Love Sick ; C. Thomas Howell

DYLAN POV

After we had our milkshakes and talked for what felt like forever he drove me home. As he pulled up to my driveway, he looked at me

"I've had a really great time" he said smiling "Yeah, me too" I smiled looking down at the ground

"You wanna do this again?" He asked, I looked up at him, I nodded "yeah, that's sounds great"

"Maybe then we can go to this Italian restaurant that just opened down the street" he said, scooting closer to me "Mm" I said biting my lip

He then started to kiss me, slowly and gently - it was so sweet

His lips were soft as velvet and his movements were gentle

We broke our kiss after a good 2 minutes of heaven.

"See you tomorrow" he whispered, our faces still inches apart, I nodded

He gave me a peck and then I got out of the car

"Goodnight" he said through the car window, I waved "goodnight"

When I walked in I was flowing on cloud 9 I fell asleep that night dreaming about Matt.

When I got to school Matt immediately approached me, putting his right arm around my neck

"Hey" he said walking with me to my closet

"Hi" I said smiling faintly, "so, the party" he started "when should I pick you up?" He asked

Hearing him say that felt so right! I don't know if it was going to be serious between me and Matt at the moment, but you can never be too sure I guess.

"well the party starts at 8 pm, so pick me up 7.50 pm" I smiled, he nodded "great, see you tonight then" he kissed my temple and then scooted off.

Inside I felt warm, Matt is really sweet.

After two classes it was lunch time, Audrey waved me over, I sat down with my tray.

"so, are you and Matt together?" she asked pushing her fork down in her salad, making a crunchy noise

"we are dating" I confirmed, she looked at me surprised, "wow Dan, a guy?" she smiled "that's great" she put her fork in her mouth, a crunchy noise appearing again

Right now at this point I felt loose, like, I was jelly. I don't know why, it was like something big just got off of my shoulders and that I was floating.

"hey Dan... Dan... you okay?" Audrey snapped her fingers in front of me, I fell out of my gaze, I nodded "yeah" I smiled

DRAMA CLUB

"So, today we start rehearsing people" Heather spoke up, Matt sat beside me with his arm resting on my chair

"so we will start with Romeo and Juliet kissing scene" she said looking at Thomas and Anna, Anna sparkled up and her eyes were lit, Thomas on the other hand looked, again, uncomfortable, as he walked towards the stage he looked at me, I put my thumbs up to assure him that it is going to be good.

I don't know why I did that dumb hand "gesture" thingy, it was just at that moment where I thought; yeah, of course – why not?

As they stood on the stage Anna looked very intimidating, almost too sexual – I cringed by the thought of her and Thomas together.

Anna started to walk up the stairs to the "tower" we made, it wasn't finished yet, so it was just a cardboard color with some wood to hold it up.

"O, speak again, bright angel! For thou art
