A recent life chapter

Have you met a person that became an important part of your life? After sometime you became friends but one day you two had a little misunderstanding. You became enemies and you don’t want to be drawn near her or him. I am experiencing it now, just read along. It was my second day as a first year high school student. Our former teacher in English rearranged us by height. Before the rearrangement, I was in the first seat from the door. After the arrangement, I was on the third group seating at the fourth seat.
I was eating my lunch when a girl from a particular school, greeted me. At first, I can’t believe that someone knows me from other schools. She asked me if I knew her. I said that I didn’t know her but she looks familiar to me. So, she just introduced herself to me. She also introduced her friends that were my classmates. Our schools are members of a district. It was District VII. She asked me if I can remember the Science Quiz Bowl when we were in the fifth grade. She said that she was one of the participants on that bowl. I apologized because I forgot her. She said that she hated me in that quiz bowl because I was like a mind-reader. She said that I could read visions. But I just laughed at her and said that my teacher trained me well. I befriended one of them. I wanted to make her as my best friend because she resembles my former best friend in attitude and standing. I asked her a favor if I can put things in her locker. She said that it was okay for her. One afternoon they had an urgent meeting, she asked me if I can do a favor for her. I said that it was okay because I finished my cleaning job. She asked if I can put the things on her locker. I assured her that I will do what she said. After their meeting, she thanked me.
One noon, after eating my lunch, I asked her about her family. Then, we came to a topic that I think is sad for her. It was about her father. She was going to eat her lunch that time but kept her lunch and said that she lost her appetite. I apologized to her. I kept saying that she should eat but she keeps on replying that she didn’t want to eat. I felt guilty at that time because of my curiosity. The next day, she told me more information about her father. She asked me to buy juice in the canteen and I did it.
One afternoon around noontime, my friends and I were planning to fool our other classmates. We wanted them to believe us in our joke. Then she came into the room and my other classmates told her that, “Oh, A warning from the CWTS again!” I said, “Tsk. Tsk. Tsk.” Then she asked us “Where?” and we replied that we were just fooling her. She told me straight from where I’m standing that how dare we. I said that don’t be too hot. But she shouted at me in front of the class and scolded me like a junk. From that day on, everything changed.
Day after day, we don’t pay attention to one another. We don’t go near from one another and when we meet, one of us go to the other way. One time when she opened her locker, I got my things and put it on another locker. I just thanked her for keeping my things.
But then, I realized that I should be the first to say sorry. Being shy, I sent her messages in her e-mail address. I thought that she didn’t read my messages and just put it into trash. Another way of apologizing was when our overnight was postponed because of the bad weather. She had many things to bring back home. I said that we’d just wait for my father so that she wouldn’t have difficulty in bringing her things. She didn’t thank me for helping her but I think she thanked my father.
So I stopped in sending her mails of apology. But for the last few days, she sent a message of apology. But I don’t know what I’ll do.
