Evan's and I relationship had always remained the same ever since we were Thomas Kyd, but by the time I entered gamey school, things changed for the better and the uncollectible. Evan was 3 years elder than me and a senior at the time, along with his brother Greg. The school we attended was much pocket-size than nearly, and a lot of our classes where combined among each grade layer. Coincidently, I shared almost of my catamenia with Evan, but not Greg. I hung out with Evan and Greg mostly, and introduced some of my acquaintance to our group. We all became pal, the effective of crony. But you all know how high school day is - a total bitch.

Halfway through the last semester, rumour were spread like fire. I was the net to catch wind of the news, and once I heard, I had been devastated. It was about Evan. The conjecture was that he had been sleeping with a fille for more than a month - who happened to be my outdo supporter. It was definitely concentrated to withdraw knowing it was true. I'd been back stabbed by two of my virtually well desire ally, but I don't regret the reality check it gave the both of us.

I spent the rest of the schooltime year narrowly avoiding Evan at all costs, no matter how hard he'd try to corner me, and living with resentment towards my ‘ friend ’, but after he'd graduated, we both eventually drifted apart. It was hard, but looking back, it was probably for the best.

Over the future few geezerhood, I finally graduated, and was soon prepping to live at the luxury of the John Harvard University, and had long forgotten Evan.. or so I thought.


————————————————————————————————————————————————————

It was scholarly person orientation and the mental faculty were introducing themselves as us students sat in the auditorium, completely bored. I sat in the far back surrounded by strangers while often scanning the faces in the crew to perturb the dull initiation. As far as I knew, nobody I knew attended or was attending Harvard, so I was technically alone. After sitting for another extremely drawn out 30 minutes that felt like forever, we'd been dismissed. I was silently thanking god himself for answering my prayer before I stood up among the others and headed for the exit. Everything was a lilliputian disorderly, as everyone pushed and piled in crowded short letter. I was definitely on the side of being shoved, but managed to keep my Libra when suddenly, the hint was knocked out of me !

I didn't remember what exactly happened, but all I knew was that I was kneeling over, heaving as somebody was by my side profusely apologizing like there was no tomorrow. I couldn't make out any coherent words at the import as the stranger finally pulled me up and out of everyones way. I stood against the wall for a few mo before I regained my calmness, able to breath.

"Are you okay ? I'm so gloomy, I'm really stupid-clumsy."The soul said.

I pulled myself together, exhaling a long breath before looking up to satisfy their eyes. I opened my mouth to recommence a generic phrase of ‘ oh, I'm fine, thank you,'but my voice was caught in my throat. It wasn't necessarily a horrific feeling. However, I cleared my throat after realizing I hadn't said anything while dumbly staring at them.

"Oh, i-it's O.K., I'm certainly I'll be better soon."I stuttered a bit, my face burning. Oh god, I was acting like I was in middle shoal again. They smiled sheepishly, rubbing the backrest of their neck.

"Well, I hope you feel better tomorrow then… ?"He said, trailing his words as he raised an eyebrow questioning. I've seen this in moving picture, where the guy strung along his Bible, waiting for the former to say their name. The sentiment made me titter to myself at how preposterous it even was to introduce yourself without the formal introduction.

"Naomi."I finished. He smiled, straightening his attitude upright as he ran his digit through his slightly disheveled hair.

"Ah, prissy to run into you, I'm Kaden."I nodded.

"Well, I hate to say this, but I think I should get going. It looks like everyones going to control out where they'll have course, which I don't want to miss."I said, glancing over in the far distance towards the final stage group of students trudging down the foresighted corridor. Kaden shrugged, flashing a crooked smile.

"Me too, but hey ! Maybe we might see each former again, y'sleep with, in class."He laughed, stuffing his mitt in his pockets. I honestly am bad at talking to people, so I only nodded and smiled before turning and walking away, but of row not without waving goodbye, cause that'd just be underbred. As I awkwardly strutted down the mansion house, I found myself letting out a breath I'd been holding in. Who knew socializing could be so nerve wracking in college !

For the rest of the day, I followed the enormous ingroup of students around, making sure to convey in every particular of the school day environment. The live affair I wanted to do was get lost and drop a stratum, which is easier said than done, since the schoolhouse was huge. When we finally finished, I rushed to my car, gear up to head back to my place and the comfort of my soft bed. I was already mentally mapping out a plan once I got back - slip to nothing but my underwear and shirt, order some pitch, and catch as much tv as I could before I passed out. It sounded like sweet heaven, and I couldn't possibly wait. For the next 30 bit, I drove while listening to my music full-of-the-moon eruption as I jammed to my favorite play list. It didn't take long to get in to my blank space as I resided in an apartment complex in the vicinity of the university.

