Get Over It, Tinyy T [sight word books .TXT] 📗

 Today is finally Friday, today a letter from Hunter should be coming.  When the school bus drops me off at home the first thing I do is check the mail and I see the letter from him.  A pretty light green envelope with his name on it.  I carefully open the letter and I read it still standing at the mail box. 

Dear Love of My Life,

          Today and everyday I hear your voice over the phone makes me want a kiss from your sweet lips.  Every time I do a series of flips on stage I imagine that I’m flipping into your heart.  I wonder if you may feel the way I do, if you get sad and lonely the way I sometimes do, and do you ask yourself the same questions that I ask myself.  Can you sleep at night with all those “What if’s”  running through your head. 

          What I’m trying to say is that I miss you and being here in LA is like being in a drought for a century, because I’m not with you. A drought that has advantages and disadvantages, My life feels dry and  deserted with out you.  But I have faith in us, that we will work out and that we will soon be together again the same way we were before I came here.  I promise everything will be the same when I finally return into your arms.

          I love you with all my heart and I hope to see you as soon as I can, please be patient with me because this temporary separation isn’t easy for me either.  I love you, I miss you and say “Hi” to you parents for me. Oh yeah and before I forget I just want to say I love you. 

Hunter      

          I sigh when I finish reading the letter because the things he goes through aren’t different from the things I feel.  I do ask myself questions and I imagine the worst case scenarios, like him meeting another girl or what if he gets hurt while dancing or an unexpected accident that could take his life and take him away from me for real.  I don’t like to think about these kinds of things, but I guess I should expect the unexpected.  My attention is suddenly taken away from the letter, I can hear a car coming.  The music is so loud that I can imagine the vibrations if I were in that car.  When the car comes closer and closer I notice the color.  A dark blue like the night sky, the car so shinny and so clean.  I went inside before the car got closer to me.  When I was inside I peeked out of the living room blinds and the car was there for a few minuets and I felt like who ever the driver was he knew I was looking onto the street.  When the car left I went to my room and I read the letter again and I wrote him a letter in return.

Dear Love of My Life,

          I wish you were here, so I could be with you all the time the way I use to.  But its time that we get use to this temporary separation.  Not ending our relationship just simply keeping in mind that we will certainly be together soon, that life is continuing and no more sad talk.  Even if we still miss each other terribly we should focus on the happy times and the positive thoughts, because I think that our “What if’s” and our negative thoughts just make things harder for us.  Don’t worry about anything.  Live your dream with out any bad thoughts on your mind.  You will always be my man and I will always be you women.  We should be convinced that our love will last because we were together for a more than a year and I gave you my heart so you could cherish it and have it with you always.  I gave you my heart the same way you gave me yours and I love you.  Remember no more negative thoughts and continue to have trust and faith in our love.  Focus on our future.  Maybe this separation will make our relationship stronger after all.  I love you and I miss you.

          Later that afternoon Nelly calls me, I just assumed Kim and her wanted to come over to watch a movie or something.

“Hello” I answer

“Hey girl, what’s up!”

“Nothin’ girl I just finished writing a letter for my man.  What about you?”

“Girl it’s Friday and I know I wanna hit up the club.”

“Girl you might as well live at the club, you’re always there.” 

“That is like my second house, you know.”  she says laughing

“Yeah, I know you go there so you can rock up all over boys.”  I say teasing the way she dances.

“Oh so I’m the only one, you don’t rock up on yo’ man.”

“That’s another story, don’t even get it twisted.”

“How is that different?”

“You said so yourself he’s my man.  On the other hand the ones you got feeling up on yo’ lil booty, are just lil horny boys that you hardly know and don’t have any kind of respect.  My man respects me, okay.”

“Yeah girl whatever I didn’t call you so you could give me the sex talk I called you so you could go with me to the club.”

“You want me to go to the club with you?”  I say uninterested, and pointing at my chest.  

“Yeah man so you can shake yo thang, you down?” 

“I don’t know man, I got to--”

“You do not have to study so don’t even come up with that lame behind story.”  Her rude behind cut me off, and interrupted me.

“How you know I don’t have to study.”

“Girl I’m in all your classes, I know.”  Damn I forgot she was in all my classes.

“Alright man, I’ll go but just for a little while.”

“That’s what’s up get ready and I’ll pick you up in a few hours.”

“Alright I’ll see you then.”

