Will he remember you?
Old memories, new life
5:30 am.
Not exactly the time that this young Canadian wanted to wake up. She groaned as she got out of bed to turn off the alarm clock that hadn't stopped buzzing. Then, she turned to the mirror to examine her image.
Amira was eighteen now, and definitely looking it. She was taller now, with broad shoulders and wider hips then before. Her hair was about the same as before, but it was flipped out and layered again. Her eyes were still the same: hazel with the most amazing tint of green. Many guys at her high school had commented on these unique traits of hers, but she honestly didn't care.
She made her way over to her desk, to start gathering homework from the night before. During the clean-up, Amira found a letter in a little blue envelope, obviously not been touched for at least a couple of months.
It was from Hilary.
The only thing was, this letter was the last one sent, about 2 years ago, about 3 weeks after Amira had left for Canada.
After that, the two of them had lost touch with each other. Amira had always wondered how her friend and Tyson were doing. With homework and everything, she never got around to writing her back.
Every now and again, Amira would get a little teary when she thought about Kai. She hated how she left him, just standing in the street. She hated the feeling she got, just leaving him behind.
She tried to forget him, but it was hopeless. A countless number of guys at her school had asked her out, but were all rejected. Last year, she went under the term, "Most hard to get". Nobody, other than herself, knew the reason for this. After a long sigh, she set down the letter, and started to get dressed.
On this hot June day, Amira left the room wearing a blue halter top, with a powder blue un-buttoned blouse, equipped with a jean skirt and flip flops.
"Amira? Honey do you want scrambled eggs?" her mother asked as her daughter stumbled into the kitchen, still have sleep. She nodded quickly as she sat down beside her sister, who was reading TEEN PEOPLE (I love that magazine!!). She just looked over and smiled.
"So, you excited about the graduation?" she asked, a slight smirk on her face. She knew that Amira couldn't wait for her grad to come, and just had to suffer two more weeks, and then she would be done for good. Her sister just groaned and let her head droop.
"You know the answer to that you little runt." She was too tired to do anything physical, so her sister just laughed, and continued reading. Her mother was whistling happily as she made the eggs.
"Honey? You better wake up. Your friend Tawn will be here any minute." Her mother poked her with a spatula. She stirred a bit and looked at her watch. Her eyes grew big as she looked at her watch: 8:25am!
"Oh my God! Tawn is going to be here any minute!" she screeched, stuffing the rest of her eggs in her mouth and rushing to the bathroom to get ready.
BEEP BEEP!!
"I'm coming!" Amira yelled, rushing out of the bathroom, gave her mom a kiss on the cheek, stuck her tongue out at her sister, and was out the door.
By the time she had gotten there, her friend Tawn was already sitting in her seat, tapping her fingers on the steering wheel.
Tawn and Amira had been best friends since forever. Amira remember when Tawn first moved form America, and that they had been their first friends at the new school. They had been through everything together. They had told each and every one of their stories. But there was one secret that Amira had never told. She had told the littlest things about her vacation to Japan two years ago, but she never mentioned about her and Kai, but Tawn didn't seem to mind.
"Slept in a little did we?" she smirked as her friend opened the door and got in. Amira smiled weakly as she got in. Tawn quickly started up the car and drove away to another eventful day of school. The two sat in silence, and she was the first to speak.
"So, what did you think of the prom? What Jason a good date?" she asked curiously, because Jason was obviously the hottest guy in school.
"Uh, sure. He was ok." Amira sighed, looking at the scenery. Sure, Jason was a hottie, but he could never compare to someone else, a certain someone.
"Hey you ok?" her friend asked, trying to blow away the short brown hair that was getting in her face from the wind. She brushed it away, and revealed a concerned emotion.
"Yeah don't worry. I'm fine." Amira answered plainly, unbuckling her seat belt, because they had arrived at school.
All in all, the day was not very eventful, except for the catfight that took place after school. The most popular girl in school, Michelle, had started to pick a fight because Jason had asked Amira to the prom and not her. Amira quickly dodged the fight, and ran for the door. She caught up with Tawn right when she landed on the news. Tawn seemed to be very pleased with herself, and she had the biggest grin on her face.
"Amira guess what?"
"What is it now?"
"I just got a call from my dad! He told me, that for my graduation gift, he would fly me anywhere in the world for a month. And he gave me two TICKETS!!! What do you say?"
"Are you freaking serious?" Amira stared at her like a deer in headlights. Tawn's grin just got bigger by the second.
"Well? Do you want to come or not? I was thinking, because you were so glum about leaving the last time, maybe we could go to Japan! You know, to see your friends?"
Amira was shocked. Her friend would actually do this for her? This was insane. She would see all of her friends again, and of course, Kai. Her heart was pounding.
"Um..yeah..uh.." was all that came out.
"Well if you want, then let me know so my dad can order the tickets as soon as possible."
"Oh my freakin' God I want to come! Why wouldn't I want to come? This is so great!" she pulled her friend into a long bear hug.
"Yeah, no problem. What say I give you a ride home now?" Amira nodded and followed her best friend to the car.
When Amira got home, she told her mom about the trip, and she said that it would be fine. After that, the teen couldn't stop bouncing off the walls with excitement. After a while, her mom told her to calm down. She told her daughter to fetch some towels from the hall closet.
After rummaging for towels in the closet, she noticed a little piece of cloth sticking out from the piles of towels. She gasped and covered her mouth with her sleeve.
'Oh my god, it's Kai's scarf. I completely forgot.' She sighed as she pulled it out, and slung it around her neck. She grabbed the rest of the towels and skipped happily down the hallway.
