|New Jersey Cutie|

  He had just finished helping a fragile old lady pick up her groceries when my eyes met his. He had fluffy hair that framed his face just right. He had baby brown eyes, the kind you could get lost in. His smile was the smile that could light up the darkest hours. He was more than my type.

  Stop it Lily, I thought, remember what Dad said. Before my father passed, he told me to set myself up for success before getting involved with boys and drama. I never really listened to him until he was gone. I knew I couldn't think of the boy in a romantic way. No boys until senior year, I thought.

  He walked over to me with the cool guy attitude. "Hey, You new here?," he said with his prominent New Jersey accent. He offered to carry boxes to the apartment and make us some dinner with his mom. Instead of being somewhat nice, I rolled my eyes, went inside, and shut the door on him.

  I needed to do what Dad would want me to do. Yes I'm being stubborn. Do I care? No. Dad would be proud. No boys until senior year.

  Looking out the peep hole to make sure he was gone, I saw him kick a brick on the stoop and walk away when his name was called.

his name is Daniel.
and I'll have to see him at school tomorrow...
