After continuous days of sitting in the office I finally had a full schedule! The only problem was I was going to be late to my journalism class. I didn’t really care though because I hated that class anyway. As I walked to my locker trying to remember my combination I heard a familiar voice talking to someone. Then I saw that person walk pass but I didn’t see their face. Then he walked back and stood there trying to get my attention.
I almost dropped my books out of my hand when I looked to see who it was. It was my best friend Brian. My first thought was to throw all of my books on the ground, run to him, and hug him. Instead I just stood there like an idiot shocked to see him. Just seeing him smile brought back memories and feelings I once had for him. He finally walked towards me.
“Oh my God, what are you doing here?”
“I missed being here with everybody. I had to come back for our senior year.” He said.
At this time I noticed that Brian had put his books on the ground. I think he wanted to give me a hug, but again I just stood there like an idiot. I couldn’t stop smiling and neither could he. At that moment I had forgot all about Darion.
“Man, I missed you and everyone who left.” I admitted.
“I missed you too and I miss having a class with you.”
I began to blush.
“Yeah me too,” I said looking down at the ground.
Then I remembered I had to go to class. Brian walked me to class. All I could think about was him afterwards.
God what was it about Brian that made me just become so dorky. I didn’t want to admit it, but in just one day Brian managed to bring back some of those feelings. I couldn’t stop smiling and every time I thought about him I began to get butterflies.
“Isn’t that a sign of love.” I thought to myself.
“But wait a minute, I have a boyfriend! I love Darion. This isn’t right. I got over Brian and found my true love, Darion.” I convinced myself.
I tried to erase the thoughts of Brian out of my head. It was time for lunch and I was starving.
Darion and I made plans to go out to lunch, so I went to my locker to put my books up and meet up with him. As I began to walk to his locker I saw Brian again talking to some freshmen girls. Then he saw me and began to smile. Just when I thought my thoughts of him would stop.
“Hey where are you going right now?” He asked.
“I’m going to lunch.”
“Oh I have lunch this hour too. I never see you in there.”
It felt like my heart dropped because all this time I was with Darion. What can I say now?
“Yeah I go outside the school for lunch.” I replied.
“You got a car?” He asked.
At this point my heart was on the ground, but I knew sooner or later I would have to tell him.
“No. I ride with my boyfriend.”
I couldn’t even look at him, but I was curious to see how he would react. Even though I could never predict how Brian truly felt about me.
“Oh you got a boyfriend. What’s his name?”
Brian looked shocked as if he couldn’t believe it. I guess he finally noticed that I was no longer a tomboy. I changed.
It was a good change.
“You don’t know him but his name is Darion.” I finally answered.
“Darion? That name sounds familiar. He’s black right?”
