Preface
I walk back to my room where my best friend Luke is already waiting. He and I have been best friends since we met at age 3. It has always been Luke and Christa otherwise known as Chris or Chrissy, Luke is the funny outgoing guy who is liked by everyone. I am the girl who can be crazy and hilarious around friends but you put me with people who aren’t my friends and I shut like a clam; suddenly becoming shy and nervous. So you see Luke is popular and I am always thought of as Luke’s best friend. People like me, I think. I mean I have a boyfriend, Ryan is not really popular, not that he needs to be, he is sweet, treats me right, and always makes me smile. He is handsome and comes from a good family, basically he is the perfect boyfriend, I don’t really know why he likes me though. I’m not pretty, I am tall and I guess I could be called skinny but not really really skinny just kind of normal skinny, I have long thick brown hair, and blue eyes. I’m nothing compared to the popular girls in our class, they are all super skinny, have perfect skin, beautiful hair and they giggle, all the time. Yet Ryan still likes me and only me, for some reason Luke doesn’t really like Ryan but he deals with the fact. It’s not like I let Ryan take away from Luke and Chrissy time. If anything it is him that let’s relationships get between our friendship. Right now Luke is dating Tina, who happens to be head cheerleader. I tried to be friendly with her but she would give me fake smiles infront of look and stared daggers at me when Luke wasn’t there. I don’t really see why Luke likes her but I guess I don’t really see why Luke spends time with me. I don’t think I Christa Connor would have a chance of being Luke’s friend if I hadn’t known him when I was younger. Luke and I were always friends and we soon had a group of friends of both genders all through elementary school and middle school. I still stick with those friends if I’m not with Luke. Luke on the other hand has been dragged, figuratively of course, into another group of friends, whenever he comes over to sit with our friends he is actually dragged away by one of his ‘new’ friends. His ‘new’ friends always have some excuse why they need to talk to him whether it’s a school project, planning for the school dance, or even that there is a soccer team meeting. Luke sees the best in everyone he always assumes that there is actually a reason he is needed over with his ‘new’ friends. Now that we are juniors in high school a lot of my friends, Luke’s old friends, kind of feel that Luke abandoned us. I always try to say that he doesn’t have a choice but I guess it’s not really my place to say, since we are best friends and neighbors I actually see him a lot not during the school day, which is when we used to hang out with what used to be our friends. SO here I was on a Friday night with my best friend talking about both of our favorite things, music.
“Chris? You have been standing in the doorway staring at the wall for 2 minutes are you ok?” Luke interrupts me from my thoughts. I shake myself and nod at him.
“Ya sorry I was just thinking.” I reply.
“About anything in particular?” He asks as he strums my guitar.
“Nope not really, I was just being weird and thinking about how I would introduce myself if I were a character in this book that is life.” I say winking at the end to show I was joking. Luke chuckles. “You have any new songs that you know how to play?” I ask sitting next to him and handing him the glass of water I had just gotten from the kitchen.
“No not really, I was more thinking about what songs I think you should learn to play, you have such an amazing voice Chris why don’t you show anyone but me? You should do the talent show!” he says. Luke is always trying to get me to perform in front of people but I never really have enough confidence to go in front of people and sing. I would love to be able to but alas no, it could never be.
“You know Luke that is a bit hypocritical considering you also should do the talent show to show people how amazing you are.” I retort back sitting down on the bean bag chair next to Luke.
“I can play guitar, that’s nothing special.” He replies looking down at the guitar.
“No you can also sing and it sounds beautiful! Why didn’t you ever tell me you could sing? The only time I have ever heard you sing is when you didn’t know I had entered the room yet. You sounded amazing!”
“I am not a good singer Chrissy you must have just been surprised I was singing at all.”
“Well I am not doing the talent show if you aren’t”
“Fine neither of us will do the talent show.” He replies. “But if you did play a song it should be you should play Teardrops on My Guitar by Taylor Swift, you always sound so amazing when you sing that.” I just roll my eyes at him and he sends me a smile.
“How about we stop talking about the talent show and we just listen to music and talk?” I ask grabbing my Ipod touch. I know, I know I don’t have an iPhone if it was my choice I would but no my parents decided I had an iPod so that I didn’t need a iPhone.
“Ok.” Luke replies looking at something on his iPhone. I open my music but then my iPod stops its frozen and all black except for the very top of the screen where it says Taylor Swift Playlist.
“What the heck?” I screech. My iPod is my baby! How will I listen to music? How will I play angry birds?
“What’s wrong Chris?” Luke says jumping up and looking around as if there might be a murderer in this very room.
“My IPod is broken it isn’t even turning off!”
“Dang Chris! I thought there was actually an emergency!”
“It is an emergency how will I be able to listen to my music?” I say. I am not joking around here this is serious stuff.
“Maybe you will actually take the time to learn how to put music onto your phone. You have a droid I know it’s possible.” He responds.
“What about my angry birds?!” Luke just shakes his head at me.
“How about this Chrissy, why don’t you plug your iPod in and just leave it charging and we will listen to my music today?” He replies as if speaking to a 5 year old not a 16 year old.
“Fine.” I say but that doesn’t keep me from pouting.
“Good.” Luke says before plugging in his iPhone.
