Why? </3 by Stupid taco!! (the snowy day read aloud txt) 📖

I walked into English class the first day of school. As soon as I stepped foot in the room we made eye contact! I’m not sure if it was love at first site or just a simple little crush. I wondered if he even noticed me… My name is Taylor. I am 17 years old and just started my senior year of high school. I would say I’m average looking, I have wavy dark brown hair that barely goes past my shoulders, and blue eyes. I may look average but my family is far from normal! I have two very protective older brothers and my mom is so strict I’m scared to talk to her. My mom has a boyfriend who actually helps me a lot but he is not my dad, but he is still a nice guy. We moved to the other side of town because Mark (my mom’s boyfriend) wanted a change of scenery and he thought it would be best for the family. BIG mistake!!! It’s all the way across town were my friends live, luckily we are all still going to the same high school. The day we all got our class schedules was one of the best days of my life mainly because I found out that all of my friends and I had all the same classes! Well accept me and Alison she has an extra class instead of gym because she is a dancer. Alison is one of my best friends! Actually she’s not my best friend she is more like my sister/therapist/mom. She has always been there for me. I’ve known her since first grade. As soon as I walk into class I hear her and all my other friends shout “Taylor get your butt over here we saved you a seat!!” I was greeted by the faces of some of my best friends, Alison, Halle, David, Sarah, and Sam. I couldn’t get the strange boy off of my mind his dark brown eyes so mysterious, but so gorgeous. His hair was a golden blond that fell in his face perfectly. I wanted to know his name so bad, and as if the teacher read my mind she told us that we were going to go around the room each of us standing and telling our name along with some facts about ourselves. I was so nervous for my turn, but I couldn’t wait until his turn. It was finally his turn, I was so anxious just to know his name. As if some gift from the gods when he spoke his voice was so hypnotizing. “Hello, my name is Skylar I am an only child and I live with my dad in a neighborhood called creekstone, I am also very clumsy and my favorite color is green.” as soon as he said that my heart skipped a beat because I lived in the same neighborhood, I’m the clumsiest person on this earth, and my favorite color is green! While thinking about Skylar I didn’t notice that it was almost my turn to go. I noticed as soon as Halle sat done and nudged me to go. I said “Hi, my name is Taylor I have broken my finger three times, both of my arms, and my leg all at different times, I fall A LOT! I also live with my mom and her boyfriend in a three story house that has 12 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms.” “What neighborhood do you live in?” the teacher asked being a bit noisy. “Creekstone” I said kind of shyly. I noticed that Skylar was staring at me from across the room. “What happened to your dad?” asked the extremely noisy teacher. I stare in disbelief as she asked that then I felt two people hold my hand. On my left Halle to my right David, Alison and Sarah got up and went to the teacher and showed her a note and also whispered something to her so that the whole class wouldn’t hear. I already knew what they were doing. They told her about my dad dyeing and then showed her the poem I wrote in seventh grade that made everybody cry, the poem about my dad. Halle and David both stand and hold me close and tell me it’s okay. The teacher is still reading my poem as Alison and Sarah both come and give me a hug. “Taylor I am so sorry, may I read this to the class? I know it must be a hard subject but this is one of the best poems I have ever read.” The teacher asked silently, wryly. “Sure that’s ok” I say shakily the poem read ‘Dear dad,
I would like to tell you I am so sorry you had to suffer, you told me not to worry, you told me everything would be okay, I would like to tell you I miss you like crazy, so during our next encounter in the white clouds, with you and God, you will wrap me up in a bear hug and tell me it’s okay to let go….’ (This is an actual poem I wrote in the eighth grade about my dad it actually did make my friends cry) after that Skylar kept staring at and I would even catch myself stare back. I think I really like this boy…. The first bell rang releasing us from first period I walk out of class only to be grabbed from behind and pulled against someone. I didn’t know what was happening or who the mysterious person was until I turned around and was confronted with dark brown eyes…. It was Skylar!

“It’s Taylor right?” Skylar asked still holding onto me. “Yes and your Skylar right?” I said delighted that he was still holding me. I didn’t want him to let go. “I’m sorry for being so noisy and stopping you from getting to your next class… I just moved here and all and don’t have any friends yet and was wondering if you would be so kind as to show me around and maybe hang out after school?” he asked. “Um sure let me see your schedule and I’ll show you around to all of your classes.” He hands me his schedule and I stare at it in disbelief. “Well it won’t be difficult to show you around at all.” I say. “Why is that?” he asks. “Well you are in every one of my classes” I say. “Really?” he asks with a hint of excitement in his voice. “Yupp, same teachers and everything.” I said “Well then I guess we better get to class then.” “sure” I show him around all day and as soon as the last bell rings he is standing in front of me asking if I was ready. I said yes but I wanted to stop by my house so I can drop off my car. He follows behind me so he wouldn’t get lost. As soon as I get out of my car I notice he has parked in my new neighbors drive way…..“Do you know the people who live here” he asked “Um yeah… do you know the people who live there” I asked referring to the house he parked at. “Yes I do. I live there with my father.” He said “Oh well in that case welcome to the neighborhood looks like we will be seeing a lot of each other” I said “Why is that?” he asked “Well we are neighbors, I guess you’re the new kid my mom saw moving in.” I said. “No way? That is awesome. So are you ready to go? You can invite your friends if you want.” He said “ok coolio how is bowling? We can all get ready and meet up at my house.” “Ok sounds fun! I’ll see you at 7.” “Ok bye.” I called Halle, Alison, Sarah, Sam, and David asking them if they wanted to go bowling with us. Halle, Alison, and David were the only ones who could go. So the girls and David came over and we all got ready at my house. Once 7 o’clock hit I was so anxious I couldn’t stand it anymore. We walked out of my house to our cars. Alison, Halle, and David all rode in the same car to my house so they decided to ride there together and leave right after. Skylar and I took my car since I know where it is. We all get in our cars and drive to the bowling alley.
