My FIRST Love story - PT 2

Over the year we kept in contact really well, with letters (mostly on her part) and phone calls and emails. It seemed like it would be forever before we would see each other again. But eternity became tomorrow, and I was picked again to go to the kickoff and the Chicago trip. But this year was radically different. People were on the team only for trips, and few people did any real work. The team was mostly SSSS now, and there was even a split of the team, caused by the differences in thought on how the team should have been run between myself and my best friend. With the replacement of the teachers and administration who worked on the robotics team before, team 108 took a swan dive into the asphalt this year. Many mistakes on the team were made, and I let it bring my spirit down.

I was practically just a mope-head by the time I got to chicago, and that was not how Elvira had first met and knew me. The only thing that I had as a glimmer of happiness was being able to relax with Elvira during the competition. She had been assigned to strategy, and had to keep track of different teams. And was afraid of being seen too close to me by her teachers for fear of not getting to go to Nationals. Nationals I was the same way. It took me until Friday night, at a pizza party held by Wildstang at the All Star Sports, to finally snap outta it. But when I did, I didnt stay close with Elvira and she was upset at my character change from Energy filled to Deeply Depressed.

But we both stayed together that Sunday, and got over everything just by being in each others presence for a day. Once again, we parted with a kiss that neither of us wanted to end, and tears in my eyes. These ones lasted until I was on the bus this time, for I knew I had wasted those few days I got to spend with her just moping about, and would have to wait another year for the that time again.

I never did reclaim that time, unfortunately. Over the following year, I had graduated and was heading to college locally. Elvira was a senior and had a lot on her plate. We chatted on the phone and on IM and email much less than the previous year. I was the one usually calling her, though she called every now and again. Time passed, and we discussed different things, including the difficulties of her being in Chicago and me in Florida. I started tossing up ideas about us dating around, and being very open with her and encouraging her to be open with me.

Then one phonecall, she brought up that we should just be friends. I was rather heart-broken, but what could I say, No? I never really did claim that we were boyfriend and girlfriend, so what could I do? I cried a bit then, acted as though everything were okay. It seemed like it was, because by the end of the phone call, things were really unclear as to what was between us. I just pretended that It never happened. But Then it was brought up again, only closer to kickoff time, in another phone call. More crying on my end, but once again I pretended like it never happened.
