Okay... so I went to Dallas yesterday. You know, Dallas Texas. For I live in Texas. And during that time, I 'met' [not really, I just toured with her] a mentally disabled girl. And walking, and walking, and walking again, a story came into my mind. Somewhat about her. Not really. Just.. based on a girl LIKE her. And I have NO idea how this is going to end, I only know how this is going to start. So please read and comment, and critique it! (=

I laughed as she leaned in to give me a bear-hug good-bye. I kissed her cheek lightly. All was good. She never minded when I did that to her. Because we were close. Way closer than best friends could be. Practically siblings. But not quite. And everyday, after school, when I walked her home before taking the route to my house, I would hold her hand and then hug her and kiss her good-bye. And every day, it made my belly flutter. My eyes shine. And my cheeks turn a slight red.
"Bye.." Clarina whispered into my ear. I patted her back, though I knew this was more. School was ending. Summer was starting. I would no longer have to accompany her on the way home. We wouldn't spend time together. I was going to Germany, and Clarina was going to New Mexico. To spend time with her 'family', I guess. Since she, her mom, dad, and younger brother were the only ones of her family that lived in Cali. The rest.. all in New Mexico. And while I only would spend a month in Germany, Clarina would spend the whole entire summer in New Mexico, and a week after school starts. I would be alone. Without my best friend.
Nevertheless, I held in the urge to cry when I finally let her hand go. She tried to smile, and I waved. Watching her go into her house, I picked up my book-bag before and headed towards my house.
"Wait!" Clarina called behind me. I made sure my eyes were dry before I turned around. "I'll miss you. Big time. And I'll email you every day. I promise." I nodded and smiled. And as quick as wind, she was gone. I never got the chance to tell her that I loved her. Slowly, I walked home as the tears started flooding down my face.
Oh my gosh! You're such a good writter! I felt so sad that you in the story had to leave her to go to Germany! Man, I don't know how you guys do it. You always come up with good stories, and mine end up cheesy.
My name is Andrew. Andrew Jackson. I am from California. That's where my whole life took place, though my orgins come from Germany. I mean, my parents are from Germany. And so therefore, I am German. But I live in the US. And I'm glad, for I would never had met Clarina.
So my story takes place a few years back, when I was a junior and she was a freshman. We've been best friends since childhood and we live quite close to each other;; only a few blocks away. And obviously, we go to the same school. General James Bush HighSchool. AKA Bush HighSchool.
"Hey Andrew!" Clarina called. I laughed and waved, to her and to her boyfriend. He was a nice guy, I have to admit. She giggled and looked at him with those eyes. The beautiful blue eyes that sparkle with love. I seen it before, but she never looked at me that way. To Grant, of course. But never to me. I was only a 'friend'.
Now, Clarina's the prettiest girl I have ever seen. Those pale blue eyes fit perfectly with the wavy black hair. And the white hi-lights.. who would ever have thought about that? It was perfect. She was perfect. And you might think it wasn't good 'reputation' to like your best friend who already had a perfect boyfriend. But could I help it? Every day, after 5th period, I'd pass them holding hands and cuddling together. And I feel those thousands of piercings inside my stomach. And when Clarina called out a 'hello', I would force a smile, wave, and wink at her. Occasionally blow a kiss. Grant doesn't mind. He knows we are best friends. And besides, I'm pretty good with Grant as well. We talk smoothly. Usually about Clarina, though.
And so today, it was all a routine. She called a hello, I smiled. Then, Grant would kiss her on the forehead, hold her tight, and then let go. And then she would be transferred to me. Because, she had 6th period biology with me. And that smarty she was, she skipped tons of classes. Freshman taking biology. Or perhaps it was me that was stupid. A junior taking biology. Whatever it was, I was glad about it. My only one class with Clarina.
She kissed Grant good-bye, smiled, then walked over to me. Giving me a bear-hug, she whispered into my ear, "I missed you." I laughed. "Oh c'mon, darling! It was only a day that I was sick. I'm back now, huh?" Clarina smiled. "I still missed you."
I grabbed her hand and nodded to Grant, like I always did. Just to let him know that i'll take care of her. He saluted me, then turned into the classroom. I looked up at the clock as we started walking. 2:09. I silently cursed myself. Only one minute to get across the whole entire school.
"One minute." I warned. Clarina gave a bell-like laugh. "Oh gee. We better sprint." I nodded in agreement and together, hand in hand, we started to run. And when we just burst into the room, the bell rang. Laughing, we seated next to each just as the teacher came in. And still giggling, class started.
