Her by Me March 16th
All of a sudden I forgot who I was. I didn’t want anything but to know who I was. But I was more confused by the fact that this one girl didn’t like me and I was ready to change myself. But she didn’t know me. I would never just change for anyone and I didn’t know why I was going to do it for this one person. Did I love her? That’s impossible we’ve never even formally mate unless you count smiling from across a room. She only knows me from want her friends tell her about me. But can you love someone just for who they are? Maybe I loved her like a sister. My whole life I’ve always wanted to be a perfect brother. Be who my sister’s wanted me be to. I remember when I was small if I did something or acted like something stupid or something they didn’t like, they would ignore me for weeks. Pretend I wasn’t there and that would annoy be so much because all I wanted was their love. This girl wasn’t like anyone I’ve ever met. She was beautiful and smart. Funny and caring. Determined and willing. She was everything you wanted in a girl, in a sister. Her eyes were true and when she looked at you she would really look into your eyes. When she smiles, she would make the whole world smile back. Her body was perfect with all the right curves in all the right places. I wanted her to talk to me. I wanted her to know me. I wanted her to like me. I wanted her. Every time she was around me I would try to go up to her and she would see me and smile, but than one of her friends would just but in and I wouldn’t get my chance. I felt like she wanted to talk to me, but being the boy in this whole situation I obviously had to make the first move. What could I do?
One night I was so depressed about not being with her, my friends took me out to a nightclub. I really didn’t feel like going but I also didn’t want to stay at home, where I would probably be constantly reminded of how much I wanted her. We enter the nightclub and I’m looking around just to see who’s here tonight. And than across the room at a 35-degree angle, I see her. She looked so beautiful. Than I saw her friend, and I knew I should given up right there and than. So my friends bought me a drink and tried to find other girls for me to talk to but I didn’t want anyone else but her. I tried really hard not to look at her because I knew it would make me more depressed. But once and I while I would look in her direction to make sure their was no other guy going her way, because I told myself if I saw one I would jump in front of him before he could even get a word in. Next thing I knew, I was being a wingman for my best friend Paul. He also really liked this girl but he had the guts to talk to her. Than one minute we are talking about how good Paul is at football, the next their making out right in front of me I needed to get out. I couldn’t take being alone in a room where no one was alone but me. I started walking towards the door. Ready to leave. But someone stop me in my path. I couldn’t see who it is because it was the climax of the song and most of the lights were down. “Hey! Want to dance?” the person in front of me asks. I was waiting for the light to turn on so I could know who it was before I answer. All I knew was it was a girl, but what girl. When the lights were about to come on she took my hand and brought me to the dance floor. It was her. I couldn’t believe it. What was happening? We dance for three songs straight. Her body against mines the whole time. From looking at each other to her back again my chest. I was so happy that we finally met. I tried really hard to focus on dancing and trying to remember every single part of it. Finally I got the nerves to say; “Hey want to get some air.” She just smiled and nodded. Now it was my turn. I took her soft hand and started walking towards the door. I didn’t care about what her friends were probably telling her and I didn’t look at my friends because they would make me laugh. I had her with me right know in my hands and I knew she wasn’t going anywhere. When we got outside we walk around the block a little to be able to hear each other. When I finally faced her she was still smiling. She was so beautiful. I was so grateful for the occasional wind so I could smell her perfume. “I don’t think we’ve properly met. I’m Luke.” I tried so hard to stay cool and know exactly what I was doing. “I’m July.” We started talking about basic topics. Where do you go to school? What grade? How old are you? Any siblings? Any animals? Than she said than we better get back inside before our friends start to worry. So we exchanged numbers and promised that we would hangout. She started walking towards the door. “July, wait.” She turned around and I pulled her close against my body. She was a perfect height compared to me, because our lips where not far from each other. I looked into her eye and she looked into mine. We were going to kiss I knew it and I couldn’t stop smiling and neither could her. But I couldn’t look away from her eyes. Than, she kissed me. It took me by surprise at first, but than I knew what was going on and starting kissing back. It was everything I imagined it would be. When she finally pulled away, even though I knew she didn’t want to and she knew I didn’t either, we walked back in the nightclub hand in hand smiling like crazy. It was the best night I could image.
