The noise of kids in the hall gossiping was just unbearable. I woke up with a major headache
this morning and the best part is I can't even remember what happened over the weekend. Of course my friend Shavika is not much of a help when it comes to headaches. To be honest, she makes it worst.
"Hi, Sarah. So, how was it?" she said in her annoying high pitch voice. What was she even talking
about.She must have seen the confusion on my face, because it was like two seconds after she said,"You know the day with Christian. I always said he was perfect for you. I mean come on, who doesn't want a guy that's latino and ..." she just kept rambling on about Christian. What day is she even talking about. The last time I saw him was when he dropped me home on Friday and gave me that sexy smile that I just couldn't resist.
"Hey, are you even listening to me?" I shake my head in disapproval. I just wish he were here,
everytime I see him my stomach just bursts out in this crazy wierd ticklish feeling. It's what
Shavika calls butterflies, I supposedly get it when I see someone I like.
"I said I have a science test today. That means you have one to. Hey, are you ok, you seem a bit off?"she asked me confused. At least there was something similar about us, we are almost always confused.I turned to her and nodded hoping that maybe she would believe me and hop away to scare someone else.
Then I felt it, that warm tingly feeling in the lower part of my stomach, the one I usually get
when he is around. I swear if I told anyone about that feeling in my lower stomach they would either
think I'm high or I'm pregnant. I don't know which one I'd prefer. I slowly walk to my next class
hoping that if he was close by, that he would catch up to me and take me away from this insane place.
As my pace began to slow more people started bumping into me, none of them Christian. The people I noticed said hi to me, but I disregarded thier acknowledgement. I only wanted Christian, and not because I'm desperate, but because I'm...
"Hey, Sarah I'll see you next period.K. Try to study a bit, eh." She finally left. Wow!
SHIT, I just realized I have science test. SHIT, I didn't study! I will have to study in english.
..................
English class passed so quickly, like the wind just blew the minute hand all the way around
the clock in less than three seconds. I barely had time to study and science is already one of my lowest classes. Great another test flunked and another knotch down from my dream scale to move schools with Christian. I caught up with Revathi for lunch to finish up some homework. It's odd Revathi is one of my best friends, but I just can't get over the idea that maybe we are not meant to be friends. Maybe I'm not meant to be anyone's friend. It's not that I feel like I'm to good for everyone. I just feel as if I don't belong here. The only time I ever feel like I belong is when I'm with Christian, but that doesn't count.
The noise in the library is unbelievable, I still can't believe this is a library. Everyone talks like they belong in a zoo. A zoo of books. Uhhh.
"Sarah, I need to go and print my summary for english. Here, take the sheet I'll meet up with
you in the usual spot" She smiled in her nervous grin. that usually menat she was afraid I would flip
out on her. Not today, I'm just not in the mood. I shake my head encouragingly.
"Thanks so much. I definetly owe you for this." I don't need everyone knowing, that I
desperatly need Christian to hold on to, to talk to.
I make my way over, waddling to our usual spot which was just the corner in the back of the
library. It kept us secluded from the rest of the library, and kinda minimized the sound level.I made my way through the bookshelves looking down at the answer sheet I was about to copy. When I looked up, I found my eyes staring right into the pupils of familiar face. I was engulfed in his dark intimdating eyes. My whole body jumped up and down, pushing me to fall into his muscular arms.
"Hi, Sarah. How was your weekend?" He asked, his soft light pink lips tightening into a grin,
that is irresistable.
"Fine, what are you doing here?" What a stupid question. I regret it the moment it came out.
His face seemed to turn from that friendly loving Christian, to the confused 'I don't know how to answer that' Christian.
"I didn't mean it like that-"
"I know what you meant. I just thought you needed a brake from everything, but i should let you
finish your work first." He started to get up, obviously ready to leave. He put his hand behind his back as if he was hiding something. Than came closer to me. I reamined where I was. This couldn't have been happening, this is what I wanted wasn't it? All morning yearning for the moment when I had the chance to wrap myself in his warm body, feel his cool breath against my hair. So, why am I pushing him away?
"You can stay. It's fine. I'm just copying anyways, I really don't have to think for copying down
words. So your not that much of a distraction." My whole body relaxed, when I saw his face light up. It was like a child opening their first present on Christmas day.
He sat down. pulling me down with him. He placed me in his lap and wrapped his arms around me, just like I been waiting for. This was perfect, it was better than perfect, it was eternal.
