*********************************
As Kay and Miguel walked around town, Kay couldn’t help but to ask what the real reason he wanting to spend the day with her.
“So Miguel, what made you want to spend the day with me when you could be spending your time with Charity?”
“Kay we use to spend time together all the time.”
“It seems a life time ago now. We’ve both grown up and our lives has seem to go in different directions.”
“You really think so?” Miguel asking bright eyed.
“I don’t know Miguel. It just seems like we don’t have anything in common anymore.”
Right at that point they passed by an old Harmony candy store and soda shop. Miguel and Kay looked at each other and started to laugh.
“Remember this place?” Miguel said smiling.
“How could I forget.” Kay said looking in the window as she pictured a 10 year old Miguel sitting at a booth with his sister Theresa and his brother Luis.
*******************************
Six Years Ago
“Mom, while you’re next door, can I go inside and get some candy with the money daddy gave me?” A 10-year-old Kay asked.
“Sure, but don’t be long. We still have your school shoes to get.”
“Thanks mom. I won’t.”
Kay went inside noticing Miguel sitting at a booth with his siblings. “Hey Miguel.” Kay said waving at her best friend.
“Hi Kay.” Miguel said smiling as if his cheeks would burst.
“Miguel’s got a girl friend, Miguel’s got a girl friend.” Theresa chanted, teasing her little brother.
“Shut up Theresa, she’s not my girl friend.” Miguel snapped cheeks red with embarrassment.
Kay overheard the two, trying to ignore them, for her cheeks were red as well. Kay told the guy behind the counter what she wanted. He put several pieces of candy and bubble gum on the counter and walked away to get something else Kay asked for. Right at that moment, a friend of Kay’s got her attention. She turned to see the girl sitting in another booth and spoke. When Kay turned back around, the counter was minus the three pieces of bubble gum.
“What happened to the bubble gum little girl?” The guy roared at Kay.
“I don’t know. It was right here a moment ago.”
“You took it and put it in your pocket didn’t you?”
“No mister, I didn’t.”
“Don’t tell fibs little girl. Pay me for the gum, or I’m going to call the police.”
Kay’s eyes started filling up with tears.
“I promise I didn’t take the gum, please don’t call the police.”
“You’re Officer Bennett’s daughter aren’t you?”
“Y-e-s.” Kay said sobbing now.
“Don’t cry, just pay me for the gum.”
Right at that moment, Miguel got up and ran out the door. Luis got up from his seat and went to the counter.
“What’s the problem?” The rookie officer asked.
“This little girl took bubble gum from the counter and don’t want to pay for it.”
“Did you check her pockets?” Luis asked putting an arm around a hysterical Kay.
“No! I just know she did it!”
“How could you be so sure. I know Kay, and I know she wouldn’t take anything that didn’t belong to her.”
“Well maybe I should check her pockets.”
Just as soon as the man stepped behind the counter, advancing toward Kay, Miguel burst through the door with two other boys twice his size.
“Tell him!” He shouted at the boys. “Tell him what you did, or else.”
One of the boys emptied out his pockets to reveal three pieces of bubble gum.
The man grabbed the two boys, apologized to Kay, and went to discipline the two boys in the back of the store. Walking away, they turned to Kay and apologized, looking frightenly at Miguel.
“Well, well, well little brother. Those boys were twice your size. How did you get them to come back?”
“I don’t know. I just knew Kay was in trouble and she needed my help.”
“Thank you Miguel.” Kay said now calming down a bit, as she kissed him on the cheek and ran out the door.
“Miguel's got a girl friend, Miguel's got a girl friend.” Theresa cheered as Miguel put his hand to his face, and blushing as if he’ll never stop smiling.
**********************************
Kay turned around to find Miguel smiling at her.
“I guess you remember Huh?”
“Yes, just like if it were yesterday. But you know what I never knew? What made those guys come back? They were twice your size.”
Miguel laughed. “I told them that my brother saw them take the gum and that he knew where they lived and that he was on his way to get them. Boy was my heart beating fast. I would have never thought they would fall for something so lame. But they did.”
