Do You Remember ?- Part 2 By Anonymous

I had many friends before, but I couldn’t handle being with them because of those memories of Danny. I felt the glares at my back coming from the people walking past. This was normal for me. They all thought I was emo just because my clothes were black and my makeup was black. I just ignored them and walked into the mall. “Hey” I said when I saw my friend, Mikayla.

“Hey” she replied. We didn’t really talk much, that’s why I liked my friends. Even after hearing my ‘Danny’ story, they still treated me like they would treat anyone else.

        After a few minutes of waiting, Bryan finally appeared with his girlfriend Trisha.

“Hey guys” said Trisha. She wasn’t really like us; but Bryan always brought her along and we really couldn’t chase her away. Though, sometimes she could bring up things I wish she wouldn’t.

“Hi” I smiled at them.

“I saw this really cool shop that sells the best clothes” Mikayla announced.

“Shall we go check it out?” Bryan asked, holding Trisha’s hand.

“Sure” Mikayla replied.

       In the store Mikayla held up a black top with a red rose it.

“What do you think of this?” she asked.

“It suits you” I replied, truthfully.

“It’s a cool top, but don’t you think that Trisha would want it too?” Bryan always tried to include Trisha, but it was obvious that Mikayla didn’t approve of her.

“Yeah, me too” Mikayla rolled her eyes “April, don’t you think so too?”

“I don’t know. It’s up to you 3” I hate being in the middle of these type of things.

“Mikayla, you can have it. I don’t really like all the black clothing”. It’s true; she mostly wears pink and all those light colours. “April, how’s Danny doing?” There she goes again, doesn’t she get the message that I don’t want to talk about this.

“I don’t know. It’s been 7 years” before she tried to dig deeper I turned to Mikayla “So, are you going to get that?” She knew that I didn’t like talking about Danny.

“Yeah”

          After a few hours of ‘hanging out’ we all decided that it was time to head home. As I was walking home, I saw a boy that looked about my age, riding his scooter. He looked like he was having fun so I just tried to walk around him.

          “Oww” He hit into me really hard that I fell onto the ground.

“Are you okay? I’m sorry” The boy helped me up.

“That’s okay. My fault” I dusted the dirt from my clothes. When I looked at him closely, I realized that he seemed very familiar. “Do I know you?” I couldn’t help asking.

“I don’t think so” He replied. I didn’t want to get myself into anything that I didn't feel comfortable with.

“Okay, well. Bye” I walked away.

“My name’s Daniel by the way!” He yelled before I disappeared into the other street.
