Danica

The moment those stinging words slipped out of my mouth, I earned a heavy slap from her. I stood there frozen with a hand placed over my sore cheek; and before I knew it…she was gone.

Great, I thought. She hates me now.

I regretted saying it. On the contrary, I hated saying everything. More than anything, I knew that those words were just blurted out of anger. I guess it was a huge mistake for not being able to hold back. It was wrong of me to do that. Because of my own foolishness, I lost my friend—my only friend.

The way she glared at me was horrifying. Her eyes were full of scorn and resentment. With the way she looked at me, I can clearly see how much she despised me; and she despised me—a lot.

Our recent fight kept replaying again and again in my head and I felt my knees go weak. Before I knew it, I abruptly fell on my knees and sat on the ground. I felt my eyes water…and eventually tears were sliding down my cheeks. I cried.
