"Twas a sunny day in Philadelphia while Pam walked down the road asking for a ride..." speaking in a southern accent, she waved her hands everywhere trying to get Scott's attention "Hey Mr. handsome, may I have a ride on your magnificent Ford? So hot out here; please don't leave a pretty girl like me fall out today!" Scott rolled his eyes laughing while and shaking his head.
"Ew! Diana... why are you butchering the story? And who talks like that? We are in Florida, not south Texas, and aren't you from there? This is so unconvincing!"
Irritated while crossing her arms, Diana rolled her eyes. It was true, she did come from Texas and had been there for years. She now lives in Oviedo with her friend. She started walking away from him, basically running because he thought it was a joke. Why did she feel embarrassed? Was it the facial expression?
"I can't believe you! How could you joke about my home state? I thought we were friends and you can't even take my accent? Fake? How dare you?!" Diana screamed. Scott thought she was crazy for yelling at him and as an insult, he talked in a southern accent.
"It's not my fault that you moved away because of some beautiful boy, making you prank other students with a burn book! HOW CLICHE MY DARLING!!!" He yelled at the top of the lungs and reached his arms out as far as he could.
Her eyes widen bigger than a fool ready for lunch! So she hit him on his shoulder, and screamed into his ear making him jump higher than a goose! "You take that back now! Or I get Mama to come up here and beat you up!"
Just now Diana's mother came upon the stairs looking for the frightening teenagers, she looked all around until she fully walked into the attic finding them just behind the boxes "What in the world are y'all doing in here? What happened?" Suddenly both of them could not speak...but why? Were they going to get in trouble?
Diana sighed and told her " We were acting! Yes acting like we were someone in a movie! I was being a cowgirl up in the west!" She quickly said leaving Scott to fend for himself. "And I was the chief sheriff! She screamed because I had come from the south and I needed to have few...." he continued to ramble on while Mama was giving them both weird eye movements like she didn't believe them... how could she when Scott's parents told Diana's mother that he had a small crush on her? Cute right?
"Okay, you kids! Just be careful and behave yourself...Dinner will be ready in thirty! Bye now!" Leaving as quick as she could the both sighed of relief, thinking they could get in trouble and have their personal things removed from their rooms.
"She knows I have a crush on you... she could have been thinking that we did something... like I kissed you!" He whispered but Diana suddenly shook her head.
"No way I don't like you like that... besides, I like someone else but they ain't here"
"Oh really? I bet it was that stupid boy who bullied you! Why do you like people who bully? You told me he was mean and called you silly names" he snapped back at her.
"They are exciting sometimes! I feel this adrenaline rush when I'm with them..or him! Unlike you who is a nerd and very boring! I don't like you." She looked away and then back at his face who looked like a sad puppy, he climbed down the ladder and said nothing to Diana. That's when she knew she had regretted the words coming out of her mouth...
Scott on the other hand left her house and went back to his own thinking of how foolish she sounded. Liking someone who is mean to you?
He opened the door quickly and slammed it after he came into the house, stomped around putting his jacket on the couch. "Hey boy, Food is coming in about... 2 hours I mean, I ordered some food for us. I'll let you know when it's here okay? His father called out from the other room with his eyes glued to the television.
Scott sighed once more and flatly called out back to him "Yeah yeah...whatever" and going up the stairs into his darkroom. Since she moved here he had a crush on her and knowing his mom wasn't around he couldn't ask his father for advice because all he has ever done eas watch tv, even though he had said something about it... it now complicates everything he wanted to do with her.
He got into his bed and tried to sleep the night away, thinking about how he would hold her, dance with her at midnight under the full bright moon, walking her home, and finally noticing her beauty while she doing something else...
"All of the possible things that could go right and this is how she feels about me?"
Two sad lonely hours had passed and the food came just like Dad said but Scott wasn't awake... "Son! The food is here, come down now!" He commanded him... and still, he did not come down.
He went upstairs and opened the door where his son laid there in his bed asleep, he sighed again closing the door "Might as well let him get some sleep for once" he whispered to himself and went back downstairs. He then got food and ate by himself and put everything up afterward, turning off the tv he slept on the couch and whimpered throughout the night during his sleep.
The next morning Scott awakens by smelling smoke inside the house. As usual, it is his father smoking his cigarette inside the house while he walks around the house, in and out like its host routine.
"Ugh! This is getting out of hand while I'm slowly dying breaking to anything..." as he puts his clothes off for the day he walks out of his room and covers his nose while putting on his shoes. He failed at not inhaling it but he pressed onward to now tie his sneakers!
Diana came out of her house while her parents packed the car for a family picnic. Scott knew he wouldn't be able to talk to her for at least some hours, so he watched her walking around then she went indÄ and sat in the car...
He sighed while he continues to look at her. "One day we'll sit together and laugh at... at how you didn't like me but I knew... I would always be there for you. "
