You

Ruel's friend is cute. Not as cute as Ruel but close, not to mention he doesn't have an Australian accent. I was disappointed when I first heard him talk. I guess It'll be harder to get over him than I thought. Me, Xander, Brooklyn, and Ruel hangout a lot now. We're all going to a party tonight together; I wonder how this will go. When we got there, I noticed that Xander and Ruel were arguing and is it just me? Or is he holding a bottle. I went over and asked if everything was okay. Ruel replied, "I'm fine. Do you want to go over there and get a snack?". I could tell that something was wrong by the tone of his voice and the way he immediately changed the subject. We went over get a snack and I saw Ruel walk out the door.

Ruel

"I saw you just the other night I didn't even recognize you. Find it kind of strange, I guess that people change
but I didn't expect you to. You and me were so, so close and maybe that's what hurts the most. It's out my hands, I've done what I can, so I just save my breath." I wrote down these lyrics when Xander was confusing me. Xander has changed so much from the last time I saw him in Australia. About 15 minutes into the party he pulled a bottle of beer. "Were only 16 come on man if people see us, they'll call the cops" I replied. "You're so different now Ruel we used to have fun back in Australia." "Oh, I'm the one who changed. What happened to you?" Things have been weird ever since Xander showed up. It's like I never really left Australia. The only thing that kept me going was knowing that I get to see (your name) almost every day. She is always positive about everything. She even asked if I was okay because she noticed that me and Xander were arguing. I didn't want to draw attention to me and Xander, so I decided to take a breather outside. I was sitting on the porch when I heard the door open behind me. I heard (your name) approaching and sitting down next to me. My heart picked up its pace as she adjusted closer to me. "What's going on with you and Xander, I know everything's not fine. You don't have to tell me, but just know that I'm here for you. I care about you Ruel."
