- Married in High School? - Chapter Twenty-Three "Mom, Dad, this is Olivia. Olivia, these are my parents, Margaret and Steve," he said, as I shook hand with his parents. "It's nice to meet you Mrs. and Mr. Harrison." I know what you're thinking, Collin and I have been together for two years, but we had only been seriously dating for the past year, so I had met his parents in passing, but not formally like this. "Oh call me Margaret dear," his mother said, smiling at me. She had dark hair, and kind eyes with the wrinkled edges. She seemed really nice. "And I'm Steve," his father said, shaking my hand as well. It had snow white hair, but a young face. He was taller than Collin, who must get his height from his mother's side. It was a normal dinner with normal food, chicken and broccoli and rice. I was grilled with the usual questions from the parents: "Do you like school? What do you want to do after you graduate? Do you have a job?" et cetera et cetera. The highlight of the evening was going out to icecream with Collin after that. "I'm sorry, but that cake tasted like cardboard," he laughed, referring to the cake his mother served as dessert. "I didn't want to be rude so I took some," I giggled. "Do you think they liked me?" I asked quietly, almost hesitant to ask. Collin took a turn, almost to the icecream place. "Of course they did babe," he pulled into the parking spot. "And even if they didn't, I love you, and that's all that matters." We smiled at each other, before I leaned in for a kiss. We got our usuals, moosetracks for me, coffee oreo for Collin. I tried to pay, but Collin insisted that he would. I appreciated that he wanted to be a gentleman and pay for everything, but I wish he would let me pay for the little things. That's why I usually got him a coffee when I was driving over to see him. Behind the building were some picnick benches and we sat down, facing each other. We talked about the weather, about school, about random things. The sun was just starting to set, and it was breathtakingly beautiful. "Have you heard the sailor's saying?" Collin asked me, and I shook my head. "Red sky at night, sailor's delight. Red sky in the morning, sailor's warning." "I guess it's full speed ahead captain," I smiled, and he laughed. "Full speed ahead first mate." We were quiet for a while, before Collin started to fill the silence again. "We should go see the sunrise sometime, on the beach. How awesome would that be?" "That's a great idea!" I said, and in my excitment I flung icecream at myself. "Oops," I giggled. "I'll be right back." I walked quickly around to the front side of the building to get some napkins, and I nearly ran into Jesse. "Hey princess, watch where you're going," he teased, laughing. "Sorry Jesse," I smiled, trying to make it a friendly smile instead of a flirty smile. I walked by him to grab the napkins and he turned towards me. "Hey I was thinking we could do something tomorrow, maybe catch a movie or grab something to eat," he suggested, trying to sound casual. "I'm actually working tomorrow at the daycare," I lied, trying to avoid his gaze. I didn't want to lead him on, and going on a date was definitely going in the wrong direction. "Oh cool, what about now? What are you doing?" "Eating icecream," I laughed awkwardly, and he shook his head. "I mean after this," he laughed. "I'm...I'm here with-" "Hey, did you get lost?" I heard Collin's voice behind me. I saw a brief flicker of hurt in Jesse's eyes before I turned to Collin. "Hey I ran into Jesse. We're paired for the marriage...thing." I finished lamely, because I knew they were sizing each other and not paying attention to me. I put my hand on Collin's arm to get his attention. "Collin, this is Jesse, Jesse this is Collin," I said introducing them. "Hey man," Collin said, holding out his hand. "Nice to meet you." "You too," Jesse said, and then cleared his throat. "I should probably get going, see you later." He turned and left quickly. I shook my head, not knowing what to do with either of them. Feedback????
