Dear Gabriel

Entry # 7

Thursday, 2007, September 24

It’s been awhile since I’ve written down my thoughts, mainly because I didn’t have anything new to say.  But I have something new today!  Last week, I made a new friend named Tammy.  She’s really cool and we just got back from the movies.  We saw Across the Universe and I thought that it was amazing!  It was a pretty cool concept for them to integrate some of the best Beatles songs and make it into a musical of sorts. 

While we were at the movies Tammy got hit on by this guy named Kyle.  I knew who he was since he was in the same class as we were but I didn’t know him.  He seemed pretty decent.  He was on the freshman football team and played as a white receiver.  His friend Triston (who was also on the team and played on defense) was with him and joined us for dinner at In-N-Out.  They both paid for our dinner even through our protests.  I mean it wasn’t a date!  We weren’t on dates with them.  We had barely met them.  I guess you can say that it was a nice courtesy.

While Tammy and Kyle talked about football (Tammy was telling him how much of a good player he was), Triston and I were talking about the school play.  The school production this year would be Romeo & Juliet.  He was telling me that I should audition but I politely told him no.  I don’t know why he kept pressing it but I soon discovered that he had gone to Buier Middle School as I had.  He told me that he went and saw the musical production of The Little Mermaid and thought that I was extraordinary.

I couldn’t help but blush and was shocked that he remembered since it was almost two years ago since the production.  Triston bringing up the production made me think about opening night…which turned into thoughts about Gabriel kissing me on the cheek and bringing me the most vibrant red tulips I had ever seen at the end.  I don’t know what came over me but I felt the lump in my throat form and I excused myself from the table, rushing towards the bathroom. 

I told myself that I couldn’t cry.  I couldn’t cry anymore over him and it was absurd to cry over a happy memory.  But it wasn’t the memory that I was crying over – it was him.  It was always him.  I missed him and my heart longed for him to return.  Nothing was ever going to change that.

After a few minutes of being in the bathroom, I heard a door open and saw Tammy walk in.  She saw the tears and asked what was wrong. – I knew that I could trust her but I didn’t want to tell her right at that moment.  I promised her that I would tell her the next time we hung out.  She agreed and held me up to my promises or else she’d “beat me into a bloody pulp”.  I laughed, making me forget about Gabriel.  We walked back out once I was presentable again and enjoyed the rest of the night with our new friends.

Tonight was definitely a great night.  I haven’t had this sort of fun in a long time and it felt good to just hang out with friends.  I hope that Kyle and Triston would become good friends of ours in the future.  I could definitely see myself hanging out with them again.  Hmm…maybe Kyle and Tammy would become more than friends.  If that happens then I totally approve!  Kyle is a good guy from what I see and if he treats Tammy badly then I would personally kick his butt. 

Gosh, when did I get so violent?  I think it’s a sign for me to stop for tonight.  Maybe, this is a start of more entries to come.  I think this will be a new chapter in my life.  After all it is high school.
