Never Let Go

Usually

I can't stop thinking about what happened in WAVE. All through the day, I couldn't stop thinking about it. I ignored all the "Hey, I think Baileys back!"'s and all the "Bailey, your back?"'s. Kyle was with me through the whole day, and for the first time, I never wanted school to end.

But school did end. I was a car rider from now on instead of being a bus rider like usual. There will be no more usual, just a lot of getting used to. Kyle came to my locker so we could walk to car riders together.

We usually hug at the end of the day, then I go to the bus and he goes to car riders. This is something that I don't want to change. So I ask, "Can we still hug? I don't want that to change. To much has and will already change." I whisper this, not sure he hears me, but he nods. He opens up his arms and I throw myself into them squeezing him hard. He holds me tightly and we just stay there untill we both pull away. It's time to go.

We walk down the hall in silence. I find his hand and take it. I squeeze it and he squeezes mine back. We look at each other and, without talking, know more and more.

The car riders is pretty full of people. We go in front of a brick post. We stand with our arms around each other, my head in his shoulder. But he saw his car and had to go. He kisses me on the cheek and says, "I love you. See you tomorrow. Text me if you can."

My voice comes out small, but he still hears me. "Ok, I will. I love you too." It was hard to see him go. I couldn't wait until tomorrow. And that usually doesn't happen.
