Did you ever pick a star, name it, then call it your own?
Well I did.
Her name is Cosma.
My name is Ona DelSonce and this is the story of Cosma, the Star of the Worlds.
It was the last day of school on that very warm June day. I was walking home with my wonderful, amazing boyfriend Maverick. We were close to Ol' man Douglas's Shoppe when he suddenly stopped. I shot him a confused look. I was wondering what was wrong with him.
"Maverick?"
"I don't know if this will last."
My body suddenly tensed up. I was afraid of what he meant by those words. Maverick and I had been dating for eleven months now. I know we're only sixteen, but I have to admit that I fell deeply in love with him.
His long, flowing bronze hair, his steel blue eyes, his wonderfully shaped chest and not to mention, his amazing personality, what was not to love? It felt so easy to talk to him. I loved him more than the air I breathed. I stared into his dreamy blue eyes.
"What do you mean?"
I was afraid of what he would say. He looked back at me after a long pause.
"Let's pick a star together."
I was still perplexed by what he meant.
"People pick stars together because they are in love. I love you so much Ona, but I wonder if I'll lose you."
As he stood there, the wind picked up. It played with his hair, making him look even more amazing. To this day, I could swear that I saw a tear slide down his baby-smooth face. I walked up to him and rubbed it off of his face with my thumb.
"You'll always have me. You know that."
Maverick picked up his face and bent his head to mine and softly pressed his lips to mine. My heart skipped a beat and began to race rapidly. Whenever he touched me, I felt an electric current race through me, from my head to my toes. After my head started to spin, I parted my lips and pulled back.
"Okay, meet me tonight at Market Street. Shall we say, 9:30? We'll walk to Sunset Hill in the Sunset Terrance. Deal?"
Maverick nodded and gave me a heart shattering smile. He pulled me into a quick embrace and kissed my forehead. Another current shot though my body. He chuckled and we separated.
