We walked up to the school and headed for the gym where they had everything set up. Sky Met up with Logan and Azlyn met up wiht Ashley. I just walked in and went to get something to drink. I looked around and everyone was having a lot of fun. There was nice music playing and couples dancing, I saw logan and Sky dancing together and she was so happy. Plus she looked so beautiful in the dress she was wearing. Logan was lucky to have my best friend and he treats her right. I was so happy for her that her night was going well. Then i looked over and Azlyn and Ashley were dancing. Azlyn was never accepted by her family and had a hard time through middle school when i met her. From being shoved into lockers or being shoved down the stair. Let alone she was bullied all the time and went home crying a lot. Ashley on the other hand was pretty chill in middle school and had lots of friends but her family didn't like her either. She had tons of fights with her dad becasue of her dads girlfriend and her mum constatly kicked her out of the house and she had no where to turn. They were also having a good time, but i left one person out. Logan... he had troubles at home with his mum, she never let him express himself and she was just a flat out bitch but i don't know much about his dad, i never asked. Skylat always told me i made friends with the trouble kids, which she was right. Almost all my friends had a horrid childhood or just had troubles at home, but i have always guess that i canjust relate to them easier and thats why my friends are the "troubled kids". As i glanced around i saw so many other girls having a wonderful night with their boyfriends and saw some of my friends just chilling with each other. They were all having a nice time but i just stayed back and watched, i was never one to through myself out their. As i sat back and watched i saw how teenage drama unfolded. Some guys jealous of their exgirlfriends new boyfriend or some girls jealous of their exboyfriends new girlfriend and some couples getting in fights. Drama that i never liked. Watchign couples fight always hurt me inside and brought back flashbacks of crying in a cornor listening to mummy and daddy fight. I turned my head away and one guy walked up to me. An old childhood friend, Andrew. He just recently transfered to our school and i talked to him for a few minutes one day but he really didn't remember me until i showed him old photos of us when we were little.
"Jaz, you look stunning tonight.' He said with a warming smile. "Thanks, been a long time since you saw me anyway." "I know, I got a question for you." "Yeah?" "would you join me for a dance, as old friends?" he asked shyly. "Yes i would." He grabbed my hand and lead me out to the dance floor. Skylar watched me walk onto the dance floor and shouted, "Way to go Jaz!" I blushed a little because she knows I always liked him since we were really little from the fant memories i could remember. As the night carried on we danced and laughed at old memories we had from when we were little as i reminded him of what we use to do. "Do you remember that one time the kitty pool at my birthday party broke and i chased you around my back yard with a plastic bat yelling 'YOU RUINED MY BIRTHDAY PARTY', do you remember that one?" I said chuckling. "Wait that was at your birthday party? I always thought that was at Rebecca's" "No, that was mine." I said smiling. "haha, I thought you were going to kill me!" "Well now i probaly would, I tend to want to kill people." "Uh-oh, are you gonna kill me now???" "No! You're my friend, i won't hurt you." "Okay, good." I smiled and the night seemed to going better.
We got off the dance floor and talked for awhile and caught up from the last time we saw each other when we were six. The night wnet by slow and it was nice having fun with an old friend. As the night calmed down and people were going home i figured out Andrew lived a couple streets over from me. "Would you like me to walk you home?" he asked with a smile. "Yeah.. that would be nice." I took off my heels because they were killing my feet. I held them in one hand and he grabbed my other hand. Even though we havent seen each other in a long time, our friend ship was still their.
