![]() ![]() ![]() I like how the narrator was so protective of Danny's seat, asking that other boy not to occupy it. It's amazing. Your writing is awesome. I think I'll treat people better now... |
![]() ![]() ![]() It's always the little things you miss when you're missing someone. Their footsteps, their scent, the way they smile, their presence. Stories like this invokes feelings that can't be said, only understood. I've missed a boy from my childhood that I was never good friends with. He was more of an acquaintance, the one you occasionally talk to. Never really had a full conversation with him. I remember he was perverted for his age and disgusting. I haven't seen or heard from him for four years. Even though he was just an acquaintance, I talk about him more than the closer friends that I had. I think about him more. His goofy smile and his awkward, tummy-out stance pops up in my mind from time to time. I could live without him just like I have been for the past four years. Yet I will always miss him, wishing I wasn't disgusted by him and could have gotten to know him more. |

![]() ![]() ![]() You know...I had a friend like that. Oh no, he didn't die or anything! He just moved back to Canada is all... And I...I always chastised him for copying my work and taking the credit I earned - I am a straight A student you know - and he'd just laugh and brush it off. I really miss him. Wonder if we'll ever meet again... Hopefully, we still have the chance to, unlike Danny. Oh so silly Danny. |
