    "What?" He slurrs. He looks confused, my favorite look of his. I bite my lip and smile.
    "Oh, nothing. All will make sense in due time." His face slowly clears up, leaving a tired look on his face. "Aww man." I sigh.
"What?" He asks.
"I like it when you look confused, it's cute" he blushes and tries to make an exaggerated confused look. I laugh and ask, "So, what do you think of this whole hypnosis thing?"
    "Well.." he stumbles, I can tell he is struggling to stay awake, "I think it's interesting."
"Would you like to try more?"
    "Umm, sure.. if I can stay awake." He mumbles, slumping into his seat more.
    "Alright." I can't believe this whole thing actually might work out! I start singing a lullaby and soon, he starts to nod off. In a matter of minutes, he is snoring. "Okay, slowly wake up, feeling refreshed. You can move your arms and legs now, you can even stand up."
    He awakens looking very concentrated. He stands up and starts to stretch.
     "That was... surprisingly nice." He exclaims. I smile and walk towards him.
    "Now, we aren't done yet" he nods mechanically, his eyes glazing over. "You won't remember me saying this, but you will text me tomorrow. You want to hang out with me. In your spare time you will think of me, of seeing me." Then his eyes turn back to normal and he stares at me.
    "Bye, Ethan. Hope to see you soon." I say and walk up to hug him. He happily hugs me back and smiles. "Let's just keep this our little secret, right?" He nods and starts to walk back home.
     As I walk inside of my house, I am overwhelmed by excitement. It actually worked!! This will be easier than I thought.
Ethan's POV
I walk home thinking about Sarah. I can't believe she hypnotized me! It was actually really nice, I can't wait to see her again. Maybe I should text her tomorrow so we can hang out.  
    As I walk into my house, my mom yells at me for leaving with no notice. I'm not really listening though, all I can think about is.. Sarah. How strange! I've never been too interested in her. I mean, we've always been mutual friends but we've never been too close.
    "Are you even listening to me?!" My mom yells, interrupting my thoughts.
    "Yeah.."
"You can't do this anymore!
You're grounded for a week!!" Then I listened.
"What?! No mom you can't!" Then an idea comes to me. "I have sports tryouts tomorrow after school!" My moms face lit up. She always wanted me to do sports but I was never interested.
"In the middle of the year?" She says skeptically.
"Uh, yeah! Basketball tryouts are in the winter! Unless you want me to miss them!" She quickly started shaking her head no. "Okay then, see you after school tomorrow!" I say as I run up to my room. I lay in there to think about spending more time with Sarah.
Your POV
I can't wait to see Ethan tomorrow! I will have to change quickly after school so I can wait for his text. I should have told him when to text me but whatever.
I spend the rest of the day watching tv and go to bed early, eager for the day tomorrow.
