A Dream Is A Wish

It was a long day, after one of the best M.U.N. General Assemblies ever. Taryn was so tired, but also happy and excited at the same time because her resolution had passed. She sat on her chair, stared at her badass resolution, and felt proud of herself.

"Finally. I am so awesome." She mumbled to herself.

“Yay! Congrats Taz! I knew you could make it! But hey, I’m sorry I voted against your resolution,” Gisella said, while stuffing all her things to her bag.

“Thanks Giz. And I will get my revenge on you for not voting for my resolution,” Taryn said, laughing.

Taryn and Gisella talked and laughed for a while, until Gisella’s boyfriend came to her, and hugged her. “Hey Chester.” She said without taking her eyes off his. “Hey babe. Let’s go.” He said to her.

“Bye Taz see you tomorrow!” Gisella said to Taryn, as walking away with Chester. Taryn was left alone in that room.

Taryn felt so lonely. Seeing Gisella with her boyfriend makes her want a boyfriend even more. She had always had a crush on a senior, but to this day he still has no idea. She had always thought he was smexy [combination of smart and sexy]. She loved talking to him, even when it’s about something boring. Now, she can’t stop thinking about him and how badly she wants him to ask her out, but she knows that it’s not going to happen. She was just about to cry, when suddenly…

She felt a hand on her shoulder. The hand felt really mesmerizing though, so she knew directly that it was His hand. The one and only,

Chase Reed.

He was one of the most important people in Taryn’s life. But, he had no clue about her feelings for him.

Or did he?

Anyways, back to the scene.

Sure enough, she was right. It was Chase. Of course, Taryn was very shocked. She was freaking out in the inside, and her face turned tomato red. She didn’t know what to do, so she just stared into his sexy eyes, smiling. She was never a professional eye reader. But, she could see from his eyes that he wanted to tell her something so badly. But, what was it?

"Hey.” He smiled.

"Eh... Hi. Um, I thought you went home." She said.

"Well, you thought wrong," he said, as he took a seat next to her and winked ever so slightly. She was extremely nervous but happy at the same time. She felt really safe with him, especially in an empty room like that. And, she was speechless too. She couldn’t stop staring at his eyes. They were so damn sexy.

"By the way, congrats on your resolution. Its really great," He said.

"Wow. Thanks. I think this resolution passed because you co-submitted. And you helped, a lot. You made tons of speeches to support this resolution and I can't thank you enough." She said. He smiled at her, and she was grinning like crazy.

"Well, it’s the least I can do. I would do anything to make such a wonderful resolution pass, especially when it’s made by such a beautiful girl like you." He said, while pushing some hair out of her face gently.

"Gee… Thanks. A lot." Taryn was blushing so hard, and Chase could see that.

A few minutes past, and Chase finally said,

"I think you're really good at making resolutions, and I think you're also a really good debater and essay writer. I think you're really smart, funny, and very beautiful. I really like you, a lot.” After a few moments, he said, “I want us to be more than just friends. I like you too much. Do you want to be my girlfriend?”

Taryn was speechless. She had a lot of emotions going through her head right then. 'He’s asking me out? Is this for real? Is he just messing with me? He likes me too?! What is going on?' Those thoughts went through her head, and it felt like there were Mexican dancers in her stomach. But besides that, everything felt beautiful.

She still did not know how to respond to him. So, she decided to do this instead;

"AHAHAHAHAHAHA. Nice one Chase you got me! Very funny joke you got there! LOOOL!" Taryn said, while trying to fake a laugh. She expected Chase to laugh with her and tell her that it was a joke, but he didn’t. His face stayed serious, without moving a muscle, as if he was desperate for an answer.

 "No, Taryn. I'm serious. I loved you, I love you, and I will love you until the end. When you're mine, I promise you that I will never leave you. I will protect you whenever I can, and I will be the best boyfriend you will ever have. I promise." He said, holding her hand.

"You.. You lo.. Love me?" Taryn was really shocked, and still speechless.

Chase responded with a nod. Chase could see that she was happy, confused, excited, and nervous. He knew that she would say yes, but she was still speechless.

"Chase. To be honest, I love you too. I loved you from the start, and I've been waiting for ages for you to ask me out. So, the answer is yes. I would LOVE to be your girlfriend."

The biggest smile ever appeared on his face. And she couldn't help but to hug him and transferred her seating from the chair and onto his lap. He hugged her back tightly. She couldn't believe that all her dreams came true just like that. She loved him and he loved her. It was perfect.

"I love you Taz." Chase whispered into her ear.

"I love you too Chase." She whispered back. She began to stare at his lips, which made Chase realize that she wanted to kiss him so bad. Well, the best part is that he wanted to kiss her too. After a few moments, their faces got closer and closer. As their lips were about to touch...

*KNOCK* *KNOCK* *KNOCK*

"WAKE UP! You have an M.U.N. thing, remember? C'mon you don't want to be late for this!"

It was Taryn’s mom shouting outside of her bedroom door. Taryn found herself on her bed, in her usual PJs and messy hair.

'Wait, what? That was all just a dream?' Taryn thought to herself as she prepared for the big day. Taryn was very disappointed because the Chase thing didn’t happen at all. She's back to being Forever-Alone-Taryn.

*8 hours later*

"Finally. I am so awesome."

Taryn mumbled to herself as she stared at her badass resolution which, obviously, past. She completely forgot about her dream, as she was too excited about her resolution. Gisella had just left, and she was in the room alone. Suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Hey." Chase smiled.
