What happened to forever

Chapter one

Why does this always happen? Why do I always do this? Why does forever always seem to dissipate so fast? Why do I always let myself fall in well, you know. When we were together everything was absolutely perfect. It felt like nothing could ruin it until something did. I let myself fall in love with him and he did the same to me. We saved each other from the world that always tried to bring us down. We faced our problems together, we were inseparable. He changed me I was a over achieving, big headed, stuck up, pretentious, boring individual. He turned me into a care free, fun loving person.

When I first met him I was the age of 16 and just getting over a heartbreak. When he saw me he could tell that I was vulnerable and depressed. He came over to my steel colored locker. As he was coming over to my locker he did not see the wet floor sign and he slipped and fell. I almost bursted out laughing but, I didn't want to make him feel bad so I just pretended that I didn't notice.

He said "Hi my name is Nate"

I said "Why do I care"

Nate said "You should care because I'm going to be the one to care about you"

I said "That's creepy but, sweet my name is Kendal"

Nate replied "Would you like to spend an evening with a strapping young man."

I said "I don't know about strapping but, the evening part I will agree with"

Nate said "I will see you then is tomorrow at seven okay"

I replied "That sounds wonderful"

I contemplated with myself that night wondering am I ready to have a relationship after what happened with my last one. I was gonna try it though maybe dating someone could take my mind off of the heartbreak that my ex Jason brought upon me. I decided I couldn't make the decision whether to go or not so I called up one of my friends for her opinion. I called up Marie she always has the best advice she's always there for me.

I said "Hi Marie what's up"

She said "Nothing just studying"

I said "I need you're opinion on something"

She said "Don't tell me you wanna get back with Jason"

I said "No actually the total opposite I'm wondering if you think it's a bad idea to go on a date tomorrow"

She replied "Absolutely not go for it"

I replied "Really? You think"

She said " Yes now I'm hanging up with you because I don't want you second guessing yourself"

With that the conversation was over. I made up my mind after the brief phone call. I wondered if I should call one of my other friends like Lauren or Lexi maybe even Louise. Then I said to myself nah because I was exhausted. As I threw my body back onto my new bed set from Vera Bradley I realized there was free dress tomorrow. That meant I could wear normal clothes to school tomorrow instead of my LatSaller uniform. My uniform consisted of a gray pleated skirt with a choice of a blue or white button up shirt. I had to pick out my outfit for tomorrow, we get free dress tomorrow because it is the first day of April. We get free dress every first of the month. I went on my iPad and checked the weather forecast for tomorrow. The weather man forecasted 76 degree weather in Southern California which is where I was. I picked out my outfit it was a khaki colored pair of shorts a navy blue sweater with a sail boat. My mother bought it for me yesterday from Vineyard Vines. I always loved that look of a sweater with shorts. After that dilemma was solved I finally could get ready for bed. I had a bedtime routine first, I would brush my teeth then, I would wash my face with my Clearasil grapefruit scented acne wash. As I applied the wash to my face a strange feeling came upon me it was the feeling of what seemed to be nervousness. I was nervous for my date tomorrow it would be the first date in a long time. my ex Jason and I dated for two years we broke up only two weeks ago. The wounds he left me with still weren't done healing yet. I can only hope that this date can help to bandage up the wounds. Finally I could sleep as I put my head down on my pillow I realized just how soon I would be on a date with Nate.
