Life in a Fantasy

Chapter Five

I texted my dad that I was going to go to school with Patricia. So at least he knew where I was. But than I remembered the whole thing with William last night. I decided to act like nothing is known and act like a regular friend. So we all go in front of the school, as usual. William shows up. Everything in me wanted to say something, but I knew I could not. That is the one thing about me that sucked. So I just stood there saying nothing. Than Aaron came up with a girl. Aaron came straight for me, "This is Victoria, my sister." William was staring at him with the evil eye. I whispered to Patricia, "What is William's number?" She snatched my phone and put his number in. Than, as usual, bus comes and the doors opens, we have breakfast and than we go to our lockers. When I opened mine, however, a note fell out. I opened it. "I like you" That is all it said. I immediately looked up at William, he was staring at me. I looked down, my heart racing. My thoughts were racing. But holy crap, William likes me! I ignored it. I promise I am going to be a normal friend and start from there. So I race into the classroom and sit down. "I got a not that says someone likes me, well, 'I like you'" 

"Do you think it is William?"

"I do not know. When I went to look at him, he was staring at me, so I think so. But I am not going to worry about it. If he likes me, he likes me." 

So I decided to text him. "This is Emma, what is up with you and Aaron?"

"Me and him are natural enemies, that and he is trying to take you away from me." 

"Wait, does he like me? Do you know?"

"Yeah, he likes you. That is the main reason why we are at each other's throats."

"Do you like me?"

"Yeah......" 

"Okay."

"Is that a problem?"

"No, not at all."
I looked up at him and he looked like a lot of relief got off of him. I kind of laughed. Now I texted Patricia. "Well, he likes me, but so does Aaron."

"Oooo, what a combination that is."
"I know right."

"So are you going to go out with him?"

"Who, William?"

"Yeah"

"Idk him enough."

"Okay, get together it is."

I looked at her. She was being dead serious. That was a part of her I have never seen. I laughed at that too. She was being serious for the first time since I have seen her. So once again, recess came and we went outside. "So, Saturday, where do you all want to meet?" Patricia said to all of us once we all came.

"How about Dairy Queen." William said very quickly.

"All for Dairy Queen?" We all raised our hand. I smiled, that was kind of funny, we all just rose our hand quickly and at the same time. So they went to talking, but as usual, William was glancing at me every five seconds. But this time, his face was red, he was blushing. I did not know why, but I kept glancing at him this time. Then I looked down, and his hand was really close to mine. I started to blush, I know I did. I just looked ahead of me and started to listen into the conversation again. The inside of me was laughing, I almost broke into laughter just standing there. But at the same time, he was trying to hold my hand, I think. I am not going to rush in. I do not even know him. I can just hold the hand of someone I do not know. So I did not move, I just was waiting to see what he would do. He kept glancing at me, and I felt the presence of his hand get closer. And just when it looked like he was going to grab my hand, the lunch bell rang. He closed his eyes like he was disappointed in himself. I felt bad now. But at the same time, he needs to realize it is going to fast. So I decided to text him as we sat down. "Were you trying to hold my hand?"

"Yeah. Sorry."

"You are okay, it is just... I do not really know you well."

"Oh. Okay, I understand." Than he let out a sigh. And I felt bad again.

"Do not take that the wrong way, now. Maybe if I knew you more, we could." He looked at me. But the way he looked at me was so cute. I smiled, almost laughed. He looked like he just got so excited. It was kind of funny. So we both just looked at them and listened into the conversation. But wait, was I giving into this? Am I starting to like him? I looked at him, and he had a small smile on his face, and than he looked down into a big smile. I laughed. He looked at me, he knew why I was laughing. We looked at each other for a few minutes, not one of us looking away. I felt weird inside. It was like he was challenging me to look away. I smiled, thinking that was funny. But yet, neither of us looked away. Than the bell rang to go back to our classes. While we were walking, he was really close. I could feel his body heat. Yeah, I am starting to like him and I do not even know him all that well.
