Last night, I babysat for the children I babysit most frequently. So much so, that Paul knows what time they go to bed, and will call accordingly once they're asleep. So much so, that all the kids, aged ten, eight, six, and four, all knew h…

Freshman me, two years ago, looked over at Paul, who was sitting just a few feet away on the weight room floor. The previous day before I had noticed him, alone, not really sure who he could talk to. I knew what that felt like. And my heart…

He walked me to singing class. I was a little late, and he begged me to linger just a little bit more. I shook my head, smiling wistfully at him, and went into the classroom. Then, I remembered the day before. How Mr. Andrews let us loose b…

Paul was unhappy as I listened to more music with Jason. He sat on a chair, twiddling his thumbs. Then, suddenly, he jumped up and marched to stand next to me. Jason started waving his arms again, mimicking the drums and bass of the song p…

Two days ago in singing class, Mr. Andrews let us loose. He had to go work on some things having to do with the musical, so he allowed us to do whatever we wanted. I had brought a present my brother had gotten me to school, to use to work o…

Well...This Is New - 64 • Opuss № I

For the past few days, Paul and I have kept at it. Play fighting, wrestling, grabbing. Sally likes to keep a good distance away, smirking at me. A couple of days ago, he and I were chatting on the phone, and we went on about how this one …

Well...This Is New - 63 • Opuss № I

I felt myself being lifted in the air and laid on my back. "Lay flat," Paul ordered, grinning mischievously. He grabbed my ankles and made my legs flat. "What are you doing?" I asked. He chuckled. "Nurse!" He yelled at Sally. "Get the anes…

Well...This Is New - 62 • Opuss № I

Paul did "flirtatious" things with both me and Sally the entire night, but the way he did them differed greatly. With Sally, the touching was playful and boyish, and sent jealous prickles through my heart. With me........... A song came on,…

His hand paused from where he had been petting Maddie's soft, black fur. "What?" He asked softly, pretending he hadn't heard me. I repositioned myself in the water uncomfortably. "Can you tell me what was wrong?" He turned back around, look…

As it turned out, Paul was able to go to Sally's. So as Sally and I sat on her bed, she laughed as I kept looking eagerly out the window to see if Paul had come yet. "Chillax, Em," she said, grinning. "He'll be here soon." And he soon came.…

That night, I did not sleep. All I could see was his face, his pained eyes, the hurt in those irises. The next day, I had to take the SAT, and I knew that Paul was there as well. We had both registered to take it on the same day at the same…

Well...This Is New - 58 • Opuss № I

I am going to throw up. I am literally going to bend down and throw up. Paul and I were arguing. About all the usual stuff. He was very, very angry. He told me how he hated the fact that he was a criminal for not loving me back. That ever…

"Hey." I looked at the text from Paul. "Hey." We started talking. At first the conversation was casual. But then... "I know why you were mad" he said. I opened my mouth. "It's because you thought I was flirting with Carrie". I closed it. "…

Well...This Is New - 56 • Opuss № I

Back on the couch, I sat, next to Paul. There came a time where my leg was literally over his, our ankles twisted together. It was something *so* hard to miss, yet he looked like he didn't even notice. Or if he did, it looked like he didn't…

Well...This Is New - 55 • Opuss № I

Paul kept drawing people and I kept cutting them out. It was fun, but so childish. I had to keep reminding myself he was a five year old in a sixteen year old's body. Soon, we were giggling again, him and I. I guess I couldn't enjoy making …

"Em, choose a color for your eyes," Paul said. I sighed. "Hang on a second." I finished the round with a shriek and a laugh, looking at Sally. Then, I turned around, making my face go blank. I could feel his eyes on me. I didn't care. In th…

Well...This Is New - 53 • Opuss № I

Sally and I stayed there for a good ten minutes, before we gave in to Paul's begging. A little bit of pleasure came from making him upset. I noticed it, and knew it was wrong. But he was hurting me so much. And I wanted to make him upset, t…

Well...This Is New - 52 • Opuss № I

Sally came in and hugged me tight. "What's going on?" She whispered. I told her about what Paul had done when she'd been in the kitchen. She stared at me, shaking her head. "He's being a jerk, Em," she said. "I want to slap him." Carrie and…

We hung out yesterday. Me, him, Sally, Carrie, and later Heather, at Sally's mom's house. First, he and I played chess and he won after about seven minutes. Then, we all decided to play Mario Kart on the Wii. Sally's mom brought in snacks. …

Oh my gosh... ... I'm on the phone with Paul. He's been making snide comments about Tom lately, and he made another one under his breath. I asked him what he said, and he said "Nothing." Then, as a joke, I said, "He loves you." And then, i…

It's only been five days since Paul left for Canada, and I miss him. For two of those days, he didn't talk to me, but for three, we *did* talk. So I shouldn't miss him that much, but I do... Which is why, this morning, as I lay in bed readi…

Well...This Is New - 47 • Opuss № I

Finally, we were off the phone. Immediately, he texted the group iMessage. I started speaking Dutch to him, insulting him. He spoke back. Sally had no idea what was going on. Then, he said, "Sally, let's Facetime." Another blow to my heart.…

I stared at my phone, which was buzzing once again with an incoming call. You can guess who it was. "Hey," I said, staring into space. "I married Carrie," was the first thing out of his mouth. I ignored him, twiddling around on my iPad. "I …

And then he comes along and makes you remember very, very vividly. I sat reading The Great Gatsby at the kitchen table after really only seeing Paul a few times that day. My phone started buzzing and I looked to see an incoming call from Pa…

That night, the night of the day dedicated to love, Paul and I had another conversation. That night, our relationship hit a very large speed bump. Or...so I thought then. I finally confronted him. About everything he'd been doing. Our Sims…

Still completely embarrassed, I grabbed Carrie, who held her bunch of roses dreamily in her arms. "Walk me to history?" I asked her. "Mmmmhm," she smiled, looking down at her roses that her boyfriend had given her. No sooner than when we ha…

Jason walked through the door, as calm and cool as ever, and I took a breath. I held a Hershey's chocolate kiss in my hands, and tossed it back and forth, one hand to the other. Mr. Andrews wasn't here today, so we had to direct ourselves…

I ate lunch with him and Heather. I tried not to look at him, but it was hard when all he did was talk to me. He smiled, laughed, scrunched his eyes shut and let his teeth curl back, and I almost had to just leave. It was hurting more and …

This morning, I woke up. And I took a breath. And I decided that I could do this. I could go to school, and put on a smile, and no one would know my pain. And then I could forget it, too, for a little bit. I could curl my hair, wear my pink…

Well...This Is New - 38 • Opuss № I

Last night, I asked Paul what all the fuss during lunch was about. I asked him about telling me not to walk so close to him. He told me it was all a joke. Earlier in the year, when he'd found out about my feelings for him, he'd actually don…

French class was difficult. Tom sat next to me, and kept poking me, begging me to know what was the matter. I just kept my head on my arms, closing my eyes, trying to keep in the tears. Why was Paul doing this? Why was he acting so...so... …

Well...This Is New - 34 • Opuss № I

I was starting to feel a little bit better. I'd texted Heather and asked her if what Tom had said was true, but she hadn't replied. Even though it was bothering me, I was with a few of my friends, and was cheered up a bit by their funny ant…
