Just in Case.. [Short story]

opposites attrack. -memory-

“Well this is a masterpiece.” I smiled proudly as I turned on my heels. For another time I had decided to paint my room, and for the first time I ever I let someone join me.

We had painted most of the walls simply white and than we had written down other stuff in Prussian blue. Stuff like the day we met, the part he read out loud of the notebook, my favorite words with meanings underneath it.

Wonderwall; won-der-wall

Someone you find yourself thinking about all the time, the person you're completely influated with.

I always like the word wonderwall, just liked I liked the song. But the meaning behind the word was so much more. Leon was my wonderwall. Thats why we had painted our lips blue as well and pecked the wall right beside we had written it. It took us a few weeks to get rid of the blue lips and once school had started again people used to laugh at us, but we would laugh along. It was like we were marked to only steal kisses from each other.

One wall had been picked to write a huge bucket list on. Everything I ever wanted had been written down on it in blue paint, once something happened I would check it beside it. On top of the list was 'fall in love' and that was also the only thing of the 30 that I was able to check already.

Than I had another last one, that was painted blue and we had just had a paint fight in front of that wall. We had covered the other ones with plastic, making sure they wouldn't get destroyed. We threw paint to each other, stole kisses. Wipe our hands off on each other, stole more kisses. The wall ended up having less paint patches than our bodies so we left some handmarks on it and later I hung our pictures on it and little fairy lights.

Weeks passed by without our parents knowing we were dating. Everyone still saw us as the two best friends. We knew my parents wouldn't care, but his mum would be something totally different. Mrs Ellerson wasn't against me like she used to be in the beginning, she really started liking me actually. But me? Being the first girlfriend of her perfect son? That would be impossible. I liked Mrs Ellerson a lot, she was really sweet but I felt sorry for her, because she didn't know her son like I did, or like my parents did.

Mrs Ellerson still saw him as geeky 12 year old that only liked studying and technology, didn't like sports in case he would get hurt and wanted to become a doctor. But that wasn't Leon anymore. Leon was the 16year old popular teenager that loved his team, sports and friends the most in his life. He was the guy who needed a kiss before he walked up on the field, otherwise he wouldn't win. He was the sensible guy that prefered watching Nicholas Sparks movies than Superheroes. He had become the guy that found out that at night you make the best memories and that it's the most beautiful time of the day, especially by full moon. It was the teenager that still wanted to be a doctor, but not for being well payed, for actually helping people. But most of all Leon was all mine.

Over the months Leon spent more time inhere, than at his own house. He only went sleeping outthere. My parents had soonly found out, since Leon and I had been more cudly than before and even more closer.

It took us four months to finally admitt to his mother we had been in a relationship and she simply replied that she knew that already. She had noticed it the way he talked about me or how happy he looked when we were around but she hadn't said something because she wanted him to tell her. He had asked if she was mad at him but she wasn't. She was happy for us.

School wasn't the nice thing ever though, to be honest? Year 10 was the worst. It started all fine, Leon was still the captain of the team and I was the lead cheerleader. We were main things people talked about. I had been put in other classes than with my friends, so I had to make new ones which was quite hard. After only a few weeks I made one friend, the only one in my classes that didn't seem a fake. Most of them looked like they were being friendly in my face and talk shit behind my back, I didn't need a friend like that. I needed a friend like Leon. Than we had some girls that were just jealous about me dating Leon and not them, so they would go the straight way and make fun of me daily. And than there was Tiffany.
