Past and Present
Rachel
“He’s alive,” said the doctor.
Both of us let out a sigh of relief.
“We have not detected any harmful reactions to the accident. You may go home while we continue to let the patient rest and test him for further incidents.” It sounded like the doctor wanted us to go.
I said goodbye Karen as I left the hospital.
I feel so exhausted after this long day. I walked home slowly. As I reached my front door I heard a familiar voice.
“Heeyy girl!”
I looked up, and there stood a girl, no other than my best friend Rachel.
“OHMYGOSH RACH!!” I ran up and hugged her.
She laughed and hugged me back
“I miss you so much! How’s California?” I asked, delighted that she’s back.
I should mention that Rachel had been my best friend ever since grade 2. But her parents decided she should go to a high school in California so… we haven’t seen each other for 4 months.
“It’s great but it doesn’t feel right without you,” she said as we hugged again. “Any troubles while I’m gone?”
My face suddenly dropped when I remembered Alex.
“Come in,” I said, “I’ll tell you everything.”
She looks at my expression with concern as she came in with her suitcase and luggage.
“What’s wrong?” She asked.
“You- you know Liam?” I quietly said.
“Oh, the one from grade 8?” She looked at me, “you felt bad after that didn’t you?”
I looked at her in surprise, “how did you know?”
“Well let’s just say that you weren’t being yourself that summer after he left. You weren’t eating ice cream all the time, you skipped out a lot of times when I asked you to go to Nandos with me, and you drew an awful amount of crying people pictures. Is that obvious or what?”
I should mention that I’m—or I used to be a big eater. I didn’t get fat at all so I took that to advantage and ate a lot. I love food, especially ice cream in the summer and I loooooove Nandos. I’m also a big fan of drawing. But I usually drew happy people. Girls and boys with glittery eyes and big smiles.
“Anyways,” I said, “He showed up again.”
“Really?” Her shocked expression says that she hadn’t expected him to come back. Neither have I. I thought he was long gone after the dance.
“Yeah, but now he’s a totally different person.”I frowned, “he grew his hair, took off his glasses, and grew into tank tops and jeans.”
“So basically now he’s hot?”
I nodded and gave her a long description about the rest of it. When I got to the part where he saved me from the car accident, I couldn’t hold in my tears anymore so they poured down like a river.
Rachel saw me cry and gave me a hug as I choked on my words.
“A-a-and when h-he said he l-l-loved me I-I remembered in grade 7 t-t-that I told h-him he’s not g-good enough,” I sobbed.
