But now she's gone, so what does that do to us?
By sixth grade, she left us. That was only two years ago, but it feels much longer.
You and I stopped talking as much. It seemed we attached ourselves to certain groups and stayed there. With the occasional guilty greetings, it seemed neither of us wanted to reunite, or did we just lack the courage?
By seventh grade, we had both pulled away and seemingly moved on like we should. But our little sisters were friends and so we were forced to communicate that one time. Was I the only one trying?
Eighth grade, we share a class. Within the first semester, I ignored you, despite our inconvenient seating chart. But things changed afterwards.
"So, are you trying out for Pom next year?" I managed to give the illusion of confidence as I always do.
"I plan to." Shy, just like then. "I'm scared I won't make the team..."
"We can go together."
"Sure." I can't tell if your smile was real or fake.
Nostalgia and other powerful emotions glaze me as I reach out and touch your arm. "We'll stick together, right?" Just like when Tessa was here.
You seemed to brighten up, to my surprise. "Yeah!" You suddenly sounded enthusiastic.
I have to wonder if you really cared for me and what you think now. Silly things like that matter deeply to me.
