actually out there. When I thought I saw him I pulled away from Derrick because I was caught off guard. I’m not sure if I was just seeing things out there or if my mind was playing tricks on me.”
She huffed at me, “I don’t really know what to say. You’re definitely moving really fast. So are you sitting here because Ethan still hasn’t gotten in touch with you? Are you not sure how you feel about Derrick? I mean almost every girl in school has a crush on him so maybe it is his good looks and his charming ways that are making you think you like him.” She is right about that. Every girl in our school wants to be with Derrick. He’s extremely hot and is probably the sweetest boy in school, but I know that is not why I’m attracted to him. It is more than that. If it was his looks, then I would have noticed when I first met him. “I like Derrick as more than just a friend,” I say. “My attraction toward him is more than just the normal high school crush. When I’m around him he makes me feel different. I feel safe and at peace with him. In all honesty though, Kim, I’m not sure what I want. Ethan is almost someone I can’t live without, and I can’t explain why. I feel like there’s definitely something with Ethan that I need to figure out because why else would I be so uncontrollably attracted to him? Derrick is someone I want in my life even if we’re just friends. He’s really good to me, and I don’t want to ruin it with him by moving forward with what we have. I think for now I’m satisfied with us just being friends. I really have to figure out what my feelings toward Ethan mean. I also have to find out what is going on with him and why he ran off the other night.”
“I think what you need, Lindsay, is to get your mind off of this boy situation and come out with me tonight. I know this small dance club in town and it’s a great place to just hang out. It will help you get your mind off of them and we need a girl’s night out. God knows I need to get out!”
I don’t know that I’m in the mood to be out and socializing, but I guess it would be for the best. “Yeah, I guess. That would be nice. I do need to do something to get my mind off of everything that has been going on the past couple of days.” I do need to have some fun without going crazy about both these guys. The great thing about having Kim as a friend is that she knows how to have fun and she’s always up for dancing and a good time.
“Okay. It’s a date then. I’m going to head home and get myself put together, and then I’ll meet you back here at 7 o’clock. Get ready and I’ll drive.” She gives me a tight hug and turns to leave.
“Okay. I’ll see you later, Kim.” As she walks out the door, I can’t help but think about Ethan. I want to know what he’s doing right now and where he will be tonight. I wish I could see him, wish I could know what’s going on. I shouldn’t dwell on it, but I can’t help it. If I could just be near him, feel him, and be close to him again, it would bring so much satisfaction to me. It would put me at ease with this whole mess.
With him around, the whole world slows down just for us, and I can hear the sound of our hearts beating together. His presence alone is all I need. His tall muscular build with those extremely gorgeous and desirable stunning black eyes, I want them to look into my soul like they have before. I want to run my fingers through his full brown hair and press my lips to his. Who knows, though, when I’ll see him again? I have to concentrate on now and get my emotions together. It’s 4:30 now, so I’ll take a little nap before going out tonight. Kim always has me out late so if I’m going to keep up with her I will have to get some sleep before I go.
Falling asleep wasn’t difficult, but my sleep is. I have another dream. I’m standing
