Leo's Tears
Stargirl was gone. She had moved away, moved to Minnesota. She was gone; wouldn't be coming back as Susan, or Jennifer, or anything else. I felt like kicking myself until I bruised and bled. I hadn't been to Stargirl what she had wanted me to be. I wasn't her friend when she needed me, and I avoided her when she liked me. I had let Stargirl down so hard no wonder she ran. Tears fell from my face as I stared across the valleys of rocks. This was where Stargirl had taken me that day, with her rat. My tears made the dust on the ground wet, so it didn't rise so much.
And suddenly, there was a hand on my shoulder. Embarrassed to be a sixteen-year-old guy crying for no apparent reason, I stood and whirled around—and came face to face with her. With Stargirl, I mean. "But how...?" I asked. She shook her head and waited. I finally understood--and I kissed her. I kissed her, pulling her close and crying all at the same time. And the best part of all was that she kissed me back!
A/N: I just read the book and this was my first idea for it, so be nice!
