Ten days

Eight

He sat there in class waiting for the bell to ring. He knew he could walk out, this wasn't a normal high school but he did want to have a good career, however his mind was fixated on her. Her smile, her laughter, her body, her hair, her smell, her touch, her voice... her lips. He wanted all of her--to himself. He didn't want anyone else to have her. She was perfect in every way and he wished to shower her. He wanted to give her the world and more. That was the least he could do for waiting this long... He came back to America for a reason: He had a mission and that was to finally be with Ivory. Damn it, today was the day he would finally tell her and he was confident this time.

"What? She isn't here? Then where is she?" His eyes filled with sadness and anger.

"Relax lover boy, she's with her aunt."

"Her aunt?" his eyebrow rose with disbelief.

"Yeah, yesterday we went for breakfast but she had to go because her aunt really missed her. it makes sense to be honest, she's never with family as much."

Matt kept giving Sam that same stare as if she were lying but he knew that she'd never lie so he sat down at the computer desk in defeat. "I guess I can tell her tomorrow... "

"Tell her?" Sammy leaned in close with an evil grin,"Tell her what exactly?"

"Well..." He said spinning around in the chair, "I wanna ask her--to be my girlfriend."

Sam grinned in approval. "I KNEW IT. I told her you liked her."

"Hm, I don't like her. I love her. I have for awhile... The trip to England helped me realize that--I was supposed to be there for a year but I couldn't do it. Every day I thought about her, I dreamed of her. She was my waking thoughts to my sleeping dreams. I couldn't eat, I couldn't study. I didn't talk to anyone, I wasn't myself without her..."

Sam stared at him in awe. "Holy...." Getting up she pulled Matt out of the chair and into the hallway.

"Hey hey, I know you hate me but what did i do wrong?!"

"STANDING HERE, NOT TELLING HER HOW YOU FEEL!" Sam's voice roared through the dorm hallway.

"Yeah but she's at her aunt's house...." he looked away, "Let them have their time..."

"ACK Her Auntie can wait. You--This is more important..."

"Look we can do it tomorrow? I actually have to study a lot tonight, tomorrow I'm free.. Are you? We can go over there and I'll tell her then."

"Hmph, fine." The fierce girl said stubbornly...

"Good. Now I'll see you tomorrow, thanks for listening..."
