Excerpt:
I’m not sure why being around Adam
does this to me. Maybe it’s the excitement of him knowing a small part of my
secrets. Perhaps it’s the fact that out of the thousands of people at school,
he’s the only one that sees me.
But something about him sings to
me, and the tune is refreshing. It gives
me an odd desire to know him. It started in the second grade and it’s only
gotten worse over the years.
Incapable of looking away, I’m
paralyzed. The emerald gates of Oz are open and I’m being allowed a tiny
glimpse of a color-filled world. Finally,
he blinks and his intense spell is broken. I take advantage of the relief and
quickly look out the window. The sky is bright and blue, a slither of sunlight
shines down on us from a hovering white cloud.
The rain clouds from earlier have suddenly
disappeared and I know I’m responsible. The intensity of the warmth I feel
being this close to him has transformed the day. What would've been a rainy
walk home will now be sunny.
I wonder to myself what the hell
I’m doing.
I’m not a little, blushing girl.
I’m not one of those girls who melt every time an attractive guy talks to them.
I’m not a mindless tart who lusts after jerks!
Not saying Adam’s a jerk, but
there’s no need for us to start talking now. I don’t want to condemn him to the
gates of social hell for being polite to me. If he’s still the sweet little boy
from second grade, then he definitely doesn’t deserve what Bernie experienced a
few hours ago.
I say nothing as I gather my
things and walk away.
About the Author:
Tabatha has been writing since she could pick up a pencil.
Her first publication was a little poem in her elementary school paper, from
that point on she was hooked. When she was a teenager, she traded in her girly
magazines for personalized writing notebooks.
At nineteen, she met her own personal prince charming and
writing took a back burner for a while. She is now married to that prince and
the mother of a beautiful Six year old princess/rock star. Once her daughter
was born, writing came back into her life, and she finished her very first
novel in May of 2009.
She is pursuing a Bachelors in English and hopes to one day
teach while continuing to write.
As a stay-at-home mom and full-time student, Tabatha enjoys
the freedom of spending a good bit of her days doing what she loves the
most…writing.
