Today is the day , it's the day of our high school reunion. I guess I will see him again but, it's fine it has been ten years, painful ten years to be exact. I don't know if I still like him, maybe I do maybe I don't, I guess I'll know when I see him, when I hear his voice again and when I his your smile for the first time since high school. People might say that it's nothing serious or that I shouldn't hope for too much but when you truly love someone you'll learn how to wait even if you're not sure if they're coming.
During high school I kept on hoping that one day he 'll come up to me tell me that he likes me, that he cares for me or even sees me more than a friend but sadly it didn't happen, until we graduated and went our separate ways. During college I tried liking other guys but, at the end of day I'd still go back to him. There is something about him that makes me fall every single time I try to forget. I can't say that I've moved on but I am trying.
My mind wandered back to where it all began, In 7th grade we weren't classmates yet, then he came into my classroom and asked for a piece of chalk, the first time I saw him, the way he spoke intrigued me , the way he stood , those little things bothered me the whole school year, then 8th grade came we were classmates at last! but, we didn't become close until the 9th grade, we went from strangers to friends and disappointingly it stopped there. Then the 10th grade came around, yes we were super close that time we chatted for hours , we talked a lot and with that things happening I kind of hoped that we could be more than friends until I found out that he liked someone else. It crushed me, it made me cry for weeks and it went to a point when I didn't even wanna see him. A few months after I kept telling myself that I have already moved on, that I don't like this guy any more. I tell everyone that its not him anymore and they believe it and sometimes even I do. that went on for a very long time I became very denial about the things between us. During grade 11 and 12 we went our separate ways and we haven't talked ever since the last day of our year 10...
"Anne!" He called me.
"Yes? do you need anything?" I answered sounding quite curious
"Nothing, just wanted to talk to you." He simply said.
"About what?" I asked, wanting to know more about where is this conversation headed.
"About you, leaving." He said.
Why did he bring this up again? He knows how hard it is for me to leave.
"Oh c'mon we've talked about this." I said.
"Just cant imagine life without you.." Thomas murmured.
His eyes met mine. For a moment I thought that he was gonna confess something I have been waiting for my whole life ,The emotions and feelings came back with in a snap but, I remembered that if I fall again I'd even cry harder when I leave. So I just made a joke out of it.
"Silly you! what are you talking about you've still got friends" I said, hoping that it sounded real
"yeah sure" He answered and I saw that there was disappointment in his eyes.
Was he trying say something? or he is just really sad that i'm leaving . I guess I 'll never know.
KRINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!
the sound of my phone snapped me out of my train of thoughts and I saw the time...
6:34pm , the reunion is at 7:00
"Oh Sh** I'm going to be late"
