Remember Us?

Masquerade

      It has been three days since I have seen Luke.  We are going on a friendly date. Nothing else. I just want to see if he will remember me or I could try to convince him.
    It probly won't work. I will try anyways.
I really wanted him to remember. How could I do that? Let's see. I need to think of all the things we used to love doing or eating or whatever.
    We used to love: waffles with whipped cream piled high, bowling, and playing pranks on people. I had no idea if he liked those things anymore. If he did, I was going to pop a couple questions. Memorable questions about the old memories.
     I was going to figure out if he had really forgotten over 5yrs. Its not that long so mabey he just chose to forget. Mabey he had to.  Today was the day to see. Mabey I'd learn something about new Luke.
   
     I got some casual clothes on. A GreenDay T-shirt, skinny jeans, and some black sneakers on. I curled my hair and that was it. If Anna knew I was going on a date with Luke she would yell at me one, for not telling her two, for wearing this in front of him.
    I had told Luke to meet me at the city park. Mabey he was already there or mabey I would have to wait. I hate waiting!!
    When I arrived, I saw no one but an old couple feeding the pigeons stale bread. I sat on an empty bench and began the heart some waiting. I watched as the old lady stuck her old, brittle hands in the bag of crumbs. When she lifted it her hand was full with crumbs, a couple fell. She through the crumbs on the cement side walk and laughed. The oldman laughed and looked her. He leaned and planted a kiss on her cheek.
     I sighed " I hope to have that lie ahead in my future."
     During my wait I notice a lot of things that I never noticed about the park. I noticed the way the trees danced in the wind. The sound the wind made as it sifted the earth and carried on. Two squirrels played in the trees and then decided to give up the show for me.
    I looked at my clock. Its been three hours of hopelessness. I decided to just leave. I should have known he was to famous to hang out with me. Probly off somewhere winning an award, recording a song, or just sitting there skipping over fan emails.
     I stood up and walked slowly just in case he showed up. When I got to the gate. I looked behind me, sighed, then walked out.
   About two seconds after I walked out
I heard a yell.

   "Ski wait!!!!" A sharp voice yelled.
    I turned around and went back into the park and saw Luke. He was running in skinnies and was sweating like hell. He looked like he just ran a 5k run. He put his hand on my arm bending over to catch his breath.

    "S-sorry" he breathed.
   "Its ok," I laughed " are you OK"
   

    I helped into the car and I was going to let him take a shower at my place. He stank so freaking bad. My nose was having a heart attack.
   I rolled down the window on the way. It was really awkward in the car. REALLY AWKWARD!!!
    I sleed home because i couldnt take the silence,  I dont think he could either.
    When we got to my house I derected him toward the bathroom.  I heard the water start so I knew he knew how to work it. I went into the kitchen and sat down at my bar to check my laptop. It had two notifications. One from Anna and one saying my friend liked my photo on Facebook. I checked the email from Anna. It said " sky!! I hope you didn't forget about the dance!!! Don't forget to be there!!" .
    Oh Crap!! I totally forgot about the masquerade ball the Makeup team was putting on. We are going to have almost 3000 makovers to do. Uhg, how am I going to cancel Luke.
    Luke came out of the bathroom smelling fresh.
    " Luke I am going to have to cancel our date." I looked at him hoping he wouldn't get mad.
    "Why?" Luke looked at me hard.
     "I have to do this make up thing for a masquerade ball." I sighed.
     "I can help! I have some friends that can too." Luke wide eyed.
     "You can't do makeup" I said shaking my head.
     "Please, please, please!" Luke pleaded just as the old Luke would have. I knew I wouldn't be able to say no.
     "Yes.... Fine.... Whatever" I sighed " just get in the car.
      "Yay" Luke jumped and ran out of the room.
