The Past We Can’t Go Back To Ch 8

The Past We Can’t Go Back To Ch 8

Amy came to find me one last time, the night 

before the SATS

She was standing outside my house

shrouded in the dim light of the sensor

I was walking back from night study hall, and 

saw her standing alone

I felt a surge of irritation. If I didn’t live here,

wouldn’t go near her

I walked up, and Amy waved. You going 

home too, Tom?” 

I grunted

She gave me an awkward smile. I’ve been 

く 

thinking a lot about things lately. I’ve been 

really awful” 

She was watching my face

I shook my head. Just go to bed. The SATs 

are tomorrow.” 

Amy bit her lip, looking troubled. Can’t you 

forgive me? Can we still be friends?” 

No,I said bluntly

Amy froze, staring at me, surprised

She probably thought that as long as she 

apologized, I’d forgive her

That’s why she hadn’t tried to talk to me in 

the past few weeks, except for that one note

All her attention was on Jake

But tonight, she was going home, so she thought she might as well apologize

Then I’d forgive her, and we’d go back to 

being childhood best friends

And I’d still treat her like gold, doing anything 

for her

But it was over

Seriously? I came all the way over here to 

apologize, and you’re still going to be a jerk?” 

Amy asked, frowning

She always looked at me like that

Whenever I made her angry, she’d pout and 

glare, waiting for me to make it up to her

And I always did

This time, I lifted my chin. Yeah, I am.” 

Amy gritted her teeth, really angry now

Jake was right. You bookworms are so 

closedminded!” 

She pointed a finger at me. After eighteen 

years, you still act like a baby. You’re so 

angry, just get over it!” 

She was working herself up, annoyed that

wasn’t giving in

Look at Jake. He never stays mad. He’s so 

cool and relaxed. But you? You’re so 

emotional. It’s annoying!” 

That’s what she really thought

All along

I chuckled, a little bitterly

Someone like me, too boring for Amy

She was selfish, spoiled, and wild. Someone 

like Jake was perfect for her

I hope you and Jake have a lot of kids.

said calmly, not reacting

Amy was speechless. She turned and walked 

away, then stopped. Oh, we will. Tonight, I’m 

going to spend the night with Jake. I don’t 

care about the SATS.” 

She was getting some kind of sick revenge

She wanted me to be scared, to beg her to stay, to beg her to take the SATS seriously

She always knew how to push my buttons

I suddenly remembered that we’d once promised each other that we’d go to college 

together

But she’d forgotten all about it

And I didn’t want to remember it either

My heart was made of stone. Whatever.”
