It was a year later that I actually remember talking to you. We were in an art class together and before we were let out on winter break, we were told by the teacher to pair up for a project that would be graded before we left. Though I had spent a year at this new school, I still didn't know anyone well enough to go up and ask anyone to be partners, but that's when you showed up.
I was standing there by my art table when you walked up to me. Truthfully I had been following you out of the corner of my eye because you fascinated me. I saw that you decline someone's offer to be partners before you had walked over to me.
Why did you do that? You were the most talented artist there and I never and still don't know why you chose to be a newbies partner who was only taking the class for the credit, not because I liked art at all. But I'm grateful that you did because that was the start of a beautiful friendship.
But all friends end they say....
