Do you believe in the "Slow-Mo Moment"? You know, when you see someone and everything around you just seems to slow down and that might just be true love?
Hi. I'm Lacey Cruz. People don't know me as a girly girl. I'm not that type of girl. I'm like one of the boys. My whole group of friends were the boys that played basketball, which I was a fan of two.
When I was about five, my mom came up to me in tears, she told me she was going to buy something. She started walking. That was my first slow mo moment. I started running after her and she started running faster. It seemed with every step I take, I just got slower. A few days after my mom left, A basketball rolled towards my foot. A boy started running after it. At the time, I didn't have my two front teeth, so I looked really ugly with no teeth. I picked up the ball and handed it to the boy. I gave a big smile to him. The boys behind him said "EWWW look at her teeth!" But the boy in front of me told them to go away. We instantly became friends. Though my mom left, I found a new best friend.
Another slow mo moment was when I was 10. I was with Brennan (My best friend) and we were playing basketball.
"PLEASE DON'T GO IVAN DONT!" We heard Brennan's mom yell. We ran to the front of the house to see Brennan's dad putting suit cases in the trunk and getting in the front seat and drove off. My second slow-mo was seeing my best friend cry.
Slow Motion moments are always bad for me, except for last January. Brennan, his friends, and I (also including the only girl friend I had named, Ariel,) were playing basketball and I had my eyes locked on Brennan. Everything around me just disappeared and I seemed to only be looking at him. I was standing in the same place and he was calling out my name. I wasn't really listening, but he passed the basketball for me to take shot, but I didn't see it coming so it hit me on the head.
I fell on my back, and hit my head. Brennan ran up to me and his face came close to mine. "Are you okay?" Brennan asks in concern. His friends, Emery and Jonah, and Ariel were surrounding him.
"I love you." I said. But I didn't know I said that because I didn't know anything I said.
"What?" They all say.
"I love you Brennan..." They all start to laugh including Brennan.
And this takes me to today, June.
I was sitting on my couch watching T.V. when suddenly the door swings wide open.
"LACEY! GUESS WHAT JEN AND BRENNAN ARE OFFICIALLY OVER!" I look to see Ariel walking in.
"How'd do get my house key?" I ask her.
"Your dad gave it to me for special emergencies." she says.
"Oh. but anyway, I told you I don't care. Brennan and I are just best friends!" I try to explain to her.
"But then how bout in January when you said you loved him hmmmm" She says.
"Well, I didn't know what I was saying. and plus Brennan and I already cleared things up that is wayy behind us now I told him that I would never like him. That hes not my type and that I don't see what other girls see in him..." I say.
"You did not!!" She whines.
*Brennan's POV*
"Jen and I are over." I tell Jonah and Emery.
"What ever happened to you guys being the 'perfect match'" Jonah jokes.
"Yeah, I thought we were until I got to see the other side of her." I say.
"Well how about Lacey? She LOVES you ." He emphasizes the loves.
"How many times. That was back in January! and its summer. and we already went over this. She told me she isn't into me and thats it. I think it's best to stay best friends with her. I already tried getting it out of her and telling her to tell me how she feels, but she tells me she's not interested in me and doesn't see why girls go crazy over me..." I sigh and went back to shooting the basketballs.
