.“I don’t know.There is a chance my dad is transferring.I may be moving.”“What? You didn’t tell me!” Devon caressed Laura’s hands behind his neck as he spoke.“I just found out today.I know, it sucks.This would be our third move.”“I’m sorry to hear that.Hopefully things will work out for the best.” I stared at my feet half buried in the sand now trying to stifle the smile tugging at my lips.Laura was fun to be around, and before today, I thought she and Devon were cute together.Now I did not know what I was feeling.I wanted to understand what was happening between us.Didn’t Devon feel what I was feeling?I went to bed with Devon on my mind.The day had brought a sea change to our friendship.I was not the kind of girl to interfere with relationships.Devon and Laura seemed happy together, and I would not interfere with them.But I could not help wonder how Devon felt about me after today.Did he feel the same current when we touched? I fell asleep, knowing that this summer I would remain Devon’s friend.But I also knew that if Laura was moving, there would be nothing in our way for us to face how we really felt about each other.~Devon~Devon reached into the refrigerator for the dinner his mom had left for him.She always worked late, and he often wondered how he could change things before his mom ruined herself working too hard.For now, all he could do was work the yards in the neighborhood in the summer, and graduate from high school with good enough grades to get into a decent college.His thoughts turned to Erin almost immediately.Her smile could light up any dark area in his life.It was true when they were kids, but it was even truer now.Devon tried to sort through what he was feeling.Most of the best days in his life were spent with Erin, but this—this topped them all.Devon was not prepared to see Erin the way he saw her today: her silky blonde hair cascading over her golden skin, her bright blue eyes laughing and filling him with delight.The smell of her sweetness still permeated his senses.Devon prepared to get up early, his heart still pounding inside his chest.He still wanted to see Laura this summer.She was one of his first girlfriends, which put her in a special place in his heart in her own right.But now his heart was torn, and he began to think about Erin more and more.He would never hurt Laura, but his feelings for Erin had crept up on him suddenly and without warning.He was unsure of how to handle it.Should they just be friends like everything was normal? Devon was completely unprepared for the grace and overwhelming beauty that he had seen in Erin today.Devon sprawled across his bed, placed his hands behind his head, and stared at the ceiling.He could not pretend, at least convincingly, he thought, that things would ever be normal between them again.Chapter Three~Devon~Leaves.Devon had to rake the leaves.They even did that together.That was the deal.Devon would help her rake the leaves in her yard, and she would help him rake the leaves in his yard.Then, they would probably have lunch and talk about whatever.“Getting started without me, huh?” Erin was wearing a red and black plaid fall jacket, her blonde hair in a ponytail, with a dark sweatband over her head.Devon snapped the sweatband on her head.“So you’re really going to work today?”Erin side kicked him in the behind, and jotted off to play in the leaves as if she had done nothing.“Oh, it’s so beautiful!” Erin was scooping leaves from the ground, spinning around, tossing them into the air; the colorful leaves mixed with the colors of her jacket.Devon secretly loved the way she dressed up for every occasion, like it was a big deal.Today she looked like fall, the leaves falling around her as she spun and danced around, her smile too much for him to take.“You’re such a girl,” Devon said, leaning on the rake.”Where’s the rake, smartypants?” Erin was bouncing from foot to foot with her hands clasped behind her back.“Here, take this one.I’ll get another one in the garage.”Devon grabbed another rake, his hands slightly moist from seeing Erin again after this summer.The summer everything changed.The summer he wished he could skip and go back to feeling normal.Laura had moved away before school started
