________________________________________

Once I was by the courtyard, I ducked my head and began making my way to the front of the school. My family wasn't so aware of what happened when they dropped me off here. I couldn't tell them though. I need to just deal with it by myself. Well, it's not like I'm alone in this place.

As I was about to walk up the front steps I heard someone call my name. I stopped and looked around me, searching for the person. I knew who it was, considering only two people in this school called me by my actual name.

Dylan.

We've been friends ever since we started high school. I still remember when we first met, I was eating lunch and him being the weirdo that he is, decided to try and steal my lunch. I may have punched him in the face, causing him to tackle me to the ground, ending with us both having detention. Having detention with him was interesting, I never knew that a person could shoot a spitball so well, that it hits the inside of a sleeping teachers nose. I don't know what I'd do if I ever lost him as a best friend.

"Happy Birthday Sky!" He yells out as he pulls me into his embrace, hugging me tightly. I wrap my arms around his neck, smiling. He pulls back before dramatically bowing down and holds out a red velvet cupcake with oreo icing. Yum.

"Thank you Dylan." I say as I give him another hug before taking a small bite of the delicious cupcake.

"And here is your present-"

"Dylan, I told you I didn't want a present." I whined, pouting up at him while crossing my arms over my chest, still holding the cupcake.

"Yes you did, but when have I ever listened?" He makes a good point. No matter how many times I've told him to not buy me presents, he always did. I put my hands up in surrender, playfully glarring at him. He smiles before reaching into his bag and pulling out a small black box. He opens the box, causing me to gasp. Inside was a small bracelet with half a heart on it reading, 'Best...'

"Dylan it's beautiful. Thank you!" I say as I put it on my wrist before hugging him tightly again. I pull back and ask for the other half. He winks before pulling out his car keys and showing it to me. I smile as I see the other half of his is in a key-chain form, this one reading, 'Friends'
