24.

Over the years, I grew up believing one thing, whilst he grew up believing another. We grew from kids to young adults in complete separate worlds, only to be brought together and made to clash.

But I wouldn't say we clashed at all - in fact, we began to adapt to each other's ways. We taught each other, learned from one another, and ultimately found peace in each other's presence.

The dove and the wolf.

I was expected at practise the following Friday - somehow I knew I would see him there, and so I was glad to learn that it had been cancelled the first Tuesday back from the extended thanksgiving weekend. Lilian was right - barely anyone was on campus, and people were only starting to come back on the Wednesday and Thursday of that week. As usual, it seemed that I was the only one here who truly cared for their education. Me and Sam.
