Good Morning Wake Up Call: May Part 3

A Story by Gabby

In this part of May's story we find out what Parker is so scared about, and the truths that reveal themselves during this heated conversation. Enjoy!

The thing is that I have been waiting so long for this one person to even acknowledge my existence once again. So you have no idea... scratch that - you can't even imagine how fast my heart is racing at this moment. But of all the things rushing around in my mind, the one that is boldly expressing itself is the frustration... the frustration I feel because he has no idea that when I think about it he is the only one I look for in a crowded room. And he's the last thing that I think of no matter how hard I try to forget his face. And right now he's raw and himself, but Parker is nervous and fidgeting. I plea this time making note to be softer and calm "Parker, what is wrong?".
Parker stops and looks at me solemnly "Malissa told me something and I wanted to clear the air before anything gets complicated." Now I'm the one who's frightened. Because here is the thing, you don't tell people like Parker you've had this serious in depth feeling for them since the first day of summer daycare, and when you had the first conversation with each other in eighth grade social studies. You don't tell that person because they have a serious social standing in school, friends who know you and hate you, but more importantly if they have a girlfriend who could make high school even more unbearable for you than it already is. This all may devastatingly sound like a huge stereotypical cliché, but it's just like that, and that is the cold hard reality of it all. So all I can think is WHAT THE HELL DID MALISSA TELL HIM?????
Parker must notice my terrified face because he begins to explain everything before I can break my nervous silence. "She said some things like you have feelings for me." Oh, I think. So that's what it was. I'm going to kill her. I finally speak, "Parker...umm...whatever it was that Malissa said..." GOD, get it out May, you can tell him! I think screaming to myself in silence. "Well Parker in all honesty it doesn't matter, you could even say it's not true." There we go, I said it. But Parker doesn't looked relieved like I had expected, he looks disappointed. Now he just scoffs "It doesn't matter? Are you sure May?" I think, Why is he so accusing? "You don't think I feel the same? May if it's all a lie you need to tell me now because I want some clarity on this. If it is true I want you to know that I'm done with Hannah!" Now so many things are happening in my head, to many thoughts cramming the empty space. And instead of the scared expression I saw seconds ago, I now see an angry person. A boy who wants me to confess what I have felt for so long. A boy who actually wants me.