When we got to my front door i gave him a kiss on the cheek and headed in doors. He walked to the back of my house and called my phone. I picked it up. "Hey, you forgot something." I looked out my window and he was holding up a rose. I went back downstairs and he was waiting outside my door for me. I smiled at him. "Has any guy ever told you, you have a beautiful smile?" He said as he was putting the rose in my hair. I started to blush. We just met back up after 10 years and i was falling for him. I went to give him a hug and then looked up at him. "Will you be mine?" He asked me. I kissed him. "How is that for an answer?" "I'll take that as a yes." I had a huge smile on my face and was blushing, my night went way better than planned. "Want to go do something tomorrow?" He asked. "What you got in mind?" "I don't know, maybe a nice long walk through the Manchester Park?" "That sounds good to me." "Alright then, see you around nine in the morning and we can go for a morning walk in the nice cool air." "Okay." He gave me a kiss goodnight and i went back up stairs to my room. I gave out a small squeal after i got in my room. "God i sound like a girly girl!" I muttered under my breath. I took the rose out of my hair and tucked it behind my mirror and took down my hair. Threw my heels in my closet and changed into sweat pants and a tang top and took off my make-up. I walked over to my dest and mum had already set my letter from Ryan on my dest. I grabbed it and laid on my bed and started to read it. Plans had change, he wasn't coming home till December now. I sighed to hear the news but he told me not to worry, he'd be home. He taped a bracelet to the letter. It was the friendship bracelet i made him when i was twelve. Under were he taped it he wrote. "Hold on tight to this for me, for now. Keep it with you and I'll always be with you. I still never lost it. I'll be back before you know it, until then, I love you and hope to hear back from you soon."
I looked at the bracelet and it was faded slightly. I slipped it on my wrist and looked at it again. "I miss him..." I thought while looking at it. I put the letter with the rest, in the shoe box, turned off my light and went to bed. When i went to put my hand under my pillow, i smelt a familiar cologne. I smelt the bracelet an he put some of his cologne on it for me. "Keep surprising me." I thought smiling.
The next morning came and my alarm went off at seven thirty and i got up and took a shower. I put on a pair of jeans with holes in them, a black t-shirt and a little bit of make-up. Eight thirty came and i was ready. While i was waiting for Andrew i sat at my desk and wrote Ryan a letter. After i was done, i was just waiting on Andrew. Nine o'clock hit and he was on time. I walked downstairs and headed out the door. The park was just up the street so we walked. As i got to the end of my driveway i slipped to letter into the mailbox. "What was that for?" He asked. "Just a letter for a friend in the army." "Oh, must miss her." "Him, i miss him." "Oh..." I grabbed his hand an he let go of it and wrapped his arm around my waist. I smiled and we continued our walk to the park.
A nice bricked walk way with fields of healthy green grass lined with flowers on either side of the walk way. Little kids running in the fields and dogs chasing sticks. It was a nice Saturday morning. Their was a small breeze that flowed through my hair and my eyes started to glow a soft red. It was a lovely day and a great way to start of a new, fresh relationship. We chatted as we walked and he found out what i was into now and new thinks i liked. "You are so not that little girly girl you use to be." He said laughing. "I know, that little girl turned into me now, most my friends now that didn't know me from when i was little, would never believe i use to like dresses and wear pink and had a pink and purple room." i said giggling. "Yeah, but i like who you are now, more laid back and chill and not uptight and preppy." "I know!" "What ever happened to you figure skating?" "I quit, how bout you and hockey?" "On and off of teams." As noon came around and we were on our third time walking around the park, we stopped at a hotdog stand and he bought us hotdogs. "I hope you don't mind." "Andrew, chill, buying me a hotdog won't make me like you anyless." I told him smiling. We sat down on a bench and ate our lunch. "Besides, i like hotdogs." "Ok, good" he said with a smile. After we finished our lunch we walked through the park one last time and we were heading back to my house. "Would you like to chill at my place for the day?" "Yeah, i got till four till my mom goes to work, then gotta take care of the little ones." "Okay." We got back to my place and went up to my room and laid on my bed, listening to music and talking. Four came around and i was sad that he had to go home, but luckily he only lived three streets over. "I'll see you tomorrow?" I asked. "You are welcomed to come over as early as ten tomorrow if you would like." "Sounds good to me. See you later." He gave me a kiss goodbye and he walked back to him house. "Today went great!" I said thinking in my head
