I miss you.
MS is probably one of the people who I have felt the most connected too. She has been a great friend, although I was never a great friend to her. I wish she never had to leave.
I met her in 5th grade, though she probably doesn't remember this. It was during some orchestra thing where the best of the EE and OE orchestras met and did something together. The only one I knew from OE was KM, who I had been in a show with the previous summer. I didn't form much of an opinion of her then, but EE and OE just did not mix.
Middle School came. Now we were going to the same school, and in a few classes together, including orchestra. She was always someone I could talk to, but we were just friends. Nothing more. Between the musical and orchestra, we had a good time, but no real memories.
High School everything changed for the better. We were seeing each other in multiple classes, and after school at the musical. She was the only person to confront me with the name of my 9th grade crush, which shows she noticed me. Between musical, normal school, and APWH, we formed some great memories.
That summer we saw each other for the last time, though we never said our goodbyes. We saw Chorus Line together, and we talked about her maybe doing PAC. She saw the PAC shows. I don't know what her thoughts are, but I hope she can fly in this summer.
MS, if you are reading this, know that you are not forgotten.

You made me cry, Nick, darling. Actual tears.
ReplyDeleteAnd of course I remember meeting you, darling. I was horribly jealous of your violin skills. Still am.
