Second Time Around
[Sequel to
Taking Chances]
Part
One
He's coming.
He's coming. I kept saying in my mind
as I was walking down the hall. It was about
1:00 in the afternoon and I was getting ready
to see someone who always brings me
happiness.
A couple seconds passed and I finally spotted him out of the crowd. He was the tallest out of everyone. My heart started pounding. He was coming closer. Now's my chance. "Chase!" I yelled. He looked out into the crowd and spotted me. I ran over to him and pulled him close to me. Oh god. I thought. What am I doing? He looked down at me, and made a confused face. I pulled him closer and kissed him for dear life. He kissed back, while smiling against my lips. I held his hands and looked into his bright blue eyes. "I love you." I said. He smiled, brushed his pointer finger up against my face, and said "a2 + b2 = c2."
I suddenly snapped back into reality. I was daydreaming. I was sitting there, in math class with drool on my desk. I looked up at the board. Ah. a2 + b2 = c2. Mr.Kirtz was explaining the Pythagorean Therom. I looked around to see if anyone noticed the drool on my desk. Kirsten laughed at me. She knew what I was daydreaming about.
Sigh. I miss Chase more than ever. And ever since he left, All I ever think about is him. [Not much of a difference though..] It's been almost 2 years since he left. We never really talk anymore. The good news is, I eavesdropped on my mom when she was talking to her husband. (The stupid bald guy.) She said something about moving back to Florida. I'm hoping I can take Kirsten with me, too. It would be such a miracle if I moved back there. I could be in Chase's arms again. I know we both told each other that we probably weren't meant to be together, but I honestly think we're destined to be with each other forever. I may seem like a dumb teenager that's boy crazy, but I'm not. Plus, the only boy I'll ever be crazy about is Chase. Case closed.
Soon enough, It was the end of the day. I ran out of the classroom with Kirsten and Robby. We were laughing outrageously loud. Even after I broke up with Robby last year, we've gotten closer since Chase left.
All three of us always went on adventures together, and laughed at pretty much everything. We've done a lot of things since Chase left. Nobody ever talks about him in school anymore. It's almost like everyone forgot about him. He was pretty popular here. He was always the popular type.
Kirsten and Robby were cackling like idiots. I was giggling at the sounds of their stupidity. But I suddenly stopped laughing. I was staring out into the distance. Chase was standing at the entrance to the school. I started to speed-walk, and I could feel my heart racing. "Kaitlynn!" Kirsten yelled. "WHERE ARE YOU GOING? THE BUS IS THIS WAY!" She screamed. I ignored her. I started to run. Faster, and faster, I was getting closer. My heart was pounding in my ears, and my breath started to shorten. I didn't care. All I could hear was the pavement scraping up against the bottom of my Nikes. And all I could think of was Chase.
I was 3 feet away from where I thought he was. I stopped, and looked around. He wasn't there anymore. I started to cry. I was breaking down in front of people. Oh man, am I going insane? Kirsten dashed over to me, grabbed my arm with a firm grip, and dragged me onto the bus. While I was crying so hard. I was sobbing. Everyone was staring. I looked like a 3 year old that wasn't allowed to get a toy from Wal-Mart.
Embarrassing? I think so.
