"I hate you!" She screamed. "I can't believe you lied about something as important as that!" It was three o'clock in the morning. The summer of their thirteenth year. They were being total cliches and arguing outside as a light rain dusted them. Dani had made Myles meet her at the stop sign, so she could talk to him.

"Would you have believed me if I told you?" He asked her.

"I just-you just-uuuuuuugh!"

"Look, Dani, I'm sorry I didn't tell you!"

"Sorry? Sorry? Sorry won't change the fact that you doctored that essay!"

"Well, I knew you wanted to get into that writing camp-"

"With my own ability! Now I will never know if I was good enough to get in by myself!"

"Dani-"

"Save it, Myles. I'm going home." She turned, and began to run.

"Dani, wait!" But she continued to run, leaving Myles alone in the rain.

Dani was laying in bed, staring at the ceiling. She would read, but that would remind her of Myles. She would draw, but that would remind her of Beckett, the one who had taught her to draw, which in turn would remind her of Myles. She would write, but . . . Well, you get the had a big hollow ache inside her chest. She felt like she was missing a huge, crucial part of herself.

Okay, yes he changed the essay. But he did it for a good reason. He had good intentions at least.

But he lied to you!

But he's my best friend. Do I really want to wreck that over this?

He thought you weren't going to get into that camp.

No, he didn't. He just wanted to make sure because he knew how much I wanted it.

"This is ridiculous. . ." She muttered. Getting up, she opened the curtains to her window. Myles was standing there. He was holding a piece of paper.

'Please forgive me, Dani' was written on it. She laughed, and picked up my drawing pad.

'You are a total cliche'

'Look who's talking!' Laughing, I opened my window. Myles opened his as well.

"I swear, Myles. Will I ever be able to stay mad at you?" He rolled his eyes.

"I know you like stuff like that. So, am I forgiven?" I pretended to think.

"Hmmmm . . . Oh, all right." And we were best friends again, just like that.
