Dear Mae,

Do you remember the day when you came to our house for the playdate our mothers set up?

You didn't seem to understand that we don't like you making pigtails of our nine-year-old selves.
But we liked your excitement so we stayed quiet or shall I say only I? George always fought with you on petty matters and I always defended you.

Still, see where we have ended now. It's funny how I still love you even after all the feelings of betrayal, I would still die to have you in my arms.

Today, you were really very happy when we entered school, yesterday you and George made it official and today the whole school will know.

I was walking as a half-dead man around. Truthfully you and George were my only friends
And now that you guys are together, I have this villainous feeling inside me. I want to break you guys apart but how could I do that, you are guys are my everything.

So on we went that day. Everyone who thought that I liked you pitied me and others  congratulated you guys.

I saw you guys kiss again and again for heaven's sake.

And when I couldn't take anymore I ran to an empty classroom.

I cried and felt like a coward. that is when she barged in.

"She doesn't love you so crying is of no use," And that is when my eyes snapped to her, Elaine. I never realised of her presence in the room; I never do actually because she is a quiet person.
Her blue eyes shining in the dim lightning and her posture firm and composed.

"Why are you here? Get out!" She just stared at me for a while then turned around and left the room without saying anything.

She surprised me on different occasions in the past. She is just different from the others and I hate that about her. People should be like you Mabel, pure, divine-

"Crying doesn't suit you, Henry."
A meek voice came and I knew it was her again but this time she had my bag which I dropped outside the classroom in a hurry.

"Who are you to judge that? " I hissed and she stumbled, backwards.

"I am Elaine Martins, your classmate and potentially a friend if you would ever notice me," She moved forward and with a light tone said,
"And the girl who has a crush on you." That was enough to make me livid. How dare she say that?

"Get lost okay! You can't take advantage of a person's condition this way!" I thundered upon her but she didn't even flinch she stood there and nodded and said " I was just trying to help." Before leaving.

Help my ass! You know how these kinds of people are Mabel.

Always being the sticky leech.

I can never like someone like her.

Yours Lovingly,
Henry.
