part one, nameless story

i hadn't talked to him in over a week. his angelic face haunted my memory. his lips, fully pouted, flashed in my mind every moment i thought of kissing him. my final resort: his facebook page. everytime i was online, i would visit it at least once. in the back of my mind, i silently wished he would do the same.1

the last time i had seen him in person, was at the yearbook signing. a full two years older than me, and my ex boyfriend's best friend, he still opted to sign my yearbook, requesting i call him. everytime i would open my book, my eyes would be drawn to that spot where he had left his mark.2

he, for whatever reason, started conversations with me on facebook, and soon, we were texting, saying dirty things to get eachother off. resisting the urge to tell my best friend was tough, and eventually i gave in and spilled the beans. "he's a player," my friend samantha told me. being three years older than me, and obviously more experienced, i listened to her, and began to have second thoughts about him. "danny is no good for you, he'll just break your heart." she would tell me over and over.3

i just didnt know what to believe, i had heard the rumors, even from samantha, and having them virtually confirmed by his wretchedly sexual behavior, i told him unwillingly that i wouldnt be able to meet up with him, ever. he seemed disappointed, but clearly stated that he understood, and if i was to ever change my mind, i was welcome to come back to him.4

we continued talking on facebook, getting slower and slower until eventually we rarely talked, since he was rarely online anymore. only after this transtition was made, did samantha talk to him on my behalf, asking questions about him and secretly trying to find the root of his feelings for me. apparently they were deep.5

"oh my god!" samantha messaged me one fumingly hot afternoon. "you need updates! i talked to danny for you!!"6

"well, what did he say." i asked rather exasperatedly. "well, i found out that those rumors were false, and he really is a sweet guy. and i think he likes you."7

"how can you be so sure?"8

"well," she answered. "he told me about how you were grounded and how you had no cell phone, and he seemed rather upset about it, almost as though he missed you." my mouth dropped at this turn of events. "are you sure?" i demanded. "i'm almost positive!" she replied. i knew not what to make of this.
