Sam remembered the first time he realized he wanted to die. He was overlooking the private lake near his house, thinking about how deep the water was and imagining if the icy water filling his lungs would feel better than the suffocation he's grown accustomed to.
But today he was standing next to his neighbour, Mara, the ever curious and observant new friend of his. He was standing in the lake as the water reached his knees and he felt her eyes watching him from the shore.
He enjoyed her company, and maybe she was teaching him all the lovely things to enjoy before dying. Maybe her friendship was what he needed.

"I... Am here to see you.", I told him as I placed my hands around his neck. I could feel my heart beat getting faster but I had to keep it strong if I had to survive this scenario. "What?", Brandon asked completely startled. I leaned in more closer to him. The only good thing in this entire scene was that he wasn't pushing me back due to my creepy behaviour. "Oh... Bran, I was missing you so much, I just... I needed to see you.", I said as I came up with lie. "Are you drunk?", Brandon asked as he leaned in closer trying to smell my mouth. Thank God Fel had given me her mint gum only moments before I went commando and came inside the locker room. "What?", I scoffed still standing extremely close to Brandon. "I just.... I was missing your gorgeous face.", I told another lie. But wait? His face is gorgeous so that isn't a lie. And was I not missing seeing him? I noticed Brandon who just had his eyes popped out of his socket with bewilderment at my words. I decided to peck him on the cheek before I storm out of the locker room. I leaned ahead to peck Brandon who moved his face in my direction and instead of his cheeks, our lips crashed. Brushing against each other, our lips touched. I could feel fireworks exploding inside my entire body.
