Chapter 3

Theodore Miller

Every tiny step I took in this hallway made me increasingly nervous, he would surely be standing in his pedestal as if he a kind and respectful guy. Well even if he wasn't people would still kiss his *** just the same.

He surely would have forgetten the nonsense he told me the night before he left, as if he never came to my bedroom that night through the balcony so drunk he could easily have fallen out of the building.

And even if he was out of himself, to be sincere those words hurt more than any broken bone, the memories I fought all my life.

And suddenly he was gone, without an apology or saying goodbye, that carefree guy could hurt me in such a serious tone.

What does he know about my life? My life isn't a frigging TV show or a thriller movie, he doesn't know that his drunken words gave me nightmares every single night after that.

Even if he is a idiot, even if he picked on me from morning to noon in the end he would bring me my favorite brand of caramel and as if he didn't care he would apologize.

I won't ever forget any of this, that demon made us suffer and worry without contacting us for almost a year, do you know how much is a year away from someone you cherish?

Besides all that he hurt Lily pretty badly and even if he was still our friend I couldn't bear to see her again with him. That was something I would make him remember for the rest of his pathetic life.

One minute left before class 12 B was freed from the classroom, I stood outside while their math teacher screamed some incomprehensible terms. As I anxiously waited the bell rang piercing my precious ears.

Yesterday I was feeling conflicted whether my feeling from the past were the same or if I missed Theodore Miller my stupid childhood friend.

However, my feelings became clear as I waited to see him after so much time, he was somehow important to me and I knew he was also important to Lily and Leon.

I became anxious to see his face, I realized I could kick him in strategic places so he would cry and realize what he did was something extremely rude and idiotic even for him. That was the only way he could feel as bad as we felt.

A sea of people emerged from all around. Soon Theodore stood proud in front of me, his eyes calm as always that only made me want to mess with his peace of mind.

"Pipsqueak..." he spotted me in the crowd leaning against a cold wall and he smiled as he saw me. "I see you didn't grow a inch" I expected nonetheless from Theodore Miller.

We were professional troublemakers, whanever I heard a "no" from him we would fight like real siblings. And because of that bond he also knew my weaknesses but no matter what happened in my life I refused to be a frail girl. I heard somewhere a phrase "If you get tangled up, just tango on" that's something I pretty much apply to all my life.

"I'm glad I'm this small imagine the damage I would've have done to your nose when you were in freshman year if I was stronger!" I looked in his eyes proudly because I knew his friends would be listening as I was pretty much screaming, I also knew he told he got into a fight to his friends. What they didn't know was that the big man who broke his nose was me this so called "pipsqueak".

Lilian arrived exactly in that crucial moment, even if her naive nature made her seem ditzy she probably spent this extra minutes in class talking with her teacher about some minor detail in a page long equation.

Theo stared at me with a shocked face and he turned his head to Lily as she looked extremely confused at the entire situation.

"Umm. Did I miss something right now?"

Lily asked looking back and forth to me and Theodore. Theodore recovered pretty fast from the blow and put on a mischeveous smile.

"Little Harriet was saying how much she missed me, that honestly got me so emotional that I became speechless." He turned the game pretty fast but I wouldn't stand still, until he apologizes I will fight and embarrass him all I want.

"How cute of y-" Lily flicked both of our foreheads and stared at my soul, I'm sure that Theodore was as scared as me. When she got like this she was capable of anything like a bulldozer breaking trough and she still would maintain her perfectly arranged bangs.

"Enough both of you, it's so annoying to see when you two fighting after all this time! " With a gentle hand movement she pointed to the cafeteria. Her usual sweet smile looked terrifying in my eyes

And just like that, almost whitout noticing me and Theodore were already on our way.
