Borderline again

 

            Hey it’s Maggie it’s my turn to tell you what happened to my day well it started with Jalem asking me to teach him how to shoot arrows I said yes, so after eating the steak we went to the forest at the back of the city. When we reached the forest, we set up our equipments including the targets. While I was putting up a target Jalem suddenly tickled me and ran, I was surprised so I dropped the target and ran after him, I cannot get a hold of him because he is too fast for me, so I stopped because I was already exhausted after running for more than 5 minutes, he then went back, to see if I was okay, I went for my revenge and tickled him and he fell to the ground and I continued to tickle him, and after a while he said I give up, so we stood up and went back to the makeshift target range, I tried first and it was all bull’s-eye, he was totally amazed, so I said  “let’s see your skills Jalem” , so he tried there were 5 targets, he shot one inside the target, another at a tree, the next didn’t even made it , the fourth took off into the wood but the last hit the bull’s - eye, I saw that happy look on his eyes, so I said “congratulations you hit 2 out of 5 that’s something for a beginner”, he smiled and said “ wow thanks for the compliment”, I said “ come on  I’ll teach you the right stance”, so I held his hands and put him in the right stance and I can feel that I’m reddening, I have liked Jalem since I started going to the school, then I said “okay now look at the target and make sure the arrow is pointing not straight at it but about 5 cm above it, okay, now let go”, once he let go of the string, the arrow went straight to the bull’s eye, on the next target I still held his hands, and it went to the BE (bull’s eye) again, the next one he was all alone, once he let go of the string it missed the BE but it was inside the target, on the next it was BE and also the last, he was so happy he hugged me and kissed me in the cheeks saying thank you so much, I know to myself that I’m blushing because my crush was hugging and kissing me, so I said “ okay stop already to thank me you have to bring me to a restaurant”, “okay follow me I heard there was a great Chinese restaurant in he city” he said , so I said “ okay come on let’s go I’m already hungry”, so we went to the Chinese restaurant and there we saw Lheanne ordering some take out when I almost slipped  so I held Jalem’s hand she saw us she said “ ow you 2 are on a date huh”, then she went out holding her take out, I followed her and said “it’s not what you think”, “ okay but I saw what I saw” she smiled then ran so I didn’t get to say something I just went back to the restaurant still a bit embarrassed, because I know that Jalem likes this other girl for our school, when I entered he was already sitting in one of the tables I sat down next to him and asked him if already ordered food, he said not yet so we called a waiter and he asked us “what could I get you 2 lovebirds?”, I felt more embarrassed because of what the waiter said and, we gave our orders and he said “ what did you say to her? ”, I said “ that it not what she thinks”, I saw him become a bit disappointed and he said “ we should have just gone with her flow? ” and he smiled , I smiled back to him, then our food came, We ate without talking, then we went home once we got home, when we reached home Lheanne had already spread the gossip around the group, so when we entered the room they were all smiling weirdly, Jalem told me to sell it, so he held my hands then hugged me and kissed my cheeks, they were all surprised, we sat down on the floor still close to each other he still holding me then I looked at Sparta his eyes was so big it made me laugh, Sparta knew my secret liking for Jalem that is why he looked that way, then when the day was over I talked with Jalem and said  “hey Jalem, do you think they believed it?” , “ of course who wouldn’t believe our acting , you were even blushing like it was real”, I was surprised because he noticed it, I just said “well, as you know I’m a great actress” then we laughed, the I asked him “ do you miss her?”, “who? Sandra?” he asked, “yes” I answered, He said “ no, because I know that I have you”, I felt myself blush but then he said “Seriously, I do but I don’t need to worry about her she is safe because she is in the school and there won’t be games until next year, I’m sure that we will be back before that day comes” , what he said hurt me a bit then he said “What about you are you missing someone”, I said “no, because I’m pretty sure he is always with me” then I looked at him he then said “ oh “ then there was a moment of silence then I decided to kiss him in the cheeks and go to my bed and sleep but he followed me and said “ can I sleep next to you my place gets cold at night “ I said yes , then he went to get his pillow and blanket and laid in front of me he then kissed my cheeks and said “ you did not give me time to give back the kiss” then I said “ Jalem can I be honest with you?”, he nodded , then I said “ Jalem, I like you very much , I just needed to say that”, he said “ I like you too” I said “seriously? What about Sandra” , he then answered “ Seriously I started to feel myself fall for you every day since I saved you, and know I think I have really fallen” then our face got near to each other and we kissed in the lips we didn’t no move but we kissed. Well that’s my love story with Jalem, till next time, again this is Maggie bye bye.
