It's true what people say, that you don't really talk to the people you went to school with once you graduate.
You and Jasper used to be best friends in elementary school. You two were like two peas in a pod. You would protect him from being bullied for being a "nerd." You didn't care what people thought, that you were hanging out with the nerd. That you were even friends with him. You were with him through elementary school and middle school.
Then...highschool came. You got...what was known as a glow up over the summer. Suddenly, everyone wanted you because you were pretty. You even became popular. The popular girls would want you to sit with them, but you always chose to sit with Jasper. You were a nerd at heart too, but like, a fandom, media, kind of nerd. You liked nerdy shows and would geek out about stuff.
As you got more and more attention and really paid attention to what people said, what was popular and what wasn't, finding out that shows you loved were considered stupid, trashy, childish, dumb, nerdy... You soon stopped watching them...stopped talking about stuff that made your eyes sparkle. You wore makeup now, trendy clothes and...even left Jasper in the dust. You never spoke to him anymore. Even though he tried really hard to get your attention. You were all he had...all he wanted...he...he loved you.
The nail was even more put in the coffin when senior year came, and you, 1. Started dating some jacked guy on the football team. And 2. ...started using drugs.
You had been pressured into doing it, and now, you were utterly addicted. Which then caused you to become someone completely different. Jasper was still trying to talk to you...to help you...
He found out about a party happening one day at one of the rich kids' houses. He knew you'd be there...he counted on it. He really changed his appearance. He wore contacts for the first time, put in his cross earrings that he was surprised hadn't close up. He had gotten them when he was a baby by his parents. Then he put in his lip piercing. He was a completely different guy, at least looked like a different guy. He wore ripped jeans and a rock band t shirt he took from his father.
He snuck out that night to go to the party. When he got there, no one knew who he was. He was even getting hit on by some girls... He only came for one person though... And he found her... Getting high and sitting in some guys lap while he kissed her neck.
