I met him at a carnival, of all corny places. The summer I turned eighteen, in that chaos of neon lights and cheap thrills, I met a man so sweet, so beautiful, he seemed to come from another world. We had one night: intense, scary, real. Then I ran, like I always do. Because I didn’t want to be abandoned again.
But I couldn’t run far enough.
I knew him as Evan that night. When I walked into his classroom, he became Mr. Wilke.
My teacher.
I don’t know if what we’re doing is wrong. The law says one thing; my heart says screw the law. I can’t let him lose his job. And I can’t lose him.
In the movies, this would have a happy ending. I grow up. I love, I lose, I learn. And I move on. But this is life, and there’s no script. You make it up as you go along.
And you don’t pray for a happy ending. You pray for it to never end.
I just finished “Unteachable” By Leah Ryder. I practically inhaled it. I loved how writers that really know how to observe the world around them have that under layer of sensitivity and perception the rest of the world lacks. I felt everything Maise felt and it was an amazing ride. Thank you Leah! I know what it’s like to fall that hard for someone and it was amazing to feel all those things again. When you can’t wait to see each other again because you just… need to, because otherwise you can’t breathe. I love how-when you are in love like that- you see the world different, and even the things that are not beautiful, look beautiful.
Thank you, thank you!
Cheers,
Julieta
