The Party

BBBRRRRIIINNNGGG!
That's the bell.
School's out.
Summer's here.

Oh, no!
He's coming over here.
What's that in his hand?
An invitation?

"Come with me"
He says,
"To the summer bash"
How can I say no?

We get there,
It's almost two.
People are arriving,
In twos and threes.

There are many couples,
And we're all here.
The guys play in the band.
The girls mingle and laugh.

But wait!
Who's that?
It's him!
My love.

He's coming over.
With that look in his eyes.
Telling me his feelings.
He loves me!

"I love you"
He says,
"And I always have".
"Will you dance with me?"

As we sway to the beat,
I notice her.
Standing there.
Alone.

She's a loner,
But good looking.
I point her out.
And ask why she's here.

"She's my sister"
He tells me.
"And she wanted to come",
"So I told her to get her swim suit."

Oh my gosh!
I think to myself.
She looks so alone,
Standing there by herself.

And then, out of nowhere,
HE shows up.
She spots him, and he her,
And they walk towards each other.

"But who is he?"
I ask impatiently.
"I don't know"
He tells me quietly.

But I know who it is.
I know what he's done.
And I instantly go over.
And glare at him.

"Why are you here?"
I ask him,
In the coldest voice I could muster.
But he just ignores me.

I watch, helplessly,
As he leads her away.
They go in the house,
And I know what he's gonna do.

Nine months later,
A baby is born.
I'm invited to the celebration,
Of a seventeen year old's baby.
