Kyle's POV

I opened my eyes and got blinded by a very bright light. I got up and rubbed my eyes. I looked around and saw the school nurse.

- How you feeling? - she asked.

- Fine, I guess... What happened? - I asked confused.

- Well, apparently you passed out in class. I'm not really sure why. I was hoping for you to wake up so I could ask you a few questions and try to understand what cause this. Is it alright?

- Yeah, sure.

- So, have you been eating properly? Did you take your breakfast this morning? - she asked grabbing a notebook and a pen.

- Yes. - I answered and she wrote something down.

She asked a few more questions that I answered so quickly I could barely process them all. At the end she looked down at her notes and then looked up at me.

- I'm really can't tell what made you pass out, Kyle... But, what matters is that you're alright now. You can go back to your classes, and, if you feel a little dizzy come here right away, ok?

I nodded and left. I heard the bell ring, probably was break time, just not sure which one. I walked to class and found everyone leaving the room. Everyone passed me by, even Jeydon... What a friend man. I was about to turn around and make my way outside when I felt a little tap on my shoulder. I turned around and saw Johnnie.

- Hey. - he said, nervous I suppose.

- Hm. Hey... What do you want? - I asked.

- Just, you know. Checking if you're alright.

- Why do you even care? - I said annoyed.

He stood silent for a moment.

- You know what? Fuck you. I'm here just trying to be nice and you treat me like shit. Why are you like this? - he snapped.

- Hey, it's just that

- It's nothing. Just forget it. - he sighed and turned around.

He walked away while I froze in place. He stood up for himself... I was absolutely speechless. Every fiber in my being shook and made me run to him.

I stopped him and turned him to me.

- Sorry. - I said very truthfully.

- Yeah, sure... - he answered.

- No, I'm serious. I'm truly sorry. For everything, you know.

I felt my heart dropping in that exact moment. I apologized for something I did, maybe for the first time in my life. It felt weird, kinda like a huge weight got lifted from my chest.

- How can I make it up for you? - I asked.

- There's really nothing you can do. - he answered never looking me in the eyes.

- You think we could, you know.... Start over? - I asked nervous.

He looked at me with a surprised look on his face. I don't think we expected me to apologize and actually mean it. After a while he smiled. I smiled also.

I took my right hand from my pocket and shook his hand.

- Hi, I'm Kyle. - I said.

- Hi Kyle, I'm Johnnie. - he answered.

We both smiled and walked away together.

Johnnie's POV

I got out of class still worried about Kyle and shook by the way Jeydon treated me.

I walked out when I saw Kyle. I tapped him in the shoulder and he turned around.

- Hey. - I said nervous.

- Hm. Hey... What do you want? - he asked not really interested.

- Just, you know. Checking if you're alright. - I answered shaking every bone of my body.

- Why do you even care? - He said annoyed and in an arrogant tone of voice.

I stood silent for a moment. Why was I being nice to him when all he did was treat me like pure garbage. Was did I care about him? Why did I like him?

- You know what? Fuck you. I'm here just trying to be nice and you treat me like shit. Why are you like this? - I finally snapped.

- Hey, it's just that

- It's nothing. Just forget it. - I sighed.

I turned around and walked in the opposite direction. I'm tired of people treating me this way. I needed to have some self respect for once in my life and not let others step over me.

Someone grabbed my shoulder making me stop. I turned around and saw Kyle, which made me even angrier.

- Sorry. - he said.

- Yeah, sure... - I answered not believing at all.

- No, I'm serious. I'm truly sorry. For everything, you know.

I looked in every direction expect him, trying to understand if he was just making fun of me. Should I believe in this after all he did? Of course not! But... What of he finally understood all the bad things he did?

- How can I make it up for you? - he asked.

- There's really nothing you can do. - I answered still not looking him in the eyes.

- You think we could, you know.... Start over? - he asked, nervous I think.

I finally looked at him. I was surprised he even wanted to make it up for me, even if there's was still the possibility of all of that being fake. I decided to give it a shot. How could it be worse, right? I smiled and he smiled back seconds later.

He took his right hand from his pocket and he shook my hand.

- Hi, I'm Kyle. - he said.

- Hi Kyle, I'm Johnnie. - I answered.

We both smiled and walked away together.
