It was fifth grade history class. We students sat in front of the television monitor as it showed a video on the Civil War. Some students were doodling stick figures in pen on their palms, still slick with sweat from recess. Some students watched with a spark of interest stirring in their innoccent eyes. A group of girls shared secrets and bubblegum lipgloss as they whispered excitedly in a corner they claimed for themselves. I sat next to my best friend Violet, my eyes glued to the screen as it showed a scene of the war, guns aimed everywhere on the chaotic field. Excitement kindled inside me as I leaned to my right, where Violet sat quietly beside me.
"Isn't it awesome, Vi?" I whispered to my darker skinned friend. "All of that just so they and their loved ones can be free. How brave. I'd like to do that someday, maybe."
Violet turned to face me. "Faith, promise me you won't do that."
I was surprised by her comment and laughed lightly. I looked at her, but my smile faded as fear gleamed in her eyes.
Violet, panicked by my silence, gripped my arm and whispered loudly, "Faith, /promise/ me you won't do it. Promise on our friendship. I need you here, alive. I need to know you're alive. Faith?!"
I couldn't stand to see her like that. "Okay, I won't." I said as Violet sighed with relief and released my arm.
I know it was a long time ago, but I will never forget the day a ten year old indirectly showed how much she loved me. It may have been small, but her friendship was and is pure as you'll ever find. -
Hmm. You're making one?
