I am on my way to school, first day on the bus after winter break, my best friend leans over and tells me that James has a new girlfriend. Her name is Rachel. She was a sophomore, a year younger than us. Ok. I could deal with that. I understood. Who wants to wait around for a girl who's parents are so strict that she can't even date. But, it was what my best friend had told me next that had hurt the most.
James had sex with Rachel too.
I wish my heart would have closed off immediately to this boy. I should have walked away from him and never turned back. But I'm too stupid to have done that.
A few months went by. James and Rachel had broken up. Who knows who did it to who but that was the life span for most high school relationships, a few months.
I warned you I was stupid. James and were friends again.
We stayed friends for the remainder of the year.
Our senior year. I was at a new school. But some how we found each other again. Isn't that the story of my life!
We started up our relationship again as boyfriend and girlfriend.
But, this time I kept James a secret. I knew the consequences of saying anything to anyone.
Again, we were together any moment we could. He would even drive across town to see me before school started and then drive back to his school. We would pass notes to each other during our brief encounters.
I remember we even accomplished meeting each other during the time i helped paint our senior wall.
We walked around the school together & made out. Mmm. My favorite memories.
We even talked about the future together. What we planned to do once we graduated high school.
James planned to join the AF once he graduated and I was off to college but away from home. Away from my strict parents.
