The bell rang and I leapt to my feet, eager to get to lunch. It really sucked having the last lunch of the day. Not that I wanted to go to A lunch either. That was just too early. I preferred either B or C lunch. But for this semester I was stuck with D lunch. It really wasn’t all that bad. I got to eat with the Russian Bear after all.
The Russian Bear walked beside me as we made our way from the back hall to the lunch room. It was a long walk, but I didn’t really mind all that much.
Suddenly, he asked me a question I hadn’t been expecting.
“Do you like me?”
Without thinking I started laughing. “Oh, thanks for that. I needed a good laugh. I like you as a friend. I’m really not interested in anyone anyway.”
He forced a smile, trying to shrug off my unintentionally cruel response. “Right. I should’ve guessed as much.”
The rest of the lunch period passed without further incident. I wouldn’t realize until much later just how cruel I had been to the Russian Bear that day. First I had to gain the maturity I lacked at the time and reflect on my actions. I cannot say I regret my honesty, but I still regret my cruelty. I should have treated him better. I regret that I did not see that until he was gone.

Yes, this actually happened. I can't remember the exact words now, but a good friend of mine did ask me if I liked him (twice actually). I didn't think anything of it at the time and laughed it off as I joke (I know, I'm a terrible person ). I'm afraid I was both careless and clueless at 15. Oh, and later I decided to divulge one of my deepest darkest secrets to him later because I considered him such a good friend. Luckily I didn't have many such opportunities to stomp on a boy's feelings. It just kind of hurts knowing I did that to someone I honestly cared about. So, um, Russian Bear, if you ever read this, I'm really sorry for how I treated you. You deserved better.
