She turned around and saw him. He looked different. His features seemed more defined and he had this roughness about him. The last time she saw him, he appeared to be approachable and had this welcoming presence to him. Now, she was afraid to even look in his direction. She was walking ot her next class and looked down as she passed by him. It was the first day of school and she hadn't spoken or seen this boy in 2 years. The accident had torn them apart. They once knew everything about each other and would stay up until 4am talking about their fears, their goals, their desires. Now, they were complete strangers. As she approached him, her breath quickened. It felt like she was going to have a heart attack right their in the hallway. He looked up at her and his jaw tightened. Pain struck his eyes and he had to look away before his face gave away his emotions. They walked passed each other, not a word said, and she walked into her classroom and took a seat in the very back. She wasn't in a social mood, so she tried to avoid eye contact with everyone. He walked into his classroom and sat down in the very front. Not wanting to be bothered by the students behind him, and avoiding contact with everyone. As different as these 2 were, they shared one thing in common. And that was pain.
