DAWN (EDITING)

Chapter 19

" Hey sit here baby, I have to talk to you real quick" Angelo grabs my arm and guides me to a park bench surrounded with lit candles and flower petals. " These last couple of days have been perfect with you and I like you a lot" he says while gazing into my eyes. " We make each other happy and it drives me crazy thinking of you smiling and staring at someone the same way you look at me" Angelo tightens the grip on my hand. His eyes are glossy and red as he says " I know I'm rambling and shit but I did all this just to ask you will you be my girlfriend" He questions as he reaches for his back pocket. He pulls out a long suede box and opens it.

A promise necklace, my eyes widen as I cover my mouth. I didn't realize I was crying until I felt the dampness of my cheek. " Oh my god yes, yes" I scream and jump into his arms. " This is the start of our future together" Angelo stares at me as he grabs onto my face. He inches towards me and ask " Can I kiss you" I nod my head as fast as possible. Our noses start to touch, as the gap is starting to close "DAWN". I turn and see Demetrius.

I shot up out of my bed onto the floor. " damn it" I shriek. "What the hell, why am I dreaming about demetrius and angelo" I think as I peel myself off the floor. I shake my head and check the time, 6 AM, I might as well start getting ready for school. As I shower my mind wonders back to my dream. Do I angelo, Does he like me, Why was I so frighten when I saw demetrius and why does it feels like I've betrayed him. I finally finish my shower and began to put on my clothes. When I finish I head down the stairs to find something to eat.

The doorbell rings and I run to get it, to my surprise there was no one there. I close the door and began to walk to the kitchen, the bell rings again. " It better not be that bad ass little boy from next door" I open the door, again no one. I stand by the door in case it happens again. I look threw the peephole and see brad slowly crawling up to the doorbell giggling. I smile and swing the door open " gotcha" I scream and almost flew off the porch. " Dang dawn, almost gave me a heart attack" He says while clutching onto his chest. " That's what you get for playing, I checked the door twice because you want to be childish" I glare at him.

"It wasn't me the first time, I swear It probably that bad ass kid that lives beside you, he ding dong ditched my house 6 times before I caught his bad ass" brad and I cackled at his story as the doorbell rings for the 4th time this morning. We stare at each other and back at the door. " Don't open the door yet, let me take off my belt for his little ass" the doorbell rings again and at this time I'm irritated. I swing the door open and scream " Stop ringing my fucking doorbell, It's 6:30 in the morning. Why the hel--" "That's how you greet guest" I open my eyes and look up and stare directly into Mr. Carters eyes and he raises his eyebrow. I break eye contact and look at brad who is dying of laughter.

" Um I'm so s-sorry sir I didn't mean-" "It's okay but don't let it happen again" Mr. Carter. I nod while I put my head down. I deeply sigh and look back up and stare back into his eyes " I'm seriously sorry" I express how regretful I was and he smiles and says " It's fine I promise but come on I'm driving you to school this morning" I look confused " but sir-"" No buts let's go, you too son" He says walking off the porch and back to his car. What a way to start the morning.
