Love is blind

A Lost Friend

Kira

I walked Milo to World History. When we got there, people were staring at us. Luckily, Milo didn't notice. He was so happy and he didn't seem to care what other people thought. When I was around him it made me feel the same. We decided to exchange numbers so he could call me if he needed help. He also made sure to tell me he didn't need help getting out of school cause his mom would come and help. I didn't want to make him feel helpless so I didn't object.

Time flew by in that class because I didn't feel so alone. I dropped Milo off at chemistry and walked to vocals. I was nervous. I didn't know why. It was just a stupid class. I wouldn't probably sing today anyways and then I could just switch out of that class tomorrow anyway.

I walked into the room, faking confidence. There were music stands in a circle with chairs behind them. I sat in the one closest to me and glanced to see who was there. There was a guy I recognized from English, a lot of people I didn't remember seeing, and the girl who first rejected me in math. Next to her was Riley. Great. Then someone beside them caught my eye. Was that...Andrea? I ran over to her.

"Andrea! I haven't seen you in forever," I exclaimed, smiling.

Andrea stared back me in shock. Riley and the other girl stared at me and then looked back at Andrea.

"What are you doing here," she wondered, her face unreadable.

"Well, I'm going to school here now. We should talk more! I've missed you!"

"Ok," she said, her brown eyes looking at the floor and brushing an auburn hair behind her ear, "I think the class is about to start."

"Oh."

I looked at the clock. There was still ten minutes but I walked back to my chair anyways. What was I thinking? Of course, Andrea wouldn't want to talk to me. We used to be best friends back when I went to real school. We were as close as two friends could be. We used to have sleepovers at each other's houses every weekend. Then when we weren't with each other we were talking on the phone but then I got a record deal after my covers on YouTube exploded and I lost the time for friends. We always had dreams of going on tour together with our own band but I became popular and left her behind. What kind of a friend was I? I wanted to rekindle that friendship again but how?

As I walked away I heard Riley and the other girl whispering to Andrea.

"You were friends with her?"

I sighed and sat in my seat. I knew I was going to fight to get Andrea back but I was ready for the battle. If I just apologized that would be a good start.

Then the teacher walked in. She was a tall lady with straight hair in a long ponytail. With confidence, she strode to the center of the circle.

"Hello Class," she addressed, "I'm Mrs. Harper. Welcome to vocals! This class is a lot of fun but also has some hard work."

She went on to explain the course exasperations. I zoned out, knowing I wouldn't need them. I snapped out of it when she started talking about the first project.

"Your first project will be a group project. You will be required to perform an ensemble piece with a group of four. You will have the choice of two different pieces that we will all learn in class. you may make your groups....now!"

Everyone started talking and getting up out of their chairs. No one came up to me and before I knew it everyone had made their groups.

"Do you still need a group," Mrs. Harper inquired, a sympathetic look on her face.

I nodded. She gazed around the room and then motioned me to follow her. She brought me to Riley and Andrea.

"Can you guys fit one more?"
