Someday

Josh's point of view

Groaning when I hear the sound that I hated most. My alarm.

Looking at the time, 6:30 A.M. "I've got time," and closing my eyes just for one second.

One second.

Just one second, Josh.

"You're late, Mr. Matthews." My professor says in a not so friendly tone. He was clearly annoyed that I was late.

I look as I could see about 70 pairs of eyes on me, including the professor's.

"Sorry, it won't happen again."

"It better not. Or else you won't be passing this class. This is the second time this week."

"Yes sir."

"Now go take a seat."

I look around and see if there were any empty seats. Finding one and quickly sitting down with my stuff.

Once I sat down the lecture started. I rest my chin on my hand and prayed that would keep my eyes open and my ears listening the whole two hours. Tapping my foot on the ground quickly, moving my leg to keep myself from falling asleep in the 7 a.m. morning class.

Looking at the clock across from the large room and see I still had an hour, considering I was thirty minutes late.

Just one hour and I will leave. My thoughts going back in time when I saw Maya.

Flashback

Maya and I were on her bed, laying on our stomachs watching some show on Netflix on her computer.

She was still in her junior year of high school, but after the Ski lodge we saw each other every chance I got.

"Why don't you just kiss me?" She says and she moves to her side.

I was shocked that she had asked that question. It was so random. 

"Do I look like a person who can't kiss?"

"What?"

"I'll have you know I can tie a cherry stem with my tounge. And people say that those people are the best kissers."

Her words cause my cheeks to flush in a pink color. "No it's not that."

"Then what it is, Josh?" She ask helpless.

"I just- I don't know, Maya."

"Is it cause I am too young?"

Those words that came out of her mouth flipped a switch in me. Pushing her back so her back was on her bed and her face was facing the ceiling. I climb on top of her and look into her breathtaking, blue eyes. The sudden action shocked Maya, and caused her to let out a gasp.

Her chest rising up and down, with each breath she took. Shocked.

"Maya, you are perfect to me in every way. You mean the world to me and would anything for you. My heart belongs to you. You are not too young."

"But-"

I cut her off, "it was an excuse. I tried to convince myself. Every time I saw you, I knew I liked you. I mean what's not to like?"

"Josh I can list many things."

"Well I don't see any flaws."

~~~

"Hey. Hello." I heard someone talking bringing me back from my thoughts.

I open my eyes, that I had not realized that had closed. I had fallen asleep, again. It was a sign from God to just not take this class. 

"Josh, right?"

"Yeah. Thanks for waking me before I got caught." I smile, lazily. "And your name is?"

"Caleb Beck." He says.
