Miles Away

Hey I'm Josh, yes we live in a world where people has numbers on there arms, No, it not a time to count how long we have to live. Surprisingly, those number indicates how far is our partner or lover. I know it sounds little bit crazy but hey at least our partner is forever, if you know what I mean. The numbers only appears when someone has a crush on you and you crush back that someone. But once the feeling is gone the numbers will be gone too.

So I'm here in a bus stop waiting for my friends Amber Adison and Wilson Matt these guys are so awesome. We 3 has same age 16, Amber my friend since elementary when we had this science pop quiz and she was so smart and kind so she helped me by cheating of course. And then we have Wilson my friend since kindergarten, he was being bullied by Mark Anderson and I fight back and got an black eye on that young age of mine. So while I was waiting for those two at the bus stop I my arm began to turn red, I don't know what's happened but I didn't mind it. Then I saw Amber and Wilson so I got up and went to them as we walk to school.

*School *
Girls screaming ""

Wilson: yes my pets come, come to me.
Did I forget mention Wilson here in school is popular with girls.
Amber noticed Wilson's arm and she said to me:  after 3 years in high school and being so popular with girls, Wilson's arm is still blank.
Me: Now that you mention it, your right.
Then we asked Wilson and his reply : guys admire and love is different. So that they love me but I know there love is just an admiration nothing more.
When Wilson said that to us we were stoned.

*Bell ring*
SCHOOL OVER
Amber : hmmm.. That was a hard test, right Josh?
Me: yeah, I studied last night I never expected the test would be hard like that.
Amber: no girls screaming today?
Me:hmm.. Where is Wilson?
Me and Amber looked around trying to find Wilson.
And finally we saw him at the back of the school. Secretly trying to reject one girl has possible. Then the girl cried but she said she won't stop admiring Wilson and then left. As we watch Wilson getting air me and Amber walk towards him and hugged him. Then Wilson said: who wants an hum burger?
So we all went to a near by fast food restaurant Burger King. We sit and enjoy our food and we talked.
*Minutes past*
Wilson: so guys any luck on that number of yours?
Amber: will my arm realy hurts its like there's someone writing on it
Wilson : heard to say, how about you Josh?
Josh :  well there is a red spot on my arm.
Amber: ohhh someone is getting the crushy.
Josh : shut up.

Then there it was a boy and a girl who had travel so far just to find one another and as they finally see each other they hugged and embrace each other. Then we all here inside the fast food restaurant gave them a big clap. And we all are happy for them.
Then Wilson said: imagine seeing your one and only.
Amber: yeah, that would be so romantic
Me: yeah sure..
As I look at my arm there was still a big red spot.

Wilson is still hungry so he ordered another burger as he was still in line me and Amber played a game could never have I ever. Then finally Wilson is at the counter but I noticed that his attitude and movements was like different when he was talking to the counter as I look the boy at the counter was James Jones, our batch mate. Then Wilson got his order and went back to our table. And his face was all blushed up.
Amber: what's with the face and smile?
Wilson: what? Oh.  It's.. Nothing
Amber : come on say it.
Wilson remains silent, but I notice his arms has a same red spot like mean.
So I asked: are you inlove? With a boy?
Wilson turned to pure red and said: NO!
Amber: Omy gosh your inlove with James Jones?!?
Wilson: hmm-- no...
Amber and I : Wilson..
Wilson: okay fine, I'm gay.
Me and Amber look at each other and smiled.
Wilson: your guys aren't mad and surprised?
Me: Wilson we are proud that you told us.
Amber: yeah, well I mean we are friends after all so we have to support each other.
Wilson: thanks guys, you guys are the best.
Then his arm became redder.
Me: wow, your arm has the same color like mine.
Wilson : yeah, I just hope John Jones likes me...
After a second his arm got a number 8ft. Away
Amber: hey Wilson looks like your arm got the answer.
Then Wilson looked at his arm and was so happy to see the number 8, as we turned around and looked at James, James looked at Wilson and showed his arm with a number 8 and Wilson showed his and they have the same number.
Wilson: guys you better go on home ahead I think I got a date.
Amber and I was so happy for Wilson so we went home.
Me: later son
Amber: see ta wil
Wilson: take care.

As me and amber walked towards home my arm was still red and it hurts, but I didn't mean it.
I took Amber home safely to make sure she's fine.
Amber: takes for they walk
Me: neh, no big deal, just hoping Wilson and James are doing great.
Amber: yeah, does two should be ready for there interview tomorrow.
Me: haha your right, well got to go see you tomorrow
Amber: see ya.

As Amber walked inside her house, I began to walk away, as a walk far away I looked at my arm to check my  red spot, I was shook and stond what I just saw.
I saw a number on my arm.

Me: what the fuck!
