after watching the goonies, lisa dripped me off at home. i didn't bother to ask her why she spent 2 hours standing behind a tree, my mind was occupied. she kept looking at me like she expected me to ask her, but i made a mental promise to ask her tomorrow. my mind was still having trouble fathoming how the corey haim remembers me from the 6th grade, i need to sleep on this, i thought. that night i explained every single detail of that night plus the thoughts floating through my head in my diary and put it back under my mattress, falling asleep with butterflies in my stomach.
the next morning
''how does it taste?'' my dad looked at me with hope filled eyes. i held the liquid under my tongue, ''iss gooth'' i said, almost gagging. ''good, it's a home made recipe'' he smiled walking away. once i heard the door close, i spit the mouth full out into the sink, and poured the rest of the smoothie down too. i walked quietly up the steps so that i didn't wake my siblings up. it's saturday and they like to sleep in, but i was always an early bird. when i reached my room, i grabbed the phone on my bed side table and sprawled myself across my bed laying on my stomach crossing my legs in the air. i dialed lisa's number in, it rang twice- ''hello?'' ''hi bestfriend'' ''oh, hey margot''. apparently she was behind the tree last night making out with river. the whole time she explained the situation i was just dazing off, slipping into a daydream. pretending that she was reading off the script to a movie, and i was her, and corey was river.
