the love of my life

The beggining of it all

Kiley sat on her bed as her phone buzzed. She saw  that the message had been from  Romona  her friend. As much as she wanted to ignore it she couldn't. She quickly dropped her pencil and closed the book she had been writing in. "Meet me at the park in 5", the message read.                                         
  Kiley got up and went to her closet to pick out some clothes. While she change, she wondered if Tajay would be there. Tajay was romona's cousin who Kiley had liked for a while now. When she finished getting dressed she went downstairs to find her parents in the kitchen. Because Kiley was only 12 she had to ask her parents permission to go out. 
  She went to the fridge to grab a bottle of water to take with her. Then she turned to her mom and asked " mommy can I go to the park to meet Romona?" "OK but be back by 3", she replied. It was 2:00pm so my mom had only given me an hour at the park with romona. The park wasn't far from my house so I didn't need my mom to drive me.              
    When I arrived at the park I scanned the area for Romona. I spotted her on the swings with her cousin. I walked over to them. " Hi," I greeted them. "What took you so long", Romona enquired.              
    I ignored her once I heard a voice. "My sister has a necklace just like yours ,"Tajay said from the swing next to romona's. It was a necklace that my mom got me for my 11 birthday. She bought it when she had visited Asia. I did not know what to say to him so I touched the necklace.              
       Only Romona and my mom knew how I felt about Tajay. My mom was like my bestfriend,I told her everything. I asked Romona why she had called me to the park. She didn't want Tajay to hear so she pulled me aside. "He totally likes you," she whispered. I immediately asked her how she knew because I didn't want to get my hopes up. "When I was searching his room I found a diary and I read it," she told me. I was shocked at the fact that he had a diary but I focused on the bigger picture. He liked me!! I was excited at the fact that the boy I liked secretly liked me. I was shocked but anyway Romona and I went back to the swings and I pretended like nothing happen. We played a little and the I told them I had to go. I walked down the street to my house in disbelief.
