i wondered how it all started
how we were the best of friends
and drifted away
until we were no longer together
strangely
the only memories i remember with her
are those happy memories
as the end of may
i could see the beautiful soft white specks
already appearing
memories flashed back to
when i was still a kid
with aria
was it strange that i wanted that?
i wanted to be a kid again
with aria
i crouched down on the grass and started it
just for the sake of old memories
and maybe for the sake of friendship
aria and i used to make these
and compare whose was better
aria's always was
and she wasn't afraid to brag about it
i grinned at the memory
as my fingers moved
connecting the dandelions
the long stems attatching with each other
as i was placing the last dandelion in place,
'hey, ella!'
irene.
'ri!'
i dropped the dandelion
'whatcha doing?'
'nothing much'
i stomped on the dandelion chain for good measure
something in myself crumbled
'girl, i heard about your breakup with mason.'
'it's oka-'
'savvanah broke up with james too. she's dating mason now, can you believe it?'
i bit my lips
she wasn't here to comfort
aria would've hugged me
given me cookies
plotted on revenge maybe
irene just wanted gossip
