When I Met You

That day Ill never forget

"Cassidy!" I hear Jerica scream from the kitchen.

I walk into the kitchen to see Jerica just staring into the pantry.

"Help me find something to eat."

"Do you not see all the food in there?"

"I do, but I don't want this stuff. I'll just go ask my mom if she will give us a dollar to get a pop from freedom."

"Ermm, ok."

Walking back from freedom, you'll never guess who we saw..

Chad.

Jerica calls him over to walk with us and they just start talking. Here I am, standing beside Jerica, and have nothing to say. Should this be happening? I mean, he has to notice me eventually.

We get back to the house and I flop on Jerica's bed. Next thing I know I see Jerica kick Chad and then Chad kicks me. Out of reaction, I kick Jerica. We somehow end up making this a game all threw the house.

I see Chad coming right at me and I run into Jerica's room and jump on her bed face down. I look over to see Chad's foot coming straight at me.

He kicked me straight in the mouth.

"Oh my god! I'm so sorry!!!!" Chad yells.

"It's alright, I'll be fine." I say as I run into the bathroom.

I walk out of the bathroom to see Jerica and Chad standing at the door.

"Are you sure your ok???? I didn't mean to do it!" Chad like yells in my face.

"Yes I'm fine" I say while chuckling.

Jerica and Chad talk for a while afterwards while I keep my phone in my face.

Next thing I know, he snatches it out of my hands.

"Give it back!" I yell.

"Nope! If you want it, come and get it."

I try to pry it out of his hands while he has one of my hands interlocked with his.

Wait.. Is this really happening? He's holding my hand right now. Does he notice he is holding my hand? Or am I imagining that he is holding my hand? No, he has to know that he's doing it.

"Jerica!!! Come help me!!!" I yell because I'm still panicking about him holding my hand.

She comes in and like smacks his head and gets his attention for just long enough for me to grab my phone.

"Haha, who has it now?" I say chuckling.

He pulls my wallet out of his pocket and says

"It's alright, I still have this!"

"How did you get that?!?!" I say as I try to pry that out of his hands too.

"Jerica! Where are you?!?! Your supposed to be helping me!"

"Nah, you can do it"

So here we are, sitting on Jerica's bedroom floor, fighting over my pink, sparkly wallet.

Again, he has one of my hands interlocked with his, and just looks at the TV and totally just stops what he's doing. I look at the TV too, and see him out of the corner of my eye just looking at me. What am I supposed to do? Continue looking at the TV like I don't see him, or start fighting with him again over my wallet? At this point, I'm so confused. So I just grab the wallet and start pulling as hard as I can. He doesn't let go.

He has to have a weakness, something that can let me get the wallet away from him. Anything.

Finally I think of something.

"JERICA!!!! Come here!! I have an idea!!!"

She comes running into the bedroom to see me struggling to get the wallet away from Chad. I stand up and get close to Jerica to whisper in her ear.

"Tickle him, and I'll get the wallet"

So we both get down by him and she starts to tickle him and I finally get it back!

"Yes!" I say as I start running to the living room to hide it in the couch. Here come Jerica and Chad running to the living room to see me sit calmly on the couch with my phone in my hands. "Where is it?" Chad asks

"None of your buisness."

About that time Jerica flops in her lazy boy chair and put her feet up.

"Chad! Come here." Jerica says.

"Why??"

"Because, I want to see if I can bench press you!"

So Chad stands with his back facing her and leans back on her feet and she starts pumping her legs.

"Cassidy, come here, I want to see if I can bench press you both." Jerica says.

I walk over and just look at Chad.

"How exactly is this gonna work?" I ask in confusion.

"Well let me see your hands." Chad says as he interlocks his hands in mine and has me stand on his toes.

There we are. Just looking at each other in the eyes and I'm just wondering, could this be it? Be the guy I have been waiting for??
