OPINIONS WANTED!! This is a story I am thinking about asking my English teacher about for creative writing, and I want to know if you think it is appropriate for it. The topic of the creative writing is "Memories are made of this". Grammar tips are welcome! And it has to be at least 400 words, which this isn't. just an idea. Hope I can build on it. PLEASE GIVE OPINION!!
When my daughter asked to know how we fell in love, I remembered the tree. The tree was where we had our firsts.
I had walked to the tree for quiet time. My best friends always wanted to be around, and they were incredibly loud. Soon after I sat down, he walked over and stood leaning against the tree. We were quiet. Just looking out over the lake.
When he sat down next to me, I felt sudden butterflies in my stomach. We were so close. It was weird. Since we started school together, we had always hated each other. Apparently it hid our true feelings for the other.
He asked me why I was there. I told him. I asked him the same question. He told me that he always came out here at this time, and that tonight there was another reason as well. I asked him what the other reason was.
He leant in really close to me. I hadn't noticed that we had moved so we were facing each other. He whispered the answer. You. Before he touched our lips together.
There was no fireworks going off inside my head, but I knew I would always remember that kiss. This was also the tree we had our "first time" together under.
"Mommy?" my daughter asked, standing at my feet, looking at me worried. I just pulled her to me and hugged her. She was my memory of under the tree. She was the result of what happened under the tree.
