"I do love you"
Chapter 1: The beginning
"I thought you loved me" she said as she slammed the door to my face "I do love you I said, just not in the same way you want."
It all started long ago, more than I care to admit; Alex had been my best friend for many years, in fact she was my favorite person in the world, ever since my dad died she was the only family I had left, but shit´s been complicated recently. We met in our senior year, we shared some classes like Calculus and advanced English but it wasn't until that day I saw her in the library that we started to talk. I remember that Mr. Stuart asked us to bring our favorite novel to class and since I lent my copy of Mrs. Dalloway to my friend Lauren, I had to go to the library to find one, but for my surprise I found Alex Vause, a girl from my class and currently my BFF looking for the exact same book. At first I was shocked because I never really expected someone to like that book as much as I did however unlikely it was possible and for our misfortune there was only one copy of it.
Alex was the sort of person who leaves an impression on you, the one that instantly catch your eye in the minute they walk in and why shouldn't she? She is really beautiful, but not the kind of beauty that comes with an empty head, she is beautiful, smart, sexy, self assured and definitely the most interesting person you can meet, I really wished I could say that about me but I´m the kind of girl that goes unnoticed and blends in, over the years I learned that I could use that as an advantage from time to time.
Alex took the copy of Mrs. Dalloway in her hands and offered it to me; she said she would to look for another novel for the assignment but I refused to accept the book, I knew I could ask Lauren to give me back my copy so I told her to keep it, she smiled at me and we began to discuss about the book, apparently we both loved Virginia Wolf and the way she expressed herself in all her writings. The next day when Mr. Stuart asked us to gather in couples to discuss similar books we glanced at each other and smiled, she took the place next to me and we restarted our previous discussion, she told me that Virginia Wolf was one of her favorite writers and I told her that I thought the same, it was a little weird because I had never met someone who liked the same kind of books that I liked. In that moment it felt like that was a divine signal that Alex was going to be a huge part of my life.
The next day she arrived to class with a copy of The great Gatsby, she sat next to me and gave me her copy of the book, I stared at her with a bit confused but then she told me she thought I would love that book, I thanked her for that noble gesture and I promised to read it so we could discuss about it in a proper way. The next morning I looked for her at the cafeteria, I wanted to give her a copy of my favorite book but she wasn't there so I waited to English class to give her a copy of Madame Bovary, she told me that she always wanted to read that book but she never had the opportunity to do it.
Mr. Stuart asked us to make groups for our monthly project, we had to compare a book with the film they made out of it, the options were The Great Gatsby, The perks of being a Wallflower, Pride and Prejudice, The lord of the rings and Animal farm, my friend Polly and I gathered with John and Larry but when Mr. Stuart said we needed 5 people in the team I decided to ask Alex if she wanted to be with us for this project, she said yes as I expected and the rest of the period we decided the book we should read and the way we were going to split the task. Polly suggested we should read the Lord of the rings but I wasn't really excited about that, Larry said we should read The Perks of being a wallflower and John proposed Animal Farm but Alex and I told them that we wanted to read The great Gatsby and compared it with the film made in 1974, Polly wasn't really happy with the idea but she accepted and the boys did it too, we had the whole weekend to read the book and to watch the film and on Monday we were going to start writing the essay. I told the girls they could stay at my place on Friday to see the movie together and they both said yes.
