Chapter One
“Luke.” I called out to my best friend on the playground at school in first grade. I smiled as he walked up to me. He was in the second grade, but he still talked to me. I looked at him and he looked back at me with his golden eyes.
“Hey Amy,” He said as he ruffled my hair. He frowned. “We need to talk.” He said looking down. He then took my hand and walked with me behind the playhouse.
“What is it?” I blushed and looked at him holding my hand.
“I need to tell you something.” He smiled as he looked at me looking at our hands and blushing but it soon disappeared and a serious face I had never seen was on his face.
“Please tell me.” I said and looked at him worried. Is he ok? My inner self asked me.
“I’m moving away. Far away. I might not come back.” He looked away and let go of my hand.
I fell to sit against the brick wall, and then I hugged my knees and began to cry. “Why?”
He sat next to me and wrapped his arm around my shoulder and pulled me close to himself. “My mom’s job.” He kissed my head. “Please don’t cry.”
I looked up at him and sniffled.
He wiped my tears away with the sleeve of his blazer school jacket. He then held my chin with his warm hand. “Stay you.” He whispered as he leaned in close to me and kissed me lightly on the lips.
I blushed and kissed him back. I rested my head on his chest and took in his scent. He smelled like roses and felt like a warm blanket wrapping itself around me tightly.
“You know ever since I met you I’ve been in love. Yeah…I might be too young to know what love is, but you make me the happiest I ever am. I really don’t want to leave you here alone so all the other boys can take you away.” He said as he took my hand after wrapping his arms around me. He took off his favorite bracelet he never took off and put it on my wrist.
I turned to look at him and smiled. He kissed the tip of me nose. “I’ve felt the same way.” I blushed.
“I’ll be back soon as possible ok.” Luke whispered in my ear.
“Promise?” I asked as I looked back at him and blushed.
“I promise with all my heart.” He said then kissed my cheek.
“Come on everyone get inside before the storm starts.” The teachers called out as they blew their whistles. That day as Luke got on his plane to move, the small storm turned into a hurricane. The plane he was on got caught in the middle and he crashed along with the other 55 passengers into the ocean— at that time he died from water collection in his lungs also know as drowning. That day was October 31. The next day is when my parents found out. My parents told me that day. I cried for the next 2 weeks. I lost the love my life and my best friend.
That is how I remember losing my one and only true love 11 years ago. Everyday I look at his bracelet and almost break down crying but never will I take it off.
“Stay you.” I mumbled to myself as I crossed my arms and laid my head down on my desk and fidgeted with the bracelet. “Those are the same words he used.” I said to myself as I sat in homeroom that day—the anniversary of his death.
“What are you talking about, Amy?” Rae, my best friend, asked me as she shook my shoulder.
“Nothing, I wish to talk about.” I replied.
Rae sat down in the normal chair next to me, because the desk held 3 people. “Come on tell me. You always act like this on the 31st of October.”
“11 years ago I lost someone very special to me on this day.” I mumbled as I looked out the window at all the Halloween decorations.
“Oh…” Rae whispered as the teacher walked in. I rested my head back down on my arms and closed my eyes. I felt different.
“Everyone take your seats. We have a new student.” The teacher stood at her podium as a dark brown headed boy walked in. He stood in front of the class. I looked up.
“Hello. I’m Luke Forez. Please welcome me.” The new boy said as he stared at me with the same golden eyes my child hood friend had. It was him.
I let my head drop to the desk with a loud BAM! Everyone turned to look at me. I sat up and a streak of crimson blood was rolling down my face.
“Miss Kite, are you ok?” The teacher asked me as she walked closer to my desk.
“Miss Kite if you don’t answer me I’ll give 2 weeks of detention.” She ordered.
My head shoot up when she mentioned detention. “Yes.” I said then got cross eyed as a line of blood dripped from a sore on her head.
“Luke can you escort her to the nurse please.” The teacher asked. I stood up and walked to the door with Luke behind me. We walked outside and he turned to me as we were out of sight. He took a hold of my hand and smiled at me.
“Long time no see.” He said wrapping his arms around my waist.
“Yeah it has been a long time.” I replied with pink cheeks. I then smiled and pulled away.
“Lets get that taken care of then we can catch up.” Luke suggested as he held my hand and led me to the nurse’s office.
“Ok.” I replied and followed him looking down blushing.
We both walked into the nurse’s off and got my head fixed up. We then got a pass for this whole period to go to the roof and get some fresh air. Luke took me up to the roof and we sat against the concrete wall and smile at each other.
“How have you been?” He asked.
“Bored.” I replied in an embarrassed tone of voice.
“Did you miss me?”
“What do you think?”
“That you never took off that stupid bracelet.” He pointed to my wrist with the bracelet still there.
“I never took it off because I love you and it reminds me of you.” I replied looking up. “So why did you come back?”
“My mother died and I wanted to see you.” He looked down then back up at the end. “I was asked where I could live. I thought of you and how your house has always had a free room.” He smirked. “So I told the orphanage that and they asked your mother if I could stay with ya’ll.”
“Hey Amy,” He said as he ruffled my hair. He frowned. “We need to talk.” He said looking down. He then took my hand and walked with me behind the playhouse.
“What is it?” I blushed and looked at him holding my hand.
