It all began on the first day of high school, the day our friendship began. It was the third class of the day and I had so far failed at meeting anybody new. The teacher had already introduced himself and gone to sit down, leaving us to our own devices for the rest of the class time. I was too disheartened to try and make any new friends, so I pulled it a book and drowned out everyone else. I was in the middle of a riveting chapter when your voice pulled me out of my immersion. "Whatcha reading?", I looked to my right and saw you staring at the book in my hands. That was the first time I ever laid eyes on you. "Um, it 's Cirque du Freak," "What 's it about?" "It 's about vampires..." …show more content…
I kept daydreaming about you and for that I bumped into several trashcans and mailboxes. The tux I had rented for prom was already laid out on my bed when I got home, and I somehow managed to stumble into it without hurting myself too badly.

I remember standing outside your house with you, not wanting the night to end. "I had a great time," You were looking into my eyes as you said those words. "Me too," "I guess this is goodbye," "I hate goodbyes, they 're never very good," "No, I guess they aren 't, are they?"
