The Circle

Chapter 8

It was Monday and I was probably in the best mood I've ever been in. After what happened at the football game how could I not? I basically spent the whole weekend dreaming about Warren and replaying the whole scene in my head over and over again. For once I was exited to go to school but I didn't know what to expect. Instead of just walking past me in the hall would he come up and say hi or hug me or what?!?? I quickly put on my favorite outfit and left.I got to school later than usual because Lynn Lynn had another huge temper tantrum. So when I started walking up the stairs it was way more crowed. The whole time I kept my eyes out for Warren. When I reached the top I saw him standing by the rail, handsome as ever. When he saw me he waved and smiled widely. Then he pulled me closer to his side and reached his right arm over my head to rest on my shoulders. I have to admit I was flattered. What would people think when they saw us together like this! With his right arm resting on me and his left hand holding his book we walked through the doors into the hall. It was so crowed! Immediately everyone's eyes came to us. We walked slowly through the crowd trying to get through. I could tell everyone's glare was focused on Warrens arm on me. I felt my face turn red but I didn't care. I had what I wanted. And if people think it's weird they have to deal with my poobear!When the bell rang after 4th period I walked as fast as I could to lunch. Today I was sitting with Warren! When I turned the corner I saw him sitting at a empty round table waiting for me. I just couldn't believe it! How many people actually get this lucky! I sat next to him and put my foot up on the table. When he saw he chuckled and did the same with his foot. I couldn't help but laugh. His feet were huge!! "Hey I wanted to talk to you about something," he said a little more serious than his current mood. "Ok..." "My cousin is having this party Wednesday night and I was wondering if you could be my date". When he said the word date I smiled and answered back. "Of course! Who will be there?" "A bunch of people from school probably he's in 9th grade, and also a few other of my cousins. Is that okay with you?" It was more than ok with me! People would see us there and have to accept we were together together."Yep! Sounds like plan!" He smiled and leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. I blushed and continued eating.Later that night the only thing I could think about was what I would wear to the party! I looked through my closet about a hundred time but never had any luck! I know what this means, I thought to myself: shopping!
