MOON CHILD

The Awakening

It's Monday morning and I'm still in bed, just as the alarm clock breaks the seemingly perpetual silence brought to life by the most lustful dream I could ever have had, and the topic of this fantasy could only be the best two words every girl at boonling high had ever heard, Bobby Dieber, that was the name of the guy of whom I had spent most of, if not all of my freshman year till now thinking about, quite expected though, I wasn't exactly the physical specimen, I was quite fair skinned, and in no way tanned, I wore my long full locks of black hair down my shoulders like damp old drapes hung out to dry, always shabbily dressed as I wasn't really the "dress to impress" type of girl, or at least I had no one to impress at the time, so it was quite unlikely that a guy like Bobby would notice a pale little thing such as myself.
As that buggersome, broken, alarm clock rang like the wails of a screaming banshee, I hit it just enough to knock it over and stop that infernal noise. You see it was a gift from my mum, I would say the only memorable gift I got from her before she passed away a couple of years back. At first not being able to live with the fact that she was gone I cried my eyes out through the first four to six months of her passing, but later on I came to terms with the fact that she was gone for good. She left me in good hands though, my dad tom and I were the only ones living alone in our little house in Manhattan in the legendary big apple, "home of dreams" as they called it, I didn't see any thing so special about living in New York, little did I know that the greatest story ever to be told in the history of mankind's existence was just about to unravel in this business driven wasteland.
The 20 minute walk to school was one of the longest and most annoying moments of my life. Come to think of it, every walk I had taken to school had been the most annoying moment of my life. My life was a boring old routine which cycled around school and home, I hardly went anywhere cause I usually had no one to go out with.
But today, I told my self I was gonna finally break that routine. I was gonna finally talk to that dreamy boy who i had been crushing on since fourth grade, but probably didn't know I existed.
I got to school right on time just like I had been doing since forever, and I got that same weird look I get from everyone as I walked down the hallways of boonling high, but...that didn't bother me one bit, I was quite used to this reaction.
I was quite the timid person, but for some reason my self confidence was through the roof, was it that dream I had last night which made me so confident that what could turn out to be the worst and most stupid idea ever, had such a big chance of success?I didn't know why I was this confident but I was sure of one thing, I liked it.
Just then I turned around on hearing that particular laughter pattern as the guys of the football team marched down the hallway in their bright red jackets branded with the letters BW for "boonling wolves" boldly written on the chest area, and right there in the midst of all that laughter was "him", yea that's what I called him, anyway he was just standing there flashing that pretty boy smile he usually had on which could make any girl eat their own hair just to bask in that smile for a few seconds, his silky blonde hair which was like a river of golden threads all aligned in perfect harmony, and the final killer was those lovely, dreamy, blue eyes which lit up his face like a morning summer sun. He was tall and tanned with broad shoulders and such a muscular belly, you would want to rip off his shirt just to see how hunk he was.
I was clearly in love, I summoned up all the courage I could, and walked up right to him. Just as I was about to say "hello", I froze.
I know you might be wondering what got into me, I thought the same thing too, but I guess it was because in that moment"She" came in.
It was Kimberley Asher mostly known as Kim, for short, she was a tall, pretty, blonde haired slut who had had sex with almost every guy on the team, and yea, bobby's present girlfriend.
She just walked up to the guy of my dreams, engulfed his neck in her arms, and squished those disgusting lips of hers against his. He then wrapped his arms around her waist and returned the favor.
Watching them kiss felt like someone had just slowly driven a wooden stake right through my heart, and the strangest thing was the fact that I had seen this happen more than a dozen times but I never got affected the way I was this time.
Just in that moment Bobby noticed me right there in front of them, staring hard at them, and then he said:"um are you ok? Why are you staring?" As he asked that question his lovely eyes lit up and he had a little smirk slapped on that face of his. "Nnnothing" I said stuttering, just then the bell rang and I walked away as quickly as I could feeling as embarrassed as a girl my age could ever feel, I could hear them laughing behind me as I walked, this made me just walk even faster to get out of sight, but it was a long hallway and history class just happened to be at the very end of it.
