Exactly the Person I Didn't Want to See (Sammie)

[Kate Perselie]

WHEN WE WERE YOUNGER WE THOUGHT
EVERYONE WAS ON OUR SIDE

I waved goodbye to my friends, smiling and walking along the courtyard. It had been a while since I had smiled truly and genuinely. I was actually pretty happy. Over the past month I had made some new friends, people I could trust. People who I liked to talk to and to hang out with. There were still the occasional jeers and sneers in the hallway from Sammie's posse, which had ensued after I had spilled Sammie's secret to a guidance counselor. Although it had almost ruined my social life, I knew that it was the right thing to do. Now I was happier than ever. I hadn't even seen Sammie since the time she urged one of her minions to pour a drink on me. At first I had felt hatred towards her, then sadness, now...nothing. After the Incident I had re-evaluated the friendships I had had in the past. All of them. And I realized that something, or someone, needed to change. Me. It took work, but I was the person I wanted to be now. A person I was proud to be. And I was proud to have the friends that I had now. I felt nothing towards my former best friend. Well, apart from the occasional blast to the past. Like now. When I saw Sammie walking along the courtyard. For once there was no posse or desperate wanna-bes (like I had once been) clinging to her every word, leaching onto her side. She was headed right towards me, sunglasses on and looking right through me. When we were only five feet apart, we both stopped. I waited for the queen bee to lift her Chanel glasses and make some snarky comment. I almost walked away. But for some reason, I didn't. For once in my life, I was speechless.

THEN WE GREW A LITTLE BIT
AND ROMANTICIZED THE TIME I SAW
FLOWERS IN YOUR HAIR

She stared at the girl who'd used to be her best friend. Friday night sleepovers, gossiping, movies, nothing like that would happen again. Nothing would ever be the same, and they were already way past the point of no return. At the thought, Sammie's heart got a little colder and her eyes got a little more empty and icy. She would have spoken right then if her heart hadn't been in her throat. "You know, Kate, we'd still be friends if you hadn't messed up. And now you're too freaking cowardly to even talk to me? God." Sammie snapped, shooting daggers with her voice and her eyes.

Sammie said, hip cocked, light pink tinted sunglasses perched delicately on her blonde hair. I hated myself for liking the sunglasses. "Nothing." I said, keeping an expressionless face. I didn't want to have this conversation here. Or any conversation with Sammie at all. My stomach churned. In reality, I wanted to talk to her. I wanted to explain. A month ago Sammie and I would have been in this same place, chatting and laughing and drinking smoothies or milkshakes. We would have been gossiping about Lucille Dars' new bangs and why they looked stupid. I stayed quiet, thinking about walking away but deciding to stay. I didn't want to give her the satisfaction.
