Part 3
I heard Paul calling my name followed by a loud crash. I just couldn’t turn back though.I couldn’t get the image out of my head. I'd never seen anything like that before. This was the most embarrassing moment of my life. I moved my crutches as fast as I could hoping that he wouldn’t catch up to me but it didn’t work. I felt his hand on my shoulder and stopped. I turned around but avoided making eye contact. I just couldn’t look at him.
"I'm sorry Paul… I should have waited at your shed door… I'm sorry"
I couldn't apologize enough, I was so embarrassed, though I couldn’t imagine how he felt about it.
" I umm…. Well I had to… I didn't think anyone would come, especially you…"
I looked at him and laughed.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Well I guess if you gotta go, you gotta go." I said and he laughed with me.
We looked at each other for what seemed like minutes, I tried to think of something to say and remembered the reason I was there in the first place.
"You left your wallet at my house… I brought it over for you"
He took it from me quickly.
"Thanks"
"So what do you do in that shed?"
He looked up really quickly at this point. The look on his face was gave me the feeling he didn’t want me to know.
"Umm… nothing… nothing at all"
I didn’t believe him in the least. But I wasn’t about to pry into his privacy. I didn’t want to do anything spoil the friendship. Though I was so curious.
"oh… ok… well… I've gotta go now"
"Sure… umm… Chris…. Please don’t tell anyone about … you know"
I laughed again and nodded. I turned away from him and made my way home. I heard his door slam and burst out laughing again. I so badly wandered what was in his shed though.
And somehow I was going to find out. I arrived home I picked up the phone when I got to my room and called Cathy.
"Hello?" I heard Cathy say as she answered the phone
"Hey, guess what?"
"What?"
"I just saw…. Well… I umm….. " At this point I remembered the fact that id promised Paul I wouldn’t tell anyone about it.
"What? WHAT?" She said
"Well actually I shouldn't tell you… I promised I wouldn't"
"C'mon Chris, I thought I was your best friend." She replied in a whiny voice
"Yeah you are... but"
"Well tell me, I promise I wont tell anyone else… if you’re my friend you'll tell me"
She was right. She's my best friend and we'd always told each other everything.
"Well…… ok …. I went to Paul's to give him his wallet and….. well he was… behind the shed weeing."
"Did you see anything?"
"everything"
"OH MY GOD!" she said in a high pitched voice
"Please don’t say anything" I pleaded
"I wont…. You know my sister said that she didn’t see one until she was 16. That’s when she had sex for her first time. Are you going to have sex with Paul?"
"NO!"
What was she thinking?
"Ok ok, sorry"
"Anyway I gotta go, mum wants me to take a bath and rest my leg"
"Oh Chris… take it easy"
We said goodbye and I hung up the phone.
Sex with Paul? I don’t think so… the thought of it Is just… well I don’t know. That would be so…
I just decided to forget about the whole idea. I went to bed with the image of Paul running after me with his pants around his ankles. The next day I went over to Paul's to see how his first day of school was. I knocked on the door waiting for his mum to answer but no-one came. I waited for a while and figured no-one was inside so I went around the back to see it Paul was in his shed. I knocked on the door and still I heard nothing. He wasn’t home, no-one was home. Reluctantly I went to turn the door handle of the shed and it was open. I felt like I was breaking in and wanted to turn back but I just couldn’t.
I stepped in slowly and switched on the light and I couldn’t believe what I saw. I was completely speechless. It was amazing…
"What are you doing in here?" I heard sharply from the door. I turned around quickly to see Paul in the Door.
"Paul i…. "
"I asked you what you were doing in here"
