the sound of my alarm clock rung in my ears as my eyes sprung open and i was suddenly emerged into the real world again. i love sleeping, it's my favorite thing to do. and dreaming, dreaming helps
me escape from the real world. anything is possible in my dreams. i wish i could go back to sleep and dream something amazing because today is valentine's day. i hate valentine's day, it reminds every single person that they have no significant other to love them back. i am that single person.
i make it to school on time, still groggy. i have my hair down naturally and im wearing a green cardigan and nice blue jeans. i refuse to dress up in pink and red for a holiday i'm not even celebrating.
"hey, y/n!" my best friend sammy approaches me happily. she's holding a little teddy bear with a box of chocolates attached to it. sammy is happy because she has a sweet boyfriend who loves her. and he gave her chocolates and a stuffed animal. it makes me wanna gag.
"hi, that's cute," i gesture toward the teddy bear.
"aw thanks! isn't it so sweet of brad to do something like this for me?" she asks, not really looking for a response because she already knows the answer to her statement. "i mean, he's just so sweet!"
"yeah! it's really nice of him to do something like that," i nod. she continues talking to me about how brad has planned to take her on a special "surprise" date tonight. she says she got brad a new cologne or something that he's been wanting for a while.
once we get to sammy's locker she gasps and clamps her hand on her mouth. i peer inside her locker to see a bouquet of flowers and a small black box. wow, i really wish i was doing anything other than watching my best friend get showered with gifts from her amazing boyfriend. it's not that i'm not happy for her, i am, i'm just jealous i guess. i mean, what single person would want to watch a happy couple be in love. not me.
last night i dreamt that jason bateman surprised me with a bouquet of flowers at my locker and a box of chocolates. i wish he would, jason is so cute and sweet. i'm friends with him, but i'm always so weird around him because i like him. and that ruins every conversation or interaction between us. he's just so cool and laid back. and i don't think he feels the same way about me.
after about 5 minutes of sammy gushing over the "beautiful necklace" that brad gave her, i tell her i'm going to first period because i don't want to be late. she doesn't seem to care so i hurry quickly. on my way i look around for jason, who i normally run into. i spot him with a group of his friends, walking down the hallway towards me.
"hey y/n," steve says, bringing the whole groups attention towards me.
"hi," i smile, examine jason's beautiful blue eyes and cute smile.
"hi, y/n." jason says, locking eyes with me for just a second. and just like that, my day has gotten 10 times better.
all throughout the day, a very very small part of
me expects jason to surprise me with a box of chocolates. but by 3 o'clock i just feel like curling up in my bed and taking a huge nap. and crying a little too.
as i'm making my way to the bus loop out back, i spot jason from a mile away, talking with his friends by the flag pole. we make eye contact and he starts making his way towards me. okay, time for a friendly chat with the love of my life.
"hey," he breathes once he gets close enough to me. "how's your day been?"
"it's been fine, valentine's day sucks." i whine, hoping he'll find sympathy for me.
"yeah, it kinda does," he agrees, tilting his head and smirking a little. "can i walk you to your bus?" my face feels hot, but i agree and let him lead the way.
"i'll see you tomorrow then." i say as we stop in front of the bus i'm supposed to get on.
"yeah, see you," he smiles as i make my way up the steps. "wait, y/n" i turn around to face him again.
"yep?" i ask, a bit tiredly. all i can think of is the softness of my bed sheets and cotton pillow case.
"i wanted to give this to you," jason says, as he pulls out a box of chocolate and a cute little card with all the care bears on it. oh my god. my heart speeds up, i can't believe this. he got this all just for me. he feels the same way. he really does. he thought of me.
"oh my god." i gasp, taking the presents from his hands. "this is so sweet of you!" i open the card and read it.
happy valentine's day to the most amazing girl i know.
love,
jason
i loose all senses and wrap him in huge hug, and i feel his arms wrap around me too.
"thank you!" i exclaim as we both pull away.
"yeah, of course. i was scared you were gonna turn me down." he laughs nervously.
"what?! of course not!" i smile.
"great, haha, well i'll call you tonight. we could plan for a date." he gazes at me.
"yes, definitely." i nod. a date.