- Married in High School? - Chapter Twenty-Four It was funny to tease Collin about Jesse asking me to the dance until it actually happened. The Wednesday after Thanksgiving Break, we had worked at the hospital and we were on our way back to the school where my car was. It was quiet, the music was playing softly in the background. Jesse cleared his throat and my thoughts were redirected on him. "So, are you going to the Winter Ball?" He clearly doesn't beat around the bush. "Uh, yeah, I'm probably going dress shopping with Lila on Friday." "Why so soon?" "Well the dance is a week from friday, and we need to coordinate colors with our dates, gets accesories, et cetera." He nodded his head, and I knew he was thinking. I stayed quiet, we were only a minute away from the school. The tension was looming over our heads as he parked next to my car. I knew what the next question would be, and I didn't want to answer it. "Who are you going to coordinate colors with?" "I'm going with Collin, Jesse. I'm going with Collin, because he's my boyfriend, and I love him." This was it, the grand speech I had been planning for weeks. I turned to look at him directly. "I'm glad that we were paired, because you've taught me not to judge people based on rumors, and I appreciate that. You're a really great guy, but I have a boyfriend, and I'm not interested....in changing that right now." He sighed and looked away. "I'm really sorry Jesse. I never meant to hurt you." "Ahh!" he yelled, slamming his hand down on the steering wheel. I jumped, a little afraid, "I think I should go-" "No," he said grabbing my arm. "I'm sorry, I'm just frusterated. How do you not see it? You spend more time with me than him, Olivia. What does that say?" "That you're my partner for a required project, and we've had to work on it. Since school comes first, Collin and I haven't seen each a lot lately." "That's bullshit. You haven't seen him because you feel something between us too. There's no way you haven't." "I haven't Jesse, because I have a boyfriend. I've only felt that we've been friends." Suddenly he leaned over, and was very very close to me. "Tell me you don't feel something right now," he whispered, staring into my eyes. I was frozen, I couldn't move. I gulped, "the only thing I feel is you in my personal space." "You're lying, I can tell. Because I know you better than you know yourself," He whispered, and then he closed that inch of space between us. It took my brain a few minutes to realize what had happened. Jesse had kissed me.

- We met in kindergarten. We were best friends. She always told me she loved my eyes. I didn't quite know why. I was in love with her, so of course my face lit up immensely whenever she said it. She was beautiful, kind, and extremely funny. We'd be talking about nothing, and she'd turn to me and whisper, "I like your eyes." One day, I was playing basketball, waiting for her to drive over to my house to have a game with me. Suddenly, I got a phone call. It was her mom. She was in a panic. I couldn't quite understand what she was saying. It sounded like, "Aaron, come quick! Kelsey, accident, Main Street! Blood. Come now!" I had no clue what happened, so I ran to Main Street with my basketball shorts and a tee shirt on. I saw Kelsey's mom helplessly crying, waiting for the ambulance to arrive. I saw a totaled car, blood everywhere. Then I saw her, Kelsey. My heart stopped as I frantically ran over to her. "Kelsey? Kelsey!" She was unconscious. I started crying. I know it isn't very manly, but I couldn't help it. Before I could say anymore, the medics took her away, the main source of blood coming from her head. I went to the hospital that night, I went every night. in fact, the only time I left was to go out to eat, but that's it. The doctors tried getting me to leave, but I refused. It was all my fault. If it wasn't for me, wanting to play basketball with her, she wouldn't be going through this. It was already four days, and she hasn't woken up. On the fifth day, I saw her eyes gently open. "Kelsey?" I called. She wasn't quite awake yet. Suddenly, doctors came rushing in, telling me I had to wait outside. I did, for a few hours. One of the doctors finally came out saying, "I understand that you're Kelsey's friend, Aaron?" "Yes," I whispered. He bit his lip. "She woke up, she's fine, but I'm afraid she has long term memory loss." "Are you serious?" I almost shouted. "I'm afraid so." I didn't meet his gaze. I couldn't. I wasn't going to say anything, so he spoke again. "You can go see her if you want, but she doesn't remember anything, not even her mom." I walked in, trembling in horror. I saw her. She looked helpless as she slept. I waited a few hours, until I saw her eyes opening gently again. I expected doctors to run in, rushing me out. Instead, she looked me straight in the eyes, and whispered, "I don't know you, but I like your eyes."
