memories part 1

Doing what's right? If only it were that simple.

Flashback

Tamara and Brent go way back. They knew each other since long but things never worked for them. They went to the same school, hated the same subjects and classes but also managed to pass them. It took Brent more effort than it did Tamara but they managed to encourage and motivate each other.

Then came 8th grade. Brent developed feelings for Tamara. Lucky for her, he got the feels for her first. They got along well together, had similar sense of humour, taste and style. So why not date. So as the man Brent approached her. Little did he know she was entertaining the idea of them dating but wasn't in favour of friends turning into lovers. And they young. But maybe that's just her.

She knew her life would be tough. What with her being able to manipulate objects. I'm not really a witch or anything. But I'm gifted I guess. My family shares similar gifts like mine but they not around a lot,  I literally don't see them anywhere. Fortunately, my parents did explain my gift to me but they did not explain it to me nicely. But I'm able to move objects to anywhere I want but it must be within a reasonable distance and I can only use it 10 times a day. So I really have to careful about it. I know,  then what's the use of this gift if it has limits. Sounds like a bad anime show right? But it works for me. Well sometimes anyway. I haven't shoplifted stuff or anything, and I haven't taken anything I shouldn't. Not technically anyway.

The first time I discovered I had this gift. I simply used it for the smallest of things like doing the dishes, packing my school bag and cleaning the house and such. But that become so tedious. So I started doing stuff to help others and sort of engage in charity work. Like looking for people's missing possessions for them,  yes I can do that as long as I see what it is. I can recall it through memory as well but as long as I'm in the same parameter as the lost object or else it's not there. This became a hit with many people asking for my help. At a small price of course, rewards are earned in various ways right. 😃

So I did this for a while and volunteered to assist in a home for abandoned puppies. There was a lot of work needed to be done there,  so my help was welcomed a lot. I loved it,  they were so cute and I actually didn't need to use my gift a lot. They just easy to help and never expect much from you except love and care. I was in instant love with them. My life was comfortable, I had no hassles except school work and annoying friends.

A bit of information on my friends. Don't really have much close friends. But one close friend of mine is a guy named Brent. He was cute as usual, just my type of guy, but I don't want a boyfriend yet. I am 16. Two more years to 18, and getting my independence. That's all I'm focused on. I couldn't wait.

That's where my life was at. No stress, and I really hope for none.

But Brent planned a way to propose Tamara and ask her to date him. Take their friendship to the next level and all that jazz. It looks easy in the movies,  I may just break out into a Charleston if she rejects me. Make it look likens bad joke. And if that happens I  wouldn't mind if the sky darkens and clouds roll in and rain pours out. I'll just do the singing in the rain rendition, it's bound to be a hit. I believe in my swag,  I'll pull it off. I would feel as confident if Tamara says yes but she's a mystery that one. It could go both ways with her. Don't want to jinx it.

I told her to come to our favourite place. The botanical gardens but by the lake. Hope she doesn't push me in it. I know she always wanted to. I'll just put a lot of petals around it to distract her. She doesn't like roses. I bought hydras for her. They the only flowers she likes and knows of, hahaha. But don't tell her that. So it's time to tell her how I feel.

At the lake...

"Tamara, I've been developing feelings for you. Would you like to take this relationship to the next level with me,please?"
This is where she kicks my arse for ruining everything I just know it.
"Uh-huh,  I... Wow. What? "
"I like you Tamara. It's been a while now so I'm not saying it,  just because I'm trying my luck or taking advantage of our friendship. But I genuinely have feelings for you. Please tell me how you feel."

She starts laughing.

All I could think was one word.  Rude.
