Super Emotions

The Gift

I woke up with a start. The same darn dream again. I got ready quickly not knowing when Andy was going to pick me up. I decided on a Jean skirt with white trim, a navy polo, black tights, and some bedazzled wedges. I straightened my hair and added my usual makeup. Just in time the door bell rang. I grabbed my bag and opened the door to see Andy standing there. He was wearing jeans and a brown polo. His sparkling white teeth smiled at me, offering a hand. I gladly took it as we leaped onto his motorcycle.

Jake's POV

I stood next to the entrance wanting to see who Emma's ride was. Was it a guy? Was he better than me? Of coarse not. I'm popular, handsome, and smart. I'm basically the total package. I scanned the parking lot. I saw a black motorcycle with flames pull up and some guy help a girl off. They held hand in hand up towards the entrance. I soon came to the realization that was Emma! Holding hands with him. They slowly approached the doors. I waved at Emma and she did a slight wave, as the guy held open the door for her. He smiled at me before walking next to her. Hmmm. Playing hard to get Emma? Well, two can play at that game.

Emma's POV

Andy was really sweet. We had a lot of classes together, but when we didn't he would hold my books and walk me to class. We were walking to lunch and I was hoping my friends liked him. Walking up to them I braced for their opinions. "Hey guys! His is Andy! He's new." I said smiling at him. "Hello everyone! Glad to meet you!" he said.

"Hey!"

"Hi!"

"Nice to meet you too!"

"Welcome!"

We got all good replies as we both sat down. He pulled out my chair, and then took the seat next to mine. He gave me all his chocolate and I gave him all my jolly ranchers whilst we shared to different sodas. After we finished we decided to go outside, so I could show him the playground.

"Well, this is it! Pretty normal. We got swings, slides, soccer fields, etc." he nodded looking around. We both sat down on a bench. "Hey Emma?" he asked.

"Yeah?" I said.

"Well, the football match is this weekend, and I was wondering..."

"Yeah?"

"Will you wear my jersey?" he said eagerly.

"What?" I asked confused.

"All the guys ask girls they are into to where their jerseys. I was wondering if you might wear mine?" he asked.

"Sure!! That sounds great!" I said. I see all the other girls wearing their boyfriend's jersey, but now I get to!

"Great! Well, we better get to class!" he then swooped me up bridal style, rubbing his nose to my neck as he dropped me down taking my hand. I can't believe I of all people ran across the sweetest and most gorgeous guy, right when they like someone else. Crap.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I had gotten home, and was currently playing and singing random songs. I grabbed my ukelele and began playing a song that described my situation:

"So he said what's the problem baby

What's the problem I don't know well maybe I'm in love

Think about it every time I think about can't stop thinking 'bout it"

Then, I heard movement from behind my curtains. I moved towards my balcony, seeing a small package. I opened, to see a small note: 'Emma, this is the jersey you need to wear Saturday. And, a little something special. -Andy'

Taking out the jersey and placing it on my bed, I saw a small blue box. Opening the lid, I saw a small butterfly pendant with pink, purple, and silver jewels hanging on a thin gold chain. I admired it. I wonder how much it cost. Searching for the price tag, I saw it had been covered with a small note that read 'you don't need to know the price'. I fumbled with the necklace around my neck when I suddenly felt strong hands helping me with the clasp. Turning around, I saw Andy himself smiling down at me. He had my hands in his. "Thank you so much! It's beautiful!" I exclaimed. "Not nearly as beautiful as you." he said smiling. I placed a small peck on his cheek. "I better go, but I will see you Saturday." he said walking backwards towards thee balcony, my hands still in his. "Of coarse! I'll see you there." He placed a quick peck on my cheek before leaping off my balcony, onto the big oak tree outside. I watched him climb down. Waving, he walked to his motorcycle. I gazed at him ride away, and I felt like the luckiest girl in the world. Twirling the necklace on my finger, I sat on my bed, thinking about Andy. Man, I wish I were his. And he were mine.
