nohn; everlasting

It was the first tournament of the year. I had to wake up at approximately 6 o'clock in order to get to the school on time. My day was going smoothly until a dark thought crept into my head. I remembered that I would have to run into my old friend, Nathaniel, today. I don't know how I will be able to take this, considering we haven't spoken since last year. I know, to some a year isn't a long time, but to me it lasted forever. Nathaniel and I had met when we were freshman. We were both awkward, ugly teenaged boys who had no friends and tried to make people laugh in our spare time. We connected rather quickly, almost instantaneously. It was like we had known each other for ages, although it had only been a few days. We exchanged numbers during the awards ceremony that day and we kept in touch during the week. Every tournament from then on I went out of my way to find Nathan and talk to him again. All I wanted was to see him and be with him. I don't know if he thinks the same thing.