“Miguel they could’ve hurt you. What were you thinking.”
“I was thinking of you. Standing there crying for something you didn’t do. I saw the two boys take the gum and run. And I knew I had to do something.”
“Thank you Miguel.” Kay said smiling sweetly.
“You thanked me already. Six years ago.”
Kay and Miguel turned and kept walking around town until they came to the park.
“This is a good spot Miguel. Spread the blanket right here.”
Miguel spread the huge comforter in a shady area surrounded by a river of flowers, and a very large duck pond.
“It sure is a nice day today. Not too cool, with a touch of warmth in the air. Next month the ground should be covered with snow.”
“Yeah I can’t wait for ice skating season.” Kay said looking at the duck pond in front of them.
“Remember the ice skating contest?” Kay asked.
“How could I forget. You literally twisted my arm to be in it with you.”
“I did not twist your arm. I just punched you several times until you gave in.”
"That's not how I remembered it." Miguel laughed.
*******************************
Miguel and Kay at the age of eleven
“Miguel please! Please join the contest with me. I think we could win.”
“No Kay! I’m not going to do it! Ice-skating is for sissies! You can’t make me.”
Kay started to cry.
“Stop it Kay. You’re not going to trick me with those fake tears.”
Kay cried even louder than before. Tears were drenching her little cheeks as if she were swimming in a pool.
“O.K.! I’ll do it! Just stop crying, please!”
The tears stopped almost automatic as Kay put her arms around a defeated Miguel.
“Great! We have three weeks to work out a routine. We’ll have to come here everyday and practice, because I want to win.”
Miguel dropped his head knowing that this was something he knew he’d never get out of.
For three weeks they practice their routine, and the contest was already a day away.
“How’s our little ice skater.” Luis teased.
“Leave me alone.” Miguel snapped. “I’m not doing this. Kay is just going to have to be mad.”
“Ay Mi hijo!” Pilar said to her son. “You and Kay have worked hard for weeks. Do you think it would be fair to not show when you know Kay is counting on you?”
“I don’t care! I’m tired of people teasing me! She’ll have to do the routine by herself!”
“Miguel, Kay’s mom worked real hard on you outfits. She’ll be disappointed as well.”
“That’s another thing. Tights are for little girls. I’m not wearing them.”
“Miguel, I’m sorry for teasing you. I think you and Kay have a good chance at winning. You two have worked real hard. Don’t give up now.” Luis said.
When Miguel woke up the next morning, he had butterflies in his stomach.
“This would be better if it were baseball. I know baseball, but ice-skating is not. I’m not going.” Miguel said to himself.
Pilar knocked on her son’s door.
“Go away, I’m not going!” Miguel yelled.
Pilar opened the door and thought how adorable her son looked in his outfit. “Miguel, I know you will decide to do the right thing. Kay is your best friend. She is counting on you to be there. But I’m not going to make you do anything you’re not ready for. We’ll be down stairs waiting if you change your mind.”
Kay walked back and forth wondering where Miguel was. They were to go on in five minutes.
“He’s not going to show is he?” Kay asked her mom.
“He’ll be here darling. Just have faith.”
“Where’s your little sissy partner Kay?” The class bully asked as he walked up.
“Shut up Chucky before I introduce you to my fist.”
“I guess you have to fight Miguel’s battles now that he’s turned into a little sissy ice skating boy.”
“Shut up Chucky,” a voice said standing behind him.
“Oh sorry Miguel, we didn’t see you.”
“Get out of here and leave Kay alone.”
Chucky and his friends ran without looking back.
“Miguel you made it, I so glad.” Kay said hugging his neck.
“Yeah, yeah, yeah, Let’s get this over with.”
Miguel and Kay skated perfectly for the contest. They didn’t miss a beat, and everyone in Harmony cheered them on. It was no surprise when they went home with first place trophies.
***********************************
Miguel and Kay sat there all afternoon reminiscing about the past while they ate the delicious lunch Kay prepared for them. At that point they forgot all about Charity and Nicholas as they thought of times past. They really were the best of friends and no one really could ever change that. They had history. A history that was perfect just for the two of them.
