Amelia
The relentless thumping of Trevor’s jumping jacks pounded through my
ceiling like a herd of elephants doing the cha-cha. I pressed my pillow
tighter against my ears, wishing it could muffle the rhythmic clinking of
weights that joined the symphony of my shattered peace.
In my groggy haze, I imagined Trevor in all his rugged glory—probably
shirtless, flexing his muscles and dripping with sweat. Ugh, that didn’t make
me any less annoyed with him right now. Curse my vivid imagination!
As if that weren’t bad enough, Hero’s excited barks echoed through my
bedroom. I groaned, clutching my pillow tighter, wishing I could teleport
myself to a deserted island—preferably one without morning people or
hyperactive puppies.
Or perhaps I could fashion my pillow into some sort of weapon. I could
visualize it—me, storming upstairs in my bunny slippers and oversized
nightshirt, brandishing a pillow like some sleep-deprived Amazonian queen.
The intimidating image of Hello Kitty emblazoned on my chest was bound to
strike fear into my enemy.
Giving up on rest, I dragged myself out of bed with a heavy sigh. The cool
wooden floor was a small relief under my feet as I walked half asleep to the
bathroom. I splashed icy water on my face, hoping the shock would jolt me
awake and clear the fog of irritation swirling in my mind.
Better yet, maybe it would erase the memory of the fateful conversation
with Susan that led to this ill-advised decision. “Come on, Amelia, he’s
changed. Plus, you need the income.” Changed, my foot. The only thing that
seemed to have changed was the intensity of his workouts.
As I patted my face dry with a towel, I recalled the dreadful day when
Susan and Emily convinced me to tell Trevor that I had a crush on him.
Trevor was a senior and Susan’s brother. I moved to Rivermint Cove right
before freshman year, and of course, I was instantly smitten. I found myself
doodling “Mrs. Amelia Phillips” with hearts above all the ‘i’s on any piece of
paper I could find.
I worked up the courage to tell him after baseball practice, behind the
bleachers by the field. We had the most magical kiss—my first real kiss. I
was on cloud nine—until he blew me off the next day. Then, a week later, he
took off to basic training for the military without so much as a goodbye.
I remembered fighting back tears in front of him. I spent the rest of the
weekend crying on Susan’s shoulder while Emily supplied endless amounts
of ice cream and sappy romantic movies.
That was back when I was young, sweet Amelia with wide-eyed dreams of
love. Right then, I was grumpy Amelia, with bags under my eyes and bunny
slippers on my feet.
I took several deep breaths and reminded myself that people can change
and grow up. With that thought, I resolved not to let his disruptive presence
ruin my day. No matter how many weights he clanged.
I threw on a cute floral summer dress and brushed through my tangled hair.
Emily would help cheer me up over coffee.
