What we thought would last

Nakime and Kori met in their junior year of high school. They were both in the same English class and were assigned to be partners for a project. Kori remembers how shy Nakime was when they first met. She barely spoke and always kept her head down. It wasn't until they started working on the project that Kori realized how intelligent and creative Nakime was.

Kori: "Wow, you're good at this. How did you come up with that idea?"

Nakime: "I just thought it would be cool to do something a little different. I'm glad you like it!"

As they spent more time together, Kori and Nakime started to become close friends. They would sit together at lunch and talk about everything from schoolwork to their favorite TV shows. Kori loved how easy it was to talk to Nakime and how much she made her laugh.

Kori: "You know, I've never really talked to anyone about this before, but I didn’t have the best past. That is why I always ask you to come here instead of my house.

Kori told her everything about her harsh past.

Nakime: "Oh my gosh! Are you OK?

Kori: "Yes! I am completely fine!

They talked the rest of the night and forgot to study.

One day, Nakime invited Kori over to her house again to (ACTUALLY) study. Kori was excited to get to know Nakime better outside of school. When she arrived, Nakime's parents greeted her warmly and showed her to Nakime's room. The room was decorated with posters of bands and books that Kori loved too. They spent the afternoon studying and laughing together. Kori remembers feeling so comfortable and happy around Nakime.

Nakime: "Do you want a snack? My mom made these amazing cookies."

Kori: "Yes, please! Your mom is such a good cook."

Over the next few months, Kori and Nakime grew closer and closer. They started hanging out outside of school and would text each other late into the night. Kori remembers how much she looked forward to seeing Nakime every day at school.

Nakime: "Hey, do you want to come over this weekend and watch some movies?"

Kori: "Absolutely! I'll bring some snacks."

One day, Nakime started to feel sick. At first, it was just a cold and she stayed home from school for a few

days. Kori missed her friend and would text her to see how she was feeling. Nakime would always respond with an update on her health and a joke to make Kori laugh.

Kori: "Hey, how are you feeling today?"

Nakime: "I'm feeling a little better, thanks. I just watched this hilarious video of a cat playing the piano. You have to see it."

But after a week, Nakime's health took a turn for the worse. She was admitted to the hospital and Kori was devastated. She spent every moment she could at the hospital with Nakime. They would watch movies, play games, and talk about their dreams for the future. Kori remembers how much she admired Nakime's optimism and strength during this difficult time.

Nakime: "You know, I've been thinking a lot about what I want to do with my life. I want to be a writer. I want to write stories that make people feel something."

Kori: "That's amazing, Nakime. I know you can do it."

As the weeks went on, Nakime's condition worsened. Kori was heartbroken to see her friend in so much pain. She would hold Nakime's hand and tell her how much she loved her. Nakime would always smile and tell Kori how much she loved her too.

Nakime: "Thank you for being here with me, Kori. You're my best friend."

Kori: "You're my best friend too, Nakime. I love you so much."

One day, Nakime's parents pulled Kori aside and told her that Nakime didn't have much time left. Kori was devastated. She spent the rest of the day by Nakime's side, holding her hand and crying. Nakime told Kori not to be sad, and that she was at peace with what was happening. Kori remembers feeling so grateful for the time she had with Nakime and so devastated that it was coming to an end.

Nakime: "Promise me something, Kori."

Kori: "Anything."

Nakime: "Promise me that you'll keep writing. I want to read your stories someday."

Kori: "I promise, Nakime. I'll keep writing for you."

The next day, Nakime passed away. Kori was inconsolable. She couldn't believe that her best friend was gone. She spent days crying and feeling lost without Nakime.

But slowly, Kori started to remember the happy times she had with Nakime. She thought about all the times they laughed t

ogether, all the secrets they shared, and all the dreams they talked about. Kori realized that even though Nakime was gone, she would always be a part of her life. She would always remember the love they shared and the memories they made.

Kori graduated from high school and went on to college. She made new friends and had new experiences, but she never forgot about Nakime. She would always think about her friend and the impact she had on her life.

Years later, Kori became a teacher. She loved her job and loved the students she worked with. One day, a student came up to her after class and told her that she reminded him of his favorite teacher from high school. Kori smiled and asked who that was. The student replied, "Nakime." Kori felt a wave of emotion wash over her. She realized that even though Nakime was gone, her legacy lived on through the people she touched. Kori felt grateful to have known Nakime and to have been loved by her. She knew that Nakime would always be a part of her heart.

The end.

So pretty, it hurts

It was a sunny day in August when Lucia met Norma for the first time. They were both 17, and they had just started their senior year of high school. Lucia was dating Brad, Norma's younger brother, and they had been together for a few months.

Lucia was sitting in the living room of Brad's house, waiting for him to come back from his soccer practice. Norma walked in, and Lucia couldn't help but notice how pretty she was. She had brown hair and hazel eyes, and she was wearing a vintage dress that suited her perfectly.

"Hey, Lucia," Norma said, smiling warmly at her. "How are you doing?"

"I'm good," Lucia replied, trying to hide her nervousness. "Just waiting for Brad to come back."

"Oh, okay. Do you want something to drink?"

"Sure, thanks."

Norma went to the kitchen to get Lucia a glass of water, and Lucia couldn't help but admire her from afar. She had always been attracted to girls, but she had never acted on it before. She had never been in a relationship with a girl, and she didn't know how to approach Norma without making things awkward.
