The One?

Chapter One Mckenna

"Forget the past let's make a future, for there's no better time than the present." I said in my mind.
I struggled to come up with something clever to say to her, does she even like these kinds of things? So many questions filled my mind as they were all constantly flushed out by her heavenly persona. It's funny because we don't even know each other but it feels as if that doesn't matter. Lust or love? The question be dumbed me more now than ever.

It started as a normal day as a freshman in high school. People seeing new students going to their new classes, adapting to all the new changes. The only thing that was out of the ordinary was that my third period teacher was still out enjoying his summer vacation. We were happy because that meant we got to go in the gym and socialize and play basketball and numerous other things.

As I'm sitting talking to a friend a girl comes up to me and asks, " hey, wanna play knockout?"
Me not knowing who she was immediately answered saying, " No." She continues to try and get me to join her so I came up with the excuse that I couldn't shoot a basketball to save my life. After hearing that she let me be. Minutes later totally forgetting my conversation with her, I get up and start to play basketball to kill time. She notices and comes up to me saying, " I thought you couldn't play basketball" knowing I lied to her I told her,
" I'll  play you in knockout to make up for it."

When the bell rang ending one of the most exciting games of knockout I'd ever played I agreed to walk the girl to lunch where we formally introduced ourselves and she met my friends. We talked the entire lunch. Our friends hadn't noticed what was happening and neither did we...

After lunch had ended I walked her to her next class where we exchanged numbers. I asked her what her seventh period was so I could see her at the end of the day.

After school we proceeded to talk and I walked her to her mom. Before I left she told me I'll text you. After I left school campus she immediately texted me, which made me really happy not gonna lie.

After texting for hours she'd proceeded to ask me the most presumptuous question I'd ever heard... " you do like me right?" She asked as if I hadn't made it clear enough that after today I was sure I  had feeling for her. I told her that I wasn't allowed to date until I was eighteen and she told me it was the same for her. So we came to the conclusion that we should just " TALK" as my generation calls it.

After Talking for about two weeks we became closer and like always people noticed and started asking questions... correction question... the same question. " Do y'all go out?" At first I used it as a opportunity to see if she'd liked me enough to even be in a relationship with me but she always answered with a smile.

Days later we started hugging and became one of the most favored and well known couples in the school even though we were technically still just " TALKING"

After continuing our relationship for about another 2 weeks or so things weren't going anywhere they were great but not what I was hoping. After getting cheated on in my last relationship I was ready to get back into action feel comfortable and stuff, we just weren't at that stage yet. Our relationship became boring so I started to tell her things like I used to do this and this with my ex to see her reaction but they were lies and since she told me she didn't care about my past and that she only wanted me for who I am now I couldn't tell her it was a joke so I let her believe a lot of lies.

More weeks went pass and thing got better we started kissing which was great but she pointed out something to me when ever we take that next step, it's going to get boring and we were gonna want to step again and again. The more we did the more we wanted. However things stopped getting so perfect. I started messing up saying things out of emotions and hurting her feelings. Doing her dirty. We started arguing a lot, we even went days without talking to each other. ( by the way, those were painful ) but nothing was as painful as the day I lost her.

We were doing one of those thing where we wouldn't talk to each other for days at a time except for this time I hadn't talk to her for almost two weeks if not so. I was at the recreational center with some of our friends. A close friend of mine named Ayeka told me that I should apologize to her and tell her that I still want to be with her before it's too late. My stubborn self procrastinated but little did I know it was already too late. She had lost feelings for me and told me that over Imessages. Later we began to talk about who she likes now and not only was I offended by who she started liking I became what you could call zealous. I said things about him that I shouldn't have said he didn't disrespect me at all. I wish I could go back and change things... well... I wish(ED).
