When Sophie walked out to the pond. She went over to the dock and sat down. She stared out at the beautiful sunset. All of the sudden she felt strong hands come on her shoulder. She thought to herself that she knew those hands. It was Will.
Will said, "Hey there, I didn't know you still came here?"
"I don't" she said, "I just thought today I would make a change. Do you still come here?"
He said, "Well I like that change. I usually come here every night. Just to remember and think."
She got up to leave so he could be there, but he stopped her and said, "Wait stay, and keep me company. I always liked your company."
She sat back down. He looked as if he wanted to talk, but he didn't know what to say. And the problem was, neither did she.
Finally he said, "Whatever happened with us? I mean we were best friends for that one summer, but everything fell apart. I know it was mostly my fault. But, why couldn't you ever forgive me?"
She said, "I don't really know. I just felt so hurt from what happened. I mean you made fun of me in front of your friends, just to look cool. Did you really feel as if I was following you around?"
Will turned to her and said, "No, of course not! I don't know why I said it. I was a stupid kid. There I was making fun of the prettiest girl in our school. I don't know what I was thinking."
Sophie looked surprised, "The prettiest?" she asked.
"Oh most defiantly." Will said, "That's what everyone thought."
Sophie looked amazed and said, "I never knew people said that."
Will looked amazed now, "You mean Caleb never told you you're beautiful?"
"Only a couple times, but I thought that was just a sign of pity," she said.
That was a breakthrough for the two of them. After that night they always met at that pond. One night as Sophie was about to leave Will grabbed her hand and said, "Don't leave me. Please."
Sophie replied, "Okay."
She started to get very sleepy. She was trying to keep her head up, but finally she let her head fall on his shoulder. He jumped a bit. Surprised to feel her on him, but if she saw his face at that moment she would know that it was okay.
Sophie thought that she might've made him feel uncomfortable so she pulled her head up, and said, "Sorry."
He pulled her head back onto his shoulder and said, "Shh, put your head back down."
After about fifteen minutes of her sleeping on his shoulder they both decided to go into their houses.
