"So, how did you survive this time?"
"Oh, I read the mystical creatures book on my lap while making believe that I was writing to make sure she didn't call on me."
"Nice!"
I have just finished my turn in the English teacher's torture chamber and am now heading home, with Bonnie at my side. That wasn't such a big day, compared to any other day at Canterlot high, but I still think it was a productive one. Now to talk about more things with my very best fri-
"Oh wait... I forgot!"She said, turning to me "My dad is coming to pick me up today..."
Instant heartbreak! I didn't know what to do if I wasn't in her company! She was always at my side, laughing with me, crying with me, complaining with me... Stop it, Lyra! You can do this! Whenever I leave, Bonbon never has a breakdown! She always is fine with my decision! Time for me to be fine with her's!
"Alright,"I say, covering my chest so that she doesn't see the two parts of what used to be one heart,"I'll catch you tomorrow, I guess..."
"Don't stay up to late, again..."
There she goes, walking away...far away...towards her dad's car...and I'm still just waving...waving...waving...I can stop waving now.
I put down my arm. I watch as she gets into the car and it drives off. Then, I can finally take the fake smile off of my face. Why, though, can I never stand seeing her go? Is it true friendship or is it something else... Do I...love...No, I can't! My parents, being the traditionalists they are, would kill me if I were to be like that! They already hate me for not getting a boyfriend yet, so I can't imagine what they would say if I said I would prefer a girlfriend. So, it must be true friendship.
I start walking across the courtyard. Nobody's here anymore: just me...alone...me and my thoughts... I guess I could just read my book a bit. My parents work late, so I can walk home when I want to, anyway. But, should I sit on our bench? No, I wouldn't feel right without her! I guess I'll just lean against the statue in the middle of the courtyard. I open my bag, take out my book, open it to the page explaining the science of unicorns and lean against the statue...
Except, there is nothing to lean against. The statue is there, but I don't lean on it. I feel like I'm falling through it, as if it didn't exist! I'm just falling, falling, falling...Then I bump to the ground...and pass out...
