This is a short story I wrote a while back, from the perspective of a teeenage boy named Kasey. I hope you all like it!
I closed the screen door quietly,
as to not wake my parents, and ran silently up to that hill between our lands.
You were waiting for me there, your pretty brown curls falling softly to your
shoulders, and your green eyes almost laughing at me. The moon shone down. My
bare feet brought me over to you, across the soft grass of spring.
“May I have this dance?” I asked.
I
bowed, and you curtsied, holding out your hand. I took it in my own, and
smiled, putting my other hand on your waist, as you placed yours on my
shoulder. And we began to dance. The
moonlight shone down on your face, as the wind picked up around us, twirling
and blowing at your hair. Suddenly you grabbed my hand and we began to spin in
a fast pace, the wind singing in our ears and our bare feet pounding the
ground. In A moment of pure ecstasy the world just melted into a blur and all I
could see was you.
Then we
were on the ground, laughing and grinning madly, our moment vanished by a foot
caught in the grass. We leaned back against our tree, and you still held my
hand. Suddenly, an idea came to me.
“Taffy?”
“Yeah?”
”Would
you mind if I carved our initials in this tree?” I asked almost shyly. I don’t
see why though, I’ve known you since we were little. Then you hugged me and
stood up, pointing at a clear spot in the wood.
“I
always thought this would be a good place!” I pulled out my pocket knife, and
painstakingly carved your and my initials. T. E. and K. H. Tabitha Evans and
Kacey Holt. I stood back to admire my work, but you pulled on my arm.
“You’re
not done yet Kacey! You still need to do something!!!!” I looked at you
curiously, I couldn’t figure out what else you wanted me to carve. “You need to
draw a heart around them…” You trailed off, staring at the ground and blushing.
You always looked cute when you blushed.
I
reached back up and cut a heart around our initials into the tree’s soft bark,
then leaned back and took your hand.
“It’s
wonderful!” You whispered, while I just smiled. I couldn’t agree more.
