The
Truth Behind a Smile #20 (this is the correct part, srry for the
mess-up guys)
I ran upstairs to get my bathing suit.
I found it under my bed... I misplace things a lot. I
rushed downstairs, in a hurry to get to Matt's. I kept wondering
the rest of the day what he had been about to say. If i hadn't
shoved him would he have told me?
"Macy, where are you going?" my dad asked me. I jumped,
not knowing he was there. Shouldn't he be at work? I let it go,
though something in my head told me something wasn't right.
"Im going to a friend's house. I'll be back by nine." I
opened the door.
"You came home around 11 last night."
"I know that."
"Don't you have homework?"
"STOP BEING THE FREAKIN CARING PARENT ALREADY! IM SICK OF IT!
LEAVE ME ALONE!" I shrieked. My dad looked somewhat offended
but i ignored him and ran outside. I sped out of the driveway and
went to Matt's. I shut off the engine and went to the door and
rang the doorbell. Hopefully Matt could hear me. I rang it again
and Matt opened it this time.
"Hey," I said. "What's up?"
"Been waiting for you to come." Matt was staring straight
into my eyes and it kind of freaked me out. I didn't meet his
stare. I'm not used to that kind of thing. That seems more...lovey
dovey. And we're just friends.
"Oh, well i'm here now," I said, not knowing what else to
say. Matt smiled. He took my arm and led me outside. I felt chills
go up and down my arm. Is that some sort of sign or something?
It was a really hot and humid day out, a great day for
swimming. Or being somewhere cool. And my house didn't have
air conditioning sadly. Matt slid his shirt off and i
gasped. I didn't see it last night since it was pitch black.
But gosh, he was jacked.
"I'm gonna, um, go change."
"Kay." I had to get away from him. Something
was happening between us. But i wasn't sure. I mean, if we
were good friends, you'd think he'd tell me what he'd been
about to say right? I couldnt stop coming back to that. It had
to be important. I slipped inside. I watched through the curtains
where he couldn't see me. I watched him do a perfect
dive into the water with barely a splash. I watched the way his
shaggy hair fell over his eyes. Things i'd never noticed
before. This couldn't be good, could not be good. I slapped
myself. He's your friend. Nothing else, I kept telling
myself. I found the bathroom. As quickly as possible,
I put on my bathing suit, which happened to be tankini.
Bikinis were too disgusting and over-rated. That's my opinion
though. I walked outside and to the diving board. I did a running
jump into the pool, not caring about grace or anything. And i
began to slowly forget everything that had bothered
me before.
-Sorry its taken so
long to write before! I couldn't think of what to write so
i bet you'd understand other writers out there on
witty!
