Chapter 1


Man, I wish I brought a jacket I thought to myself.

It’s so cold and it’s raining so hard maybe I can call an Uber?

I check my phone in a desperate attempt to try and catch an Uber, but my bank statement says otherwise.

Well, it seems as if I’m going to be walking home today....in the pouring rain.

Why does this always happen to me? Almost as soon as I said that my neighbor Mark approached me. Want a ride? he asked.

We made eye contact for a minute, and as I stared into his ocean-blue eyes something went off in my head. this is going to be my best friend from now on. I wanted to know so much more about him. I remember we used to know each other at some point.

I was so happy back then, I wonder what caused me to want to run away from the place i felt the safest at. Now i sleep alone with no friends. I hoped everything would change if we became aqquainted again. I wondered if he remembered me. Although. I hope he dosen't
