before you guys start reading, id like like to let you guys know the story will work in a sort of parallel way. the diary entries work as flashbacks would, while the rest is the present. the diary entries might sometimes be ocmpletely un related, but in the end they help show how the relationship develops. i know its sort of confusing at some times, but just remeber the past will be dated and the present is august 2009 and so on.
…I fell off the skate! It was so embarrassing, I just wanted the earth to crack open and swallow me. its actually getting kind of old now. He must think I'm such a klutz! I just felt like never getting up, but then Shane run to me, worried as he could be to make sure I was fine. Gosh. He makes it so hard. He practically carried me into his room, and he cleaned the part of my knee I scraped. After that I didn't really want to go out, and I swear, he totally red my mind because the next thing I knew, he was asking if I wanted to watch a movie. We fell asleep. On his bed. AND HIS MOM WALKED IN ON US! Even if she's like my second mother its awkward when she wakes me up, sleeping on top of her son. And to make things worse, I had to stumble into his grandmother on the way out of his room. Sometimes it feels like they plan these things –oh wait. Moms calling.
"Could you pass me the plate sweetie?"
I walked across the kitchen to do as I was told, and just stood there. Looking at mom, waiting for whatever she had to say.
"Shane called."
I didn't react. I had to be careful around her. I had to act nonchalant or she'd figure it out, she knew me to well.
"He asked how your knee was doing, and he said he was coming around later."
I counted to three. "Cool." Don't want to sound too eager.
I left.
I decided to just flip through my diary reading previous entries as I waited for Shane.
January 11th 2008
I was walking to Caitlyn's house and I bumped into Shane again. I had to idea they were like neighbors. It was really embarrassing too! I sort of fell off my brand new Sector 9 and into him, making him fall as well. I told him I was fine and tried to leave but he wouldn't let me go until Caitlyn's brother, Jason came. He told me she was waiting for me and I bolted…
January 17th 2008
last night was… different. Some people came over since mom and dad are out of town. Nothing mayor happened. Someone brought alcohol, but no one got out of control. At around 11, everyone left. Except Shane. We went upstairs, to the music room and played old records until about 3am. He fell asleep on my lap, and I didn't have the heart to wake him up, so I ended up texting his mom (can you say awkward?) to tell her he was here, and putting a blanket over us.
Waking up this morning was the worse. Somehow we both ended up lying next to each other, and his arm was around me. I offered him breakfast, trying to act casual, but he insisted he had to go, so I let him…
February 13th 2008
Some girls organized a surprise party for Nate's birthday, and it just so happens I was chosen to make sure everything was set up in Shane's house. Let me tell you, it wasn't a good idea. When I got there the house was empty, and when I went into his room, he was sleeping. Things between us are still a little bit awkward. Since he fell asleep at my place he hasn't really been himself. I just wish he'd tell me what's wrong.
"What are you doing?"
I turned around fast, only to find Shane right behind me. I'd been so caught up with my reading I didn't notice him creeping up to me. I tried to hide my diary to no avail. He had seen it already and there was no way he was letting it go.
"What is that?" he asked motioning towards the now closed book.
"Nothing," I snapped back, getting up and away from him, to put it away before he got a hold of it.
"Aw, come on Mitch. No secrets remember?"
I sighed. "It's my diary."
I could see his light up, and a mischievous smile start to creep into his face.
"Don't even thing about it. It's personal."
He pouted.
"Okay then. What are we doing today?"
I just stared at him blackly.
"What?" he asked, oblivious of what was going on.
"Are you serious?"
He looked at me blankly.
I grunted.
"We have to go to the late session surf comp. I can't qualify for the tournament next month otherwise, remember?"
His face suddenly lit up. "Oh."
I pushed him out the door, down the stairs and outside, grabbing my bag on the way.
"Bye mom!" I yelled as I went through the door. "You know, your not exactly the greatest best friend when you keep forgetting these things," I muttered as I locked the door behind me.
He just smiled at me.
"Now drive," I motioned to the car. "I need to pick up that new wetsuit I ordered last week."
So this is a new fic. It was inspired by the song just friends by the jonas brothers. I actually don't know how it happened. A bunch of friends and I were sitting in the living room, and my best friends ipod was on shuffle.. and when the song came up the didn't want to change it.. and I just.. listened to it.. and came up with this.
For those of you who read untitled, I will continue writing that. Im on the prcess of finishing the next chapter already, but I just needed to write something else.
If you haven't read untitled, please check it out…
