When Freya was in High School, there was this one spot in the hallway - right in front of some lockers - where she would always meet up with her three best friends during the breaks. Thomas, Susan, Chris and she. They were always found together. Just standing there. Talking with each other. Laughing and sometimes crying. They shared everything with each other.
Of course the teachers hated it that they stood there each time between the classes. And they never once failed to show it or tell them to go downstairs to the court. Sometimes they listened. Sometimes they just pretended to. The teachers often threatened with detention. But they never once got it.
There was one time however, they just barely escaped detention for hanging around in the hallway. And it was only because of the principal that they didn't get it. He was just searching for one of her friends and told them how nice and easy it was that they were always at the same place, so everyone always knew where to find them. Of course the teacher standing near didn't dare to argue and left, the detention she just gave them already forgotten. No one of the teachers ever said anything about them standing in the hallway after that. Freya still remembers the look of mischief on the principal's face when he winked at them when he walked away.
During her fourth year in High School, she lost one of her best friends - Thomas - to a car-accident. It changed everything. It was the end of her life. The end of life how she knew it. Her friends stayed. She was grateful she still had them. But a big part of her suddenly was missing. Her brother. Her best friend. She loved him. They had known each other since they were four. And the longest they had been apart, were the two weeks every summer holiday they were away with their parents.
She was so beaten by his sudden death, so broken, that she almost gave up on everything. She stopped going to ju-jitsu training. She neglected school and exams. For a while she even shut out Chris and Susan. But they never left. They never abandoned her.
It took her almost a year to get her life back on track. And another couple of months before Chris could finally convince her to come back to ju-jitsu training. Most of the members of the club were still there. And there were some new faces as well. The first couple of trainings she was still struggling to be social and to talk freely with the new ones. Most didn't even bother trying anymore when she stayed silent and they took their distance. There was one president one though. A certain Nick. He kept on talking to her. Never once the smile left his face.
She remembers still how Chris smiled when sensei told her to make sure Nick got ready for the exam for his next belt. And the more they had to train together, the more she started talking back. Surprisingly she discovered she even started to smile again. For a second it scared her. Wanting to push the guy away. She didn't want to become so attached to anyone again, didn't want to have her heart broken like this again. But she only had to take one look at Chris, and remember all the things Susan said to her.
Shaking her head - it made Nick look at her in wonder - she started to explain the next exercise. It had only been a couple of trainings that she trained with the boy, but she already started to grow fond of him. He had the same charming and disarming open honesty that she had loved in Thomas.
Perhaps it was finally time to move on...
