Chapter 4: Too Good For Me

Madeleine invited me over her house to work on the project. She said I could meet her there, but I insisted on just taking the first train with her. Her dad picked us up from the subway and was asking a lot of questions, but I get it he cares for her and I thought to myself if I had a daughter I'd be the same way. We live in the same neighborhood so our houses were very similar; she gave me a quick tour and then we got to work or at least tried. It was so very awkward, so I decided to tell her we should take a break to get to know each other and she was actually really cool. January couldn't have been more wrong about her and I figured January was just jealous. Madeline taught me about the word cliche and a lot of other things; she's so smart, but not in an annoying brainiac way; she almost makes it relatable. After we got to know each other we couldn't stop laughing and she told me to call her Maddie because she liked it better the Madeleine and she thought I earned it. We had so much fun; we even cheers to each other for me not being such an asshole and her clicheness and i made sure to make it really loud and clear i said the word Maddie. All of the sudden I felt this urge, stronger then anything ever to kiss her. She never looked so beautiful and she was so smart. Right when our lips were about to touch her brother stormed in and then I came back down to reality. I stormed out and said my Mom had wanted to me for dinner, but I think she knew something was up. I really hope she doesn't think she did anything wrong because she didn't. I did... I let her fall for me; I let her lower her standards. She deserves some Harvard student with a bright future; someone who will treat her right and buy her a big house because they have such a good job because they got into such a good college because they were so smart. Someone who will impress her family; someone who isn't a ball brain and doesn't have hoey ex girlfriends like me. Someone who isn't a player. She deserves better then me and I couldn't let her ruin her life, but I still couldn't get her out of my brain. I never felt this before. She makes me want to be a better person already and I just got to know her. She has me under some spell and then it hit me... we have school tomorrow and if she did think I stormed out because of her it's going to be soooo awkward.
