Walking to gym

Up the hill

Across the bridge

To the track

Talking to my best friend

“Should I go talk to her?”

I stared at the girl in front me

“Yes. Go!”

My best friend Anouk was always there to give me advice

I’m super indecisive

The girl in front of me was someone I wanted to be friends with since fifth grade

“But what should I talk about?”

“Just talk about keeper of the lost cities! You know everything about it! Cause of Izzy that is.”

Yes. I do know a lot about it. My best friend Izzy was a huge fan at the time.

“I don’t know…what if I mess up my sentences and trip on the way over?”

“You’ll be fine”

We were at the track

Classmates stretching

I was so scared

I’ve been so mean to her lately

And now I just turn around all happy sunshine rainbows?

“Go”

My friend pushed me into her

“Heyyyyyy.”

That was so stupid

“Hi”

“Soooo you know Dex right? I love him. He’s my favorite character.”

“Oh yes I find him very relatable.”

Yes! She was actually talking to me!

“Oh we’re doing the long jump today? Yes! I’m really good at it.”

I sometimes forget how easy it was to say hello to a stranger.

Based on a true story. Sorry I didn’t include the whole entire story cause this was supposed to be a poem but then it turned into a story anyway…
