Today is not an ordinary day, today is the day.  My date with Jack, finally our first date. I know him since we were kids, we have always been in school together. I can say we are like good friends, like sister and brother. All began one day, a few month ago,  that I noticed he was acting strange, in a different way, he started to take distance from me and I didnt know why.  I just knew that I missed him so much so the next day I decided to ask him if something had happend and why he was acting different but everything was okey, he acted normal like if nothing had happend, he just asked me to go to have dinner to his home, I said yes, like always.  When we arrived he told me that he had something important to tell me and I kept quit, thinking all the posible things that  could be, maybe he was going on a trip or he have to move from town and leave me here and then he looked at  me, into my eyes and told me “I like you”, I didnt know what to say, I was in shock, I just left the house without saying a word. When I arrived to my home, I couldnt sleep, I stayed awake all night thinking about those words and what would I do. And then my phone started to ring, It was Jack, I answerd and he started to apologyze about what he said and I said “Let’s have a date”, he didnt say anything so I repeated again but more precisely “Let’s have a date”. After an uncomfortable moment Jack would pick me up on Friday at 9 pm. So here I am, waiting for him to pick me up, I am really nervous I couldnt imagine this was going to happen. He is finally here, I am getting into the car. We are both quit during the road, we can’t even see each other, is really strange. He is asking me what would I like to do, I dont know what to say. But he finally say “Lets go to the movie theater”. It sounds good, otherwise I havent gone to a movie theater in month so yes, I say yes. He is buying the tickets. Should I pay my part, like we always do? I tried taking out my wallet but he refused to accept the money, he said”Let’s do it like a real date, like how it is suppose to be”. I chose Love, Rosie a romantic movie to make it worst, even more uncomfortable. After two hours and a half the movie ended. It is too late and I have to go back to my house, my mom will pick me up at midnight so we have thirty minutes to talk, nothing is coming out from us, he asked me if I had liked the movie, I said yes just to say something but I really didnt pay attention to the movie, I was more connected with my first date with Jack. My mom is calling me, she should be here, I said goodbye to Jack and I thanked him for everything and then He kissed me, I wasnt expecting that, I am in shock now, I only said goodbye again and I got into my mom’s car. My mom asked me how was it and I didnt have words to describe it. Good, thanks for asking. What a worst date ever. I think movie theater is not a good option for a fist date, we didnt have time to talk, it was like watching a movie in your house alone, we didnt see each other and all our topics were gone, those times of a good friendship were gone, no more stories, no more breaks together at school. I know this date will ruin our friendship, at least Im very tired so I will sleep son. I dont even want to imagine tomorrow at school what would be our reaction. I think sometimes we have to leave things like how they are. Look at me now, I lost a friend, more tan that, I lost my friend from the childhood and my brother. But if something is true, is that we can not choose who we fall in love with, so I respect that and I hope he understand that is no tour destiny to be together. What it seems to be a great date, end being my worst date ever. (761)
