Aoey looked at me surprised by my confession. She looked up from my
hands and into my eyes as if she was trying to hypnotize me. I almost
stopped breathing. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears. I reached out towipe them away in surprise.
“What happened, Aoey?”
“Really?”
“Do I look like a liar?”
It bothered me a little that she didn't believe me.
“No, not like that. I never expected you to say this... first love? And now?”
Aoey looked so confused. I sighed with a smile and shook my head.
“Of course, you are still my first love.
If I don't count my art teacher who
looked like a pug. But now I know that wasn't love. I just loved the dog, but
my mom wouldn't let me have it.”
I thought about that with disappointment. My mom was so bad.
“My heart is about to burst.”
