10/2 rekindling

10/2

i wasn't in school for creative writing today because i left for tennis. but today was a good day. in physics we're doing this lab. i'm in a group with two guys, one of which i've recently become really good friends with, the other of which i haven't talked to much at all this year or last year, but have always wanted to be closer with. i want to talk about the latter (ladder). sophomore year me and him seriously became best friends. originally (as it seems to happen often) while he was asking for advice to get with a friend of mine. we got to the point where we would email back and forth about 20 times a day. literally. i had a folder on my computer of only emails from him. i didn't LIKE him like him (if you know what i mean), but i started to. and i guess he did too. so of course, once being TOGETHER for real became a possibility, the friendship broke up. it sucked. i remember hating it. my friend definitely didn't like him. and i did. we were best friends though. and last year, i MIGHT have had one conversation with him. the whole year. it's weird how things change so fast.
it was great being his partner today. it was so relaxed, and we were laughing and having the same sense of humor as we used to. and i remembered why we used to be friends. so i decided to talk to him online tonight, at first just asking something about said physics lab. but then i started really talking.
"we used to be best friends"
"yeah"
"i liked being in your group today. last year we didn't talk at all."
"yeah that was lame"
"i'm sorry"
"me too"
"can we be friends again? i'm all for the you-me-him lab group in physics."
"sure. that'd be fun."
hopefully that's for real. because i meant it when i said it.
it's senior year. no regrets.
