The waves crashed against the sand shore.
Funny because my name is Shore.
I sat on the rustic Silence Mountain far above the water. Lela and me would almost always come up here for the tranquility. This time, Lela was sick. I'd like to think that, that she's just simply sick. No.
Lela passed away seven years ago. Again, I'd like to think that. Lela was murdered.
My eye caught a seagull flying by shore. I sat high up on the mountain, High enough I could fall.
Sometimes I hesitate when I come up here. Since I was dreadfully reminded of when we promised we'd come up here until the day we died. Together. Although I made a new Friend. I'll never forget, I never take Nancy up here like me and Lela did. I will try not to break that promise.

Sunday November 6th 2003

Nancy continuously tugged my arm.  "Shore!"
I sighed and turned to her. Nancy not much smaller then me, she was about two inches smaller.
She's not the perfect friend but she's all I have. Today was our first day at private school. All girls.. Sadly. "Yes?" I grumbled Annoyed. She smiled at me. She did have a beautiful smile, But that was her mask. The real her was devious and witty, she acted Kind and stupid to get friends. I don't mind her real side, I actually prefer her real side. She loosened her grip on my arm and held both my hands as she swayed back and forth. "Soooo....When are you going to tell me?" she said with a fake smile.
I once again sighed and pulled my hands away. I promised her I would tell her a secret of mine if she stopped annoying me yesterday. I thought of which secret to tell her but all too many are precious.
I pulled my black hair back into a pony tail with the elastic on my wrist. Nancy had blonde hair.
For a second I thought "Dumb Blonde" But then I recalled that was just her act. She's goes so far as to get bad grades on purpose. She helps me with my homework yet she fails. Kind of weird right?
"I'm not going to tell you" I shot rudely. For a second I felt bad but then I thought "Why would I give her something so she will end pestering me. She started to pout, then cry. I didn't really care considering it was her act but then everyone started staring at me like I did something wrong. Like I said.. She's all I got. I bent over, patted her on the back then whispered into her ear "Fine.. Met me after school". She gave me a devious smile that somehow seemed to hide from everyone's sight.
I felt a sharp pain in my throat. Which should I tell her? Can I tell her? I mean.. I did just tell her again I would and everyone was there for evidence. I sighed and finally made up my mind to place trust in her. The day felt so much longer after that. French felt more boring then ever considering it felt longer. In music I feel asleep and I'm probably going to fail the test. How can you fall asleep in music?? That just proves how stressed I was. Near the end of the day, the last class. I thought something I shouldn't have. I thought of telling her about Lela.. No, I couldn't.
But would it do that much damage?? I mean.. it's just a deceased friends. I began to get angry with myself and kicked my chair back and sat out of my seat breathing hard. No I could never.
But should I? I thought. She's my friend. I can trust her, Or is she my friend? She does manipulate me all the time but again.. She's all I have. I finally decided to tell her about Lela.
I realized everyone was then staring at me. The teacher motioned for me to sit down and I did as the teacher said embarrassed. At the end of class I plopped my books into my bag and headed out quickly trying to avoid Nancy. I raced down the hall finding myself to run. I started Sweating. Maybe I was thinking about it a little too much. I finally opened the exit door. "Ah Finally I'm free" I thought
I began to walk out until I found Nancy walk in front of me. "Looking for me?" She teased.
My heart dropped "Shit" I thought. I dropped by bag from shock. "Um.. Yea"
I lied. For a second I felt lonely in this world as if my friend just betrayed me. But she didn't, She just wanted to know what I stupidly promised to tell her. I felt better, then felt worse about how I should of let her fakely bawl until her eyes bleed. I got stressed. I grabbed her arm and pulled her into the corner of the school. "Fine you want to know?" I whispered Crazily. Nancy nodded, then swatted my hand away.
