Just Friends

Looking outside my window I watched the few clouds floating in the bright blue sky that was looked like the baby blanket I had when I was little. I got it just around the time me and Dimitri met. That day was the best, and I remember it like it was yesterday. It was the first day of First grade and I had my new Dora backpack on. I walked in when the new bully of our class, Mellissa, tripped me and I fell face first into the tile. My Dora backpack was heavy with school supplies, and I wasn’t the strongest girl, so I couldn’t get up. I would struggle but the kids around me just kept laughing those sinister laughs as I laid there crying, just hoping someone would be nice enough to help me up. Well my hopes came true as I felt warm hands press up against my upper arms as the person pulled me up to my feet. As soon as I regained my balance, I looked down at my new floral dress my grandmother that recently passed away had given me was covered in my dark red blood. Crying harder, the boy finally spoke.

“My mum knows how to get that out,” He had said as I looked up and smiled a shy smile and held out my hand

“My name is Shannon. Shannon Davis,” I said in my little squeaky voice I used to have.

“Dimitri Bales. Here you go,” Dimitri had said in that cute English accent of his and gave me a tissue to wipe my nose as he walked off to get the teacher. He had brought me down to the nurses office and ever since we have been best friends.

Walking away from the window I walked into the bathroom and took out my makeup bag and put on some eyeliner and mascara. A nice look for a 16 year old. I looked in my full length mirror with a plastic golden rim around. My outfit was some jean short shorts that I had bought at Aeropostle, a tank top from Hollister, and a three quarters length cardigan. For shoes I was wearing my black ballet flats that Dimitri had given me for a Christmas present. Since I recently got back from Florida (I live in South Carolina) I had a nice glowing tan that made my blue eyes sparkle even more than they normally did. I thought back to Dimitri has I put on my heart necklace that I had bought from Florida. He had went back to England for Spring Break and I missed him like crazy. Since Florida isn’t far from where we live in Brookfield, and I have relatives in Florida, his and my family would go down there for some part of summer and most spring breaks. But this year he decided to go back to England, which was where he was born. I’m glad he’s back. I walked back to my bedroom and pick up my new coach purse off my light purple comforter and stepped down the spiral staircase to get down to the door to leave.

“I’m leaving! Love ya!” I called out the door and I walked down another staircase and to my brand new SUV. I stepped in the car and put the keys in the ignition and heard the roaring of the engines as I pulled out of my driveway and gave my fabulous house one last look before I drove down the street to pick up Dimitri.

From: Shannon

To: Dimitri

I’m here

I texted from my Iphone and slid it back into my purse. In a matter of two second I saw that familiar figure come out of the house that my car was parked at. Dimitri looked different. No pimples, tanner skin, and his auburn hair was cut so it wasn’t hiding those beautiful sea-green eyes that were just waiting to dazzle you. Smiling, he steps in the car and gives me a once over. Not those weird once over’s, just the ones that friends would give each other.

“You look.. Great!” He said cheerfully as he gave me a quick hug. Even though we were best friends we still hugged. And he was right I did look great! My medium length dirty blonde hair was straightened perfectly and my blue eyes were complemented with mascara and eyeliner.

The rest of the ride we talked all about our trips and how fun it was. Dimitri wasn’t afraid to say he missed me and I certainly wasn’t afraid to say I missed him back. The only thing I hate to hear is if he sees any pretty girls, because its awkward. Especially because he was so.. So.. Well hot now! I mean, without those pimples, and the haircut he got… Well I could consider maybe asking him out! Smiling at the thought of that I shook it out of my mind. He could never like me I mean he only likes me as a friend and probably only will ever like me as just friends. Yeah, Just friends.
