Twins(Discontinued)

5: She came back- Year 4

I was now in 10th grade. I was as depressed as ever. The boy I liked didn't like me back. Still no Lilac. I tried to keep my grades up though, as I needed to go to college.

The first term of the year flew by. So did the last term. It was already summer and I was so close to finishing highschool. Just one more year. Fifth form.

I had a new neighbour that summer. I didn't know who it was yet. My mom invited them over for dinner apparently. I didn't want to meet them but I had no choice. I didn't have anything better to do anyways.

The neighbours came at around 6 in the evening. I was just coming downstairs. I turned to look. It was Lilac. Lilac was here.

I was neither happy nor sad. I didn't know what to feel. She came back. I wasn't ready for this.

I calmed down and had a seat. I completely ignored her presence.
I think she forgot about me.

After dinner, she went home. I wondered where her parents were. I asked my mom.

D: Mom, where are Lilac's parents?
Mom: They died in a car crash honey.
D: Oh.

I didn't know what else to say. They died? Is that why she moved back? How could she afford a house? Is she going back to school?

All these questions were running around in my brain. I didn't know what to do. Maybe I should comfort her? Maybe we could be friends again?

I went to sleep that night feeling restless.

When I woke up the next day I got ready and went straight over to Lilac's house. I knocked on the door and she opened it.

D: Hi Lilac, how are you?
L: Hello. Who are you?

My world shattered right then. Who am I? Did she forget me? How? We've known each other forever. I know it's been a year but that's not that long. I paused, not knowing what to say.

D: I- I'm your neighbour. My name is Diamond, nice to meet you.
L: Oh I saw you yesterday at dinner, right? Why didn't you speak?
D: I'm just shy, that's all. Don't you remember me?
L: What do you mean? Did I know you before?
D: No thats not it, nevermind. I just wanted to see how you were doing, that's all.
L: Ok then, bye Diamond.

I made that so awkward. What's wrong with me?

I went home. I visited Lilac everyday of the summer but most of the time she didn't answer the door. I wondered why. I would see her at school anyways, right? I hope I do.

That was my summer. I was shocked she came back and I hoped we could be friends again. I hope she remembers me.
