I was walking through the halls quitely, trying not to get hit by the crowded bunches of bodies surrounding me. My eyes glanced at each of their faces, desprately looking for one of my friends. A hand waving in the distance caught my attention and I immediately turned away and disapeared into the nearest hall. It was Liam. I still felt anger towards him for what happened yesterday, even though he didn't really do anything. It seemed sort of strange to stay friends with him anyways. But this is a stupid reason to be mad at him.
My mind swam through different scenarios, contemplating why I reacted like I did and wishing that I would have waved back or something. I just sighed and decided that the past was the past. When I turned around to walk back into the room of crowded people, I crashed into a big... hmm what's the word muscular, body. He caught me by the shoulders so I didn't fall and stepped back saying sorry. I blushed when I realized that it was Liam.
"Hey I saw you back there," He said pointing towards the mess of people. "I thought you saw me, but I guess not." He knows that I saw him and ignored him on purpose. I could tell that he was hurt.
"Oh I'm sorry, I guess I was too busy trying not to get trampled out there," I laughed, hoping that he will believe my lie.
"Yeah I guess," He smiled, seeming happier with my response. "So I just wanted to tell you how sorry I was about yesterday. My friends acted like dicks." He said, suddenly covering his mouth, "Sorry I guess that wasn't a very nice word."
I laughed and said, "That's fine, thank you for apologizing." I was shocked that he was here asking for forgiveness. I haven't ever heard a man say he was sorry. Not even my grandpa and definetly not Jay.
"I also really want to make sure we are still friends. I have been stressing over it all night and I think it's safe to say that you are one of my best friends, it would kill me if you avoided me." After he confessed this I felt another pang of guilt for walking away from him.
"Of course I'll stay your friend, I'm really glad that you actually care enough about me to tell me this," after I told him this I thought it sounded stupid, but I meant it. I have been feeling really lonely lately and thought that my only real friend was Emma. I guess I was wrong.
He chuckled and said, "Why wouldn't I? Your awesome," I laughed and we walked to our Chemistry class together.