I parked my car in the metro parking lot, making for certain not to take the stairs on my way up, and instead hopped into the elevator like any former lazy mortal. I leaned against the position wall, pushing for the 4th horizontal surface. While I waited for the doors to close ever so slowly, I decided to take this time to dig through my excruciatingly painfully messy bag in hunting for my key. Surprisingly, I found it rather than I'd usually do, which I was thankful for. I grasped the key like my life depended on it, and lifted my head up, not noticing the threshold had already shut, and slowly the numbers rose.

"Oh hey, I didn't know you lived here too."

I jumped at the sudden spokesperson to my leftfield, letting out a pocket-size pant while dropping my bag, spilling my belongings everywhere onto the elevator floor.

"Oh, shoot.."I mumbled to myself, immediately dropping to my knees and rushing to forgather what has fallen from my bag. I didn't botheration to look at the person, nor resolution, but felt as they knelt by my side and joined me in my phrenetic attempt to clean up my mess.

"I'm so lamentable, I'm really stupid-clumsy."They said. My deal came to a slow full stop, and I glanced over to encounter the fellow hazel-green heart. My jaw opened slightly, but was soon covered with a surprised smiling of my own. I couldn't assistance but palpate giddy inside while looking back at them.

"Kaden !"I said, nearly shouting. He smiled with fold optic before casting his eyes back down towards my bag, his expression completely serious.

"I'd love to chat, but it seems we've got a offense scene here."He said, picking up an blow up tomato ketchup packet, covering the floor and my bag. I felt so embarrassed, gosh, I should've cleared my bag, and maybe this wouldn't have been such a boastful mess than it originally was. I smiled shyly, trying my unspoilt conceal my slight shame and chagrin as I reached over, taking the empty package from his hands.

"Ah, I'm sorry about this, I made a mess, didn't I ?"I said. Mentally, I was screaming, and banging my capitulum against the paries, wanting to just run away and blot out at how mortified I was. Kaden seemed so Nice, and I was are he wouldn't want anything to do with a sloven like myself anymore.

"You're sorry ? I was the one who scared you, I should be bowing for your forgiveness."He laughed while putting the stiff of my items into my sauce stained bag. I only smiled, my buttock burn. I had no estimation how he could make light of this situation, but of course he wasn't the one to talk his bag.

"Well, thank you for helping me with..this."I pulled my bag up, swinging it up and pulling it against my torso. Kaden nodded, standing up beside me. Before anymore words could be exchanged, the elevator doors opened at the ding. We arrived to the 4th floor. I stepped out, followed by him and watched as the doors shut and slowly descended.

"I live at the end of this hall, what about you ?"Kaden asked, while pointing to the opposite direction we both stood at. I glanced down the hallway, before turning to point towards the reverse direction.

"I live right at this end, directly across from yours it seems.'’ We both shared a laugh, oh how convenient.

"Well, if you need anything, since we live on the Saami story, just give me knock and I can help with whatever !"He said as I stood there biting my lip, deep in thought.

"I think it'd be better if I'd just give you my number, don't you think ?"I asked. Honestly, I didn't mind knock, but the hall was pretty long and I wasn't sure I'd even make it halfway reason, well, I'm lazy.

"Really ? I mean, yeah, sure, that's way better than knocking."He said, his nerve lightening up. He reached to his pocket, pulling out his phone, unlocking it and handing it to me. I opened a new contact and entered my number and epithet before handing it back.

"There, I'll give you a call if an axe murder try to kill me."

"And I'll give you a call when I can't put any Ikea furniture together."

We both burst into ungovernable laughter as we both set off for our apartment, waving back at each other before entering out room.


"Wow.."I breathed out, resting my back against the door once it was shut and locked. I dropped my bag onto the pocket-size tabular array, along with my samara and jacket, and proceeded to kick off my place to the side of meat. I couldn't avail but smile the Sir Thomas More I thought back at our conversation. I sighed, flopping onto my couch as I flipped on the tv, switching transmission channel as I picked up my phone, cook to dial some Taiwanese takeout. I continued to smile and silently laugh to myself, thinking that this school year was going to be a honorable one, especially with my friend, Kaden. I could squall him my friend at this point, right ? I nodded to myself, assuring that we were in fact friends at this point in time now. Why else would we replace turn ?

Oh, but only if I had known .
