Praying for Time

by Jasmine Ashley

ShortStory: General Fiction

I had no idea that two months, sixty-one days, eight Saturdays, would change my life forever.

I had just turned fourteen years old when I first met you. You were fifteen, already in the world of high school, already leagues apart from me. We were instantly enemies. Every Saturday we would see each other and play juvenile pranks on each other. It was frivolous and fun, and I never wanted anything to change...but it did. In those two months I found you, and I lost you. In eight Saturdays I learned how to be a friend.
