C - It's You
My eyes opened in surprise. He smiled at me like he didn't remember that anger and hatred that he felt for me three days ago. And I couldn't believe that it was just three days ago. It felt like a week. I wasn't able to open my mouth for a few seconds. I took all of the courage that I have left and spoke.
"It's you?" I said softly. I stood and circled him. He looked at me in confusion as I circled him, figuring out how he could be my future boyfriend.
"What are you doing, Czerina?" he asked. He sure demanded an answer. I don't know how I can give him one.
I circled him more and critiqued him until he took my left wrist and made me stop. I shivered at his touch. I felt my blush. Why am I blushing? When he was able to stop me, he looked into my eyes and he held me there. I was completely frozen. His eyes are dark brown. They were beautiful. They were actually . . . mesmerizing. He blinked and I snapped. I stepped back and he let go of my wrist. I sat and stared at my feet. There's something going on with me. I'm sure of it. Now that I could truly see his eyes, they looked more beautiful than I saw them in my dream. His scent is overpowering and his voice is stuck in my mind. He sat beside me and I felt my body become tense. He probably didn't sense my reaction because he just went off on observing his surroundings. I fixed my books and notebooks and stuffed them into my bag. I took out the bracelet that I found two days ago and wore it. It truly is beautiful around my wrist.
"Why are you wearing my bracelet?!" Mr. Patterson exclaimed.
My head snapped at him and I saw him stare at my wrist. So it's his bracelet. Wait, he's J. Now, this is just overwhelming. It had both of our initials. Then the word ‘forever' is engraved at the back. Crazy.
I took it off and gave it to him. I wish it was mine. "Here you go, sir." He took it from me and shoved it into his pocket. Anger is evident on his face.
"I'm sorry, sir."was all I could say. I really want to apologize for what I have done. I didn't know it was his. But then I thought, What are the chances that the bracelet is his and that it has our initials?
"It's ok. It was my fault. I lost it." He said. His voice softened a little. Without thinking, I asked him a bold question.
"How do you imagine or picture your future?"
I looked at him intently and waited for a response. His face looked like he was thinking so I thought that he's considering my question.
He stared off into the distance and answered. "I'd picture myself with my own house, car and a lovely girlfriend that will soon become my wife. I'd want a happy and complete family. Just happy days." He flicked his eyes to mine and I saw some sadness in them. I remembered my detention and how he lied to me It made me more curious.
"What's wrong, sir?"
"It's just that the girl that I want to spend that future with is gone. Forever." He said, his voice cracking up a bit. He must've really loved that girl. C.
