Stories Of Love
Friends Part 1
|
One day, when I was a freshman in high school, I saw a kid
from my class was walking home from school. His name was Kyle.
It looked like he was carrying all of his books. I thought to
myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a
Friday? He must really be a nerd ." I had quite a weekend
planned (parties and a football game with my friends' tomorrow
afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on. As I was
walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him.
They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and
tripping him so he landed in the dirt. His glasses went flying,
and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him. He
looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes. My heart
went out to him. So, I jogged over to him and as he crawled
around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye.
As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks.
They really should get lives." He looked at me and said,
"Hey thanks!"
There was a big smile on his face.
It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude. I helped
him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it turned
out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him
before. He said he had gone to private school before now. I
would have never hung out with a private school kid before.
We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books.
He turned out to be a pretty cool kid. I asked him if he wanted
to play a little football with my friends. He said yes.
We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the
more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him. Monday
morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books
again. I stopped him and said, "Boy, you are gonna really
build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!"
He just laughed and handed me half the books. Over the next
four years, Kyle and I became best friends. When we were seniors,
we began to think about college. Kyle decided on Georgetown,
and I was going to Duke.
