As Josh kissed me sweetly but passionately I could feel my knee’s starting to wobble. “Is it a sign I’m truly in love?” I thought to myself.
Josh, realizing I was shaking, stopped kissing me for a moment. He let go of me and slowly; I dropped to my knees and started to sob. “Megan, are you okay?” he asked out of worry. I then realized I was sitting on the ground sobbing for an unknown reason. Wiping the tears from my face, I looked at Josh, and without thinking I said; “I’m okay… there’s no reason to worry about me. I’m just happy I can be with you.”
Josh was glad I was okay. But from his facial expression I could tell he was really worried about me.
Helping me up so carefully it felt like if he laid a hand on me I would shatter into a million pieces.
Once at my door, caressing my cheek, Josh said his goodbye and kissed me gently on the cheek before leaving me standing at my front door.
As he was walking away, I stood there and watched him until I couldn’t see him anymore. I stood there, staring into the darkness for a moment, slowly tilting my head upwards, I looked up into the starry sky. As I stood there I saw a shooting star, I quickly closed my eyes, took a deep breath and made my wish. I opened my eyes once I was sure I made the wish I wanted, I turned around, opened my door, went up to my room and went straight to bed.
In the morning I woke to Josh standing over me, my window was wide open.
Shockingly Josh standing there didn’t surprise me the least. Still in bed, I slowly took my arms out from under my covers and put them around Josh’s neck pulling him into a hug.
“You’re not surprised to see me, are you Megan?” he asked like he knew the answer to the question. “No I’m not surprised considering you’re the first person I get to see as soon as I wake up, and that’s something very special to me.” I slowly moved my head upwards until our lips met. We stayed in the same position for a minute before my alarm clock went off ruining the mood.
“Megan, I came here to tell you that I’ll be helping Jenna’s class tomorrow for 5th and 6th period, I’ll meet you at the park outside the school.”
“Why does it have to be Jenna’s class? Can’t it be Lorie or Krystal’s class?” I asked Josh being as serious as possible.
“I know you don’t like her, and I don’t like her either, but it wasn’t my idea, okay Megan?”
This time I tried to not scream at Josh, it didn’t work very well but I tried not to. ”Why don’t you tell the teacher you hate her and don’t work well with her?! Wouldn’t that work!?” I screamed at him. To my surprise Josh didn’t seem all that surprised I started to scream at him. He looked more calm than shocked, “I’m sorry but I can’t tell the teacher that Megan. If you want to do something about this then you do it yourself, I have to get to school and help clean up the classrooms a little”
With Josh saying that, he left, he climbed out my window and ran off without saying goodbye or without giving me a kiss on the cheek.
As I sat upright in shock of what just happened I thought to myself, “Why was Josh defending Jenna? Does he like her? No, he shouldn’t like her, he said he would love me forever as long as I loved him forever” I wanted to know what was going on with Josh and Jenna. I got out of bed, got dressed, put my shoes on and ran out my door to try and get to school before Josh did, I thought it would be possible even thought he started heading to school 10 minutes before I did.
I got to school and checked my watch, I had gotten to school at 8 o’clock and I left and started running at 7:30. I couldn’t believe it took me 30 minutes to get to school when it probably took Josh only 10 or 20 minutes to get here considering he runs more than I do meaning he is more fit than me.
