Big Tears

It was the first time I saw Nat cry.

We just finished my ‘last’ cell with the TrailBlazers. The following week I’ll be flying to Melbourne for a one-year exchange.

Nat was sitting at one corner with big tears flowing out of her. Some of her friends were trying to comfort her but I didn’t know what went on.

Then her friends started to tell me Nat really liked me and she felt extremely sad because I was leaving. Strangely I never did believed them. Took Nat home that day puzzled.
