That Night

Chapter 3

   I awoke in my bed and analyzed what "happened" last night. Maybe it was all a dream. Well, a nightmare! I walk to my kitchen  and there was a note on the refridge: You left your sandwhich meat and mustard out. I put it in the fridge for you so it wouldn't go bad. Have a good day. See ya soon. Love, Your Future. What in the world? So it wasn't a dream! Oh my gosh! I have a stalker!! I sat down on my couch. What am I gonna do? I checked the clock and it was time for me to get ready for school. Ugh! I ran to my room and got ready. I grabbed my backpack, my phone and house keys and walked out. I decided to take the bus. I got on the bus and sat down.

   We stopped at another stop and this guy got on, he looks familiar.

   "My I sit here?" He asked. I was a little cautious, but I said okay. And plus, he was kind of cute.

   "So where you headed?" I asked.

   "I'm going to USC, You?" He asked me.

        "I'm going the same place." I said excitedly, but then remembered all the things that occurred last night. I soon got nervous and tried not to look or talk to him, but there was a part of me that wanted to talk to him, the lust part of me. He was just to darn cute to be a stalker. I decided to spark conversation.

        "So what are you studying?" I asked him, maybe he was studying the same thing I was.

        "I am studying Performing Arts/Visual Arts." He respnded smiling.

        "That's right! I've seen you in some of my classes! David, am I right?"

        "Close! It's Darius...Nice try though." He was lauging. My face got warm, I was embarrased. This handsome piece of chocolate is sitting next to me and I got his name wrong! 

        "I am soo sorry, Darius!" He started laughing again.

        "No problem, beautiful." I started to look around me and out the window.

        "Me? Are you talking to me?" I jokingly asked. 

        "Yea, you. The gorgeous one with the beautiful smile, the nice brown eyes, girl, I aint trynna tell you no lies," I started blushing. I put my head down, but he picked it up, "Don't put your head down, keep it up high." I just couldn't stop smiling.

        "Thank You...and that freestyle was really good! You write poetry?" I asked.

        "Yea, a little here and there. But nothing serious," He said shrugging, "I can let you hold my notebook if you want." I nodded.

        "Here, you can hold mine." I reached into my backpack and grabbed my notebook and gave it too him. I sat and read his poems. I started off by flipping threw the book. I noticed one isolated from the others, and I read it. It seemed  like he was in a trance by a girl. I kept reading it over and over again.

        I'm hypnotized

        By those big brown eyes

        The way your hair falls down

        Sweetheart the only thing missing is your crown

        You're just so beautiful

        You stop everyone in their tracks

        As usual

        That's why im so in love with you

        "Who did you write this poem about?" He looked over and realized which one I was reading and he started to stutter.

        "A-a-a-a its about a a-um a girl." He said rubbing the back of his head.

        "I know that! But who is she?" I said smiling at how this girl has him.

        "She's a-she's uuhhh sitting next to me?" I sat there and analyzed what he said. Was he talking about me?

        "Are you talking about Naomi in our class?" Ugh, Naomi. Everyone likes her and wants to be her. I'm not hating, I'm just saying.

        "No," by now he was laughing, "It's you." I started to smile. Was he really paying attention to me? I stopped smiling and started to frown. 

        "Why the long face?" He asked me getting worried.

        "Well, it's just that-"

        "Am I being to weird, ooommmyygoosshhhh, i'm sooo sorry!" He said getting ready to leave the seat. I quickly grabbed his arm.

        "Wait don't go-ooooo." focus Althea don't get distracted by his muscles; he sat back down. I looked him in the eye. I couldn't stop staring.

        "Heeelllllooooo!" He said waving his hand infront of his face. I realized I was still grabbing onto his arm. I started to blush.

        "O, now im the one making you feel weird." He started to laugh. Everything about him could just put you in a trance. Soon it was time for us to get off the bus. He got out the seat and let me out and let me walk off first. He soon followed me. We had the first class together. Me and him was just walking and soon someone came and bumped into me and my books fell.
