Rye's POV
Andy was never that popular. We used to be very close friends back in grade 7, but we eventually drifted apart as I became more popular. You see, in grade 8 I became friends with this cool kid named Sonny. He was tall and handsome and all the girls wanted him, so when he asked me if I wanted to sit with him at lunch of course I said yes! We started hanging out more and got pretty close, but the only problem was that he didn't like Andy. I still wanted to hang out with Andy though, but eventually Sonny got angry and said I had to choose, Him or Andy. This might have been a stupid decision, but I chose Sonny. After all, I was a nobody for many years, but when I was with Sonny I was automatically a cool kid. I told myself I didn't have to worry about Andy, now was my time to shine. I ended up ghosting Andy, and we haven't talked since. But something weird started happening after we stopped being friends. Andy's Mom died in a car crash, and his dad killed himself soon after. Andy was sent to live with his uncle, but he was very abusive and got drunk a lot. Every day when Andy came to school, he had fresh bruises on his arms and legs. After a while, he started wearing hoodies amd lang pants to cover them up, but I knew they were there. What killed me the most though was that every day, he slowly lost the glimmer in his eyes. Before his Mom died amd I left him, he was so happy, and his blue eyes shone brighter every day. But slowly, the glimmer dulled, until it was nothing but a memory. I felt so bad, but Sonny kept reminding me of my decision. So I convinced myself that I didn't need Andy. I told myself I was too good for him, but deep down I knew he was too good for me.

Fast forward to grade 10, aka now. Andy is still not popular, and I don't think he even has a single friend. Me and Sonny are still close, and we've added some new people to our friend group. There's Mikey Cobban, A nice kid who came to our school in grade 9, and Jack Duff, An Irish kid who got expelled from his old school for beating someone up so bad they ended up in a hospital. I'm ok with them, but sometimes I feel like they're not my true friends.... sometimes I miss Andy. But I know I can't, so I push the feeling away.
