I slowly open my eyes to a blinding sun, coming threw my shades. I yawn and got out of bed.
I slowly walk down stairs, not caring how bad I look.
My mom and dad are already downstairs eating freshly made pancakes.
I sit down in my usual seat.
My mom walks over to me and hands me a plate of pancakes.
I eat my pancakes slowly and carefully.
"What are your plans for today Tara?" My dad asks me.
I shrug and say, "Abby and I were planning to go shopping today."
I finish my pancakes and drag myself upstairs to my bathroom.
I walk into my bathroom and turn on my shower.
I undress and step into the warm, hot shower.
It feels so good on my tan skin.
After I'm done with my shower, I get dressed and put on my make-up. I walk into my room and turn on my cell phone.
"12 Texts? From Who?" I say to myself. (Lol not a high number)
4 Of them were from Abby. 2 Of them were friend my other friend Courtney. And 6 of them were from Seth.
I was happy but confused.
I first responded to Abby's texts. All four of them related to the mall trip. I told her I was going and I would be ready in 1 hour.
I opened the ones from Courtney. The first one was asking me if I was going anywhere this upcoming summer. The second one asked me if I wanted to go with her and her family, plus Abby to this awesome resort in a couple weeks.
I set my phone down on my bed and walked downstairs.
"Hey Mom?!" I screamed.
"Yes honey?" She responded from her office.
"Can I go with Courtney, Courtney's Family, and Abby to this cool resort in like two weeks?" I asked.
"Sure, but let me talk to Courtney's mom first." She said.
"Mkay. . ."
I walked back to my room and responded to Courtney's text saying, 'Yea I can go but my mom needs to talk to your mom first.'
I still had the 6 texts from Seth.
Why would he send me 6 texts?
I mean were best friends and all but he never sends me 6 texts...
I decided to ignore the texts from Seth.
I looked at my clock on the night stand.
I had 45 minutes before I had to go to the mall with Abby.
I got my stuff together, lipgloss, money, wallet, cell, etc. And put it all in my bag. The stupid bag was about to fall apart, gotta buy a new one.
I walked downstairs to wait for Abby to come pick me up.
I got bored after 15 minutes of watching my cat try to eat a fly.
I walked over to the office and sat at the desk.
I opened the laptop and turned it on.
I went straight to AIM.
There were 23 of my friends online.
A message came up, it was from Seth.
Seth-S
Tara-T
S; Hey Tara, What's Going On?
T; I'm About To Go Out Wid Abby
S; Cool, I'm Leaving Here Soon Too
T; Sounds Like Fun.
Abby's loud horn interrupted my thoughts.
I logged out of AIM just as another message from Seth appeared.
I stared at the screen for a moment wondering what he had written.
But again Abby's horn interrupted.
I grabbed my bag and ran out the door, just as I ran out the door, I said behind my shoulder, "Bye Mom! I'll be back later!"
We were in the mall for hours. Towards the end of the shopping trip we went inside of the sport shop.
We were looking for a soccer ball.
I walked towards the soccer balls.
Something caught the corner of my eye.
"Abby!" I whispered.
"Yea?" She said.
I slowly pointed at Seth and his friends.
Abby laughed.
"What? He's here?"
"Yea... I Know" I said.
Seth turned his head and saw me pointing at him, he tried to act like he didn't see me. He turned away from my face. He slowly lifted his arm and put it around a girl named Jessica.
Normally this would bother me but I didn't mind at the moment.
I still curiously watched Seth and Jessica.
Seth turned his face to Jessica, it looked like Seth complimented her.
Jessica smiled then closed her eyes.
Seth moved his face toward hers.
They locked lips and stayed like that for a while.
My mouth dropped open.
"What happened?" Abby said looking at my expression.
My face got hot.
My eyes started to water.
I couldn't swallow.
I covered my face with one of my hands and acted like I dropped something on the ground.
Abby knew what I was trying to do.
She handed me her car keys.
I managed to get out a scratchy, "Thank You."
I ran outside of the mall and opened Abby's car.
I sat inside and cried.
Why me? I mean really?
I wanted to rip something in half.
Like a piece of paper.
I wanted to push something.
Like a huge bolder.
I felt like I wanted to free fall.
I wanted to feel the cool wind on my hot face.
I cried so much my hands were soaked in salt water.
After a while I heard the car door open, Abby sat down next to me and put her arm around me.
"I'm Sorry Tara." She said.
She rubbed my back.
I laid my head on her shoulder.
"Why me?" I whispered.
"I'm not sure..." Abby responded to my question.
"But I do know that he's a jerk for not waiting for you." She laughed.
I managed to smile.
"I want to free fall into the clouds." I said after a couple long minutes, my voice coming back to normal.
I whipped my tears.
I saw Abby staring forward excited.
"You want to free fall?!" She sounded happy.
"Yea? Badly..."
"Can I have the keys?" She asked me.
I handed her the car keys.
Abby put on her seatbelt and started the car.
She started driving. I knew exactly where she was going.
Maybe I shouldn't have said I want to free fall...
