Diruto Academy

Allen's PoV

Well as far as I'm concerned that was the best night ever. But Alice and Rechelle seem kind of off, I mean why did Rechelle come in the first place?

Anyway so we got to the movie theater and the movie started. I noticed the others didn't sit by us. "Good." I thought to myself. After the first fifteen minutes I thought to myself, "I'm just going to watch it a bazillion times over the summer anyway."

Then I say it. "Hey Jess? Want to skip out on the movie and sit outside? I want to talk with you." She looks as nervous as I feel but she agrees.

She's so pretty, but I don't think she considers herself that way. Not that she thinks she's ugly, but she doesn't really care how she looks, and that's what I love about her. She's not afraid to get dirty, and tomboyish, but she still has a girly side to her. Ugh I can't even begin to explain how much I like her.

Anyway we try to sneak out without the others seeing us, which I think works.

"So what did you want to say to me?" She asks. Acck! My brain goes blank. Play it cool play it cool I try to reassure myself. "Why don't we walk around the outside of the movie theater for a while." I say. Good good, the cool air will help you.

And cold it is. The sun has gone down, but you can see from the light of the large, full moon. "Well, I don't know how to say this." I say aloud. CRAP CRAP! THATS NOT COOL! PANIC MODE!! "Just start from the beginning." She says. Good idea I think.

"Well, you remember that day we first met? First day of middle school, first day of the middle school/ highschool campus? I had been going to the elementary campus since 4th grade, you had just recently transferred in. I will never forget that day. It was like even though I wasn't even a teen yet, I thought I had found love. You were beautiful and my head had clouded over. I said 'hi my name is ..bob..' And you called me bob for half the school year?" crap why is that important? That's super embarrassing!!

But she's smiling so I continue. "Sorry that didn't make sense. Anyway what I'm trying to say is, I like you, a lot, and I couldn't imagine growing old without you by my side." Dang I still don't really have my point to this yet.

She leans up and kisses me on the cheek. I blush but then wrap my arms around her and dip her into a full kiss.

All of a sudden time stops, and I'm just there, in the moment. Not paying any attention to anything or anyone, except her.

Even though it seems like eons it wasn't that long and when she pulls away she embraces me. She smells so sweet.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" I ask her. She suddenly pulls away frightened and confused. Crud, way to fast. She gulps and says, "I want to wait until I'm at least 15." Uh oh, I understand. "So a little less than a year?" I ask. "Yes."

She was born on November 3rd. I however was one month older than her.

I kiss her on the cheek and she gives me one last kiss. The last kiss for a year. I silently sigh. She smiles and takes my hand.

We walk in and finish watching the movie. I don't really pay attention, all I could think about was holding her in my arms, and wanting to run away to get married and live in a small cabin together for the rest of our lives. Raising our children and content with life.

Before I know it I've daydreamed the movie away and Jess tugs for me to get up.

We walk home and all I can still think about is her. I'm silent.

We let the girls through our window and say goodnight to them, and watch them rush up to their rooms. "So what happened between you and Jess?" Timothy immediately asks.

Everyone says Alice and Timothy are close but we are really close too. "You have to promise to not tell Alice." I say. He gives me this look that tells me he will probably just tell her anyway. "Fine you can tell her, but no one else! And you have to promise to not let her tell anyone else either." I say. He nods.

We are momentarily interrupted by mr. Waltson. Muttering to us, "I could be playing Minecraft right now."

"I kissed her." I blurt out after mr. Waltson leaves. He just stares at me wide eyed. "Hmm, okay." He says. So I tell him the whole story.

He just smirks at me, now I know why people think Alice and him are close, that smirk is like a mirror image of Alice's they spend too much time bugging eachother.

"Any advice?" I ask. "You just have to wait." He said.

But I couldn't wait.
