The Secret Prisoner

Chartper 12

It was the morning after the dance. I thought I saw something move in my room. I was hoping it was just my imagination running off again. And it was not a person searching my room for something to get me in trouble. I had so much that could get me in trouble. Then O thought what if it was nightmare Pete trying to kill me like in my dream. I knew I had to tell someone but I don't trust most of the people here. I only trust Angel and Daniel, but they already know about my dreams. When I went to class Mrs. Futch said "Your finally early mister smith." I sat in my assigned seat. When Angel came in I was overwhelmed with chills and I got so nervous. she was all pink and I think she had a nervous looking smile. That whole class period felt so weird. After class I went to her to ask the hard question. I said "Why was it so awkward." she looked at me . She breathed in deeply and said "I think that it is because that was my first time I kissed someone." That night I went to Friendly Pete to talk about my dream and want happened. Of course he was in his book. He probably sleeping or waiting for me to come. I wondered how he knew everything before I told him. Maybe it is a old wizard thing. I did my usual by opening the book and reading a sentence. He didn't come out, so I did it again. Then all of a sudden he jumped out of the book. I yelled and no not like a girl. He said that he was trying to lighten the mood up. Then we both got serious I told him everything. He just sat there. listening with a head not here and there. He said something that stuck to me. He said " Even if your on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there. Will Roger told me that when I was in a spot that you are." Then I thought he liked a girl. He said "No I just wasn't doing anything for myself." Then I asked how he knew what I was thinking. He said "It is because I know you Tom." I did say thank you and went to my room to fumble over it. Before I went to bed I got up and went to the girl's room. I knocked on the door and Angel came out. She asked me "Why are you at the door when you could get caught." Then I got nervous but I took a breath. I said "Because I wanted to say goodnight." she told me goodnight. I thought to myself as I walked back to my room. Darn I chickened out again. I went to my mirror and rehearsed what I would tell her someday. Little did I know Angel was sitting in her window looking at the stars. Then wishing that me and her would someday be a thing.
