Always Been You

Chapter 2

Malakai's POV

I'm not good at introductions so this is probably going to suck. Sorry in advance. Anywho. I'm Malakai McCartney. I'm 16 almost 17.  I'm from Florida. I'm honestly not that interesting. I live with my parents, my 10 year old brother Christian, and my dog Sora. I have an older sister named Hannah. She moved to Boston with her husband so I don't see her as much. I live in Hollywood Florida. I have only five friends. Harrison and Blake Baker,Noah Martinez,Jackson Beck ,and Leon Hyde. I've known them since I was in first grade. I had a sixth friend named Rosemary Holland. That's who I wrote that letter for. I've had a crush on her for years now. She moved away when we were I believe 10. We were EXTREMELY close. The day she left was the day a piece of my heart was practically stolen. I wish I kissed her before she left. Now that I think about it if she rejected me it wouldn't be that bad. It's not like I'm ever going to see her again. If I ever do then that'll be the happiest day of my life. If she came back I would never let her go. That's the end of my crappy introduction. Shall we start? This starts on the first day of my junior year of high school.

"MAL! WAKE UP! YOU CANNOT BE LATE!"

Crap! I forgot to turn on my alarms!

I went to get up but fell. My foot was tangled in my blanket. I got my foot free then found clothes then got ready. I never eat anything before I leave. With my luck I'd be late.

"Let's go! It's almost 8!"

"I'm coming down now!"

I brushed my teeth then grabbed my book bag. I  ran downstairs. I'm not feeling like myself at all. During first period I had honestly no idea what was going on. I was too busy thinking.

I wonder if she's okay. I hope she is. I'd do anything to at least say "goodbye" to her properly.

"Malakai!"

I wonder if she ever thinks about me.

"McCartney!"

"Bro. Pay attention!"

I snapped back to reality.

"Mr. McCartney. Are you with us?"

"Physically yes. Mentally no."

"Pay attention. Now everyone get these signed and bring them back by Friday."

We were given things us and an parent or guardian had to  sign. At lunch I used my fork to move my food around.

"Hello?"

I wonder what she looks like now.

"Bro?"

Maybe she got prettier?

"MAL!"

Eh she's pretty to me 24/7.

"MCCARTNEY!"

I wonder if she lives nearby.

"Somebody hit him."

I really wish I held her closer.

I felt someone slap the back of my head.

"Ow! What the hell Leon?!"

"Welcome back."

"You were thinking about her again weren't you?"

"I-yeah."

"You gotta move on."

I started eating.

"This crush has been going on for how long now?"
