I woke up the next morning feeling like total shit. The only thing getting me out of bed this morning is Ralph. I swing my legs over my bed and walk over to the bathroom. I brush my teeth and wash my face.

I'm not wearing anything special today. I throw on dark gray sweat pants and a plain red shirt. Yupp.. Nothing special. I walked down stairs and grab my morning banana.

I don't feel hungry. So I put my banana back and slug off to my car. I look up at the clouds and it was a dark depressing day. More like everything in my life so far... But Ralph.... He makes life bareable...

Then I start thinking about his longish red hair. The way it covers one eye. Ohhh it was so cute. The way his smile brightens a room. That boy man. That boy. Gosh do I love him.

We have not said it formally to each other yet.. Sure we sign things off with love but we haven't said it yet. One day we will. Anyways. I pull into school and into my parking lot. I see Amy waiting for me with her friends. God why didn't I just end it?...

I get out of the car and Amy wrapps her arms around my neck and pulls me into a kiss. I don't feel a thing. Like normal. I glance over to the side and see Ralph staring at us. Oh shit.

It looks like I broke his heart. He shakes his head and walks away. No this can't happen. He makes my life worth living. I push Amy to the side and run after Ralph.

"Ralph!" I call out.

He didn't answer me. He just continued to walk away. "Ralph!!" I called out again. This time I caught up to him and pulles him to the side of the school where no one can see us.

"What Jamie!" Ralph said with pure pain hitting each word.

"It's not what you think."

"It sure looked like it!"

I ooened my mouth but no words came out. It is what he thinks. I was kissing her. I looked Ralph straight in his deep eyes eyes. They were about to spill over with tears. I pushed his against the wall. I traced my finger along his jaw line.

"Ralph I know what you saw.... Believe me. She means nothing to me at all. I hate her Ralph! I feel nothing. I only feel warm and fuzzy, when I kiss you!" I said without breaking our eye contact.

"How do I know that!" He said.

I pressed my body closer. Making me feel the tingles race through my body. I felt his minty breath fan my gace as I brought my closer.

"I love you...... I never told anyone that but my mother." I said.

He froze. He opened his mouth but no sound was made. He closed his eyes and and smiled lighty. "I love you too Jamie." He said. Then I touched his lips lighty with my own. I felt the explosion of butterflies fly around.

He was mine.

No doubt about it.

The day goes on without much thought. I head off to lunch but stoppimg by a certain someone's locker. I'll be getting his note later. I go to my table. My team was getting pumped for the game. I smiled to myself.

Football was another weekness of mine. I loved the sport. I am the number one quarter back. Not trying to sound full of myself but I'm pretty good. Foot ball is taking me to college. Coach says if I play good enough. I will not have to worry. I'm pretty much banking on it.

They start talking about there drills and plays. I could not wait for the game. Football takes my mind off of things. Every thing that seems wrong just goes away for a while.
