It was really hot inside my room. I walked over to my window to let a cool breeze in but it was just more heat. It felt so suffocating in my room, I felt like I was running out of air. Sweat was starting to build up on my skin, so I went to go grab a towel. As I wiped off the disgusting sweat, I went to the freezer to get some ice cream. Just the feeling of holding the box made me feel so nice and cool. "Mmm... Cookies and cream are my favorite!" I opened the box and scooped some ice cream into a bowl. I went to the living room and sat on the couch eating my dessert. Maybe I should go outside today, and get some fresh air. Before I got ready, I took a quick shower to wash off the odor of the sweat.
"What shall I wear today? Since it's hot outside, perhaps I should wear something loose and free. Oh, sweat pants would be nice! Wait, never mind. I'll be even hotter in them... Maybe short shorts, a white crop top, and a red and black plaid cardigan for my waist would be good." That was my signature outfit. When I finished getting ready, I grabbed my bag and put on some make up. Slipping on my black KEDS, I looked around for my iPod and the new book I was reading, The Fault in Our Stars. I know, I'm so late, but after I watched the movie, I understood the meaning of true love. You know you're in love, when you feel as if there's infinity between you two, like you'll last forever and nothing can separate you. Why date so many guys... When you could just be waiting for... the one? Besides, they say patience is the key to love anyways, isn't it? I know the story has nothing to do with whatever I was thinking, but it at least got my thoughts going. I've never witnessed love before, not even family wise, but I always felt like I would never know when it would come to me. Maybe it might not come to me, but I need to wait and see. Sometimes I believed Jacob was the one, but other times, I thought he just came into my life as a coincidence.
I was already halfway to the park by now. I was listening to Black Widow by Iggy Azalea ft. Rita Ora. This song was honestly life to me at the moment. Every verse or chorus the two girls sang, I'd always say "Preach it girl." I had the urge to start dancing on the middle of the street, but that was too embarrassing. Not like I haven't embarrassed myself enough after Jacob came. By the time the song was over, I was on the path to my favorite tree spot. This tree was probably one of my best friends, plus I even named it. I called her Rosie because it was like my name. I was in grade 3 when I gave her the name, so you really can't blame me for what I chose. I sat under Rosie, as her branches full of pure green leaves blocked the sun, covering me with shade. I took out my book and began to read, listening to some music as well. I took a break every once in awhile to stare at the scenery of the park. There was a water fountain in a shape of Mickey Mouse. I honestly thought that was the coolest thing in the park, probably why the place was called Disney Park, but Mickey was the only thing here that was even apart of Disney. I watched as little kids played in the nearby water park, throwing water balloons and spraying each other with water guns. My eyes landed on a nearby couple walking to sit on a bench. They were old people, and they were holding hands that never let go of each other. I thought it was adorable, like they had infinity. Spending their whole lives together was just something I wanted to do with my love as well. It was romantic, and was the definition of finding your only one.
As I kept watching the old couple, I saw an older guy jogging from the other side of the park. He wasn't like an adult, but more like a teenager. I squinted my eyes more and when I recognized his basketball shorts, I knew who it was. Jacob, again, out of the flesh. Why does he keep doing that? He just keeps coming back. My jaw dropped as my eyes widened, and I stood up to hide on the other side of Rosie. He was coming my way, but I'm pretty sure he hadn't noticed me. I kept taking quick looks to see if he was getting closer, and he definitely was. I tried hiding my entire body behind Rosie, praying that he'd probably take a turn to go another direction.
"Rose, I see you hiding behind that tree. Come out..." His voice sounded annoyed, as if he was mad at me, but I wouldn't blame him if he was.
"Who's Rose?"
