'One Summer'

One summer, I fell in love

We both looked at fireworks up above

Laying in the sand, as happy as could be

That whole summer we were young and free

The sun shined upon your bright blue eyes

Equivalent to the color of the skies

Looked at me, saying we should always be free

That one summer, it was just him and me

Feeling the sand beneath our feet

Taking in the summer heat

Watching you, as you surf

You watch me lay on the turf

We were so close, but still just friends

But I wanted to be more - just a little more than friends

Our friends all joked about the two of us

We both pretended to be in disgust

That one summer, just you and me

It was perfect - as perfect as can be

One day we had to go, screaming no! No! No!

We persuaded, but still had to go

Oh, I loved him so

But that one summer he had to go

Rebecca POV

That was about four summers ago when I actually had hope that Zac liked me. He was perfect. He had beach blonde hair and perfect blue eyes. He was really athletic and funny, the exact opposite as me. How could he love me if we were polar opposites? 

Well we started off to be just good friends until things got a little awkward between us when everyone started making fun of us because we sat together and talked and blushed. 

Now he probably has no chance of liking me. Who knows? He might have a girlfriend. 

Or not. 

Ever since I seen him I knew we would be best friends, until I learned he lived in Baltimore and I live in Boston. I remember when I was little, I thought there were no other places in the world except the ones I  visited. 

I first realized I truly liked him when he ran to his house from the beach with a GIRL. I didn't know who it was and I just felt this pang of jealousy that made me want to cry. I soon learned that the girl was his cousin and she was very nice. 

I really like Zac because he actually likes me as a person, and I think the same about him. Plus he's hot. I'm not the most liked person at my school. All the girls make fun of me and some of them I thought were my friends, but they turned out to be real jerks to me. I'm not popular at all, and I probably have only one friend back at school. But Zac is worth one thousand times those other girls and always makes me feel comfortable. 

I wish he liked me back.
