Us and them..

Chapter 1

*****

We were thirteen years old when we first met ..We were three little girls with childish appearances and thoughts back then , we would always fight and tease each other and I don’t remember we had a single day of peace during the first 6 months of our freshman year in junior high .

Jane and Kate .. It brings me to laugh each time that I remember how we used to hate and bully each other back then and then see how close we are now ..

It was by the end of that school year that we started being friends.. How ? I’ve got no clue .. but we somehow managed to overcome all our feelings of hatred and become even more than friends..

Those days , Jane used to like this guy named “ Omar “ whom she first saw almost a month before the end of the school year.. a month before he leaves for high school .. she saw him for the first time at a small concert we had at school , where he was playing the piano and it’s then that she fell for him .. and starting that day until the last day of that school year , we stalked him and managed to know everything about him .. he was in the ninth grade and he was ranked first on all the ninth graders and he had the highest score on a national level for getting his musical diploma .. that only made her fall for him even more , and I’ll admit that I kind of liked him a bit too , but I wouldn’t let those feelings out , cause my best friend liked him !  he was incredibly handsome and cool ,his light brown messy  hair.. his fashionable hot messy style made the truth about him being a nerd way hard to believe ..I’ve always wished for us to talk , and I’ve secretly wished that he’d look at me ,but destiny had another plan for me .. a plan that got me stuck into it for almost 4 years .. Cause the same day Jane started to notice Omar , I started to notice this guy at the bus station .. every day at 7:30 every day for three several years .. and the weird thing about it , is that we lived in the same neighborhood , he was going to the high school that I was intending to attend  after I graduate from junior high , and still we never talked .. I wouldn’t call my feelings for him a real love , but it lasted for a bit more than four years , I cried a lot because of him , and I prayed every night for him not to be a senior so we can meet at school , and I told myself that I’ll definitely talk to him at the beginning of the school year , but he moved to study aboard two days before I started my first year in his ex-high school ..

I had a tough summer , no.. we had a tough summer , Kate , Jane and I .. it was one of the worst summers we’ve ever had .. just a month before school started , our friend , a classmate died in a car crash .. and up until now , I couldn’t describe or tell how much it affected me .. his death was more than enough to make my icy cold heart melt .. Kate was the one to inform me about his death , at the beginning I thought that it was just a bad joke , and I wouldn’t believe that she was telling the truth .. until she yelled at me and cried ..I dropped the phone as some hot drops of tears were starting to come out from my eyes .. I gathered myself up , took the phone and called Kate , to confirm once again if she was telling the truth or if she was just joking .. there was a voice inside of me that was telling me that yes , he died .. nobody’s lying to you and there’s nothing you can do , but my mind and heart wouldn’t believe that ..it was august the 15th 2012 at 2 o’clock in the afternoon , that I was told about his death.. it’s amazing how a person can still remember the finest details of one sad moment or event , and couldn’t even remember all the good times he’s had once upon a time ..
