Sensational Wonders
Born 1997, F, from Tennessee, United States.jpg)
It was at dusk when I arrived at home. I slump through the door leaving the smell of spring outside. It is finally spring break and I am at the end of my sophomore year. I hear the telephone ring so I walk over and pick it up.
"Hello." I say, wondering if it is Austin. Austin is my absolute best friend. "Hey Lucy, me and Josie are going skating tonight, do you want to come? since it is the first week of spring break." it was him. "um, I don't know if I can, tin," I say as I look over at my drunken dad on the couch. Josie gets on the phone, "Oh come on lass do it for me will ya?" Josie is Austin's sister. Which is my other absolute best friend. "I have to take care of my dad and even if I did decide to come I would have to get ready." I say trying to make excuses not to go. "oh come on Lulu, please, I really have to talk and tell you something." he sounds so desperate so I can not ignore him as I was planning to do. I look at the clock above the kitchen sink and it says three thirty. "ok give me until six o clock and I'll meet you outside of my house." I say. I can hear Josie on the other end of the line squealing with excitement. I put a blanket over my father and run upstairs and get ready.
I left dad a note to make sure he knew were I was if he even woke up before I would get home. I walk outside when I hear Tin lay on the horn of his Dodge Charger. I hop into the back and we drive to the rink. When I get my skates on Tin pulls me off to the side. "Hey, there is my ex, can you hold my hand so I can make it clear I have moved on?" he asks with a sly smirk on his face. What in the world was he thinking? "No absolutey not, I will not let you use me like a towel. I am astonished that you would even think about saying that to me. Is this what you wanted to talk to me about so bad? Why would you drag me up here just to ask me that?" I was furious. I was also embarrassed that I blabbed on and on without a second thought. "Wait Lu, slow down, no I did not bring you up here for that. How silly of you to think so. I was merely just testing my boundaries. How long have we been friends Lu? eh, six maybe seven years. You know me better than that." He explained as my anger cools. My mother once told me that love lasts forever, even in friendship. "so what did you want to talk to me about Tin, now since you have me enkindled." I say. "Lucy Anne Marie, I want to confess something to you." He says. I nod my head for him to go on. "I love you with all of my heart, you are my best friend and I have not stopped thinking about you since I first saw you. I try and find ways to be with you. I know that you might not understand but....." He didn't finish his sentence before I said, "No Austin, I understand completely but, I am not sure you understand. I love you too, but only as a friend. I have never felt love, as I am afraid of ever feeling it. I have school to tend to before any silly relationships." I say. I had a feeling it would come to this. My face is more hot than ever of rage and anger. I put my brown hair in a pony tail and I skate by myself trying to think everything over. I sit down to tighten my skates and he sits next to me. The purple and blue walls make it look dark in here all except for the strobe lights on the skate floor. "Look, I'm sorry for what I said, I had no right to voice my opinion at the current time." this is his forgive me speech. "No you have every right to voice your opinion, I have no control over what you say. I must admit that I do have feelings for you too, you are my best friend and I would take a bullet for you, but I simply can not hold any kind of relationship right now." I try to explain to the best of my ability. He grabs my hand and we skate to a few songs. We arrived at my house and he walks me in. I see that my father is still asleep on the couch so I dispose of the note. We walk upstairs so that he can get the book "Sensational Wonders" that we are reading for our literature class. He left his in his locker. I hand the book to him and he grabs my hand. I pull my hand away and look into his light blue eyes of wonder. "Lu I know you feel the way I do, you just don't like to confess about it." He says. I know what he is trying to do, he is trying to make me "spill the beans" but I am not going to. "I do not have to confess anything to you, well you can obviously tell all over my face, my expressions do not try to hide." I say confusing myself. He grabs the side of my face, my heart skips beats. His hands are as soft as clouds on a cloudy day. He leans in and kisses me. I run my fingers through his blond hair. I kiss back as he runs his hands down my back. "No we mustn’t do this." I believe the only reason I kissed him back is because I wanted to get it over with so that he would leave. I am never comfortable in these situations. We are at the front door and he lets go of my hand slowly and says "You are just like this book, you are a very sensational person but you will not let anyone know anything about you, you like for people to wonder about you. You are also a very closed book with lock and key. And guess what sweetheart, I have the key." He kisses my hand and bids me farewell for the night. the last words he said to me were "amour dure toujours, même dans l'amitié" - Love lasts forever, even in friendship.
