Medals for the Water

Chapter 6

Aaron's point of view

I laid in my bed replaying my night. My Best friend since childhood admitted she had feelings for me. It took me 6 years to tell her.

When I was 11, we were at the Aquarium with our families. The day trip consisted of bonding. We were looking at the shark exhibit. Amy and I both stood there in aw of the sight. I looked over at her. She had her eyes wide. Her hair was down and she was wearing jeans with a sweater and scarf. I Remember it like yesterday. When I saw her sparkling eyes watching the creatures I the water, I knew I liked her. Maybe even loved her.

Our moms were best friends in high school. They went to the same college opened up a pediatric office together and here we are today. Any and I grew up next door to eachother. Once I turned 13, I started playing football for the middle school. Amy became best friends with my sister and I became a football star. Of course go didn't know Amy Matthews. Amy and I were the talk of the town. She the Olympian and I the hiesman. I hated when she dated other guys. I was just jealous I guess but I didn't like other guys all over her.

We both stayed in somewhat close touch. But went out own ways. When she was a freshman we started hanging out more. I became really close with her brother and she and my sister were always hanging out. My older brother is in college soo..

As I threw the rubber football in the air as I laid in my bed my phone went off.

Amy: hey.. Just landed. No sleep and 1 hour until opening ceremonies.. Turn to NBC. <3

Haha, gotta love her. It's so weird us being together I mean 5 hours ago who would have guessed. Happened so fast.

Me: hey. Glad your okay. Wouldn't miss it for the world. Miss you.

Amy: miss you too. First night as a couple and we didn't even get dinner
