Just some random crap I wrote when I was bored. ^^ It's kind of stupid.
BEST FRIENDS
"So you'll always be with me?" she asked me, as we dug our feet into the sand. I looked at her and nodded once.
"No matter what!" I cried.
And we pinky-sweared on that.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
That was almost 10 years ago. I hadn't seen her in years, and finally, my parents let me go visit my hometown, just to see her. I pulled back my hair into a pony-tail and smiled. She had no idea I was visiting her. I was surprising her.
"Are you sure you'll be okay going on the plane by yourself?" Mom asked me. I nodded and rolled my eyes.
"Mom, don't think I'm still that immature girl who threw rocks at people she didn't know. I'm a mature woman now," I told her. Yet she still didn't look convinced. I took my luggage from her. "This mature woman is going to get on the plane now. I love you!"
I waved and I was off. I was one of the first ones on the plane, thankfully. I didn't get the aisle seat, either. I got the window seat. I could tell this was going to be a good trip.
I sat back and tried to regain all our memories. I remember when I first met her, back in junior kindergarten. We didn't like each other at first. We never shared anything together. Crayons, books, toys, not even the same classroom sometimes. I hated her so much. And why? Because she was wearing the same sneakers I had.
The teacher couldn't take it anymore, so she told me and her to figure it out ourselves. We looked at each other, and laughed. That's when we became friends.
In Senior Kindergarten, we shared everything together. We were inseperable. We learned how to read together, how to print, how to use the computer, everything. And we looked so much alike that people actually thought we were sisters.
My memory came flowing back: when we got in major trouble for throwing rocks at boys, when we snuck into the R-rated movie, when we kicked the birds, when we ate ice-cream together, when we roller-bladed to Emerald Lake, when we used to hide in the park after school and have those talks, all my memories in this town... were with her.
Her smile was contagious. So was her laugh. We could make each other laugh on demand. If I was sad, she would be the only one who could make me smile. If she had no lunch, I would be the only one with the lunch she'd want.
Then there was that year, when me and her liked the same boy. It was the only fight we've ever had, and it was horrible. She was more in love with him than I was, but he was in love with me. So he kissed me, and what do you know? She saw it all. She was mad at me for almost the whole entire school year.
But... two years later... my father got a premotion. And we moved out of the little town and into the city. I hated it. We forgot to keep in touch after that, so I was miserable for plenty of years. But her mom had called and told me to come, to surprise me. I was ecstatic. I hopped onto the nearest plane and here I am.
I couldn't wait to regain all those memories again.
"The plane is now landing. Please return to your seats," the voice said over the speaker. I'd been in my seat the whole time, remembering everything.
I smiled and jumped off the plane. I got my luggage and tried to find her mother. I saw her mother, and I waved. She looked at me and burst into tears.
"What's wrong?!" I asked, wiping her tears.
She looked at me with pleading eyes. "She's dead."
I froze. I stared at her. "W-what?" I stammered. "There must be some mistake. P-please don't tell me she's dead!"
"The real reason I wanted you to come, was to surprise her. She's been sick for a long time... I didn't think she would die before you came..."
Tears poured in my eyes. "When did she die?"
She looked at me and looked away. "This morning."
The news hit me so hard I stumbled back. She'd just died... no....
I cried all the way to their house. "She's in a better place now," her mother kept saying, but I knew she was still sad.
I went up to their guest room and closed the door. Without her... I have no purpose here. I looked up at the sky. The sun peaked out from behind the clouds.
She's in a better place now, I told myself, closing my eyes.
