My Life Is A Movie
Me and my friend Wes are walking out of my house on a beautiful summer night. It’s not too humid and the breeze is perfect. We both decided that night to go down by the park that evening to look at the stars. Yeah we’re cheesy, but that’s why we are best friends.As we get to the first corner I see my friend Chloe’s dad. He yells to me from his porch, “Hey Claire!”
I holler back, “Hi Mr. Toppel! How are you?”
He answers, “I’m doing fine, and yourself?”
I smile, “Oh you know just enjoying the gorgeous summer night.”
Wes and I keep walking down the street until he says, “Promise me something.”
I say, “Okay. What?”
He looks at me, “When we reach the park we have to go on the tire swing.”
I roll my eyes at his childish remark, “Yes Wes, we’ll go on and then play in the sandbox.”
He chuckles, “Oh you know you want to build a sand castle too.”
I answer, “Guilty.”
We get to the main road to cross so we can get to the park. I push the button an insane amount of times so that the light will change. I can see the light getting ready to turn yellow and then red.
We have the green and he screams, “Quick! Hop on my back!”
I am confused but he grabs me and the next thing I know he is running across the street and I am holding onto his shoulders and my legs are wrapped around him.
I yell, “The light is almost red! We’re gonna get hit!”
He yells back at me, “No we’re not! Don’t worry Claire I got this!”
Sure enough we make it in time and I jump off his back. We are both in hysterics and holding onto each other for support. We continue to walk and giggle down the street and make a right onto the next block.
I say to him, “I can see the park entrance from here!”
As he is about to say something a little girl named Tori passes me, “Hi Claire!”
I crouch down to her level, “Hello Miss. Tori. How are you on this fine evening?”
A big smile spreads across her face, “I’m great, my mommy just got me the ice cream man.” She holds up a toasted almond to show me.
I widen my eyes, “That’s so awesome! Is it yummy?”
She nods, “Yeah it’s the best thing I have ever eaten! Well I gotta go but I’ll see you later.”
She skips away and I smile, little kids are so cute. Me and Wes continue walking when he says to me, “Claire, your life is actually like a movie.”
I chuckle, “Haha how?”
He answers, “Because wherever you go people say hi to you and the whole neighborhood loves you.”
I joke with him, “Nah, it would only be a movie if you were in love with me.”
He stops in his tracks and looks at me, “Well then I guess it is a movie then,” he quickly blushes and awkwardly and says, “Just kidding.”
Then when we reach the entrance of the park we stop for a second to open the gate.
I turn around and say to Wes, “Can you help me opening the-“
And then he stops me and pulls me in for a big kiss. It was like nothing like I have ever felt before and when I pulled away I looked at his big blue eyes.
He smiles, “Ok, now your life is officially a movie.”
