The Girl Who Saved My Life

[guest]

I owe someone my life (not literally). When my life was going horrible and everything was stacked against me, I hadn't like drunk anything for quite some time before the incident (like maybe a few hours) and had talked (and I admit, cried - I didn't cry in public though, so it's not like anyone saw me crying or anything) a lot. I was so thirsty, I didn't know what I was going to do in my life.

My education was on the verge of ending and my future which I had planned so carefully for was disappearing (all because some kid decided it would be funny to report me for harassment, despite me being innocent and having witnesses saying I was innocent). However, after about 45 minutes of begging (and lots of crying), and claiming how I was innocent (which two witnesses, one of whom was a teacher, also said I didn't do anything), but he wouldn't listen (he just forced me to sign papers without reading them, which I refused to do since he wouldn't let me read them).

Well, in the main office (after this had all happened), while waiting for my parents to pick me up from school, two girls entered the main office (they were office helpers). I know what your thinking, and yes, they were hot. I was like dying of thirst (not literally), one of the girls had just gotten out a water bottle, and I asked her if I could have a drink (I know, it must sound weird), she said yes, but that it wasn't water, it was Kool Aid. And she gave me her water bottle. Her act of kindness had made me realize that life goes on. That girl saved me and showed me that life still goes on and there is still decency in the world. I don't even know her name, but I am eternally grateful for what she did. I don't know how I could ever possibly repay her.

I think the moral of the story is that being kind, perhaps even if it is such a very small thing that you probably don't think is even important, can mean the world to someone else. I still remember that, a month and a half later, it meant the world to me. Not because I was thirsty, but because that girl had shown a complete stranger (me) such kindness and asked for nothing in return. In other words, she showed me that there was still decency in the world.

About a month ago my best friend and I got into a bit of a fight (not a fist fight, but rather an argument). We kind of said some things we didn't mean and went our separate ways.

|I apologized after the incident (not immediately after, but I think I waited like a day or two, because she was still very upset), for I realized how much I screwed up almost immediately after the argument, but she said she hated me.

She then removed me as a friend on Facebook, wouldn't return my phone calls, removed me as a friend on Xbox Live, removed me as a friend on MySpace, blocked me on Facebook, and got two of our mutual friends to think less of me (which is understandable, since they were there and I was totally out of line).

Just today, a month (give or take a few days) later, she just sent me a friend request on Xbox Live. I just received (and accepted) the friend request about 15 minutes ago, in the middle of playing Resident Evil 5. I don't think she added any text or voice with the request, if so, i didn't see it, because I forgot that you could add those with friend requests (and because my partner needed my help in Resident Evil 5, since we were [spoiler] fighting against Wesker and Jill together [/spoiler]).

She has yet to send me a message (assuming she didn't in the friend request), nor have I contact her. We were arguing over whether or not gay marriage should be legal, she said it should (she has a gay uncle or something, but I didn't know her uncle was gay at the time), and I said it shouldn't be legal. I never really met a gay person (other than that one kid in 2nd hour, but I never talked to him before, primarily because he scares me, because he is gay and he acts [and talks] all gay).

She said I was too closed minded, I even went so far as to saying that gays aren't people, they are things, but then she told me about her uncle, and that's when things got really bad. I was like "fine, I'll be the mature one" and left. That was the end (apart from my apology later on). So, do you think this is a good sign or not (she could have just added me to harass me or something)?
