Agh, short chapter. Sorry guys, I had to get this one done with to move on.
From where I sat at one side of the field I could see Drake, my Mawile friend, now gone. I smiled to myself. I remember I used to love him. I still do. But I guess he just doesn't love me back. I don't see how he could. But after almost six months I was finally okay with that.
My best friend Mercedes looked quizically at me. "Raquel, you've been all depressed about Drake for almost 6 months. What made you change you're mind?" She asked, confused. For the past half a year I had been in a horrible mood and had been bringing everyone around me down. But I'd been thinking, and finally I was better. I shrugged, the smile still on my face.
"I got over it." I told her. Many people thought I was an idiot and didn't think to much or to hard, but I just ignored them. Truth is, I had thought about my situation long and hard. When Drake had stopped talking to me I'd felt horrible, and I thought about it, and now I was over it. It was as simple as that.
Mercedes didn't look like she believed me, but she just shrugged and laid down, closing her eyes. "Whatever." She said. I shrugged and walked over to where Drake and a couple of my other friends were.
"Hey guys." I said, sitting down by my friend Margarita. She looked over and smiled.
"Hey Raquel. You seem happier." She commented. I smiled and nodded.
"Actually, I am, no thanks to someone." I told her, referring to a… problem we had had a few months ago. I'd actually rather not mention it. My friend Pablo came up behind me, grabbing the mouth on the back of my head and pulling. It bit him. "Y'know Pablo, I'd think that you would actually figure out that they bite after being a Mawile and having done that so many times." I commented. He shrugged as he sucked on his slightly bloodied hand.
"Who says I haven't learned yet?" he said, pulling his hand out of his mouth. He walked over and sat by Drake. Well, actually more like pushed Drake out of the circle to take his spot. Drake laughed.
"Hey!" he laughed, failing in trying to move the persistent Mawile. Sighing, he came over and sat by me. "Hey Raquel. Haven't talked to you in a while." He said. I smiled. No you haven't. I thought.
"Nope." I told him simply, happy simply to be talking to him. I got a hollow feeling in my stomach. So much for breaking away from him… I thought to myself.
