If It Doesn't Kill Us It Makes Us Stronger

Chapter 2:  Almost Later

Eventually, time passed, 10 years in-fact. I was now a junior in high-school. I met Isaac in middle school at after school tutoring - we were both awful at math - and bonded ever since.  I sometimes thought of Robyn when I remembered childhood, but for the most part, I just accepted the fact that we would probably never meet again.

Isaac and I related to each other because we were both fairly awkward and introverted. It's a nice feeling to have a best friend.  You both see each other across the classroom during group assignments, nod, and just know you're gonna work together.  That was a feeling I hadn't experienced until meeting Isaac.

 We hung out together all of the time. Isaac's family was pretty well-off, both of his parents were neurosurgeons. I won't lie, that was a nice added benefit of being his friend.  

We would watch television, play video games, and compete against each other in darts. High school had seemed pretty decent so far.  I wonder what I would've done differently if I knew what second semester of junior year had in store for me, Isaac, 

and Robyn.
