Jo sat back silently watching her friend Destiny. They had decided to go out for the night. It was a miracle they had managed to gather their schedules together long enough to meet for the evening. Jo had an assignment she had to complete and Destiny, being the friend that she was, offered to tag along. As they walked through the cold to the concert Destiny couldn't remember why she had agreed to go. Then he popped into her thoughts. Not that that was unusual, Luke was always on her mind. He was a big part of her life this year. A new friend and the perfect one since things had just ended with Brad. "What are you thinking about?" Jo interrupted her thoughts. " Nothing" Destiny sighed. Jo knew there was someone she was thinking of, there always was. "Do you know anyone playing tonight?" Jo asked. " A few people, Ben, James, Luke." her voice trailed off. Right then and there Jo figured it out. "So that's who's nothing...." Jo commented. "What, who, nothing?" Destiny replied shocked.
" You can't hide things you know..... You like him don't you?"
Before Destiny could reply they had already entered the auditorium. They sat silently watching the concert. Jo couldn't help but noticing her friend's growing smile as Luke stepped up to play. Destiny watched his every movement, only glancing away for a second here and there. Each girl made small talk about the pieces, but Jo paid close attention to her friend. Afterwards they decided to run and talk to a few of the people Destiny knew. As they turned the corner they bumped into Luke, causing him to drop some of his things. "Oh sorry" muttered Jo. " Jo, this is Luke..."Destiny introduced the two. After a normal first meeting, Jo stepped back to let the two friends talk. While watching she noticed a certain glow in both their eyes. A glow that surely insinuated more than friends. "He's a great guy, really good at what he does."Destiny mentioned on their walk back to the car.
"Luke? He's cute, nice it seems. "Jo replied.
"Yea he is, sorry he's taken." Destiny continued to talk, not even realizing that she had never mentioned his name, to everyone else Luke was simply him.
"I bet, I'm glad you have a good friend though."
"Yea, a good friend...." Her voice seemed sadder this time
"Something wrong?"
"Nah, just waiting for him to realize he's with the wrong girl."
"Ah, he will." They hopped into the car and heading back to the dorm.
" Not soon enough I fear."
"Listen, Destiny ... He will, I just know it..."
" I hope so. I just don't know what to do in the mean time."
"Tell him.... You have to tell him how you feel. That's how all beginning's start."
"Beginning's?"
"Yea, beginning's" Jo repeated.
"Maybe that's just what we need, a beginning"
Jo knew that she was right. She had never seen Destiny look so emerged, so cheerful. Every time she mentioned Luke, which was more than she realized, she had a glow to her. They reached the dorm and dropped Destiny off. They said their goodbyes and Jo drove off. As she was driving Jo looked up and saw the first star of the night and quietly whispered a wish.
Star light,
star bright,
first star I see tonight,
I wish I may,
I wish I might,
Have the wish I wish tonight.
I wish for a beginning, cause no one deserves it more.
