'Hi', I screamed at the top of my voice to get her attention. Her name was Amanda, a cute, beautiful, gorgeous girl aged 13, with light brown hair and a smile so bewitching. She turned around and saw me. My heart skipped a beat I made my first move but what next. She waved her hand at me and began walking in the same direction, away from me. It hurt, the feeling of being ignored by someone who you loved so much. I walked or rather ran behind her to catch up. We were walking side by side as I looked at her at a dumb smile spread across my face. I could see her trying to hold her laughter at my childish behavior. 'You can laugh', I said, one look and we both were holding our stomach after laughing hilariously. I didn't know what to do at this point. 'Where are you going?', I asked casually, 'Waiting for my mom, she'll come only after an hour'. Perfect, I thought to myself, 'Hey, you want to join me for a snack?', I blurted out, 'No, I'm a little busy', she said. I just nodded my head and stood there beside her. An hour for nothing just standing there watching as she flirted with my best friend, Sam. I was jealous, oh yes I was. I saw her mom coming at a distance I just tipped her and she went in her mom's direction waving to Sam and not even looking at me. 'It's getting late', I said softly he knew something was wrong just by the change in my voice. 'What's wrong?', he asked, I just gestured nothing and headed towards the gate followed by him. We quietly took our bicycles and headed off towards his house, it was a Friday we had two days to enjoy. The ride to his house was rather quiet. Once we reached we headed up to his room and the first thing we did was play. We loved to play we couldn't think of anything else. We were playing but my mind was wandering off somewhere else, to her. I couldn't concentrate, I kept missing shots. He paused the game and again asked me what's wrong, to which I gave the same gesture. He didn't believe me he persisted, I just said I was having a rough day and just resumed the game. He was still worried and I knew it.
It was 2 am now I had been tossing and turning while Sam slept peacefully on the opposite bed. I couldn't sleep, I wondered what was she doing, where was she. I had a sudden urge to call her. I knew it was tedious but I had to. I didn't hesitate further and gave her a ring, which was answered to immediately. 'Hello', I said in a low tone, 'Hey', she replied rather enthusiastically, 'Not planning to sleep?', I asked, 'Nope, just going to watch YouTube for the night', it turned into a long conversation we ended up talking till 4 am, when we both were yawning, we said our goodbyes and I jumped back on the bed. That was a satisfying conversation, I missed times like these that we had before she found out about my feelings for her. Yeah, things spread fast. I missed her already, I really did. We never connect in school but talk a lot on call or text. I still couldn't sleep, I had a sudden urge to call her, again. I knew I couldn't, I just lay there, flipping through her photos on Instagram and Facebook, 'It's illegal to look so beautiful', I thought to myself, with a sigh and a last glance at her photo I closed my eyes and wandered off to a place I knew would never hurt me, ever. Dreamland.
