Monday.
I slowly sat up on my bed and stared at the window. Another day of liking him and watching him with his girlfriend. I decided to stand up and just go with the flow of the day. I took a bath, put on my clothes fixed my things and immediately went downstairs. And I now realized that I'm running late cause I sat on my bed for nearly half an hour, thinking about him.
I immediately ran outside and to school. To be honest I'm rarely late in any of my classes and I'm not gonna let that happen today. I finally arrived at school I wasn't late so I started to walk to our room and saw that there's just one person. And that person is called Jeremiah, well, I was wrong when I said alone, he was with his girlfriend Valerie. And she's sitting on my chair. Why isn't everybody here ?
"Hey Frances, if you're confused why I'm the only one here, they're all at the grounds watching the parade, actually we're excused all day" Jeremiah said
"Oh, thanks, but why're we excused ?" I asked
"To be honest I don't know" he said as he chuckled. He's so adorable. Maybe I should just stay here for a while cause I don't know maybe I want to be alone with him. I turned around and saw Jeremiah with his girlfriend, they were talking and cuddling. Well, there goes my heart. I took my bag and decided to just go to the grounds, I was about to leave when I heard Jeremiah say "Where you going ?"
"To the grounds for the program" I said
"Wait for me please" He said
"Yeah sure" I said as I listened, "unintentionally" , to their conversation
"Don't leave me" Valerie said
"I need to, Val" he said
"But why ?"
"Cause of our teacher, she's going to get our attendance"
"Okay fine, but give me a kiss" When I heard what she said I immediately turned around.
"Hey, let's go" Jeremiah said as he strummed my shoulder. I smiled at him as we walked down the hallway. The two of us walking in a hallway. We arrived at the grounds and found our classmates and also my friends, I smiled as I approach them.
"Ayyyiiieee, what did you and Red do ?" Cammile asked while wiggling her eyebrows. Red is our code name when we're talking about Jeremiah cause of his surname which is Alder and we reversed the last 3 letter, which were der and made to red.
"Nothing" I said
"Really ?" Angel asked. I sighed as I told them the whole story as to why we were walking together.
"Oh, you had to hear and see that ?"March asked
"Yeah, but it's okay" I said

After the program, we went upstairs and to our room. Our coach Mr. Maynard was there.
"Good afternoon class, I have a very important message to all of you" he said
"As you all know the intramurals is gonna be held on Friday this week and our department head said that we should dance and they picked different teachers to teach different dances and I already choreographed the dance and it's easy to learn" Mr. Maynard said And now I need you all to form line by height"
I groaned once I heard what Mr. Maynard said cause I know that I'll be the last girl on the line. We all stood up, went outside and formed a line. Coach went outside and paired us. I got paired with Jeremiah, AWKWARD, well, for me.
~~~~~~~
These past few days were filled with practices. And today is Thursday which means tomorrow is the dance and today is our last practice.
We were practicing and Jeremiah and I aren't talking to each other, hell, we don't even look at each other, I don't even know why. I already memorized it but I'm still confused. We decided to practice and we did. There was this one step that I really am confused at.
I was going tot the right and then I realized that we were supposed to be gong to the left, so Jeremiah was going to the left and I'm going to the right and then we bumped into each other. I looked up and I met his eyes and I immediately looked down and mumbled a sorry. Well, that was one of the most awkward moments that we've had.
After our classes I went home, to my room and rest cause I'm really exhausted. But I can't seem to sleep because what happened earlier kept on replaying in mind. To be honest, I feel butterflies in my tummy. I can't help it !! I took a pillow and put it on my face and shouted. I need to release these buttrflies damn.
