Let me tell you a story about how a person has made life worthwhile. This story is about how my life started with a simple person. This story is about how my fear came unexpectedly. This story is how my life ended, how I died.

It all started when I was in my senior year in high school. I just had my car as a gift from my parents and I decided to take it for a drive. The first person I thought of bringing along was Bella, my best friend. I’ve known her since we were young but it was just this high school that we became close. I felt so comfortable with her and I always found her company enjoyable.

It was in the later part of our friendship that I realized this was no ordinary friendship.

It was more than that, it was somewhat special.

This scared me. I knew she felt the same way but I felt it was better to stay as just friends.

As time passed, cruising became a habit for us. Life was so nice with her around.

Until one day, I met Tanya. She was a new student who caught everyone’s attention with her fair complexion and long hair that complemented her hazel eyes.

Despite the fact that every guy in school would turn around just to stare at her pretty face, she had her eyes set on me.

That was quite flattering, I thought. And so I decided to ask her to the upcoming Halloween party that would be held in school.

She said yes.

“What about me? Who will take me to the party?” Bella suddenly asked.

“Don’t worry, you can ride with me. I’ll meet her at the party, anyway,” I answered as I pointed to my head, “I’ve got it all figured out, huh?!”

“Whaaat?! Figured out?”

“Yeah, I’m a genius. Uh-huh! Come on, dance with me.” I started to dance comically.

She looked at me in disgust. “Well, if you’re such a genius, try to figure out what I’ll do the whole time you’re dancing your heart out with Tanya. You know I can’t dance, and you’re the only one who can help me not embarrass myself.” My silence made her continue. “And you’re supposed to be my best friend? Thanks a lot.” She started to walk away.
