The One that Got Away

The Telling

           Every day i got to know her better. I wouldn't hang out with Tyler anymore because I would always hang out with her and her friends. They always hung out at a tree at the far end of the school. They would always mess around with me. I don't know why i would go over there by the tree, but i just did.

           Then they started to wonder who i liked. At the time i didn't, but yet, i did. Then they asked me, " Who do you like?" I stood there in surprise. But i answered them with, " i don't like any budy." they looked at me as if i were lieing to their faces. then some told me," Oh come on! You half to like someone." I realized who was saying that. It was a girl named Bethany. She's one of Cierra's best friends." I'll tell you who like.... IF.. You tell me who you like." She stood there almost as if frozen. " Oh c-come on. don't like a-a-anyone." "Then why were you stuttering when you said that?" I asked her. "Fine! i like Kyle alright. Happy now!" "Anthony can you just tell use who you like, and we'll leave this all alone." It was Cierra who said it. " I already told you gals. i don't like anyone." When I said that, we didn't talk about it again. Or atleast for now.

             When the mouth was about to end i relized that i wouldn't sit next to Cierra anymore. I got mad for some odd reason, but i didn't know why. That morning I saw her sleeping in class. I didn't want to bother her, so i just let her sleep on. When class was over, the teacher came, and woke her up. I went to the tree with the other girls,and boy! they keep asking me who i liked. Especily Bethany. "I keep telling you gals i don't like anybudy." "Anthony," said Bethany," Can you please just tell me." Then i said, "Cierra. I like Cierra."

                 " You like Ceirra?!?!?!?!?" They all yelled together. "Yeah i do. I mean i don't. I mean... Yes." I was a liitle more glad that Cierra went home that day.
