Chapter 14

Another Trip Around The Sun

Monday had rolled around much sooner than I would have liked. After too little sleep and too much to think about, I felt restless and exhausted all at the same time. Trying to ease at least one of the things that ailed me, I recruited Tara into walking the school track with me during lunch. Much more concerned about her already perfect physique since her relationship with Jason, she was happily moving one foot in front of the other rather swiftly, setting the pace for a much brisker walk than I had intended. It was all I could do to keep her from breaking into a jog. In an effort to slow her down a little, I initiated some conversation by bringing up my previous night with Gabe.

“So...you are not going to believe what happened last night.” It worked like a charm, and Tara slowed down, allowing me to catch up.

“Did Noah make another move?” she asked curiously. I shook my head and grinned.

“Nope. This time it was Gabe.”

Tara’s jaw dropped and for a moment she looked like she might stop all together. “What?!”

“I know!” I said, mirroring her disbelief.

“Wait, I thought he has a girlfriend.” Tara was slowly digesting the information.

“He does,” I said matter-of-factly.

“Huh.” Tara didn’t say anything else, but it was evident that she had more on her mind regarding the subject.

“Yeah. Anyway, nothing happened. I guess it was more about actually saying what had been unspoken between us for a while,” I added, hoping to ease her mind and keep her from jumping to any conclusions in which I came off as a home wrecker and he was a total prick. This only seemed to confuse Tara more.

“What do you mean?”

I shrugged.

“I don't know, I guess I mean there's always been like this curiosity about what it would be like if we hooked up. I'm not saying I have feelings for him, but there's definitely always been an attraction, plus, I love him. He's one of my closest friends.” It made sense to me, but judging by the look on Tara’s face, it wasn’t as logical as it seemed to me.

“And he feels the same way?” she asked.

“Yeah, I guess so. I mean, it's not that surprising, if you think about it. I've been like his substitute girlfriend for years, since Janette is so far away and they hardly ever see each other.”

Slowly, Tara began to nod.

“That's true. So, do you think he will break up with her?”

That thought hadn’t occurred to me at all. Not the night before and certainly not now.

“For me? God no! I certainly hope not.” I almost laughed at the thought.

“So, what happens now with you two?” Tara asked, still looking pretty serious and unsure about my lighthearted approach to the whole situation.

“Nothing, I hope. I just want things to go on like before. I mean, it's kinda nice to know that he has the same feelings, but I don't think either of us expects anything to come of it.
