Aurora on Pointe

Chapter Four

We stoped behind a few palm trees and I can't even imagine what's gonna happen now. Should I run? Scream? I don't know, but right now I can't seem to move. Slowly, I look up..."J-Jason?!" Well that wasn't what I was expecting.

"Hey Erin...sorry I just, ya know, pulled you away from your friends like that..." I can't believe he's here! What do I do? What do I say? Should I slap him? Laugh it off? Oh god! Jason Daniels is standing in front of me! When we arrived, I didn't question that Jason wasn't there. I just thought he was with his other friends or something. Too cool for me or my friends..."Well...I just wanted to also say sorry for not coming today, I got caught up in a last minute football meeting for seniors today. It was way boring..." He laughed it off, clearly nervous for some reason. Why would he be nervous? I'm the one that should be! But, strangely, I'm not.

"Oh...haha...don't worry about it Jason." I looked down and couldn't help but notice what he was wearing: blue plaid shorts with a tight, white Aero t-shirt and white Aero sandals. Damn. Oh jeez, Erin! Stop checking him out! I quickly looked up to see him staring at me with a goofy grin on his face. Aw!!! His blond hair was fluffed naturally and came down above his blue eyes...that were looking at me... affectionately...He's looking at you Erin! Say something! "So, you came all the way out here to apologize? That's...sweet..."I giggled a little than quickly covered my mouth. Crap.

His smile widened, "Yeah, well I wanted to see you..." His eyes wandered to the ground. AW!!! SO SWEET! And I thought he was just your typical player! "So, did you and your friends have fun? I really wanted to come." Jason looked at me again. 

"Uh, yeah! Though it would of been better with you...maybe we can hang and catch up? I'll tell you all about today! My friends are pretty funny, ya know." I babbled on while my hands twitched. I think I just asked him out! Oh no! I don't think I can handle rejection! "Only if you want to!" I quickly added in.

"Hm...isn't the guy supposed to ask the girl out?" He laughed. Crap. "But, yes I would love to hang out with you and get caught up!" Well, it was worth a try- Wait...WHAT?! Jason laughed again, probably from the shocked expression on my face. "Only if you want to?" He mocked and stiffled another laugh.

"Ha-ha, funny! I was the one who asked you wasn't I?" A smile crept on my face, "Of course I want to!" We both stared at each other grinning like crazy. I cleared my throat, "So, when are you free?"

"Well, football practice is alomost everyday this week..." 

"Almost everyday?" I asked with some hope.

"Everyday..." I sighed, "Except Tuesday!" I looked up and smiled. He returned it, "So Tuesday, after school? We'll go get icecream, if that's okay?"

"Icecream's awesome!" I giggled and hugged him. Since he was way taller than me, around 6 foot, I slid my arms around his waist and he squeezed his arms around my shoulders and neck possessively. I could stay in his warm embrace all night...Unfortunately, Isabel chose this time to grab my arm and pull me away. Really?! What's up with people grabbing my arm today?!

"Sorry muchachos, we gotta go!" Did I mention Isabel speaks Spanish? Well yea, her family's from the Dominican Republic. And right now I want her to be muerto...I think that means dead? Oh well, I took Italian anyway. "Adios Jason!"

"Bye Jason!" I managed to get out as Isabel dragged me to her car.

"See Ya Erin!" I hear him yell back. Jeez, I miss him already...Get a hold of yourself Erin! You'll see him Tuesday and probably at school tomorrow! School. That's another thing I have to worry about. Thankgod I don't have another ballet lesson until Thursday! 

When we pulled up to my house, I said goodbye to Isabel and went inside. Ugg, what a day! It was really fun just to be a free, fun teenager! Now I just want to sleep..."ERIN!" Crap. "Do you realize how late it is young lady?"

"It's only-" I checked the clock in the livingroom "-9:56."

"No escuses! Your first day of school is tomorrow and I don't want you to wake up exhasted!" I can't blame my mom for yelling, she's always been overprotective of me. Let's just say she has very strong maternal instinks. "Off to bed. Goodnight sweety."

"Night mom." I slowly made my way up the stairs to my room. I stripped all my clothes from my body, tossed them into the hamper and bathed in the shower. Ahhh! The sweet relief of not having sand and salt stuck in your hair! Jeez, I must of looked monsterous to Jason...
