Bitter: Part 3
Well, it bothered me greatly that he had a girlfriend. Especially since she was so possessive, but I decided to put my efforts towards becoming friends with him at least. I was surprisingly easy. In drama class every day we had a great time together. We got along great, surprisingly.
Over the summer I pined for him. Missed him dearly, listened to sad songs. When the school year started up again I found out that he had started a home study class so he could follow his parents when they traveled. I was devastated, but luckily he said he would be following the drama department carefully.
One night, after the drama club had finished their performance of Little Shop Of Horrors. Arnold had a small party in his room at his house. A small group of kids sat around watching movies and drinking soda. It was getting very late so slowly the kids had started to filter out. Arnold mentioned the idea of a sleepover to everyone, three of the kids left to go get some movies. I figured it would be okay with Ol' Big Bob. Later I figured out that I was terribly wrong.
While the kids were gone, we talked of all sorts of things. It grew very late and the moon shone through Arnold's skylight. Arnold lay down his blankets…for us to share! I was ecstatic. He put out his arm and let me rest upon it as we lay together watching movies and talking. At one point I said something, I still can't recall...that made him laugh. He gave me a very sweet look. There was an awkward pause. To this day I wish I hadn't looked away. I couldn't believe it! So kind, so caring…Oh my beloved was so kind. Something seemed odd though. All this attention…it was just like the attention he showered on girls he "like-liked." Could it be? I mean is it possible? I really thought he might.
Well, whilst I was so head over heels, I realized I had forgotten to call Big Bob to tell him what the plan was. I was shocked when he was angry as hell and drove over immediately to pick me up. I guess it did look incriminating since the other kids weren't there. Crimeny! I thought that Bob knew me at least a BIT better than that. I guess I was wrong.
I went home crazier in love than I had ever been.
