Howard…
Because of Andrei, I had forgotten about my big brother. I didn’t care if dad wasn’t talking to me or any of my classmates. For the first time, I felt happy. I found a friend from a dating site. I found Andrei.
For months that we knew each other, I never regret ever revealing myself to a guy from a dating site. One time, Andrei asked me to meet him at the tree where we’d met. He said, he’s going to tell me something important and no one had to know.
As soon as the dismissal bell rang, I immediately took off and headed to the tree. When I got there, I saw Andrei sitting on its roots. He was looking at me as I came.
“What’s the matter? What is that something serious that you have to tell it here.”, I asked.
“Howard, I am sorry.”, he said seriously. I could feel the heavy feeling in his voice.
“Sorry for what?”, I asked. Very confused.
