The next few weeks were amazing , Adam and i spent most of our times together . Between going out , hanging at school , and talking every night at the phone , i felt like my life was all about him and so did his . we told each other everything , spoke about everything and every time i had something to say he'd be the first on my mind . Now that i know him better , i know that he's not that much of a talker , and he rarely speaks about his feelings . In fact , other than stating the facts , Adam almost never says what he feels about things that are going around him , but i learned to read those feelings off his words .
On Tuesday of the first week in march , Faye turned out to be absent from school . Faye is always here , what happened ? i called her to check on her and she told me she wasn't feeling well so i asked her if i can come over after school and she was okay with it . When i told Adam about my plans , he suggested to come with me and i felt like it was better than me going all alone so we agreed on meeting in front of the school gate after my last period .
I felt a little twinge of joy when the bell rang , i was glad to be spending time with Adam . when i got out , i saw him by the gate waiting for me while listening to music on his phone . I wonder what kind of music he likes the most ? We haven't spoke about that ... weird .
i approached him and he smiled as soon as he saw me . Embarrassed that he was there waiting fr me for over an hour , i had to apology :
"I am sorry if i kept you waiting , i know your last period was an hour ago ."
"It's fine , i stay late after my last period every day waiting for my friends to finish so it's something am used to . Besides , beautiful things are worth waiting for . so , shall we go ?"
"Yes , let's go . i'd like to take the longer road if that's okay , i'm feeling like walking today . I hope you don't mind ."
"Not at all ."
while walking , i asked him about the kind of music he likes , i don't like it when a question keeps on haunting my thoughts . Turns out we have the same taste of music , but he likes louder music and rap and all . overall , we share similar taste and that's good .
"You know Serena , people are now teasing me about you . Turns out the news travel fast ."
"Now i know why People look at me in a weird way , i guess they're wondering what a child like me is doing with a guy like you ..."
"Or what a Gorgeously beautiful smart girl is doing with the shy loser , that seems more logical i guess ."
That did it for me , i got all red and shy and looked down for the rest of the road while he laughed and teased me . thirty minutes later we were in front of Faye's building . Adam looked at me , and it was obvious that he didn't want to go , so he asked me :
"Can i go up with you ? i came all the way here it doesn't seem fair to Faye if i don't at least check up on her ."
"I think her mom isn't home so it's okay , i am sure she'll be glad to see you ."
Oh no , she will be far from glad . I think she will hate me for the rest of her life but that's what you get for leaving me an entire day all alone at school .
We were inside now waiting for the elevator to come . he grabbed my hand and my heart started beating so fast i felt like it was going to stop . when the elevator came , he let me go in first , then he pushed the wrong floor .
"Adam , she's on the third floor not the seventh , you got the wrong floor . i thought you knew ."
"Does she ? oh sorry i forgot , i really thought she was on the seventh . But that's okay ."
