15 Years Ago"Jen!" Someone yells out, knocking on my door. I opened it, looking at the light brown eyes of a boy my age. Cole. "You left your doll at my house." He hands it to me, "Here, I cleaned it for you."I smiled. “Thank you Cole.” We both hugged.The next morning, the sun was shining and the birds chirped. I wore my favorite pink princess pajamas and the doll Cole gave back was sitting next to my desk, waiting for me to play with it. My mom cooks her delicious homemade blueberry pancakes, my favorite."Good morning Jen-bear." Thats the nickname my mom gave me."Good morning mom.""It’s Saturday. What are you planning to do today?"Should I go outside and play with Cole? Or something else? I think to myself “Cole! I want to go play with Cole today.”"I dont think that’s going to happen." Her tone lowers."Why not?" I’m worried. Everytime I ask mom if I can go outside with Cole, she says yes. Why not this time?"Well honey. Cole moved."Without thinking I run outside, only seeing an empty house. How come I didn’t notice? Why didn’t Cole say good-bye?Present dayThat day still makes me upset. I have to admit, I had a little girl crush on Cole. He was my best-friend. At least I thought he was.A couple years ago, I moved to Los Angeles. I still miss Texas, but LA is not as bad as I think it was going to be.On my way to school, I turn on my radio. “Here on 95.3 we have IM5!” The radio-hosts introduces. There’s something in this band that seems weird. “Hey I’m Will, I’m Dana, I’m Gabe, I’m David!” They say one by one."And I’m Cole!" I freeze and stop the car in the middle of the street, turning off my radio. Cole? The cars behind me honk and I continue driving. Could this be the ACTUAL Cole that I spent my 4 years of my childhood with? Is he the Cole that left me?"Shut up Jen. Stop thinking so much." I tell myself. There are thousands of Cole’s in the world. He couldn’t possibly be the one. Plus he doesn’t sing.I arrive at school. My friend Mae and Liz run up to me with good news."JEN! DID YOU HEAR?" Mae exclaims. I give them a confuse look as they wait for me to ask ‘What?’"WELL. IM5 IS GOING TO BE IN TOWN! AND I GOT ALL THREE OF US SOME TICKETS!""I dont really know the band?""Well you’re still going! Plus, it’s TONIGHT" Mae says."Tonight? Bu-""Nope, you’re coming. You need to make up for that thing I did for you." Liz interrupts. "Psh. I even bought you tickets.""Fine." We head out to class and finish the day with AP Calc. Before leaving school Mae tells me the show starts at 7 PM.I have 5 hours to get ready. For the most part. I just take the time to get ready. Usually I don’t do much to get ready but I’m actually excited. Am I doing this for Cole? Or for myself? Why am I excited to go to a concert that I didn’t want to go to in the first place?Mae and Liz comes at 6:00 to pick me up. They said that we had to be there early since there would be a long line. And what do you know? When we arrive there, the line was long.The three of us successfully make our in and find our seat in the front row. “You got front row tickets?”"Hell yea." Liz snaps.The show finally starts and all five boys head out. The crowd is alive. I take a look at all five boys. When my eye’s switched to Cole, I realized it was him. I was in shock.Half way through the show, the boys stop and play some games. “Okay, so who would like to do the Touch Down Dance with us?” Cole questions. Everyone raises their hands, begging to get picked."Okay, you over there!" David points to the right."You!" Dana grabs the girls hand."Hmm. Last one!" Will announces.Cole looks and suddenly locks eyes with me. We stare at each-other for quite some time. “Bro,” Gabe breaks in, nudging him, “Are you gonna pick or what?”"Yeah, totally." Our eyes break away. "You," pointing to someone else. I let out a little sigh, happy that he didn’t pick me. The show went by fine. But Cole looked a little distracted. Did he recognize me?The show ended. “Wasn’t that amazing?” Liz jumps."Yeah, I guess."”Yeah, I guess.” Mae mocks. We head out to Liz’s car."WAIT! WAIT!" A boys voice yells. "JEN!"I turn around. It’s Cole. As he got closer, I can see the light brown eyes I remember seeing from when we were little. “Hi,” he greets, panting. Mae and Liz looked confused and gave me the ‘you know him?’ look."Hey." I say in a monotone voice."Do you um.. remember me? Cole Pendery? House number 586? Texas boy?" I couldn’t speak. I still couldn’t believe it was Cole."Uhm. I gave you back your doll. Oh yeah, I even cleaned it for you.""I remember." I finally speak up."Cole hurry! We have a plane to catch." A women yells from behind."Give me a second Jill!" He turns back to me, "We need to catch up. Here’s my number. Please call?""I will." The two of us hug and say good-bye. He runs back to a van and waves to all three of us."O.M.G! THATS WHY YOU WERE ACTING WEIRD!" Mae yells."BECAUSE SHE KNOWS COLE PENDERY!" Liz finishes. I shake my head and hop into the car.When I got home, I jumped on my bed. Having mixed emotions. I grab my phone and dial the number Cole gave me. I practice saying my ‘Hi’s’ and ‘Hello’s.’ Then finally, he picks up."Jen?""Hey Cole.""Howdy." He says, hearing him smile through the phone.
