I was working hard setting up my project that was due later that afternoon. I was proud with my work that was almost complete. The kids around were all goofing off with no teacher there, throwing back and forth a paper ball. When I left my seat to gather more material, big mistake, the moment I left, the structure, which I worked so hard on all day, crumbled into pieces thanks to the paper ball. Quickly I picked it up the pieces off the floor and glared at anyone that tried to say anything. Just then the only friend I had in that class walked in late, not knowing what had happened. When he asked, something inside snapped and I stormed off, hot tears of anger and resentment rolled down my cheeks.

After some time, (I had calm down by then), outside was my friend, frustrated and his back face toward me. Didn’t take long to realize he was upset that I had ignored him. I climbed the stone wall that he leaned against, to get closer to him, since he was taller, he didn’t turn around. “I’m sorry.” No response. “I’m sorry” I say again “Look if your upset, don’t just take it out on me” “Just turn around.” he listened and turn, looking straight at my eyes, where they were red from earlier. “It was rude of me, didn’t mean that act like that to you.” I leaned over to hug his neck; he wrapped his arms around to prevent me from fall of the wall. A few seconds, he was carrying me in his arms. I mumbled “I’m sorry” once again as I grasped his jacket and laid my head on his shoulder. “I know.” he spoke softly. After debating, I decided to say something I’ve been wanting to for so long. “I love you.” He gave a short sigh, turn to look at me smiling. “Why didn’t you just say so before” “Alright, lets see what we can do about that project.”
