How I Found My Love

As I walked down the hall I could feel people staring at me and even though normally I would feel overwhelmed, today I surprisingly felt great and even more confident than ever. Ok, let me tell you one thing about me. I am extremely confident, so if I say that I felt more confident, then you had better believe that something exciting happened. I finally arrived at my locker after a long walk. Seriously, this is just a school. Why is the path so long? I was putting the things I needed today in my bag and the things I did not need in my locker when my friend tackled me from behind. "What's up girl?" she said "Emery, you know I hate it when you do that," I stared at her with a playful, stern expression. "And you know I don't care, right?" she asked with an innocent smile on that gorgeous face of hers. I sighed and went back to what I was doing before I was rudely interrupted by my best friend. Emery stood there for a while before she finally spoke up. "Shouldn't you be packing up your books instead?" "I don't need it, besides it's not like I am going to listen to her." I paused "I can bet you that within five minutes of listening to that woman. I am going to fall asleep, plus this is also very important," I showed her my AirPods before I put them in my bag. "Kenny!!" she exclaimed a bit too loudly. I shushed her and smiled at the others in the hall who turned to look at us with strange looks on their faces and then I gestured for them to continue what they were doing. "I know, I know, you don't have to tell me," sometimes Emery could be such a mama bear. She always makes sure that you are doing the right thing and if you ever need someone to ruin the fun for you, then she's your girl. "Kenny, you know if you keep doing this you are going to fail your class and then you are going to have to start the semester all over again and I will barely see you because we won't have the same period and I'm-" "Emery calm down, you are ranting again," I cut her off. I love her so much, sure she could be overbearing, but she cared about me and I felt the exact same way towards her. I got closer to her and hugged her. "Relax Emmy, you know I love you and we will always be together, OK?" "That's if you do well in your class," she replied. "You know, you really know how to ruin a moment." "Learnt it from you," she paused. "Why are you so excited by the way?" she added. "you look exactly the same way you did when you found out you were going to be left home alone without your parents or brothers there to disturb you." I chuckled, ignoring her question, and finished up with what I was doing, and then we both walked to class before the bell could ring.
