There's Another Choice

Chapter 4

"Have a seat everyone and no talking" said Ms. Miller. Ugh! I can't believe the teacher that got me here in the first place is the lady that is watching me in detention. I saw Dominic sitting next to Thomas and almost passed out on the cold yellow and white checkered tile floor. Dominic and Thomas are the hottest guys at school and they were both in my detention room. If they are in here, I might get in trouble more often now.

Dominic Perez is Puerto Rican and African-American with his full lips and nice cheekbones.He has deep chesnut brown hair that makes me want to just run my fingers through all day. Don't forget his perfect smile that makes me want to melt. I have had a crush on him since freshman year when we bumped into eachother in the hallway on my way to math. It turned out he was in my math class when I finally realized where I was going and saw him in the back. I was so crushed when I found out his last name started with a P. I wanted to sit next to him and talk to him before the other girls got to him. Of course, that didn't happen. All the girls swarmed to him and chattered about him playing sports and being a transfer student. Ever since then. we have always had math together. Thomas on the other hand is a slacker. He is so cute too, but my parents wouldn't approve of me ever liking a slacker.

Thomas is best friends with Dominic. Like Dominic, Thomas is also a basketball player. He has that little growth of a mustache. They are both just so irrestibly adorable and sexy. I tried to walk in casually, but ended up almost tripping on my shoelace. I don't know how that got untied since I just tied it right before leaving my sixth period. I gave Ms. Miller the slip and heard a voice. 

"Yo Martha, come sit over here. I saved a seat for you." I turned around and smiled the best smile I could smile in my dopey state. The Dominic Perez saved a seat for me by his friends and called me over. I strolled the sexiest I could and sat down. This time I did not trip.

"Hey Dominic. Hey Thomas. Thanks for saving me a seat." I said politely. Boy were Dominic's chocolate brown eyes dreamy. They made want to get strawberries and dip them into his eyes, and I don't even like strawberries. I would eat them for him though. 

"No problemo chica bonita" said Dominic, clearly flirting with me. I laughed and replied "Oh so you speak spanish now senor?" I raised my eyebrow slightly. I've heard from people that I look really hot when I do it so why don't I try it on Dominic.

Thomas looked at me funny and pointed to my eyebrow and said, "Ummm Martha, is everything okay with your eye?" I stopped with my eyebrow immediately. I felt so embarassed and  could feel the color rushing to my cheeks. I didn't know what to do so I just nodded my head and turned around. Good thing Ms. Miller had chosen that time to quiet us all down. I can't believe I had to sit here for an hour in silence and write down sentences. Can you say elementary school punishment over again? This does not help me use the bathroom any faster. 

I was writing my tenth sentence of "I will not go to the bathroom for over 30 minutes next time I have to use the restroom, but if I do go for over 30 minutes, I know my consequences."  I felt something hit my shoulder and fall on the floor. I turned slightly to the floor and saw a note on the floor written on the front

To: Martha 

I bet it was another note from Dominic. It looked like his handwriting. 

Hey Martha,

Sorry about Thomas earlier. He can be a little annoying at times. I have to say you are really funny. If I knew you were this cool, I would've talked to you sooner like last year when we bumped in the hallways. I was a transfer student and you were a freshman. We were both so new and confused. Well, Im excited for our lunch date at McDonalds after this.  

~Dominic ;)

Sighh Dominic's notes were soo cute. I hope he didn't see me make that weird face. I bit my lip and smiled that dopey smile. I looked over at him and saw him writing something. He turned to me and smiled and winked. Somehow, I was able to wink back. I do not know if my wink was okay or not because I was too excited for our trip to McDonalds. I looked at the clock and saw that we still had a half an hour left in here. I was going crazy writing these stupid sentences. I decided to write back to Dominic.

Dear Dom (can I call you that?),

It's okay. I was trying something new faces lol and I guess it was an epic fail. It'ts better to find out now than later anyways. You really think I'm cool? Thanks. If anything, you are the cool one with your cute self. Lol ;) I wish we did talk sooner cuz who knows where we wud be at this point. I am excited too. Only 30 more minutes and then off to our McDonalds (date?) Just hold in there and the time will pass by fast. Remember time flies when ur having fun ;)

                          ~Marthaaa :*

Time flies when you're having fun? What was I thinking?! And DOM?! WHAT THE HECK?!! I probably sound so stupid to him. Ugh!

Time passes and Dominic and I are passing notes back and forth with our little witty and flirty sentences to each other. I felt like such a child, but when writing these notes, I get a rush of adrenaline I had never felt before. I don't know what to call this feeling but I really like it. 

~Oh I hope detention ends soon or I might explode. ~
