You didn't avoid me after that, thank goodness. I wasn't sure how I would feel if you did.

Instead, things went back to normal. You gave no indication of what had happened thag Tuesday night and I didn't, either. We went back to the pointless arguments, the sneaky stealing of each other's possessions, and the secret inside jokes that no one else seemed to get.

It was then I remembered that you weren't just a classmate or a crush. You had been one of my closest friends.

Had been.

I didn't even know anymore. Ever since what had happened last year...

I shook my head at the thought. No, stop thinking about it. The past is the past.

But the worst thing was, I never apologized for what had happened back then either.