“Alright bye”

          This girl acts like she has to go clubbing almost every weekend.  I remember when I began going out with Hunter we would go to clubs together, he would dance battle with the other dancers there.  I roll only with the best so my baby always won.  I put the letter in an envelope and give it to my mom to mail for me. 

                   Nelly picked me up at nine o’clock sharp and when we stepped into the club the party was poppin’ all the colorful lights were flashing everywhere and everyone was on the dance floor dancing and having a good time.  I knew I wasn’t going to get to crazy so I went over to the bar and ordered a lemonade, while Nelly went to shake her ass. 

          I look over at one of the tables and I notice a young girl around my age leaving with a guy.  She was dressed in a teeny-tiny black skirt and a sky blue tank top and black heels.  The guy she left with looked about five years older than her he was tall, dark skinned, and had a small beard.  He was dressed in jeans and a green t-shirt.  They came closer, I could her their conversation.  “Were going to your car right?”  the girl said as they passed me, then the guy said “Yeah, even if I just met you I know you’re special.”  I didn’t want to judge because maybe what I thought and what was going to happen were  two completely different things.  But the truth is, when a guy sweet talks a girl and takes her to his car after just meeting each other and him telling her she’s special only one thing can happen.  I was sitting at the bar sipping on my lemonade, moving to the sound of the music.  Then I spot a guy with spiky brown hair looking at me.  He smiled, waved and winked at me.  My mind flashed back to the girl and the boy that had left earlier that night and I didn’t want to be her in a few hours.  So I ignored him and turned the other way.  I could see Nelly shaking it on the dance floor, we made eye contact.  She signaled me with her hand to come over there.  I shook my head saying “No.” but when I saw the boy with the porcupine hair style coming towards me, I dashed out of my seat and went to shake my ass too. 

          Through out the night the guy kept running into me.  I know he was doing it on purpose.  He needed to get a clue because I didn’t want to talk to him.  I wasn’t interested in him at all,  he should go find someone else.  After trying to avoid him for a while I was thirsty again, I had been shaking my booty all night and running away from someone I didn’t even know.  I asked Nelly to come back to the bar, so I could get another drink.

“Look at the one that didn’t wanna come.”  she said poking her lips out and pointing at me. 

“Shut up.”  I said swallowing down the ice cold lemonade.

“I’m happy I brought you, I can see you’re having a good time.”  she said fanning her face with her hand.  She was sweating, because it was crowed and because of all the dancing we were doing.  I couldn’t even remember the last time I danced this much. 

“Girl there is a stalker up in here.”  I said glancing over at the porcupine head.  Nelly turned around to look at him.

“Talk to him, he seems cute.”  she said not keeping in mind that I had a man. 

“Hell no, I don’t want to talk to that boy.   Girl I got a man, Remember that.”  I said slamming my drink down gently.

“Well yo man ain’t here.” she said, I looked at her

“Yes he is.”  I said, Nelly took a minuet to look around and then back at me.  “Where?  I don’t see him.”  she said, I pointed at my chest right where my heart is.  “He’s right here I said.”  Nelly looked at me, trying to understand.  “Look I’m not asking you to go home with him.   But he’s at the palm of your hand.  He’s been chasing after you all night trying to talk to you.  At lease give him a chance.”  she said holding my arms, trying to convince me.  I figured I could at lease make a new friend tonight.

“You’re right, I’ll walk over there and introduce myself.”  I said as I forced the tiny smile on my face.  I looked over to the other side of the club where he was standing.  I began to walk toward him, then Nelly spanked my booty.  “Go girl.”

          I kept walking and he noticed me coming to him, just when we made eye contact, I froze and I walked to the restroom instead.  I walked in and leaned on the sink catching my breath.  I looked up at the mirror and I was blushing.  I heard heals on the floor and I could see Nelly looking at me through the mirror with sympathy.  She approached me. 

“What happened?”  she asked chasing to look in my eyes.

“Nothing, nothing happened.  I didn’t wanna talk to the dude.”  I said.  She rubbed my shoulders and my back. 

“You wanna go home?”  she asked, I looked at her.

“If you’re ready to go, then I am too.” I said quietly, she took my hand and we walked out of the club together. 

          On the way home no one said anything, but I didn’t want to make her feel uncomfortable or guilty so I began to talk.

“It’s like….like…I don’t know.”  I said not knowing exactly what to say.  Nelly seemed a little shocked, I don’t think she was expecting for me to talk so she gave me a quick glance. 

“What?”  she said as
