The Day in the Life of Me: Deserve Better


Sure,” I told him and off we went.

We walked a couple of steps in silence. Thoughts of Tim flooded my head again. I hate it when you try to get someone out of your head but you end up thinking about that someone. James snapped me back.

“Well Lily. I know it’s none of my business, but I know your crying about something.”

It was then that I noticed that once again I was crying. I don’t usually cry, so it kind of embarrassed me.

“Well… This guy… he…,” I got angry at myself once again for stuttering.

“You don’t have to say anymore. Who ever he is, you deserve better.”

“Thanks.”

I was surprised that a guy I just met was trying to help make me feel better. I wiped my eyes again and changed the subject.

“So uh, where is first class at?”
“Physics with Stansky,” he said. I couldn’t have picked a better day to run into someone.
“That is my first class.”
“Really? Sweet.”

I smiled a bit.
