• It started with a folder.

    A simple little yellow folder that was yet to be written on, until today when she was in her biology class for the 3rd day since school started.

    She sat in the back row along with her buddy and soon to be buddy.

    “…and so the lowest level in the food chain…”

    She zoned out the teacher but continued to stare at the board until she saw shifting next to her.

    “What are you doing?”

    She turned around and saw the boy scribble something on her folder.

    “Hi” was all it said.

    She stared at him, he smiled, she attempted a smile, and turned back to the board.

    And then she felt something touching her.

    He’s playing with my hair…?

    She pretended not to care and enjoyed the bizarre behavior coming from the boy.

    Ever since then, they’ve become buddies.
