What Could've Been

What Could’ve Been
My name is Taylor, I am just a tall, skinny as a stick, yet average looking girl. Then there is Chad, the boy I like, he is tall, tan, and handsome.
“Taylor, time for school,” my sister yells at me.
“Coming.”
12/10/04 8:03 am
Awesome, just another day in boring Colorado staring at the most amazing guy in the world, Chad.
“Taylor, come on!” Sarah, my sister screams at me.
“I said I am coming.”
One more year and I can drive! I finish writing and then slam my journal shut.
“Oh my gosh if you are not down here in…,” Sarah starts.
“I’m right here,” I reply cutting her off.
“Great!” Sarah sarcastically said.
First hour is at school, I have biology. As I take my seat I suddenly see girls as hungry as hyenas run in. Then I realize Chad is in my class!
“Maybe Biology won’t be as bad as I thought!” I mumble in the middle of the chaos.

When we get our new seating chart, I notice that Chad and I are lab partners! As I find the nerve to go up and say hi to him, he ignores me and starts walking the opposite way.

What did I do to make him hate me? I know I am not as pretty as all those other girls, but why does he hate me? WHY?
“What are you writing about, nerd?” Chad says.
“Chad, oh nothing, nothing at all. Do you want me to move or something?” I say.
“No, no, no! Umm, could I please just ask you something?” Chad says dreamily.
“Yes, anything!” I say sounding stupid.
BBBBRING, the bell rings‼
12/10/04 8:58 am
Chad was just about to ask me something! What could it be? Does he hate me? Does he love me? Oh my gosh I am sooooooooo nervous. Why did the bell have to ring right when Chad wanted to ask me something? This is so nerve-racking, agggghhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
“Taylor are you going to pay attention or shall I read what you have just written out loud so everybody may hear?” Mr. Labowski meanly asks.
“Yeah, yeah sorry I will pay attention,” I say.
“Chad” I whisper stupidly silent.
“Huh?”
“What were you gonna ask me?”
“Never mind I don’t remember.”
“Oh yeah, sure!”
“I was gonna ask you if…” he starts asking and then stops.
“What?” I ask.
“Well, it sounds really imprudent.”
“You can tell me anything.”
“Do you like me? I mean like love me?”
12/10/04 9:32 am
Oh my gosh! Chad just asked me if I LOVED him, but I am not really sure. I don’t even know how to say it. What should I do?
“Mr. Labowski?”
“What would you like, Taylor?”
“May I use the restroom?”
“Yes you may, feel free to take as long as you would like.”
12/10/04 10:01 am
I’m just sitting here freaking out in the black, rusty, repulsive bathroom. Why am I not pleased that Chad loves me? Shouldn’t I be? What the heck is wrong with me? I should probably go back now, but why? Maybe people will like me now that Chad loves me, but they also may hate me more because I am stupid and won’t just tell him I love him too? But do I? I hate my life.
BBBBRING! The bell rings particularly loud.
“Shoot, I forgot my book, Do You Love Me?”
As I dart back to biology Chad is sitting there crying his eyes out.
“Why are you crying?” I ask.
“Well, my parents are moving to Missouri, but I was not going to go with them, but now I think I might go because, well what is the point of staying if you don’t love me anyways? If you want me to stay just tell me that you love me and I will.”
“I, I, I”
“Forget it” Chad rudely interrupts.
“Sorry.”
“No you’re not, goodbye Taylor, I will always love you so if you decide that you do love me back, I will be In Missouri, I will be waiting for you.”
“Good, good, goodbye.” I finally choked out.
“Goodbye, I love you sooooooooooo much.”

Yes, it is almost time for break; all I have to do is make it through today. What am I going to do over break? I remember Chad, my one love, but I was 15 and stupid, and he was 16 and handsome. I am going to go and tell him my true feelings. He said he would love me forever; I will go and see if forever is over or not.
“Flight 2342 to Missouri.” The load speaker screamed.
That is my flight! I am so nervous, kind of like the time Chad told me his feelings for me. Ahhhhhhhh! I complete writing while taking my seat on the plane.
“You okay?” A tall and handsome guy asked.
“Yeah, yeah I’m good.”
“Why are you going to Missouri?” he asks me as the plane takes off and I can see the beautiful view below.
“Just to find somebody from high school that probably forgot all about me.”
“Weird, that is why I came here, but I couldn’t find her. I went to our high school Colorado high but I never saw her.”
Wait is this Chad I am talking to? Could it be? I hope so! Probably not though, it’s probably just a weird coincidence. I will just ask and see.
“Wait is your name Chad?” Taylor asked this handsome boy as they slowly crash to the Earth’s surface.
