“I hate how nobody ever wants me”
“I know that gets me to, are they afraid of perfection?”
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ninth grade year had come and gone. I managed to make it out of junior high alive, faced many trials and tribulations but I made it. Not only were there problems with Alec and Travis but I lost many of my best friends and got hurt trying to hold on to them. I was always surrounded by people who loved me, but they were a group of friends I’d had since the sixth grade and losing them was like losing siblings. But hey that’s not what this was about.
Summer began, and I was so excited to be spending more time with Casidy and Alec, Cas was practically over every other week. Alec and I didn’t get to hang out as much. But we did, and it was some of the most memorable times we had together. It all began with a cold summer morning.
Wearing yoga pants and a tank top, I walked my way down to a bridge on the green circle trail. I wait for Alec and stand underneath the bridge and listen to trains cross above. The air was cold as is, which explains why I was wearing pants but standing there you could feel the chilly air coming off the water. I look to my right and I could see Alec stopped on the road about to text me when I came up behind him and gave him jumper cables. I’ve never seen Alec flinch and he didn’t with jumper cables either. Although he told me he did.
We walked the rest of the way together; I was silent and let Alec talk. I wasn’t exactly sure what he was talking about, so I figured it was safer to keep my mouth shut. We made it down to the train tracks, and sat on this big rock a good twenty feet away. This is what we were planning to do the whole day. Alec called it “rail fanning,” I just went with it.
Trains were one of Alec’s biggest hobbies, of course I knew that being so close to him and all. Throughout the day we saw maybe three, and by 1, it was SUPER hot outside, nasty hot, how did go from so nice and cool to this, ew.
On the way back home we took the green circle trail, the way id come from to begin with, it had a big park at the end of the trail and Alec had his bike, so while I walked he biked to the park to get us water. When he returned he handed the bottle to me, and like I said it was super hot, I’d feel bad if I drank his water. “no thanks, I’m good”
“No you’re not, take what you need”
We fought over it for a good couple minutes until he convinced me to drink some, I being a smart ass took only a sip and handed it back to him, but he protested and made me drink more. I finally gave in and did. We stood out on the trail under the tree’s for a while until he knew he had to go home, we lived five miles apart, a hefty bike ride.
I gave him a big hug, like I said before, Alec gives the best hugs. I went to turn and leave but he pulled me back and kissed me. Butterflies in my stomach instantly, like fireworks going off, I could feel the spark, the perfect kiss. I looked like crap after being outside and he kissed me, he really kissed me.
I walked away, sad to leave. But I walked home with a smile on my face, still feeling his kiss on my lips.
