"Oh, crap." I was standing on a toilet seat, losing my balance frequently, leaning over the cubicle door to try and pry the window open. I'm sure I'm suffocating myself here. Oh well, if I die, they can scrape my dead body in the trash. Aha!

The window opened like a hungry alligator opening its mouth for the meal of the day. (Mmm.)

Carefully, I sort of climbed up the cubicle door until I was kneeling on the very top of the door. If I fell, I could break my neck and die. No biggie.

"AHHHHHHH!" I let out an ear piercing scream before throwing myself, and subsequently tumbling through, at the window. I could feel my heart racing and my legs gaining lactic acid. My body was numb and I hurt all over. Running away was work.

"Hey there, stranger." I looked up into the sun, big mistake, to see him standing above me. With no further thinking, I questioningly raised an eyebrow. He raised his hands as if to say he wasn't guilty. Like he was being taken into prison on a false charge or something. "What? Just saying hi!" His feeble smile weakened me. Not just my bones, but my mind and my heart along with them. God, STOP OVERTHINKING! (I want him to take me into his arms. Now.)

"Heh, hi, then.." I lazily, half in a  daze, smiled. He took his hand in mine. Shivers and a sudden feeling of joy erupted within me.

"What do you say we leave together?" Together. I love how that word sounds. To-geth - er. Forever... Foreverr...

"I say that I'd love that." I bashfully smiled, again, as we half walked half ran across the grass hand in hand.
