Spinner
"Hey, so are you ready to go?" she asked me.
"Um.. yeah."
She put her crutches under her armpits and started heading towards her car. I followed close behind. "Spinner.." she started.
"Look Alli, I don't want to talk about it."
"Well I do."
I sighed. "Alli, it was a mistake, okay? I don't want you to feel sorry for me. Just drop it, leave it, and pretend it didn't happen."
She stopped in her tracks. She slowly turned around. "A mistake," she said, shakily.
I am so confused. What's going on?
"Uhh.."
"Spinner, if that's how you feel about it, then whatever."
And then she started crying. Before I could actually see the tears stream down her face, she spun around and went to her car.
Why is she crying? What the hell is going on?!?
She put her crutches in the backseat and climbed in the front. She slid over and opened the passenger side. "Get in," she said.
I sat in the passenger seat. I looked over at Alli. She was looking out her mirror with her hands in her lap. She sniffled.
I took a deep breath and said, "Alli.."
"What?" she said, still not turning her head towards me.
"I would like to talk about it now," I said.
"Why? It's just a mistake to you."
"No. No Alli it wasn't."
She wiped her nose and turned her head. Her eyes and nose were red. Her eyeliner and mascara and begun to stain her cheeks. But even looking like that, she still looked pretty.
"Spinner, I, umm.." she started.
Her cell phone rang. She picked it up and answered it.
"Hello?.... Hey Jimmy........ Look, I think we need to talk..... yeah.. I just, umm think we should break up.... Im so sorry Jimmy... look, don't get me wrong, I do like you. But it's just that..... wait jimmy.... How did you know?...... so you're not mad?...... well that's good... im still so sorry..... bye."
She hung up.
"What were you going to say Alli?" I asked her.
"I.. like you," she said, her cheeks turning red.
"What?" I asked.
"I like you. There, I said it. I like you."
"Alli.. I like you. I like you a lot. I can't stop thinking about you. Everytime I'm with Manny, I just wish it was you. And I Just want to be with you all the time."
"Omigosh Spinner. I feel the exact same way!"
"I've liked you since I met you," I said.
"So have I."
Alli started her car. I could tell she was embarrassed but I didn't understand why. It's not as if I didn't feel the same way about her as she did me.
Alli
Did that just happen? Did I just tell him how I felt? And he likes me too? This is the greatest day ever..!
I pulled up to Spinner's house and pulled my keys out of the ignition. I turned my body towards Spinner. He was just grinning from ear to ear.
"Do you want to come in?" he asked me.
"Um, sure." I said.
Spinner got out and got my crutches out of the back. He handed them to me and led me towards his house. When we got up to the porch, I could hear his phone ringing inside.
"Ah, they'll leave a message," he said casually.
We walked inside. Nobody was home. There was a note on the refrigerator from his mom. It said that she wouldn't be home until 11 and that he could order a pizza.
"So do you like pepperoni and ham?" he said, smiling.
I still couldn't believe this was happening. "Sure," I said.
He picked up his phone and checked the caller ID. "Manny was the one who called." He said.
I cringed. I totally forgot about Manny. "Don't worry, I'll take care of it," he said.
"Sure," I said, uneasily.
He walked over to me and put his arms around my waist. "Alli, I like you a lot. And I'm going to break up with Manny. I just want to be with you," he said, looking deep into my eyes.
I stared back at him. What can I say? I mean, this is everything I wanted! I am so happy right now! "Spin, I'm so happy right now. I wish I could stay in your arms forever," I said, slipping my arms around his neck.
And then it happened. He kissed me. AGAIN. But this time I wasn't stupid. This time, I kissed him back.
"Hey, so are you ready to go?" she asked me.
"Um.. yeah."
She put her crutches under her armpits and started heading towards her car. I followed close behind. "Spinner.." she started.
"Look Alli, I don't want to talk about it."
