His Ocean Eyes

A Fated Encounter

Tandace was a regular high school girl. She hated her little brothers, she used her phone a little too much, and she had a crush on the cutest boy in school Jeremiah. He was tall and had luscious blonde locks, and captivating blue eyes that could see right through to your soul. Tandace, despite her huge crush on Jeremiah, couldn't find it in herself to do anything about it. She thought that her oddly long neck, ginger hair, and explosive personality would not be good enough for Jeremiah. So, she went about her days attempting to bust her brother's schemes, hanging out with her best friend Stacy, and thinking about Jeremiah. This was enough for Tandace until one day when she was walking around the halls of her high school with Stacy she fell face first into the cement due to some unexplained force. Angry and embarrassed, she immediately started yelling,

"Who in their right mind-"

"Oh, hi Tandace. Sorry about that"

"J-J-Jeremiah? No that's okay don't worry about it, haha"

They quickly brushed off and began to pick up each others books that had fallen on the hallway floors. They locked eyes, Tandace's black eyes, on Jeremiah's blue orbs. They chuckled lightly, blushed, and then looked away awkwardly. As Jeremiah handed Tandace the last of her supplies he said,

"Sorry about that again, I'm a bit of a klutz"

He scratches his head and looks a little nervous before adding,

"Umm, would you let me take you to dinner to make up for it?" he blushed, looking at Tandace hopefully.

"Oh um yea, ha ha, I would love to."

Tandace contains her screams, she cannot believe her luck.

"Okay cool, yea...um, meet me after school?"

"Sure thing, yup," Tandace says nervously, as she begins to play with her hair.

Jeremiah nods his head smiling and saunters away. Tandace's eyes immediately catch Stacy's who Tandace has completely forgotten about. Stacy looks astounded. We both turn to make sure Jeremiah has turned the corner before grabbing each other and screaming, doing a happy dance.

"I can't believe it, did Jeremiah just ask you out?!"

"I think so! Stacy, pinch me!" Tandace says, putting out her arm. Stacy ignores the pinching request and instead starts her high pitched screeching again,

"AAAAAA, You are going to be the coolest girl in school Tandace!"

They both laugh a little hysterically, and keep on walking down the hallway, arms linked, a little bit more excited for the day ahead of them.
