Poke.

Po-

"Could you please stop that? I'm trying to concentrate in science class." I asked Lisa with fake kindness in my tone, watching her arm retract with her favourite pencil in her hand. 

"Sorry, I just didn't know how to get your attention," She grumbled to herself angrily. "But anywho, it worked. But seriously, you need to stop treating me like a baby! I don't know what came over me and I didn't mean to...kiss him... again. I know you are trying to protect me as you have always done but I'm not a little kid anymore. It's my  decision that I kissed him, not yours." She exploded, her cheeks reddening slightly. 

I had not expected her to say that. Not at all. Of course, like any best friends we fight but it's never serious. She has never expressed her feelings like that, she's always polite, soft spoken. I'm the bitchy one, the one who is stoic, the one who doesn't have a care in the world. Her words felt like knives cutting my heart. 

"I was only trying to protect you," I whisper hotly, trying not to make a scene.

"Well, it's my decision and it affects me!"  She shot back,  looking at me with hatred in her eyes. 

God. Anything but that look.

"Please don't look at me like that, I can't bare to have anyone else look at me with that emotion," I  say shakily, my anger disappearing from before. 

"I don't hate you Camry, it's just that...it seems like you cage me too much, and sometimes I need to go outside. To feel the storm, the sunshine, the hail stones with the potential to kill. I need to experience it Camry, and being human is all about experiences. What's the use of dying without doing a single thing out of your comfort zone in your life? It's practically a waste. Just let me have experiences, okay? I'll still be your best friend even if I go out with Seth. I'll be your best friend no matter what, but you need to be my friend too. You need to respect my decisions and be there for me when I stuff up. Not shut me out." She tells me politely but firmly, fidgeting in her seat waiting for my reaction. 

"Okay..." I agree softly feeling tears prickle my eyes, wondering if what she said was the truth. 

"I love you Camry, just let me be a person, not a bird."

"Love you too Lisa. And I'll try, I swear I'll try, even though I might fail at first; I promise you I will try to be a better friend."

And just like that, we were best friends again.

"Soooooo, how was the sticky note?"

Crap. I had totally forgotten about that encounter.
