Fifth grade, 2 years ago.

"Alright class!" My teacher says a little to enthusiastically. " Since you guys seem to not understand the division problems, i'm having some of your classmates teach you." I like teaching, maybe i'll get one of my friends!

Here we go again, another introduction, to another book, by another character. I hope this book will be one you wont forget.

Sapphire. Me. A soon-to-be seventh grader, This is the story of me and the love of my life. Who i thought was my best friend, but it was a one-sided friendship. This isn't just another story, this is and was my life. Here we go again...

Flashback

As i sat there with my best friend, i wondered 'does he like me back?' I knew the answer, he didn't, but i still tried. I tried and i tried, but all fell down.

He was teaching me division, because supposedly my teacher didn't think i could do it. I thought i could, it felt like i was getting every question right, but i wasn't . He was teaching me, and i felt embarrassed. My crush for 3 years was teaching me DIVISION something i was supposed to know.

So instead of just listening like i should have done, i decided to be stubborn. Every question he asked i answered with " a number" or " a specific number" because i was mad at myself. Not him. Eventually he gave up and i did also.

What i didn't expect was my teacher checking the grades. How stupid am i? She pulled me out fo the room, and of course that means i was in trouble. " Sapphire, why were you giving Ryan a hard time?" She asked that question like she really cared. " Because i didn't want him to teach me." I said trying not to sound irritated, but calm. " Sapphire you really need to know this stuff" Doesn't she think i know that? " I just really couldn't get into it." It was true, but it wasn't the full reason. At that moment i felt bad at how i treated Ryan, and i would have apologized even if she didn't make me. " I'm sorry Ryan." I was crying in front of him, and i couldn't tell him why. I felt like a wimp. " It's ok Sapphire " 

Those two words and my name made me smile, and stop crying for the next 4 months...
