Journey Through Mysterious Eyes

4 Years Later

    "Dallas.....Eric.......time to get ready for school." Sabrina says cheerfully from the other side of the door. I groan and decide to roll over when I hear a ploomf. Immediately I jolt out of bed, with only my boxers on, and let out a big chuckle. "Dally, are you okay?" I ask, obviously not concerned. "What do you think?" He replies, moaning. As I continued to chuckle, I put on a baggy My Chemical Romance T-shirt and black skinny jeans before I decide to head down for breakfast.

    "Where's Dallas?" Sabrina asks, concerned. "He better not be sleeping." "He's not he just had a rough morning." I giggle. "He fell out of bed, again." Emily looks at me with sympathety and then busts out with her little laugh. "Morning, Emily." I grin pinching her chin. "And good morning to you, Violet." I turn to Sabrina's little baby girl, Violet and coo like an infant. Making baby noises, she keeps her eyes on me.

   "Hey, Dallas." Isabella, Dally's flirtatious friend, greets him with a warm tone as she walks by us. "Dude, you should ask her out." I tell Dally, bumping my shoulders into his. "Yeah, I don't know. I mean, I want to, but then again, I don't know her that well." He confronts me. "That has never stopped anyone before. You know she'll say yes. What's so wrong with that?" I question as we continue walking down the hall.

    Out of nowhere, Dally blurts "I know she'll say yes, but I've never had a girlfriend. I won't know what to do, and may make things worse." I am shocked. I've known him ever since elementary school. I cannot recall him not ever having a girlfriend. I have never had one, but he's way more attractive, I just thought girls would be all over him. We continue walking but him stating that really bothers me for some reason. "How have you not had a girlfriend? You're an amazing guy and any girl would be lucky with you." He grins and stays like that up until we part for our homerooms. "Thanks, I really needed that." He says in a sarcastic tone. "I was just stating the truth. Geez, anyway, see you at lunch." I say walking away. "See you." he says laughing.

    The beginning of the school day is pretty exhausting, and I am surely counting down the time until lunch. Finally, at 1:30, the third lunch bell rings and I jet off towards the cafeteria. As soon as I head inside and sprint towards the line I was disappointed. There were already at least 20 kids ahead of me and having third lunch, well, that's not sweet. After standing for at least 10 minutes I can finally see the food. I grabb a tray and start making my way through the actual line and the person in front of me grabs the last of everything. I let out a loud sigh and start giving him dirty looks behind his back. Little did I know he would actually turn around. "Sorry man, but don't take it out on me. I'm just like you, except I have food." he turns forward and types in his lunch number. After he exits the line I hand the lady my tray since there was nothing on it, and decide to find Dally. Maybe I can score food off of him.
    When I arrive to the lunch table Dally was at, I become disappointed. He didn't have any food. "Where's your food?." Dally says curiously. "I was about to ask you the exact same thing." I say grabbing a chair next to him. "You know I don't eat." Dally whispers to me. "I know, I just thought maybe today you'd have food." I whisper back as my stomach growls. We sit there alone, until Isabella spots us. "Hey, Eric." she says energetically then pauses. "Hey, Dallas." she says in a calm, flirty tone. Dally and I wave and then Dally stood up. "Can we talk?" he asks Isabella, making it my cue to leave. "I'm gonna go score food off of someone." I state and walk off.
