Kenny’s Memoir Part 2
As a young man, the world opens up to you. There were things I didn’t fully understand back then, but that feeling… that feeling alone could drive a kid into investigation mode. The question always became: what’s next for tomorrow?
Nothing really changed, except now me and Paige had a thing going on. But life never stays simple for long - now Cindy gets thrown into the mix.
Yep, nothing I could really do about Cindy, my friend, because now I still had to show up to school hoping Lance didn’t find out about our little lip action. If he did, he might’ve wanted to kick my ass.
What did I do, you ask? I played it off like nothing even happened. You see, I had two things to lose at this point… well, one I cherished more than the other.
Let’s start with Lance. I wouldn’t really call him a good friend. However, he was a friend. So, apart from a boot print on one of my cheeks, this would’ve crushed him, because man… he really liked this chick.
Now the one that mattered most-Paige. I felt like if she found out, she would’ve looked at me differently. Damn… what the hell did I do?
Shockingly, Cindy never let up. As much as I played it off, she seemed like she was the one in charge. Now, my mind is telling me to run.
But why won’t my legs move?
Lucky nothing ever came from that; somehow, we all kept the peace through prep school. Nothing special really came from me and Paige either. The fire kept burning, but we left it where it was.
As for Lance and Cindy… I honestly have no freaking clue what became of them.
Now let’s jump forward a bit-graduation time.
Oh yeah, this felt like a huge step for all of us. Well… for me anyway. This was the next chapter.
High school.
