The bell rang like a soundtrack for the students. making their way to their next class. Mix into the packed hallway was one of the students, Henry , had other plans. He dropped out of group he was walking with, which included his sister, and moved toward Emma , who was with her own friends. He grabbed Emma's hand,and he pulled her aside.

"Emma is everything okay? I saw you and Jonah arguing.",said Henry

"Everything is fine, Henry, don't worry. It is the first day of school. You shouldn't worry about me yet.",said Emma.

"I know, but, Emma, I'm still your best friend.",said Henry.

Emma stared hard at him.

"I'm not sure Henry, after you did last summer, I don't see you as my friend.",said Emma.

"I know! It was a mistake! You're like a sister to me, after all."pleaded Henry.

"It was not a mistake. Henry, I know what you were doing.",said Emma.

"Listen Emma, whatever happened, I'm sorry.",said Henry.

Emma stared at Henry for a little. She was looking into that familiar face, remembering the years of play dates, family get- together, long talks. It wasnt until Emma heard one of her friends call her "Emma!"

"Coming!",shouted Emma.

She quickly turned around to run over to her friends while as Henry watched her go.
