Old Mates

prologue

Losing your childhood best friend is the worst thing ever. You feel like trash when you lose your best friend.

Life was going all right for me until a stupid mistake I made. Honestly, if there were time machines, I'd use one to go back in time and just fix everything. Why?

Well, because I yelled at my own best friend. That doesn't sound that serious, as many friends yell at each other. But the things I said were things that friends don't say to each other. Not gonna lie, I regret yelling it. Bonnie, my best friend who probably hates me now, is probably... upset, as we have been friends since 1st grade; we're in 8th grade now.

Don't get me wrong, Bonnie is a great friend; it's just that I have anger issues and ADHD.

In my family, most males have anger issues, but I'm the only one with ADHD. Having anger issues and ADHD is hard... It's hard to make friends, socialize, and all that bullcrap. I mean, Bonnie is popular and I'm just a stupid kid who has no friends except for Bonnie.

Anyways, back to my anger issues stuff. I don't like it when people out their attention on me when I'm angry, to be honest. My anger never really shows unless someone really pisses me off or when I'm venting about something that made me really mad. You're probably wondering, "Why'd you yell at Bonnie, then?" Well, there's no reason to why I did. I mean, other than the fact that I got angry at how people are rude to me. All Bonnie did at the moment was just sit there and listened as I yelled at her. I mean, I guess she's used to it by now?

Anyways, I'm here standing on Bonnie's porch, waiting for someone to open the door. Bonnie's mum, Catherine, then opens the door.

"Oh, hello there, Arnold. If you're looking for Bonnie, she's up in her room," Catherine says.

"Thank you, ma'am," I smile at her. I walk upstairs and to Bonnie's room. When I reach Bonnie's door, I stand there wondering if I should walk in or knock. I then make up my mind and walk into Bonnie's room. Looking around, her room was NOT what I expected to see. Bonnie's room was a mess, which is unusual. She never trashes her room unless she's upset. I look around and call Bonnie.

"Bonnie? Are you here?"

She comes out of her bathroom, looking like a...mess.

"What are you doing here?" She asks rudely. Okay yeah, I should've knocked instead of just walking into her room. Wow, how stupid of me.

"Um, I just wanted to say sorry?..." I blurted out.

"Well, what you said hours ago shows that you hate me and that you should get the hell out of here now," she says angrily. I stare at her and walk slowly to the door.

"I'm sorry though..," I whispered. That wasn't expected, honestly. She usually forgives me, as she knows I have anger issues that's hard to control' she also knows that I have ADHD. Well, I guess I'm alone now.

***

As I'm walking home, my phone starts ringing. I get my phone out of my picket and look at the caller ID: Mum. I accept the call.

"Hey, mum," I mumbled.

"Hey honey, would you do me a favor and pick up Nell?" I nod, then realize that she can't see me.

"Yeah, sure," I reply.

"Thanks, love you," she says.

"Love you too."

I hang up and walk to Nell's school. As I get to Nell's school, I see Nell waiting outside with her 3 friends.

"Hey, big bro. Ready to go?"

I nod and smile at her. We start walking home together and we ask each other about how our days were. As we're walking, I bump into someone.

"Watch where you're going," I growl. Nell stares at me in shock. I look at her confused and then I look up to see Bonnie. Oh.

"Oh um, I'm sorry," Bonnie mutters. I glare at her and then get up to walk home with Nell.

"What was that back there? Aren't you friends with Bonnie?" Nell asks.

"No, not anymore," I sigh.

"What happened?" Nell wonders. I then tell her everything...

A/N:

Hey y'all. This story is based off of my friendship with one of my...friend? I don't even know what she is to me anymore. Anyways, there will be some characters in this story that are part of RoadTrip. No it's not a fanfiction. It's just that I needed some characters, and they were the best people to use since they had the personalities I needed. Oh whale... I hope you enjoy :)
