The Stars In Me

The World Is Beautiul

I couldn't stop smiling. We were running towards the tree, where we first met. She was holding my hand, pulling me towards it.

"Jake, don't you feel we're going to meet once more?" She said as she sat down, panting.

"Yeah, we'll meet again," I said, smiling. She leaned forward and whispered softly, "Let's start this all over again when we'll meet, okay?"

"We will, I promise." I gave a peck on her cheek. She smiled. She surely had the most amazing smile...

~~~X~~~

I opened my eyes slowly. I can't believe it's morning so soon. That dream....it seemed like yesterday that I had seen the amazing smile. It was so familiar....

I looked at the clock. It was time to get dressed. Suddenly something struck my head, it was Emma's birthday today.

I dressed up quickly and walked downstairs. I didn't take my breakfast, for I had to plan a surprise for her. I mean, who wouldn't want to surprise their dream girl, right?

"Hey, Jake wait for me!" Someone shouted. It was, of course, Garry. "I can't believe it's been one week now...."

I frowned. "One week since what?" I asked, confused. He gave me his sly smile and said, "Since you and Grace went on a date, obviously!"

"Dude, you were counting the days? You're weird bro!"

"Hehe, I know, right?! Anyways, do you really like her?"

"Oh man, I told ya before it's just a fake relationship. I hate Grace, you know it! I love...." I blushed at the thought of Emma.

"Yeah yeah, you like Emma. But you kissed Grace already, so she's practically your girlfriend."

"IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT! I hate that evil genius!"

He shrugged and wandered off, smiling. I sighed and walked slowly. What could be the best gift for Emma?

Suddenly something hit me on the head. I turned around to find.... nobody? I looked down to see a small stone lying down. I shrugged and walked away. But soon, another stone hit me, and it was bigger than the last one.

"Who the heck is throwing these?!" I burst out, annoyed. When no one came out, I thought it was some kind of joke playing on me and ran away. It was probably Grace, 'cause she's the only prankster I know.

~~~X~~~

I took a deep breath and entered the classroom. I looked at Emma. She was looking more beautiful than ever, with people crowding her. She waved at me. I blushed and waved back. Why it couldn't have been Emma instead of that evil genius, Grace, as my girlfriend?! I swear, I didn't have to pretend then!

"Alright students, pay attention here, there's going to be another new student this year. She'll be here next week and I hope you are going to welcome her warmly." The teacher stated. "And I hope you all have your dates ready for the dance. The month's ending soon!"

Oh man, I totally forgot about this crap! I have only one chance of asking Emma about the dance. How about.... I make it a date today?!
