Hi my name is Scarlet Johnson, when I was 10 years old I met Joe Anderson he moved next door to me, Joe Anderson went to the same school as my brother Dan Johnson and me. They started to get along so well that they ended up becoming best friends, since I met Joe I didn't like him that much even though I almost didn't treat him because I spent hours locked in my room, I really didn't like him because of his personality changes, I almost think he was bipolar because he is a combination of a cold and tender guy but at the same time rude but he had his kind side and he is the most confident person I have ever met but sometimes I have seen him shy because of comments from girls and why not if he was one of the guys they all loved but not me because for me he was the most annoying and hateful person I had ever met. Years went by... Now I am 17 years old and I am no longer a little girl, now I treated Joe a little more, although he was still the person I hated, when I was younger my brother (he trusted me and told me) that Joe had told him that he was adopted and that he had seen his real dad die, at first I did not believe him, but now I realize more because that is how it is. I am lying on my bed listening to music, I closed my eyes and my mind remembered a moment that I never told but that I had lived with Joe. Flashback When I was 12 years old Joe loved to make me mad by calling me little because he was older than my brother and I never liked him calling me little. One afternoon we were at his house watching a movie when suddenly my brother went out and just said "I'm coming home now" and all we heard was the door slamming, me and Joe just stood there watching. Then he came up to my ear and said, "I like you: - I like you The moment I heard those words I looked at him and stared at what he had said. Suddenly there was a total silence in the room, then Joe came closer to me and kissed me, the moment he finished kissing me he repeated -I like you I was in shock and just ran out of there ... End of Flashback I opened my eyes I couldn't stop remembering that moment, but I didn't know if I should believe him or not, after it happened I continued as if nothing happened because Joe two days later was dating a girl and I assumed he was just playing with me, I ended up hating him more, but that moment I keep thinking about it and I have only kept it for myself, not even to my best friend I have told her about this situation, because I don't want anyone to know about it, although that doesn't avoid what I felt back then. Damn it! I can never get you out of my head Joe - I say it out loud. -You're so crazy about me Hearing him say that, I stood up, but I didn't even notice when he came into the room, because the music was so loud. I was just in shock to see him so sexy leaning on the door in front of me, the moment I reacted, I yelled at him to get out of here and pushed him while I closed the door in his face, I stayed leaning on the door in shock and just listened as he left while laughing, I stayed a long time without leaving my room as I was dying of shame, he shouldn't have heard that. When I finally left my room, I went downstairs as I passed by the kitchen and saw that my mom was there, then I passed by the living room and saw my brother Dan playing video games in the living room alone, I went straight to the door as I just wanted to leave to think about what had happened, but when I went out my instinct made me look at Joe's house and saw him sitting on his door, I sighed and walked quickly to my car as I got in I heard them shouting: -My little girl A shiver ran through my body as I heard those words. I opened the door of the car as fast as possible but when I was about to get in someone holds the door to not open it, I turn around and look at him. - Where are you going little girl? - Do you care? - You are rude for taking me out of your room so abruptly, little girl," he says smiling. - You had no right to enter my room without knocking, at that moment my brother leaves the house and Joe approaches him, I take advantage of his distraction with my brother to get in the car and I take the opportunity to leave. When I was driving in my mind there were millions of questions like: Why did he behave like that with me? Why did he kiss me? Why didn't he tell me anything after that time? Did he just make fun of me? I tried not to think so much, but it was inevitable that so many questions came up, but I was not able to ask him any of those questions and just thinking about it made me hate him more because I felt stupid for thinking about him. After a good time of driving I went to the beach which was about 30 minutes away from my house, that place was my favorite place since that was where I thought clearly, but today I preferred to let the questions be carried away by the sea breeze and just let my mind go blank and clear my head while enjoying the views and the approaching sunset. After spending some time on the beach I decided to go back because it was getting dark. When I got home my mother asked me where I was, I just told her I was at the beach and went upstairs, locked myself in my room. I lay down on my bed and fell fast asleep, I was exhausted thinking so much about Joe and how confused I was about him and everything that had happened.
