Sarah Smiley: A Short Story

Decent Essays
Lately I've been thinking about back to middle school. When you first came to our school all the way from Philadelphia. You said San Diego wasn't that different from Philadelphia besides the weather. I remember you were shot I didn't really talk much but you always had the biggest smile on your face. No matter how I felt at the time seeing your smile just made my day every day. As a joke all the boys in the school call you "Sarah Smiley".
Before I had the chance to even talk to you or get to know you my friend asked you out and you said yes.You dated for years I thought you two were never going to break up I thought I was never going to have a chance. Out of respect I suppress my feelings for you and never let them show. My friend
