"I don't really know what to do. Being single again feels the same" I shrug still bored and Milo turns to me. It's been a couple of days and i'm bored out of my mind. We broke up on Monday and it's Friday now.

"Girl you can go out, kiss some guys, without feeling like trash, meet some more guys, and just anything" Milo comes out of my closet and holds out my 8th grade banquet dress.

At the sight of it I laugh out loud.

"Oh my god, No!" I stand up and walk to it. Ugh this dress. I thought it was the best thing ever. Even though it was a size too big I still loved it.

"You know besides how short it must be on you now... and if you just tightened up the waist, it wouldn't be too bad" Milo shrugs. That dress looked horrible on me, but i loved the dress. I should have listened to my mom when she told me it was too big. I thought it made me look better. Damn

"Can I fix it up?" Milo has been in fashion design for two years now. He absolutely loves it.

"Sure, I don't care, and I have some place to be" Milo gives me a questioning face and I smile.

"Oh just to see my favorite old lady" Milo nods and tells me that he's gonna stay at my house and "fix" the dress.

I grab my keys from downstairs and drive to West Hill.

"Ohhhh, Susan" I open the doors and walk to the front desk. Susan jumps up and turns to me startled.

"Stella" she puts her hand over her heart and gasps. I give her a big smile

"You know you coming here at random and yelling my name isn't doing us any good" I laugh and sign in.

"How's Kerry?" I ask and sign the paper.

"She's good; she often talks about you" A slight smile makes its way on my face.

"I'm gonna go to the cafeteria" it's dinner time, so i know she'll be in there. Susan nods and I walk down to the cafeteria.

I quickly spot Kerry at her usual table. I walk over and stand behind her. I was going to plan to scare her but something catches my eye.

My nose starts stinging, and i try to fight the tears.

There's a birthday headband on the chair next to her.

I pull out my phone and check the date.

April 12th

Oh my fuck i can't believe I forgot

I place my hand on Kerry's shoulder and she slightly jumps and turns to me. A giant smile forms as she looks at me.

I smile back and give her a hug.

"Stella! Wait we're you crying?" I turn my head in confusion then let out a pained laugh.

I nod my head. "I forgot" I look at the birthday headband and look down. I sit down on the chair beside her, and she wraps her arm around me.
