Beth and I parted ways at the corner of North Street. I walked home with my head down. I couldn't bare looking at all the autumn beauty when I felt like shit.
I walked up the walkway to my front door. I stopped when I saw Gus. I sighed. I started walking again going past him to the door.
He jumped up. "So, this is it? We are done being friends. All because Beth doesn't like me, when she doesn't even know me."
I swallowed back the tears. "Gus, we can't. It is the only way. I told you we couldn't hang out at school. But maybe we shouldn't hang here either."
Gus stepped toward me. "No. I'm not losing my friend just because someone can't get over themselves. I like having you as my friend. I like you Estella."
"I like you too. But you have to stay away." He shook his head no.
"I promise to stay away at school. But when we are home, I am seeing you. Then maybe things will blow over and we all can be friends." Gus pulled me into a hug.
I hugged him back. "Yeah, maybe."
"I got this amazing apple pie. Would you want to come over and have some?" He back away.
I giggled. "I gue..."
Mom open the door. "Come on Estella. It's almost time for dinner. You need to wash up."
I looked at Gus. He smiled. "Rain check, E."
"Sure, thing Gus Gus." I kissed his cheek and went inside.
