Guy the Mind Mage

As I look at the photo of that 2003 summer, all I remember is laughter and flirtatious fun. I don't remember when I first met him. It must have been high school band. Somehow he became commadeared into becomming one of us...a Counterpart. He was Faya's bane, and to be perfectly honest...i was jealous. I wanted Guy to be my foil, not stingy Bob/Tommy. There was something about how he would wipe his straight brown hair out of his laughing hazel eyes, that would make me smile and yearn to be a part of him.

Guy was never your normal guy, in my opinion. He was strong spoken, strong personalitied, and had alot of passion. He is one of those people that everybody is drawn to. Its not necessarily carisma, but i believe its his constant smile and entrancing eyes that pulls every girl's soul into his vast arms. Yes, i am one of those girls. I always has been.

I remember in high school junior English, being assigned to do a project with Guy. I was secretly happy. Maybe this was my chance to finaly land the allusive Guy, that I had been waiting for, for two years. I would proper myself up, when i would go to his house to work on the paper. Maybe he would notice. I don't think he ever did. He just frustrated me to no end. He did that on purpose. And to this day, i believe he found sport in what he did, and i still believe he is an ass because of it. We laugh now. We are framing that project if we ever end up living together.

There really is not much I remember of high school with Guy. Come the middle of Junior year, he went off the raidar. He started dating a girl i grew up with in private school. At FBBA, she was the blonde cute girl that all the guys swooned over...and i was just the brunette who sat at the boys table because the girls didn't accept me. Either way, he started dating Star (That's what I'm going to call her since she became the center of his universe and then died, like a super nova). Star and Guy were inseperatable. And I missed my friend because of it. I missed my one male who saved me from the Counterpart's group. I missed Guy.

I realized sometime into Junior year of high school that i had to let Guy go. He had become an ass in my opinion, for dropping his friends for a girl. I didn't understand at the time...i do now. But on top of that, i had to place my own flirtatious feelings aside, in the hopes that i would get my chance with him in the future. I forgot about my feelings for Guy for over three years.

During those years, i grew and experianced more than i ever thought possible. It stung. But then for some odd reason, Guy walzed back into my life. Gradually, but surely his hands became tender, and his face softened around me. Life and relationships hadn't been easy on him either, through time. I understood. Its interesting when you are given a second chance with a person. It feels like those years of waiting never happened. We picked up right from that Sophmore year flirtations in Faya's pool. Him and his mating feathers. Me and my swimming away as the "prey". Him comming and catching me and swinging me around the pool. I'm surprised nobody picked up on our flirts, but they didn't. We laugh now.

I found something in his arms. I found the refuge that i've always been yearning for. I found tenderness in his eyes, and he hasn't stopped smiling. We have both changed, but in an odd way, we have changed together.

I have my high school friend back. And i have my high school crush in my arms. Its a cinderella romance story, that is no where close to being done. Interesting isn't it.

Guy is seriously that guy that all girls want. I was just fortunate enough to actually snag him. Our classical romance story isn't finished, but a new chapter is being written...and i can't wait.
