I was having the worst day ever. One of those days that stabs you in the back, twists, and then kicks you while you're down.

I was sitting in the fairly crowded dining hall at my school with some friends. It is a widely known fact by my friends that I am a huge Pokémon fan (I have a pokeball tattoo on my shoulder.) My best friend Jacob, told me that he found a poem he needed to read me and read it out loud to me in the cafeteria.

"Charmanders are red, Squirtles are blue,

...."I'll stay by your side like Pikachu and Ash, I'll love you more than a level 80 Rapidash..."

By Rapidash, I was crying/balling in the cafeteria saying "Pikachu and Ash, that IS TRUE FRIENDSHIP LOVE."
