Don't Dream It's Over

Chapter 4: Not All Guys Are Complete Douchesickles

BEEP BEEP BEEP
Ahh time to go to hell! Fabulous. Seriously, why can't I be homeschooled?

I go straight downstairs into the kitchen and grab the bread from the pantry and some peanut butter. I put a piece of bread in the toaster and cut up a banana to put on top of it when it was done. I poured some water into a mug and placed it in the microwave. I then got a chai tea bag and let it steep in the mug for 4 minutes. Once I had finished preparing the breakfast, I ate it and ran back upstairs to get ready. I put on a black top, some dark jean shorts and a white sweater. I put on some foundation, eyeliner and mascara before returning downstairs to get my bag. I hopped in my car and drove straight to school.

I entered through the grey steel doors and walked over to my locker. I pulled out the note Cory gave to me and read it to my self.

Tara,
I have known since we were both nine that I wanted to be with you.
I've spent a lot of time thinking about what to say to you.
I really like you, I would say something else but I know it would freak you out. If you need some time to think about how you feel, let me know.

-Cory x x x

I didn't know what to say. Cory is defiantly really cute and sure he pulled pranks on me in the past, but they were never really mean and he is a sweet guy. I think it was him all along. I have to tell him.

Huh, I guess not all guys are douchesickles

I walked over to Cory's locker to find him standing there grabbing his books with his back facing me. He was wearing a grey NIKE tank top that showed off his huge muscles and defined shoulders. His brown hair was a mess but he looked deliciously rumpled. I internally sighed and tapped his arm.

"Hey, I read your note." I said to him. He blushed and then said, "So..how do you feel?" He sounded nervous and I could see the hope shine in his eyes as he waited for me to answer. I immediately squashed any doubts he had about how I felt and said "I think I feel the same way." All at once his hard eyes softened. The tension gone from his body. He smiled. He was the happiest I'd ever seen him and I am so exited that I could do that!

"Well then, let me take you out. I will bring you to my place a cook you something." He said. I smiled.
"Sounds lovely. I'll be there at six."

As I walked away I heard him say "YES!" And I chuckled to myself knowing how exited he gets about me.

I arrived at Cory's house in a sparkly black dress with some black heels on and put my hair into a braided side bun. He opened the door wearing a black tux with a blue tie and stood there gaping at me.

" Wow," he said. "You look amazing"
He looked at me up and down which made me blush. As I walked in, I gave him a kiss on the cheek because hey, how could I not?

By the end of the night I had learned so much about him that I never knew before. He eventually took me to the living room and popped in a movie. We sat on the couch holding each other.
"This is nice." I said to him. He smiled at me and said "I'm so glad you feel the same way about me as I do about you."
I smiled and gave him another kiss which made him blush. This is perfect.

"Tara?"

"Hmmm?"

"I love you"
