My Teen Love

Chapter 6

     "I've become so numb
      I can't feel you there..."
     'Numb' by Linkin Park

****

The term had gone pretty well but the only problem now was that my crush had not still asked me out. It was our graduation and everyone was looking so good.

I was graduating to high school and one thing that excited me most was that I was going to be in the same school with Dave. He was going to his sophomore year while I was going to be a freshman.

For once I had a rethink. Dave would definitely have a girlfriend in school already. He was too cute to be single.

...
I kinda hate grad because of the long speeches and shiit. Everyone was getting bored by the principal's speech and had started doing one thing or the other with their phone.

I opened my phone to see a text. It was from Dave.
"Hey! When are you going to be free let's hang out"
"I'll be free this evening. Where?"
"Crystal park by 4" he replied
"Crystal it is".

It was time for Dance! Dance!! Dance!!! And this was the part the students loved most. Shortly after i had started dancing, Jack walked up to me asked if I could dance with him.

I almost turned him down but then remembered what Hannah had told me. I decided to dance with him and after about 30minutes, he decided we sit and have a little talk.

We started discussing our likes and dislikes and some other stuff. He made me laugh most of the time that was when I realized he was not that bad after all. I was glad he didn't bring up the "I love you, I really do" talk.

I realized that it was almost 3pm and told him I had somewhere to be by 4. I apologized and said we would meet this night at the after party at Blessings house. He smiled and thanked him for the time I spend with him. I smiled back and stormed off.

Blessing who was the supposed Queen Bee had decided to host the after party at her place. It was going to be a sleep over and everyone was expected to be there. She wasn't going to let her name die down like that and probably wanted to use this medium. The party was scheduled by 10pm till dawn and she knew it was going to be boom. Ella and her bestie were actually going there to feed their eyes as they knew things would probably happen that night.

Today was a very free day for me and I was allowed to hang out because the session was over. I got home after spending a little time with Jackson and immediately freshened up.

It was a few minutes past 4 when I got to crystal park. The park was pretty big and I had been there a couple of times with my family.

I couldn't sight David and I hoped he was around. Just then my phone vibrated and I brought it out of my pocket to check who the caller was. I was kinda relived and scared at the same time on seeing who it was. It was David and there were two options. Either he's around or he called to say he couldn't make it anymore or its cancelled.

"Hello sweet" David said at the other line
"Hi" I replied "uhm! Im there already"
"Yh " I can sight you he replied"just called to ensure it was you"
With that I was relived and a smile was on my face.

Someone tickled from behind and I turned only to see my prince charming.

"U look sweet u know" he said "as always" he added.
I could help but smile. He was so cute and I always got silly around him. Always short of words.

He led me to a table for two and ordered drinks. He also ordered cookies. "I know it's one of your favourites" he said smiling. How did he know that? I thought, only to remember that we were together at Hannah's place.

We rode on some roller coasters, we had horse ride and a lot more. The place I enjoyed most was the dark room. It was damn scary. The skeletons, vulture, blood and everything. Different types of cries from animals and other things. David noticed how scared I was and pulled me closer to him.

When we were out of the dark room, David mimicked me. The scared face I put on some minutes ago. I couldn't help but give a a playful punch then he ran and I followed trying to give him one more punch. He was an athlete and despite the fact that he was half running and jugging I couldn't catch up with him. When we were both tired we fell on the grass laughing our ribs out. We were exhausted. We went ice cream stand and got some tacos.

It was already getting late and we decided to call it a day. As we were about to leave, he spun me around and said something and said he had something to ask.
"Go on" I told him.
Just there I heard what made me go numb. Did I hear him clearly? Or were they just imaginations?

Shiit! What was happening to me? Why do I keep on imagining things??
"Don't deceive yourself Ella, you're just cooking up things. That's not what he said" a voice in her head told her
"No! He really said it. It's not just imaginations. Don't just stand there like a stupid. Say something" she heard another voice say in her head.

Which was she going to follow now? The first or the second voice. It was left to her to choose.

Hey! What do you all think
Enjoying the story Hun!
Much love
