"You don't remember" I repeated, and he only looked at me in more confusion.

"Jamie did something happen that I'm not remembering?" He asked with a pained look on his face. I nodded, since my throat felt constricted.

I really hoped he remembered but was just pretending as if it never happened like what I've been doing. But since he doesn't remember, no doubt I'll have to relive everything just to show him just what I meant.

"Will you tell me please?" He asked in a gentle voice.

His expression contradicted his question. I could see that he was afraid of what I might tell him, so he must have had an idea of what I was about to tell him. I scooted over on the park bench to give us a little space as I prepped myself to tell him.

"In my Junior year, I didn't have a phone because I smashed my last one when I had a fight with my sister. I had worked so hard at the library to save up just enough to buy a decent one, and when I did, I felt proud of myself"

I looked up from my lap to meet his eyes, and they were pretty much the same. Confused and worried.

"Well, one day I was at my locker and I had a tonne a books in my hands. My phone slipped and fell to the ground and I panicked since I hadn't bought a phone case as yet. Luckily it looked fine, so I put the books away and bent down to retrieve it. But before I could, it was kicked away from my sight. Your buddy, Luke, had made the first kick to another guy. Then to another guy and then to you.

"I shouted and begged for you guys to stop playing soccer with my new phone, and every time I chased after it, one of you would just kick it across the hall again. By the time the bell rang and you guys left, my new phone was completely broken. I cried so hard that day to the point where Alex brought me to the mall and got me another one."

"I did that to you?" He asked in disbelief, and it still stunned me that throughout my talking he still didn't remember.

"That's not the only thing" I whispered, and I saw from the corner of my eye how his head whipped towards me.

"At the beginning of the mid term break last year, I was stranded at school because I had no car, no friends and Alex had this big Exam doing that wouldn't be over until six. So I had to take the bus and the rain was pouring. For some reason the universe hates me, and I was waiting for the bus for over thirty minutes. I was soaked, cold and pretty much frustrated with everything"

Despite the seriousness of the atmosphere, I managed to chuckle at the memory. It was surely a day to remember.

"The bus stop was leaking, so that didn't provide much shelter, and for a while I had contemplated just walking the five miles home. "

I took a deep breath as I readied myself to tell him the hard part. "But then a familiar car pulled up, and at first I was scared because I knew Luke and I didn't have a 'hey you need a ride?' kind of relationship. But then I guessed that maybe he had a heart, since it was raining cats and dogs to the point where it was almost dark out and I was all alone. I thought just for a second that-"
