the Wednesday girl- Demi Lovato

8

Reeka had wanted to walk home, last Wednesday, after she had told me her story. She said she could use the fresh air and since it wasn't snowing or raining, I decided that I wasn't gonna keep her from walking if she wanted to, as long as she texted me when she arrived, which she did.
I had then proceeded to look up what this chronic fatigue syndrome was, since I had never heard of it before, and everything started to make sense. She always looked so weak and tired, because she was weak and tired. She always looked so pale, because she was probably in constant pain. I didn't know exactly what her symptoms were, but Google said that possible symptoms were muscle pain, headaches, dizziness, and light headedness. I felt so bad for her, but I knew she didn't want me to treat her any differently because of this, so I decided to do the best I can not to think about it whenever I was with her so that it wouldn't effect my behaviour towards her.
I also felt myself falling faster and harder for her as the minutes passed. I just could not get her out of my mind. And I kept on waiting and hoping to see or hear from her again. I thought she was amazing, funny and super strong and I just wanted to be able to spend every day with her. That's besides the fact that she was very pretty. To me, at least. I knew she didn't think of herself as pretty and she didn't really like her body too much, but I thought she was beautiful. She didn't have the prettiest face I'd seen, but she was nothing even close to ugly and I thought she was beautiful. And she wasn't at all fat, but she did have some curves here and there. Yet it didn't make her any less attractive to me. So what her stomach wasn't completely flat? So what she didn't have a thigh gap? I loved every single part of her. Her funny, cute character, her incredible story and her strong personality just made me wanna spend every waking moment with her. She had the ability to make me smile, more then anyone had ever done before. Just thinking about her and picturing her face, made my heart leap in joy. Just thinking of her lovely voice and the next witty comment she'd make, made me giggle. And just thinking of the next time she'd hug me, made me yearn for her touch.
I knew I was a little crazy. There was still so much I didn't know about her. There was only so little time we'd spend together. I didn't even know this girl existed a few months ago and now not a second passed that she wasn't on my mind. And I could not understand how I'd lived my life without her.

It was Saturday night and after having spend the bigger part of the day with my family, I decided to roam around some stores before going home. I was just looking around, not looking for anything in particular, when I heard a very familiar high pitched voice talking. I couldn't place where I'd heard it before, though, so I looked up to see who it was. I had never seen this lady before, I was sure of that, but her voice was etched in my memory.

"Sure, Reeka, I'll pay for the dress, but you and Cece can pay for the rest. You're earning your own money now, I'm not gonna keep buying everything for you," she said to a red haired, freckled girl standing next to her. That's when I rememeber where I'd recognized the voice from. She sounded exactly like Reeka's aunt. And apparently she had a daughter named Reeka, too.
I quickly scanned my surrounding, trying to see if I could spot my Reeka anywhere and this was indeed the woman I'd heard on the phone or if it was just a coincidence, but I didn't see her anywhere. I sighed, as I turned around to continue roaming, but saw the red haired Reeka standing not too far away on the other side of me. I was confused as to how she got there so fast, so I turned back around to where I'd seen her before and saw her still standing there as she was handing her mother a dress, before making her way past me to who I assumed was Cece, her extremely identical twin sister. I smiled at the sight of the two young girls, who looked exactly the same, as I got closer to them trying to hear their conversation.

"Ma said she'll pay for the dress, we have to pay the rest," one of them, who I assumed was Reeka, said.

Cece nodded. "Okay, did you try it on, though?"
