ONCE UPON A TIME

MELODY WILLOW

AFTER I BECAME FRIENDS WITH CAMERON, KY BECAME MORE AND MORE DISTANT. “HE MUST  HAVE SOMEONE HE’S INTERESTED IN “ I THOUGHT. SO I DIDN’T BOTHER, WHEN I’M WITH HIM I FEEL LIKE IT’S AWKWARD.

KY JONES

I FELT LIKE CAMERON AND I HAD THE SAME FEELINGS FOR MELODY. WE WOULD ACT LIKE WE ARE FRIENDS IN FRONT OF MELODY, BUT ACT COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WHEN SHE’S OUT OF SIGHT. I DON’T HANG OUT WITH MELODY AS MUCH BECAUSE CAMERON KEEP BUZZING AROUND HER ALL DAY LONG. WHEN I AM AROUND HER I STARTED TO REALIZED HOW LUCKY I WAS TO HAVE MET HER AND IS HER FRIEND. NOW WHEN I’M AROUND HER I GET FLUSTERED AND I TRY TO AVOID HER. I WISH SOMEDAY MAYBE WE COULD BE MORE THAN FRIENDS. BUT IF SHE FINDS OUT MY OTHER SIDE WOULD SHE STILL WILLINGLY BE MY FRIEND?

CAMERON ROBERT

I HAD NEVER HAD THIS FEELING. I FEEL WARM AND FLUSTERED WHEN I’M AROUND HER. EVERYDAY I GO TO SLEEP THINKING ABOUT HER, I WAKE UP THINKING ABOUT HER. “WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?!” THE MOST I GET CLOSER TO HER THE MORE I LIKE HER, THE MORE I FIND AMAZING ABOUT HER. IT FEELS ALMOST  REFRESHING. HER SMILE, HER LAUGHTER, EVERYTHING ABOUT HER MAKES ME OUTRAGEOUSLY ELATED. BUT IN THE CORNER OF MY EYE I ALWAYS SEE KY AROUND THE CORNER SOMEWHERE, JUST SMILING SADLY AT US. I DECIDED HE WASN’T SO BAD AFTER ALL, MAYBE WE COULD BE FRIENDS. . . SOMEHOW.

KY JONES

SHE WAS ALWAYS THE LIGHT OF MY BORING LIFE. MY PARENTS ARE FIGHTING. BOTH MY YOUNGER BROTHER AND SISTER SEEMED TO BLAME THEMSELVES FOR NOT BEING GOOD. I ,TOO, PERSONALLY BLAME MYSELF. BUT NOW EVEN MELODY IS BEING TAKEN AWAY FROM ME. I FEEL SO HOPELESS. THEN DISASTER STRUCK. MY MOM FELL ILL. MY DAD IS CRYING, HEARTBROKEN, SAYING THAT HE TAKE BACK EVERYTHING HE SAID , THAT HE WAS SORRY, HE WAS WRONG. MELODY KNEW ABOUT THIS TOO OF COURSE.  SHE BEGAN TO HANG OUT WITH ME AGAIN, TRYING TO CHEER ME UP. BUT IT ONLY MADE MY ANGER BOIL. I DON’T NEED HER PITY. I TOOK OUT ALL MY ANGER ON HER, SHE ONLY SMILED, WITH TEARS ROLLING DOWN HER CHEEKS, STEPPED CLOSER TO ME, AND HUGGED ME. HER EMBRACE WAS WARM, A LIGHT PULLING ME OUT OF THE DARK. WITHOUT THINKING I LEANED IN . . .

MELODY WILLOWS

KY CAME TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY WITH A GLOOMY FACE AND A GLARE THAT COULD MAKE A PERSON ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE SCHOOL SHIVER. HE SEEMED . . . OFF. LIKE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT PERSON. I THEN FOUND OUT ABOUT HIS FAMILY ISSUES. I DECIDED THAT WAS THE REASON WHY HE HAD BEEN AVOIDING ME. I CAUGHT UP WITH HIM AFTER SCHOOL. I TRIED TO CHEER HIM UP, WHATEVER I COULD. BUT HE SEEM TO FADE AWAY EVEN MORE. TILL ONE DAY, I UNDERSTOOD WHY. I THOUGHT I WAS PITTING HIM. I WASN’T THERE FOR HIM WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I STEPPED UP TO HIM AND HUGGED HIM. I WHISPERED, “I’M SO SORRY.” HE WARMED UP, AND BEFORE I COULD RESPOND HE LEANED IN, HIS LIPS ON MINE I COULD TASTE THE SALTINESS OF EITHER MINE OR HIS TEARS.
