I look into the window of my homeroom class. My friends are all gathered around my desk waiting for me to come in and shower them with hugs and stories. I wonder what they would think if they could read my mind.
I shake off these thoughts and force a smile, then walk into class.
"ADRI!" Kayley screams.
"Hey, girl, how was your weekend?" Melody asks.
"You wanna go to the mall with me, Adri?" Shanice yells.
"Hey, guys!" I smile. "What's up Kayley? It was great, Mel! Sure, Shanice, I'd love to!"
"Hey, Adrianna?" a timid voice asks. I turn around, and Anthony is standing there.
"Do-do you think we could, maybe...Can we talk?" he asks awkwardly.
I grin. "Sure!" He takes my hand and walks me out to the hallway. He closes the door and faces me.
"So..well, I've been thinking. About, um, us. And, um..." he stammers. I smile because I think I know what he wants to say.
"I think so too." I say softly. His ead jerks up.
"Really?" he asks.
"Well, just in case let's just say it so we know." I chuckle.
"Okay. 1...2...3!"
"You're like a brother to me!"
"You're like a sister to me!"
We laugh and hug each other.
"Sooo..we're good now? It won't be, you know, awkward for us?" Anthony asks nervously.
"Nope." I pop the 'p'.
We head back into class just as it's starting. I smile and think,
'See? Good days happen.'
