"Francena!"
The familiar voice of my best friend stripped me away from my thoughts. I shake my head, removing all of my distractive thinking and turn towards the tall boy before me. Graham, always the best dressed out of the trio, sported on Nike grey shorts that reveals his tone leg muscles, matching himself with a half-zipped hoodie in the same shade. His attire falls down to his shoes, topped with black Yeezys.
Sweat drips down his forehead as he pulls a halt to our morning jog.
I stopped once I matched his distance, "huh?" I replied, wiping my forehead with the sweatband on my wrist. "Sorry, I got distracted."
"Yeah, no shit," his breathing pattern in shallow pants. Graham bend himself over as his palms pressed against his knees, catching his breath. "What's going on?"
I feel lost without her.
"Nothing," I shook off his curious stare, "just school really."
"Yeah right," Graham bite back, his words coming off in pants. "That might've worked last time, but Rose is not here, and I'm not taking that answer." Graham refers back to me zooming out while thinking about love letters Julian was receiving, "what's going on?"
I sigh, knowing there's no use in hiding it, "I–it's just–have Julian ever seemed, I don't know, depressed?"
Graham pulled himself back up into a straight position. "What are you talking about?"
"Like during soccer practise, your games, or like around freshman year or during it. I don't know, did Julian ever seem sad?"
Graham paused as he stares at me. I knew it was a stupid question but I had to ask. Having a girlfriend and having been broken up with must've had an impact on you, especially if it's your first love — and not to mention, if you keep mentioning her every now and then. Graham shakes his head, answering my question, "Nope. Not that I knew of." I sigh, expecting Graham not to have notices Julian as much as I would like, "why?"
