6th grader in love with 7th grader

Just a Little Too Far Open

Day 5 (a Friday)

'Ring ring!' that's the noise I woke up to this morning. My first thought was,' damn alarm clock' then I thought ' wait, since when do I have an alarm clock?' I

grudgingly opened my eyes. Yesterday afternoon had been hard. I had come this close to getting my first kiss and my best friend ruined it for me. She still didn't

know what she had done. She didn't see I was about to kiss peter when she opened the curtains. And I didn't have the guts to bring it up. It was to painful too

remember being so close. I looked to the desk next to my bed and realized the ringing had been my cell phone. I snatched it up quickly as I could hoping that I

had not missed the call.

"Hello?" the voice on the line said uncertainly. After a moment I recognized it as Miranda.

"Oh, uh, hey..." I replied awkwardly," what's up?" Miranda rarely called so early, I guess it was about yesterday...

"Um... what happened yesterday? Why'd you get all pissed when I opened the curtains? Did I interrupt something....oh my god!!! Please tell that I

didn't walk in on what i think I'm thinking I did?!?!" she freaked out.

I nodded my head, then remembered I was on the phone and spoke," unfortunately it is what you're thinking, if you're thinking what I think you're

thinking."

"Oh shit!!! I'm thinking.... You were going to... kiss?..." she answered nervously.

"I'm thinking that I'm going to stop saying thinking, and yes."

"OH F*CK!!! I'm SO sorry!!!!!!" she cried, "you probably don't want me to come over this weekend now..."

I sighed. "It's fine, and of course I want you to come over."

"Are you sure?" she asked.

"Yes, I'm sure but I've got to go get ready for school okay? I'll see you I bit."

"Okay, bye."

"Bye." I sighed again and got out of bed to get ready for the day ahead.

School-I walked through the front doors and for ounce I didn't see Peter until I got to the courtyard.

"Um...hi?" Peter mumbled unsurely.

"Ha-ha, hi," I replied awkwardly.

"So...only 5 days of school left after today, well, technically three if you don't count weekends." peter said, looking in my eyes. I looked away.

"yeah I usually count the weekends too ha-ha," I laughed," yeah I'm happy but sad, I'm happy not to come to this hell hole for 2 and a half months but I'll miss...

uh...people..." I had almost said you.

He looked at me with a sideways smile," People? Like who?"

"Um you know...people like...you know...people..."

He laughed at my pathetic lie," yes well I'll miss 'people' too. You should come to my house again today."

My heart jumped and I probably went red, but to cover it up I said seriously," and you're sure there will be no closet incidents this time?" my false

seriousness cracked and I smiled.

He nodded and smiled ," I'm positive."

I pretended to consider it then answered," Sure I'll come,"
