Jamilex and I were really close‚ we did everything together; our homework‚ went to the movies‚ hung out in the park‚ and often went her house where we had conversations about guys. We tried to spend time together as often as possible‚ because we didn’t see each other during school hours since she attended a different junior High school. We saw each other every day after school to do homework together. I never thought I would finally
