There
comes a time in everyone's life when they
have to face the music, you know, find out
the truth. Even if you have this creeping
dreaded feeling inside of you that once
you hear the truth, your life is never
going to be the same. That's the way I
felt when Wendie told me all that stuff
about Becca and the older dude from The
InSite. But I said to myself, that no
matter what the real story was, I needed
to find out what was really going on and
whether Becca and I had any future
together.
I
mean, I'm in love with Becca. And there's
no way that I'm going to sit around on my
butt feeling sorry for myself and playing
mind games and wondering what's going on.
The other thing I am totally unwilling to
do is to like, lay my heart out like some
welcome mat in front of her door and have
her step on it, or wipe her feet on it
every time she goes in or out the door. So
you see, it was definitely time to talk to
Becca.
Dave
Brodsky, a guy I know from Geometry, has
the same Bio class as Becca and he told me
that Mr. Stills was at some conference or
something today. So I knew they'd have a
sub and since it's last period on a Friday
, I figured no sub was going to load down
a class with work. He'd probably just let
them do homework or go to the library or
something. And that's exactly what
happened. Which made it perfect for me to
talk to Becca.
I
saw her on the way to the library. She
looked adorable. I'm not kidding. Her hair
was shiny and straight down to the middle
of her back and the color is so dark it's
almost blue-black. I love looking at her
hair. And she was wearing this green
sweater that I'd never seen before and
well... I just wanted to hold her. And I
would have except that as soon as she saw
me she kinda had this guilty look like she
knew that I knew that there was a secret
between us. And that look on her face made
me go cold inside. I mean, I had been
thinking that the stuff I heard from JoAnn
and from Wendie was pretty much bull. But
when I saw that look on Becca's face, I
thought, "Maybe it's true!"
So
I just asked her if she wanted to break up
with me. It was kinda hard to say, but I
just had to know. And she looked at me
with those wonderfully mysterious brown
eyes of hers and said, "No!" Wow, that
made me feel great! And we talked about
the rumors and basically she said that
after she told her parents about us, they
had made it really hard for her to have a
life, and so she turned to the computer.
And it turns out her parents also never
gave her any of my phone messages, so she
thought I didn't care about her anymore
(What a joke!). And that's why she was
lonely and why she found herself attracted
to the guy online. She swore that nothing
romantic had ever happened between them
and I totally believe her
So
now it looks like we're going to work
things out! I'm really happy. I'm going to
go over to her house some time this week,
after dinner, and meet her parents.
Becca's going set it up. And I'm sure,
after a spend a little time talking to
them, that it's gonna be cool. I mean, I'm
a nice guy and they'll see that. I am so
glad Becca and I got everything out in the
open. Now we can get on to the second
phase of this relationship.
Yeah!
Everything's gonna to be cool!
