A Long Distance Relationship

Chapter 08: School Day Part ||

~Bryan~
Starting my day in a good mood, got up from my bed and started tidying it up. When that was finished, went to the bathroom and freshen up, prepared my books and my outfit, and was settled. I took my bag and ran downstairs, greeting my parents, mom and daddy Henderson; hugging and giving me kisses, once they saw me. My mother asked me, "How did you sleep, my dear? I slept good thanks. Just a bit excited to start today." "Are you going to pick up someone today, while going to school?" Being surprised by the question, knowing it caused me to smile, so I said, "Yes, I am going to pick a dear friend, not so far from us, just a street in front of us, so yeah." "You just smiled, you good, son?" "Yes dad, I am good. Just have a great feeling for today. "Okay, well, we wish to meet her one day, just on your time, alright Bryan. Because I know it is not about the day, it definitely about a girl." "Alright, Richard, leave the young boy. Alright, when you are done, you may start heading out, okay." "Thanks, mother, I shall do that. And dad, maybe you are right about what you said. Anyways, I got to go. Love you all. Bye-bye!" Going to the car, I buckled up and set it on. Playing a song from my hard-drive on my radio, I was heading to Melanie's house. When I arrived, I set off my car off and hooted, then I turned off, and went to their doorbell and pressed it. I waited a bit, then Mel opened the door, in her simple outfit with her beautiful smile, and she said, "Hi Bryan. Good morning." I gave her my sweet smile and answered saying hello and greeting them back. Then she invited me inside, greeting her parents and her siblings. I answered the questions that her parents were asking, and then told Melanie that I came here to pick her up. She gathered her bag and said goodbye to everyone. We walked and headed to my car, I firstly opened the door for her first, then quickly to my side, and started the car.

We were on our way, and I was just admiring her outfit, she might be dressed simply but she is very pretty and cute. Looking ahead, I bit my bottom lip, so Melanie started the conversation by asking how my night was and then, I asked her the same. Then she started to talk about how this day of school reminds her of those days at primary school and how she doesn't feel nervous, instead, she felt happy and excited. However, the advice though, she said, "We need to be ourselves and just give everything to our best ability. And then I told her, about me signing up for basketball here in college, she gasped and with full excitement, I felt encouraged when she said and that she truly believe that I would be accepted and that I had the style and techniques. I could see that she was checking me, like staring me up and down, and then she looked away. I could not help but laugh because not only on what she said, but her expressions were just adorable. In addition, I joked saying, "Hum, I never knew that you know me like that. Someone has been watching. Then she laughed, by pushing me by the shoulder, and said that she was serious. Arriving by the school gates and searched for a parking spot, where she asked me about my friends, and then I said to her that I speak to them every day and told her that they attend the same college as us. We spotted her friend, Britney, and a new boy next to her.

Seeing Britney, she hugged Mel and me, then she introduced the guy, saying that she had just recently met him, as her friend. He took his hand and reached for me and said, "Hi there, I am David. I am new around here. What are your names?" "I am Bryan Henderson and the lady here, is Melanie Peterson. Oh, you just called her "lady", are you two dating?" Looking at Mel, I said, "No, we are just getting to know each other, we are just friends." In my mind, I wanted to say she was more, but I just recently meet her. My feelings are too soon to tell. Therefore, not to make it awkward, I scratched the back of my hair and giggled. I could see that Mel was smiling and  blushed, I just put my hands in my pockets. To break the silence, Britney told us that we should be heading for the hall for assembly. So we started to head on our way. When we arrived, I spotted my friends, Dominic, James, and Patrick, across the room and I told them that I should be seating with them during the assembly. In addition, I headed to my friends and sat beside them in a row. Since the assembly wasn't long, the principal just spoke some words of encouragement and wished us well in our first week.

During the assembly, I turned around and spotted Melanie with her beautiful face, and I smiled at her with a wink, causing her to blush and give me a shy smile. Man does she looks so adorable when she does that? Smiling and nervously looking away when I stare at her? So we parted ways when the assembly ended. I was talking with the boys and Patrick asked me, "Hey, lover boy, what has got you smiling so much? I am guessing it is your so call "friend" Melanie, is it not? I mean, your face always changes when she is around and then when she is gone, your mind starts smiling like a little girl. What's up?" Looking at him and laughing, I said, "You right, man. I do not even know why I am smiling. It's just something about her, Patrick, she is different." "Here comes a loving poem, boys!" said James. Ha-ha, very funny. The feelings are there but I also do not want to express them too soon, as if I do that, it can change the status. I want her first to trust me as she can count on me with anything and everything. You know what I mean? I can admit, her personality is epic, starting with her amazing skills by the court, her smile, her brown eyes, and her nervous smirk. She is lovely. Nevertheless, I will tell her soon when I am ready to tell her.

And just to add, her first outfit, was pretty hot. I loved it.
