Reality just got REALI woke up believing that this day would be like no other, except the fact that the last day of school was approaching real soon. Although that was a great thing to hear and all, it still didn’t justify the fact that I’m living for today and I know my teachers would try and cram a bunch of unnecessary work in before then. I arrive to school, class was boring, BAM goes my locker shut and off home I go.
I arrive home to see my parents overly excited about me coming home so I knew something had to be up. They begin to tell me about a cruise we would be taking to Puerto Rico. Big whoop I thought, we’ve been on several cruises before and after the second I was pretty much through with them all. The only good part about it was the fact that I would be missing the last three days of school. I didn’t seem to care anyways I would be right back there for my junior year so I quickly got my bags packed and hit the road. The Miami port was packed as usual, but we got through the line faster than a speeding bullet. I became exhausted from all the travelling we had taken the night before so I fell asleep as soon as I hit the bed. It was only a matter of time that I would be awakened by my older sister to tour the cruise knowing how adventrous she was. The boat seemed larger than life and was flooded with all different types of people. It was a sight you just had to see, but I quickly got distracted by the view due to this tall unfamiliar human being standing before me. As I looked up I noticed big, pearly whites shining at me, it was a boy who grew to be the size of a man with brown mocha choca latte skin tone. His beauty was indescribable and I was conviced that my eyes were only deceiving me. As he opened his mouth to speak, my eyes became glued to what I thought was beauty only seen from within. It had only been a couple of minutes and he already had me laughing endlessly. It soon turned from minutes to hours and by the end of the day I felt as though I knew him for centuries. The next day approached fast and before I knew it we arrived in Puerto Rico. I seemed to be having much more fun then ever before and I believe that boy had something to do with it. After dinner, my sister and I both decided to go to karaoke and on our way there we ran into him. My plans suddenly had taken a shift in direction and I ended up spending the rest of the night in his company. It became known that my feelings were much more then what they appeared to be the day before and with the way things were headed his seemed to be the same. Time grew shorter and shorter as the days went by and the cruise itself would all end tonight. The moment I expected to never come was finally here. The boy I grew to like so much would soon be out of sight in a matter of minutes. We both decided to spend those last few hours in each other’s arms since time was only wasting why should we wait any longer. We began to talk about the times we spent over the last couple of weeks and how we wish we didn’t have to go back to reality. He then began to expres the way he felt and how much more the cruise meant to him that I was there. After hearing those words, I then let out a big sigh and tears began to fill my eyes and he wrapped his arms around me and told me that no matter what happens he wasn’t going to let this love die. I shed many tears that night and many nights after, but since then I’ve never been the same. I’ve come to understand that you should take advantage of every opportunity you get and to be optimistic, no matter the circumstance. What is meant for you will be for you and through it all, that’s all that matters. In case you happen to be wondering, he and I both are still pretty much in contact and to this day he still holds his promise. |
