Try as hard as she could, Kay was not successful in avoiding
Miguel. He found her and this time it was after school, so she did not have any
history class to run into.
"Kay?"
"Yeah."
"Can we talk?"
"Isn't that what we are doing?"
"I'm serious."
Kay gulped there was no way out this time.
"Okay shoot."
"Are you mad at me?"
"What?"
"Are you mad at me?"
"No."
"Well why don't you want to hang out with me?"
"What do you mean Miguel I like hanging out with you.
Remember the great time we had at the outlets."
"All last week you wouldn't have anything to do with
me."
"Miguel I..."
"No I think I know what it is. We used to be Kay and
Miguel, Miguel and Kay. It's like you said we got girl and boy friends and we
don't hangout. I do only talk to Charity. Now I want to talk to you. but I
understand that during the past year you've got other friends and obligations.
I know we can't be like we were but I feel like I hardly know you. That
somewhere in the past year, we went from being friends to acquaintances. It's
partly my fault and I'm sorry Kay. I miss you. I want you back in my life. Can
we be friends again?"
Miguel looked into Kay's eyes. Kay was in turmoil. She had
not wanted him to be so nice and wonderful. She was trying to get over him! But
looking in his eyes she could deny him nothing.
"Of course Miguel." Kay said
Miguel grinned from ear to ear.
"Great! when! what do you want to do?"
Kay racked her brain trying to think of something not to
"datey". After all Miguel may be back in her life but he was still in
love with Charity.
"How about Laser tag on Friday?"
"That's perfect! Thanks Kay." With that Miguel leaned over gave Kay a kiss on the cheek and ran off.
