I get in from a long day at school and chuck my bag on the floor in the hall. I go in to the kitchen and make myself a bowl of cereal before picking up my bag and bringing it upstairs along with my cereal. Ugh why did I have to stay up all night last night? I might have to have a nap later on. Sometimes I feel like I really need to change my sleeping patterns but there is just too much interesting stuff on the internet to go to sleep before at least three in the morning each night but I always regret it every morning when I’m dragged from sleep by my insistent alarm.
I sigh as I go to sit on my bed and eat my cereal, I have way to much homework tonight so I sit up to check if I can get away with not doing it and to my delight I see that I don’t “need” to do any of it right now so I just decide to lie down on my bed and maybe try to catch up on some rest, but before I can do any of that my phone rings. I quickly scramble to get find it in my mess of sheets and finally retrieve it. With a smile on my face I look at the screen to check who’s calling me, my smile grows even wider when I see it’s Dan who is calling.
“Hello!” I say as I hit the answer button and bring the phone up to my ear. “Phil! I need to tell you something and I need to you to not say anything and just listen until I’m finished, is that okay with you?” he says all in one breath, from what I can hear in the background he is outside in a very windy place and he is slightly out of breath. “Y-yeah it is, Dan is everything okay?” by this point I’m quite worried as I have no idea what Dan is going to tell me and from what I can tell he sounds worried about telling me. I hear him taking a deep breath before saying the next thing “Yeah, everything’s fine Phil it’s just that….. Well I’ve been in love with you for the past three years and I just had to tell you because I can’t take keeping this from you for one more day so there, it’s okay if you never want to speak to me again”. My eyes widened as I heard what he was saying and my breath caught in my throat before saying what I was about to say “wait! Dan…. I love you too, I’ve just been too nervous to tell you and well now I’ve said that you better not be joking!”
“Phil you turnip! Of course I’m not joking! I really do love you” he said, bow sounding overjoyed that I felt the same way.
“Ugh I really want to see you now! Don’t think I can wait until tomorrow!” I said in frustration. “Why wait?” he said with an obvious smirk in his voice and just as I was about to ask what he was on about, a rock hit my window and I suddenly understood what he meant.
I quickly ran to my window and threw it open, looking down to see Dan stood under the window holding a bunch of red roses. My face immediately broke in to huge grin and I just stood there, grinning like an idiot and hanging out of my window until he signalled for me to come down. I quickly closed the window and ran to the bathroom to fix to my hair and then ran downstairs to put on shoes and yanked open the door. I ran out of the house and straight in Dan’s arms, “Have I ever told you how cliché you are” I said breathlessly. “Who said being cliché was a bad thing?” he said as he slowly raised my head from his shoulder and pushed it gently towards his. I cross the rest of the distance between our faces and when our lips met it was a gentle and loving kiss, his lips just moulded into mine and in that second I couldn’t be happier.
