friendship
C.S Lewis got it right: friendship is born when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one!"
Lovers No More (Ch. 5)
I really had no idea of what I was getting into when I signed up for college. I was totally dumbstruck at the notion of the fact that I was no longer in high school. I was now in the big waters of serious business. I was in with the big boys and girls now. If I was going to become a teacher, I needed to get started with and deal with reality and not dreams. I told myself that if I worked really hard and got my Bachelors degree, I could still show up Eddie. I wanted this mainly for myself. The race had begun. All the time, I knew that he was having the time of his life with me not being around. I had that feeling myself. I was happy for most of my last year. Now, it was his turn. I could practically hear him throwing a party all the way from Middle Village. He must have been in seventh Heaven knowing that I wasn’t going to be around for a while. I could only imagine how happy he must have been. He took away my dream before graduation. Now, there was nobody there to rob him of his dream. I was hoping that someone would have done that to him. I was able to live with that concept up until a point.

Lovers No More (Ch. 2)
This was probably the best September start that I have ever had in my entire life. I had one year of high school under my belt and eagerly awaited for the second. This time, the building took on a whole new look. It was as if I were a part of the place. I felt more comfortable and quite secure. The new Maurice was definitely much better than the old one.

Richard Major
Richard Major, he is The Valley’s Most Authentic. When I met him, I had a feeling that he and I were going to click. There was something there immediately, whether I was able to see it in the beginning or not. Rich is straight up about everything: in life, in love, in spirit, in music. Everything is truthful, straightforward, right and justified. I've honestly never met anyone like him. Immediate connections with people are rare; that's why each and every one of us recognize it when we encounter it. It's inevitable, unavoidable, and beautiful.

Kalina Hyde
When I first met Kalina, I hadn't said a word to her and I was already terrified. Mostly because on a scale of one to ten she's like a twenty five and I'm a negative six. She was head guard and had been working at Soak Ya since it opened; so, that made her a million times more important than I'd ever be. And to make matters worse, I was a new guard. (And now that I'm an old guard I understand the rep that comes with the term new guard. Trust me...it's not all that great)

Izzy Barnes
Wild is my favorite word. It encompasses a senseless, lawless freedom that I craved long before I could even breathe. Wild is the waves of the ocean, wild is the stars scattered across an endless night sky. Wild is the primal nature that grows within every human. Wild is insatiable, wild is untamable. Wild is, and will forever be, the greatest gift the world has ever seen.

The Favorite Five
I have a tendency to tell a lot of people that they're my favorite and recently I may have started a war within a group of my friends...whoops. But these five are separate from that situation. They're different. With Noah, Elizha, Paul, Mason and Cameron, it's actually emotionally impossible to choose my favorite out of the five of them. I love each of them equally and separately. Yes, I am aware that that makes no sense. The five of them mean a lot to me. I'm not exactly sure why I'm writing this chapter, everything that's being written has been bothering me for a while, so I had a feeling I'd write it eventually. Each of them has a song attached to their name. It's up there because that's a song I love that reminds me of them.

Noah Miller
You can feel it in your gut when something’s missing. You want to run away from that feeling, because you want to convince yourself that everything’s fine, that you’re fine, and that you have everything you need. I was that girl. I was sure of the fact that my heart was completely intact, and I didn’t need anything else to complete it.

Paul Liriano
I never quite gave this one enough credit. I chased a lot of things in high school—especially people. I had an unexplainable need for certain people to see me. I don’t know why I wanted it. I’m not sure why I needed it, but for some reason, I thought I did. So that’s what I focused on. I did everything in my power to get what I thought I wanted, and in time, I began to miss what was right in front of me.

Carly Steinbacher
I had to take your entire chapter and write it all over again. When I composed the rough draft, I had no idea that you would mean as much to me as you do now. You are not a safe place or a sheltered space to hide away in. You are the only solid ground I can stand on. Without you, anything that makes me who I am would cease to exist.

One Tree Hill is a show that quite literally changed the game for me. I started applying every line to every aspect of my life. I found a piece of myself in every character, every story line. There are days where I’ll finish the series and start it all over again.
