Tires screeched as I did many donuts around the parking lot of an unknown grocery store. My friend Brianna was sitting in the passenger seat, screaming her ass off. My other friend Rin was filming the whole thing. I loved my friends.

Notice how I said loved.

Things didn't end too well.

And as if the whole world was against me, Rin was shot in the head by a drunk man on the sidewalk. And that left a wound in my heart forever. Even 'till this day, even if it's healed, it's a scar. It's a scar I don't like to talk about. Everything crumbled away after that night. I lost all the friends that I loved. All for one boy.

All for one boy,

because I love him.

I screamed as Luna hit me on the back of my head. "Don't do that, you pig!" I screamed. Luna is my best friend. Luna has always been there, and she continues to be. "I told you to stop writing in that damn book." She sat down next to me and read the contents of my 'damn book'. She knows why I do it, yet she still scolds me. "I need you to try your best, Rose. I need you to try even when you feel down." I simply nodded. "I don't want you living like this. Okay?" She always knows how to comfort me.

"Yeah. I'm sorry." She smiled at me, just like she always does. "It's okay to feel sad. Just don't let it get to you too much. Now get up, class starts in 30 minutes!" She took my book and ran to the bathroom to straighten her hair. I forget to mention, I'm Rose. Just Rose. This is my mind of endless thoughts. I don't have a surname because I'd rather it kept hidden. I was an orphan growing up and have never met my parents, so the surname is the last I have of them. My life is so average you don't want to hear about it. But here you are, I guess. I go to The Original West College in California. I keep my circle small. You know enough now.

"I might as well do my makeup now, otherwise I'll be late again."
