After a long day jamming facts into our heads at school, my mom said we were going to the movie's with some of our old friends to go see the amazing spiderman. Their names are Jordan and Ryan. Ryan was Mark's age and they had met in kindergarten, and Jordan was my age and we met in 1st grade. There were homeschooled now so we didn't see them super often.
I used to have a big crush on Jordan. When I was little I thought I would marry him. But I realized that they are other fish in the sea. Did I? I will admit I still had a tinsy crush on him. But it was really small.
When we arrive at the theater he walked up to me casually.
"Hey, Shelby," he smiled. He was wearing a backwards hat over his sandy hair as always. His blue eyes gleamed with happiness. He's so different from Adam. From looks to personality, he's just different. I could never chose who I like better. I mean I like Jordan as a friend better I guess but Adam as a boyfriend. I'm really not sure.
"Sup," I held up a hand in greeting and we stepped inside the theater. We immediately headed to the snack bar and he buys and icee and I buy a popcorn.
"Oh and two straws please," he told the lady. It shocks me and I blush so red I must have looked like Elmo. The lady winked at me and handed a him two. I never thought he thought of me this way.
I put about a ton of butter on the popcorn and we went into the theater with our tickets. Our parents and brothers behind us.
We found seats in the middle an sat down to watch the trailers. I glared at the icee with two straws sticking out the top like it's evil. This isn't what I wanted. I wanted Adam. Right?
We finally got home from the movie, which I hardly watched because I was too busy comparing Jordan to Adam.
My brain told me to pick Jordan, I've known him longer and he's much sweeter and nicer. They're about equal on looks. Not that I care much about looks.
But something in my heart wanted Adam. Something in my heart told me that even though he hurts me, it still love him. I sigh as I realized there is no easy way. Pick Jordan I lose Adam, pick Adam I might lose Jordan. Plus they have met once, it didn't go well. They practically hate each other. So I'm choosing one I've the other I guess.
I don't know what I wantednso much about Adam. It there must have been something, because every moment somehow belonged to him, every song one the radio reminded me of him, and I remembered every word he has ever said to me. "That movie was sad," Mark sighed from the middle seat of the car.
"Yeah," I nodded not really listening. He took the hint and turned back around.
I plugged my earphones into my ears and turned on my taylor swift megamix. The first song that came on was "All too well" it's my favorite. I don't if it relates to me but I love it. Every note every lyric. Music has that effect on me.
When we arrived at home I threw My stuff down onto the ground and turned on dance moms and grab my book, "Requiem," it's the last "Delirium" book, which is a series was reading.
The main girl had a problem similar to mine. She has Julian, that starts with J, he's sweet with blonde-brown hair, like Jordan, and seems like the reasonable choice because Alex (who starts with an A and is the other boy she loves) can be a big jerk (a lot like someone I know...) I bet she ends up with Alex. He reminds me so much of Adam. Is that a sign? I fell onto my bed and screamed into my pillow. I pulled out my phone. I had a text from Hanna.
Hanna- Hey
Me-Hey
Hanna- What r u doing
Me- Nothing much. U?
Hanna- watching youtube
Me-cool.
Hanna- How was your day?
Me- coulda been better ;)
Hanna- same.
How could Hanna have had a bad day? She has the perfect life. Nice parents, great sisters, and has a ton of money. But lately things had been hard for Hanna. Her parents got divorced years ago and there had been some drama. I knew how that felt.
Me- praying 4 u
Hanna- thnx. Praying 4 u 2
Me- thx ;)
Hanna- Gotta go bye. Txt u l8tr
Me- k bye
I read a chapter of my book and then went into the living room where my little brother was watching, Paw Patrol, the weird show me and Adam always make fun of about dogs with jobs.
That's one of the reasons I couldnt leave Adam yet. So much belonged to him. Frozen, because we watched it with Luke in my room. The song "love is an open door" because him and Hanna sang it together an I cried about It for hours. The show kickin it because of when we watched it together, wooden spoons because Bailey hit him with it when we were swimming at my house,the sidewalks in our neighborhood where we rode bikes. The game geometry dash that he loved to play on my tablet. Everything. Too much of my life is his.
I sat next to Luke on the couch and laughed at the cheesy animated dogs.
And suddenly I heard his laughter in my head and I could hear him say my name. I could hear him sing. And him singing reminds me that we started play practice tomorrow for this year's Christmas play. I was going to play Savannah, the preppy, talkatuve girl an he was going to play Anthony, the cool, biker guy. Our parts were hard for us but at least we weren't bad actors if you know what I mean.
And thinking about the play and him, I drifted off into a deep sleep.
