I watch my friend as she braids her hair, sitting in a chair not to far away from me. Why does it have to be like this? I wondered as Lynna looks over at me and smiles. "What's wrong Jonna?" I herd her ask and I stammer out "N-Nothing... Don't-don't worry about it..." I look quickly away when Lynna frowns and gets up. "Jonna your a really bad lier." I herd her say, fallowed by foot steps and a hand on my shoulder. My heart hammered in my chest when her small hand landed on my shoulder and I just stare at it, not hearing her asking me what was wrong again. Oh my god... Oh my god her hands on my shoulder... It wasn't the first time Lynna had touched me, we had been friends our whole lives, but lately just simple touches have sent my heart hammering.
Slowly I blink my eyes as I was shaken by Lynna. "H-Hu?" I mumble and look up at my friend, her bright ice blue eyes showing concern. I manage a feeble laugh as I rub the back of my neck "S-Sorry... Just in m-my own world for a second there. Lynna smiles a bit at me and my heart starts to hammer again. Lynna softly asks me "Do you want to come over Jonna? You haven't been over for a while." I smile a small, nerves smile "S-sure..." I slowly say as I stand up from my seat and grab the books off of my desk and my bag off of the back of my chair. Lynna smiles and we walk out of the class room together. Over my shoulder I herd someone call Lynna's name so I look back. "I'll be right back okay?" she said and I hesitantly nod. Lynna runs back and I saw her hug someone, a guy. My heart drops. Slowly I turn away and hug my books close to me.
I stood there silently as tears fall slowly down my cheeks, Lynna walks up behind me, laughing at something HE said. When she sees me her laugh stops, and her smile fades. "Jonna... Jonna what's wrong?" she asks me but I just shake my head and take in a shaky breath "N-n-nothing." I stammer but the tears wouldn't stop. "Jonna stop lying!" Lynna snapped at me in her rare mad tone. "I just... I just... I wish I had someone... Like you have Danny..." I mumble, motioning back to the boy that she had just hugged. Lynna frowns and wraps her arms around me in a friendly hug, though it ment so much more to me. Lynna... Oh how I wish I could tell you the truth... "Oh Jonna, why didn't you just tell me that?" I smile sadly at my friend "Because... Because I know it will never happen. I'm not pretty... I'm not smart... But you are... You could have any guy... Any person... You want." I let out a small sigh. "I'm nothing like you... No guy would ever want to be with me."
"Just shut up Jonna." I herd her say and I froze. What...? "Jonna don't be saying lies like that. Any guy would be lucky to have a girl that's sweet, pretty, and smart. Just like you are." My heart nearly stops. She thinks I'm sweet? That I'm pretty? "Lynna but..." she shakes her head and kisses my forehead like she all ways did to cheer me up. "No if's, and's, or but's about it Jonna." she smiles down at my and I couldn't help it, I smiled right back up at Lynna. "Your my best friend, and I know any guy would be lucky to have you as a friend." After a moment of silence, where I just looked up at Lynna, I smile a bit and nod. "Thank you Lynna... Thank you." She grins at me and keeps one arm wrapped around my waist as we walk out of the school.
My heart had settled down from her touch, but I still couldn't believe she was walking with me like this. After a few minutes of walking down the street silently, just listening to our foot steps sitting on concreat, I ask her. "Lynna...?" She looks down at me "Yeah Jonna?" Slowly my eyes move from the ground to my friends bright blue eyes. "Can I... Can I ask you something?" Lynna smiles softly and nods "Of course Jonna. You should know that by now. I nod slightly "Yeah... I don't know but... I just like asking..." I just like hearing your voice... Seeing your smile... And being so close to you... I correct myself in my head and I shake my hand, my dark brown mess of a hair flopping all over the face. "Why are you my friend?" I ask her softly and she stops in her tracks. "Why would you even ask that Jonna? We've been friends since Pre-school!" Slowly I nod "Yeah... I know Lynna but... We're so different now... I mean... Your so popular and I'm... I'm just some weird girl..."
"Jonna stop! Just stop okay?! I've been your friend since Pre-school and I wouldn't just abandon you, just because we hang out with different crowds doesn't mean that I don't want to be friends with you any more." I looked up at my friend, shocked. Lynna had never yelled at me like that before... Never. That same thought seemed to register in her mind and she frowns a bit, hugging me. "I'm... I'm sorry Jonna I..." Before she could say anything I put my hand up to stop her. "No... Don't... Don't worry about it Lynna... Your right... We've been friends for so long to shouldn't be thinking about this. I'm sorry."
