The Wish
She cries again.
Why did they do that to her? Why do they have to be so mad?
She watches the waves and listens to the seagulls, the afternoon sun burns her skin, but she doesn't care. She thinks about her first day at this beach, the day she met her.
She and her family moved to town for two weeks, but she hasn't found any friends yet, no one wants to talk to her, or even get to know her. They call her names for no apparent reason.
This time she had enough, she ran out of class along the street and through the forest until she ran into somebody, she fell onto the dirty ground and cried.
It was enough for her, she wanted to go back to Ohio, her home.
A soft voice asked if she was alright, that's when Spencer finally noticed the other person.
She looked up and saw her, with her caring eyes. The first person who said something nice to her. The other girl took her hand and helped her up. She asked if Spencer wanted to go for a walk on the beach, so she just nodded yes.
She told her that everytime she felt bad or down she comes to this beach and thinks about it.
Spencer felt like she could trust this girl and told her all her problems and fears.
The girl just hold her tight and said that everything would be alright. They sat there till it was getting dark. Spencer told her that she had to go and they embraced for half an eternity. The girl told Spencer that she really liked her and won't forget her, ever. After some time Spencer asked her where she did come from and the nameless girl just nodded in the direction of the ocean.
After that they said their goodbye's.
This day was the first and last time they have seen each other.
Now, three months later Spencer sits like every day on the beach and thinks about the mysterious girl.
The people still don't like her, but now she cries more seldom than before she met this girl. It saddened her that she never asked for her name.
„Next to the Ocean in tears" now the poem Spencer wrote about the girl is finished and she lightly smiles.
She smiles because she knows they will never forget each other, the tears on her face started to dry and disappeared.
Suddenly a soft hand touches her shoulder and a caring voice asks :
„Want to go for a walk?"
