Golden-Brook High

Alex

I reach my locker and slide down to the floor, resting my forehead against my arms.

Faith

I find Alex and crouch infront of him, "Hey," I whisper, "I know how you feel, Alex. Losing someone...It's horrible. I'm so sorry I brought love up and everything.."

Alex

I glance up at her and flash a smile, "No.. I shouldn't have...reacted like I did. You didn't know. Don't apologize."

Faith

I flash a small, shy, smile back and shrug, "But....I mentioned it."

Alex

I sigh, smiling, "Forget it, kid. Like I said, you didn't know. Now, frolic along. You're being missed."

Faith

I frown and slide next to him, "That's not going to happen. And I totally love it how you're calling me 'kid' when I'm grades higher than you....and I'm practically the same age..."

Alex

I chuckle, "I'm seventeen, kid. I will always be older, despite my grade level and your freakish intelligence."

Faith

I shrug, casually leaning against him, "Hah. So? I'm sixteen. Doesn't really make a difference."

Alex

I flash a smile, "It does, kid. I'm still older."

Faith

"No it doesn't, kid. We're only one year apart," I glance up at him, smiling.

Alex

I smile and ruffle her hair, gently shoving her away, "Whatever. Just let me keep calling you that."

Faith

I shake my head at him, sitting criss-cross beside him, "Why?"

Alex

I shrug, "'Cause I have a nickname for everyone and your other friend already has Fa and Sis taken."

Faith

I shake my head at him and smile, sitting against the lockers next to him again, "Alrighty then."

Alex

I smile and study her, "Thank you."
