One Step At a Time

The Best Summer Yet

The rest of the year ended with me and Nicole getting pretty close, but I couldn't talk to her most of the time over the summer because she didn't have cell service at her home. My brothers best friend had taken me under his wing, we had begun weight lifting and he took me to the pool after. His name was Tyler, he was a great guy, he taught about life based on his mistakes and things he didn't mess up on. The summer was fun, I didn't bulk up much but compared to how I was before I got much stronger though. I was proud of my self, I had worked hard. Tyler had told me next year if I take classes and get my work permit he would help me with becoming a life guard. The summer was starting to slow down, and the Fourth of July was upon us. Nicole had texted me that she was going to be at the park ( which the pool was in) do I was going to get to see her. I was excited. I was there all day and when Nicole arrived we hung out during most of it. She said someone she used to go to school with was going to be there. We had picked up right where we had left off... I liked her as much as I wouldn't admit it, Tyler knew, I don't think see did though. I didn't think she liked me back and I had known her for two years and didn't want to screw things up, of course like everyone one else I had my suspicions that she did like me. I had always been pretty good at telling when girls like me but I shrugged it off as if it were nothing, I didn't want to leave anything to risk with her...I had missed her
