Our Book Of Love

v my1.Elyn: part 1

I can't break up with Gregory today, even though I told my best friends I still love him maybe next time I saw him .

So instead, I am just hiding in my bedroom crying while watching him plays frisbee in the park across the street.

My dad shipped me the bike as yet another guilt gift.

Last summer before he and my stepmom moved from Philippines to USA Florida ,he handed me the keys to his old car and then started a new life.

They just had there first child, so I got this new bike.

I was just biking and wondering for what will happen in this life in until I got home I saw John well that was a surprise,he was my neighbor John Wayne lives next door and when we were little  he always visit ,and we are close friends since we were just four years old .

We always get scolded by our mom because we always get on trouble

we always eat a bowl of cereal together most likely everyday.

We camped in our backyards , and built forts every Saturday morning he even carried a bowl of popcorn to watch cartoons on my couch.

Even after we got high school, we hang out all the time .

But then, everything changed last November .

We still eat lunch with a small group of friends ,but he hasn't been in my house in the past six months.

I select a song named "you belong to me" by Taylor swift my favorite song and let it play and head down stairs.

And saw John is standing on the porch, mom invited him to stay and come to look out for me he is ringing our door bell wearing a Michael Jackson hat .

He's a grade behind me, which make him a sophomore. He still have that floppy reddish hair and a shy smile as always, but he grown five inches this year.

I watch my mom's car backing out the drive way . 

She honks and waves before turning into the street.

"Your mom said you haven't been out on your room all days" John says.

"I'm just reading some books here"I say, avoiding the whole Gregory issues.

"Oh that's awesome , I never knew that you read books, you always don't have time for that because you hate
reading" John said

"Come on that was years ago" I respond
and he said "ok I just gonna have to take you some time to read that book"
and he head downstairs , and I go back to reading.................
