Chapter 1 – “Why…why” 
 The phone rang, I don’t know why, but I always was the one whopicked the phone up in my house. “Hello” I said, “Hey man, what’s up??, howare things going with Michelle??” my friend Kyle, said expecting good news,“Hey Kyle, not much man, I don’t want to talk about it” I said those lastwords full of sadness, “Whoa what happened??, you know what I’ll pick youup at your place in an hour, I’m on my way” he said noticing my tone of voice; “No man it’s ok..” I said, trying to avoid talking about what had wenton this couple of days, “I’m on my way, see you soon” he said, not letting mesay anything else to not make him come, I wasn’t really feeling like talking.Kyle arrived, he just honked on his red truck; “Hey mom, I’m going out,I’ll be back later…” I said, trying not to make anyone notice I was goingout…”Hey wait a second.., where are you going??” my mom asked thesecond I said I’m going out, “I don’t know, probably to the movies, or to themall not sure, Kyle is just outside, I won’t be out to late” I said in a half liecause I didn’t even knew where I was going, “Fine, just don’t be out late…yougot your cell??, just in case” she said letting me go, “Yeah of course, I alwayscarry it…ok bye mom” I said walking out the house, and into Kyle’s truck.Kyle was just waving his hand towards my mom, “Hi, Mrs. Smith” he said tomy mom; My mom just waved back..; so I got in the truck, “Hey” I said, “Heyman, you didn’t sound so good on the phone, what’s up??” he said kind of worried, “Nothing, things are going south with Michelle, and well I’m just sickof things never working out with the girls I like, ever….Why? Why man?” Isaid full of hate of all my disappointing tries with the girls I liked; “Shawneverything happens for a reason, you just have to be patient, soon I knowman, there is gonna come the right girl for you, just be patient” Kyle said,trying to calm me, “I’m just sick of me, and sick of always choosing thewrong girls, or sometimes not the wrong girl, but the girl who is takenalready, or me always messing things up, it’s not fair…” I said justdisappointed in myself, “I know it’s not fair, but believe me when she comes,the right one I mean, you’re just going to realize that none of this evermattered” he said, talking out of experience, “It’s easy for you to say, youhave Emily….It’s just hurts so badly, I can’t take this anymore” I said, youcould even feel the pain in my voice; “Just try to hang in there, I know thepain is a bitch, just be patient and hold on man” he said, trying to make mefeel better.

A couple of minutes passed by in silence, “So…where are we going??” Isaid interrupting the silence inside the truck, “I need to run a few errands,then wherever you’d like, you need to clear your mind away from all of theseMichelle stuff going on right now” he said, “I don’t know, I’m not feeling likebeing out right now” I said trying in an attempt to leave soon back home,and just think over things; so we stopped at the little store in town, Kyle saidher mom needed some stuff to cook dinner, so we got out and entered thesmall store; Kyle ran into a friend, “Hey Allison” he said to the girl she saw,she turned around, “Oh hey Kyle, how are you?” the girl said, then she gaveme a look, she had a humble and warm smile, I couldn’t help but to returnthe smile, “I’m great, you?? What are you doing here?? It’s great to see you”Kyle responded, “I’m good, thanks… my family is moving here, it’s good tosee you too” she said, and she kept on looking at me by some crazy reason,with that warm contagious smile, “Good, I’m glad…Oh Allison, this is Shawn,Shawn this is Allison” Kyle said, finally noticing that look she gave me, “HiShawn, nice to meet you” she said, “Hi Allison, nice to meet you too…” Isaid, still smiling, I couldn’t help but smile when I looked at her, she wasabout my height a little shorter but not by much, her hair was straight andblonde, her face was like an angel, and her smile was just simply beautiful,there wasn’t a doubt this girl was gorgeous…”Hey Shawn, I’ll be right back, Igot to pick some stuff my mom asked me to bring for dinner, I’ll see youback at the door in half hour?” Kyle said to me, noticing I was simplycaptivated by this girl, “Yeah sure” I said not paying any attention, just tryingto be with Allison alone, Kyle just went off “Hey Allison, it was nice to seeyou, I guess I’ll see you around, don’t be a stranger…” he said as he wasgoing away, “Yeah you too Kyle, goodbye” she said as Kyle was walkingaway.“Do you want to walk with me??” Allison said to me, “Of course” I said just the second she said those words responding. “Where do you know Kylefrom??” she asked me, “From school, we’ve been friends since the 4
th
grade,when I moved here, and you??” I said, asking her the same question, “Fromback home, on Florida, Orlando, this last summer Kyle went to his uncle’shouse there, where his uncle was my neighbor, and well I knew him there.”She responded, “Oh ok, so you’re from Florida??” I said, asking just wantingto know more about her, wanting to know everything about her, “Yeah, yousaid you moved here on your 4
