We have calcium in our bones, iron in our veins, carbon in our souls, and nitrogen in our brains, 93 percent stardust, with souls made of flames, we're all just stars that have people names.
With every step as I walk through the school way, last night replays in my head like movie. I let go her wrist and everything go blank. All I hear is her screaming my name over and over. "Alex, I'm sorry I didn't mean it. I'm just afraid I'll hurt you," she says shaking me. But, I feel nothing and I feel myself being submerged in darkness.
I'm so out of it that I didn't realize my best friend, Alaska is in front of me, trying to get my attention. "What? Sorry, I'm completely out of it," I say and she immediately hugs me. "So whatcha up too Alexander?" she says cheerfully. She's the one person I allow to call me my full name and she's so energetic it's scary. "Just about to go my locker and put away my backpack?" I say smiling. She frowns but, says,"Booooo!!! Your so lame Alexander. You go do that while I talk to Nadia." She runs over to her friend Nadia and starts talking her head off. I can't help but laugh as I put my stuff away in my locker.
Since their locker is two lockers down from mine, I can every word they're saying. "So I see you were talking to your boy," Nadia says smirking. "Shut up," she says punching Nadia in the arm softly. "Hey, you know you two would be such a cute couple. I ship it!!!" Nadia says jumping up and down. Alaska takes a deep breath and frowns and says, "To him I'm just another girl and his best friend that pesters him every time I see him. To me, he's that guy. With that smile, those eyes, that laugh, and the boy I can never have. But yet I still dream."
It can't be me she's talking about is it? I lock eyes with Alaska and she looks away, blushing. Hmmmm.....I think she does. I walk up to them and Nadia looks like she was about to say some I got but quickly closes her mouth. Then she smirks and pushes Alaska towards me and she falls on top of me. She screams," Go get some" and runs away laughing.
I look at her and I can she is having anxiety. "Hey Alaska, can you move over a little bit? Your sitting on my hand," I say and she immediately gets up. "Uhmhm sorry Alex," she says trying to laugh it off. "Well I gotta get to first period Alaska," I say and she waves me goodbye as I start to walk down the hallway.
Then I hear her say, "I wish you'd notice me...." I turn around and walk right up to her. I hug her and as I'm hugging her someone stops and frowns. Sage. I let go of her and look up at Sage. She forces a smile and keeps on walking. "If you hesitate between me and another person, don't choose me," she says looking down at the ground.
"Alaska." "Yeah?" she says looking up at me. "Come here," I say softly. She walks up closer to me. I lean into her face and she says, "Alex what are you doing?" I kiss her and I can feel her heart pounding like a jackhammer.
I let of her and say, "Who do you like?" She looks down and says," No one." I smirk and wink at her and say, " OH who do you like?" She pouts and stamps her feet, " I said no one!!! How many times are you going to ask me that?" I frown and say," As many times it takes for you to say my name."
She blushes and runs down the hall with her face in her hands. There are so many things I'd like to say to you. But I don't know how too.
