After the funeral, Trishan was really torn up. She cried her eyes out and poured out all her heart to me. The only think I could do was comfort her and bawl too.

I kept her from committing suicide. She was screaming for Two-bit's blade, he wouldn't give it. I couldn't stand it so I stepped into the middle. Looked into her eyes, keep her hand from taking it from his pocket, and say," Don't do it, it'll hurt him to see you die like this." She just looked at me and fell into my arms crying.

Dally wasn't seen for a while. I guess he went over to Windrixville and stared pushing or buying. I guess the fuzz caught him for that.

I think my feelings have changed towards her. I just don't know what they've changed into. I just feel different around her. Not " be nice to the dead boy's girl." Just different. I don't know what it is and its just killing me.

" I know your pretty torn up. But not that much to commit suicide. Why?" I asked.

" It was my fault he died," she said almost in tears," and he said it wouldn't hurt." And she began bawling and fell into my arms. " its ok.its ok." I kept saying.

She suddenly looked up at me," thanks.Soda"

"For what?" I asked surprisingly.

"for always being here for me."

I looked straight into her eyes. I couldn't resist them, but all I could do was hug her. So I did.

"I'm sorry for all of this bawling," she said wiping her eyes on her arm.

" its okay. I've felt this feeling not too long ago." I replied thinking about Sandy," c'mon, I'll take you for a walk."

We went to the park together. Walking together all huddled up. One arm over her shoulder. It felt nice but I couldn't do anything.yet. And that was killing me. I was practically dead.

"how's you and Sandy?" her voice broke into my heavy thought.

"what?"

"you and Sandy. How are you doing with her?"

"oh. Ok.I guess. Haven't heard from her in a while."

"Sorry about that. I didn't know."

"its okay. My feelings for her just.faded away."

I was speaking my heart. I haven't felt anything for Sandy for a while. And that was the truth.

"i..um. OH GLORY, SODA! Why do you have to be so cute?" she asked outta the blue.

"what?" I asked taking my arm off her shoulders and facing her.

" you make me all nervous because your cute." she said.

I turned red. "oh, Glory! I never saw you turn red before." She said.

"because I never have." I said quietly.

That was the truth. I never had. As many times they have told me I'm cute, I never turned red.

I returned to my position and we kept walking. Keeping quiet even though I felt myself turn redder and redder by the second. She suddenly stopped and looked at me.

"what?" I asked.

I got no reply. She was studying me, my expression, my color. And then, she gave me a light kiss. Not a friendly kiss. Just something else I couldn't explain. And it was right on my lips.

She suddenly started walking again. Moving away from our special spot. I just stood there, stunned. I came back to my senses and ran after her.

When I reached her, I saw she was bright red.

" what was that for?" I asked her, almost back to my natural color.
