the past i've forgotten? by B.Raven.T (best finance books of all time .TXT) 📕

tan skin, hes tall and has brown eyes. I offered to tour him around the school, he said he already had someone doing that, but he gave me a kind smile, a sweet smile.
I sat with my friends at lunch and Arex came over and sat by me, all casual. Sara looked at him weird “ Watch out tiger, shes already confessed her love once, you should have seen how that ended,” Sara said taking another bit of her fries, Emma hit her in the arm and Sara almost choked.
“ I'm sorry,” I said to Arex.
He gave me that same smile “ No problem, my brother do that to me all the time,” he said.
“You have brothers?” I asked?
“ Yeah I'm the middle child,” he said.

Lunch was okay, but I couldn't help but feel ashamed, I was still in love with Carter, no matter what happened. I know I hurt him, it hurt me to tell him I love him and him go completely on something else.

Carter, can you hear me?

There was complete silence.
Yeah, I'm here.
How is everything? Is your cousin okay?
Wouldn't you like to know.

The response was hateful, I know I really hurt him, I glanced across the room and saw him at a table a ways from where I was sitting, his face showed pain.
“ I'm sorry, excuse me,” I said and got up to follow him out.


He was heading for outside, he glanced back to see if I was still there. The halls were deserted. He stopped and I ran into him, I backed away.
“ Why? Why did you back away? I know you love me, and I love you to. My cousins fine, don't you still love me?” he asked?
“ I do, I just wanted to focus on us at the time and you were busy, so I had make you leave completely or I wouldn't be able to live with myself, it still doesn't matter, I can't live with myself now,” I said.
“ Don't you feel something with the new kid? I saw how he looked at you,” he said, the pain returning to his face.
“ Well, I like him, but I love you,” I said.

I was telling the truth, I didn't really know Arex. I've known Carter ever since I was little, I felt a connection with Carter and doing what I did made me feel numb and not like myself.
He took me in his arms and I felt like me again, I felt safe and warm. Carter whispered into my ear “ I'm sorry I couldn't concentrate before, but now we'll be a couple and I'll put my all in it. I love you Macy.”

Know that things were going straight I was feeling pretty good, and my birthday was coming up so Carter has to meet my mom.

A MONTH LATER..

Well to days the day. Carter meets mom, I'm so excited! Its only going to be a small get together, Emma,Sara,Kim, Jen, Carter,me, and mom.
Its not much but since the past month of absolute heaven, most of my friends got boyfriends. Its a bit weird.

I had to help my mom with the party, the decorations, the cake, the whole 9 yards.


The cake was a round lemon cake with vanilla icing. On it it aid in purple icing Happy birthday sweetie! Well I didn't write it of course.

About 7:30pm Emma and Kim came ( Emma with her boyfriend Jake, and Kim with Tyler.)

They brought gifts, they didn't have to.

A few minutes latter Sara and Jen arrived, they too brought gifts.

At the last minuet Carter came, he came as late as he could because he was nervous. He wore a button up shirt with regular jeans, he was carrying a big gift bag. That made me feel bad.

My mom beat me to him, she met him at the door. I ran behind her, I could see his face, it was surprised.

“ Oh hi! You must be the famous Carter!” mom exclaimed!
“ Uhh, I guess,” Carter said a little thrown off.

Now I was embarrassed, I tell mom a few things about Carter and she acts like this, like I've non-stop talked about him. I was blushing.

After mom let go of Carter with her bear hug, he came toward me with that big gift bag in his hand. He smiled, “ Hey,” he said, hugging me.
Now we had the whole group, it had to be the best birthday. We all had a piece of mom's great lemon cake. We picked out a movie to watch, some how it ended up being the nightmare before Christmas. Sara fell asleep trough it, Jen didn't like it, she kept making sarcastic jokes about it all the way trough. My mom about had enough of her jokes and told her to shut her trap, Jen was quiet after that. Carter found that funny.


After the movie, that was about an hour and a half, I opened presents. I opened Emma's, it was in a medium sized box with white wrap with purple flowers and a small green bow. I opened it carefully not wanting to ruin the pretty wrapping paper. In the box was converse shoes, purple ones. They were the ones I had wanted to get at the mall but couldn't because I didn't have enough money. I was so happy, I had the biggest smile on my face.
“ Emma! Thanks this is just what I wanted,” I said, she smiled.

Kim's gift was wrapped in white with multiple-colored dots, it had a pink bow. It was a small box, a rectangular box. I opened it and it had a bracelet that said Friend on a half heart. I looked at Kim and she held her wrist up, she had the best part. “ Thanks Kim, ts beautiful,” I said and put it on.

Carters bag was the same color as his eyes, I opened up the bag and pulled some stuff out. First there was a bath basket with body wash,lotion,bubble bath,bath fizzers, and a loofah. Separately there was a big bottle of perfume, its scent was Japanese cherry blossom. The last thing was a letter.
“ Wow, you didn't have to get me all this stuff. Thanks Carter, I like it,” I said.

It was starting to get late, every one went home.


The next year went by fast, Carter and I shared a lot of good memories, and we were off to college, but collage was difficult. There was a lot of classes and work, pulse all the years we had to stay there. Carter and I didn't go to the same collage, so trust was an issue. Every now and then he'd call . I could always tell what he was thinking about, it wasn't bad but his work was a lot harder than mine.


But after a long time and a whole lot of work, collage was over. And that meant Carter and I would finally get to see each other again...


Look for the second book!
