10 Years Ago
Halloween
"Are you ready, Emmy?" Taylor my boy best friend next door yelled from downstairs. "No, Taylor!" I am not ready yet, I yelled back from my room. Today was Halloween it was our tradition every year we go out trick or treating, to see who won and we get the loser's whole bag of treats. But this year is also the year we turned 12 years old. But this year is very different for me and my body decided to freaking change also. Which something I noticed all of my friends had gone through the same change things during their summer break when we came back for the start of our sixth grade year. So I shouldn't have been surprised when my mom told me a flat-out "No" when I came out of the dressing room with the cat costume on.
When I finally emerged from my room I was wearing a Wonder Woman costume, and I was met with Rose my girl best friend, who I love her natural brown, she has beautiful blue eyes, which make her creamy brown skin-pop. I met her 3 years ago when she and her family moved from New York to move here In New Orleans. The day we became friends after I was reading a book that she already read and we ended up talking about it until it was time to go to class. As for Tyler, with his almond eyes dark cream skin, and tall for his age. He seemed to be the most popular boy at school and to be real with you I did not understand what the fuss was about, I mean sure he plays both basketball and football, but I don't think his looks are all that, I guess for knowing Taylor since we where one year old and living next each other since. Makes me amused by his good looks, and so far with our bodies changing thank god that has not changed.
"So, are you finally ready to go"? Rose asked dressed as Raven from Teen Titans. "Yeah, I'm ready," I said. "Good!" Taylor responds already moving to the door excited for some fun. Taylor, what are you dressed as? I asked as soon as my mom closed the door after us. "Uhm.. Is it obvious?" He asked as he turned around for us to see his costume. "huh, no dummy, it's not obvious if it was I wouldn't be asking." I said annoyed by his question, he rolled his eyes, "Well I am a professional basketball player duh… He said mockingly. I choose to ignore his remark and say "Oh, cool I guess that makes sense, you want to be either a basketball player or a football player." I said "Yep," He said giving me a high five. "Anyways, what house should we do first this year guys?" Rose asked. "We could, Ms. Parker's house first?" I suggested to them. "Let go, then I determined to beat you both this year Rose protested while she ran to Ms. Parker's house. Both Myself and Taylor try to catch up to her.
1 hour later
"Well, it seems the person who has the most candy is Rose, it looks like you got your wish this year you win, Rose!" I said defeated, Taylor who wins every year has not taken this loss as well then I have. But he surprised me by saying, "Well, they always next year I going to beat you both off." he said with excitement. "Well, see Taylor I will win next year for sure," I said walking to the couch. "Here, you guys, our moms have finished checking the candy so we can eat them now," Rose said as she placed the bag in front of us. "Okay, Rose, you know the rules of the game, the winner pickles the movie," I said giving her the remote control. Rose gave me a devilish smirk and took the remote because she knew that I couldn't handle scary movies. When she finally picked a movie she picked The Exorcist and boy was I scared. I don't know how many times I jumped and buried my face in Taylor's shoulder. On the right side of me, I had Rose laughing at me Taylor holding my hand and me trying so hard not to not scream. Thank god, my parents are out on their date right now and not sleeping or we would have them all laughing at me too. I don't know how all of them can watch this stuff!
After the movie, Taylor went home, and Rose stayed for our sleepover, and boy was she very high I don't know if it was because of all the candy she ate or was the fact that she was excited about the non-existent spark that had with Taylor. "OH, MY, GOD!" Did you see how he held your hands when you were scared? You guys are so cute, I just can't." Rose said excitedly. " Okay, first of all, ew, and secondly that will never happen," I said pretending to be grossed out. "Okay, Miss Drama Queen, you can't tell me that you don't find Taylor attractive, especially now. " I will say, he became good-looking," I said, " Ahah, so you do notice.!" "R, I am not blind!, so of course I will notice," I said, rolling my eyes. "So… he's just not your type?" she asked curiously. "No, he is not!" I said. "Oh, so what is your type ?" "I don't know!" I said, "So, how do you know that he's not?" She asked as she continued. " I mean think about it, he's good-looking, he has been your best friend since you guys were babies he knows everything about you and you know everything about himhim." "Okay, he knows everything about you too," I said in protest, trying so hard to prove her wrong. But this ends up in failure because she looks at me with her knowing smirk. " You, so well that is not the point I trying to make here." She said, Like she knew she won something. "Okay, Rose!"
"You win, I have noticed his gone through some changes since I came back from vacation with my family and I also notice that my heart is beating extraordinarily fast for no reason. But I thought denying it would make it go away, but so far it is not working." I said out-breath. " Well, well, well it took me 30 minutes for you to admit that you have a crush on Taylor." She said while looking at her watch." "Rose, are you telling me that I have a crush on Taylor ?" Asked, even though I already know the answer to the question "Yes, em you have Taylor Jackson." She said laughing, "Can we talk more about this tomorrow? I am tired, I need my beauty rest." She said as she pulled the cover over her head. "Oh sure, we can talk about something that I have tried to bury for so long and try to go to sleep I not freaking out," I said mockley. Rose laughed "You will be fine good night em."Just like that, she fell asleep. Do I have a crush on Taylor? I always thought my fairytale love would happen but maybe it can be with Taylor, I just hope he feels the same way.
