I will refer her to her as Kayla cuz that's what she likes to be called. Her given name was Maggie Kayla Strausser.
Everybody called her Maggie Except me. I met her twelve years ago at summer camp when we were barely 7 years old. The day we met, I immediately showed her what a Charming young man I was by pulling her hair and mocking what I thought was a strange name. She had always hated her name. Needless to say, I was not her favorite campmate.
Oddly enough, Kayla and I became in spite of our first encounter.
Kayla was very plain with a gawky, insecure nature.
She was short with a round face and stringy brown hair. She wasn't what you would call attractive, if that term can be applied to a 7year old.
She was not much of a conversationalist,
Except when she she talked to me.
We clicked. She would always complain about homely––ugly even. I couldn't help but to wonder who was feeding her those thoughts, but I would just laugh it off and tell her how beautiful her eyes were. She'd try to hide her tiny smile, but I knew that it ment something to her.
We grew up together on the same street in a small town In northern Wisconsin.
The summers were warm and the winters were cold, and our playful activities adapted accordingly with snowball fights in the winter and tree jumping in the summer. In autumn, we'd gather leaves and then wrestle in them; in the spring we'd pick flowers.
Wintertime was always the best, though. Sledding trips and fireside secret-telling were a blast. She was the kind of best friend who would tell you everything. Her eyes always showed what mood she was in -and they were beautiful.
And then 4days later
She had woken up with pain and went to the hospital.
She had stage 3 lung cancer
She has to carry this oxygen tank around she refers to Herself as ugly but she is the most beautiful girl I've ever seen in my whole life I wish I could tell her that she's beautiful and believe me.
I wish I could just tell her that I'm in love with her
6days later
She'd had went to the doctors and found 0 tumers we were so happy .
I think imma tell her how I feel 2morrow...
