Amanda's P.O.V
I walk into school with sweaty palms and nervous glances. My converse skid the ground as I see the swarm of people around me, unwillingly becoming louder and louder. My heart starts to best faster and my breath quickens as I climb my way through the crowd and to my locker, where I quickly grab my things and run into Math just as the bell rings. My teacher sends me a hateful glare but I just grin as I see my beautiful girlfriend, Sara.
All of my thoughts and feelings disappear as I see her face. I walk to my desk in the back and start flipping through my math book as she nudges my leg with her foot. I look up as she grins at me and I quickly return it. I pull out a sheet of paper and scribble out a messy heart just as the lesson begins. I hand it to her and grin once again, my eyes brightening seeing her reaction.
Nobody knows we are dating, we haven't even come out of the closet to our parents yet, but I secretly love the midnight secrets we both share. We've been dating since 8th grade and it's been magical. I write down the equation and run my hand through my long brunette hair as the numbers mix up in my head, hair like every day.
After what seems like hours I hear the bell ring and jump, snapping out of my never ending gaze at the bird siting on the tree out the window. I push back my chair and slowly walk out of the room, trying to hide my excitement for English, yay. I feel Sara grab my hand as we walk down the hallway, propel unaware of our existence, just how I like it.
When I take my seat in English I see the teacher slap a book on each desk with excited eyes. I look down to see my worst nightmare, The Odyssey. I sigh and kick the seat in front of me in frustration. Great, I think, another book to waste my time for. I look over at Sara and she seems unfazed by the book, and more excited. I roll my eyes and listen to the teacher tell us an essay on this book will count 20% of our grade. I sigh and turn to page one, counting down the minutes for lunch.
I yet again hear the bell ring and run toward the doors, Sara right behind me. As we walk closer to my locker, she whispers in my ear, "Do you want to skip?" I look at her and whisper back, "Hell yeah!", grateful of this sudden change of plans. She sends me a glare on my choice of words but shrugs it off as we get our stuff out of my locker and rush to the nearest exit and to my beat up truck, where we've shared most of our memories.
Soon enough we turn into an empty parking lot and I cut off the engine, but leave the radio on low, just is we can talk. I turn and look at her and grab her face and kiss her sweetly, waiting all day for this moment to happen. She gladly returned the kiss, and when I turn to pull away, she looks into my hazel eyes and I look into her blue sky eyes and she smiles, and our mouths move in sync. I lean back into the drivers seat and pull my legs up to my chest and sigh. She grabs my hand and says, "Mandy, what's wrong?" I shrug and look up at her, and ask, "Do you love me?"
This question I ask almost daily, but her response is always different. She smiles and giggles, pulls me up to meet her face and says, "I've always loved your eyes, they are so cool and change colors and I could just start into them forever." I smile as she hugs me around my waist and I lean my head on her shoulder. I turn my head and mumble in her neck, "I love you." All she dose is nod and hugs me tightly as we slowly watch the park grow in population.
She gets out of my truck and pulls me out as well, and we walk to the swing set and we swing in silence, watching the little kids rush past us in a game of tag. I look over at her and say, "I remember when I was that young, sometimes I just want to go back and never grow up." She giggles her cute little giggle and responds, "Sometimes I wish that also, but now I'd rather live in the now, you and me forever baby."
