Dreams Can Come True

Chapter 1: He finally Noticed Me!

~Emilie's POV~
I was in first period listening to the Teacher, Mr. Witt ramble on about....I actually don't know what he is rambling on about. I was to busy doodling in my American Study Journal, when suddenly, the intercom lady started calling down students into the Gymnasium for the Marten Luther King March that we have every year in celebration of MLK Day.

When I got down to the Gym, I found a spot in the bleachers near my friends. Soon enough, the Principle, Mr. Mareeno, started talking about Martin Luther King Jr. Then people started giving speeches about him. I was too busy staring at Xander over in the corner holding a sign for our march. I was then pulled out of my thoughts by Mr. Mareeno.

Everyone suddenly was full of energy and life as the were jumping down the bleachers following Xander and Maddy. Ugh Maddy. She's so pretty! I can't compete with her. Xander will never see me with Maddy around shes so lucky to have a guy like him. Literally. He doesn't even know that I exist. I sigh as we are nearing our Destination for our " Rally." I stand off to the side behind Xander and Maddy and watch then from the corner of my eye while talking to my friend Zoey Castello.

As the rally started, the honor choir performed " Man in the Mirror " by Michael Jackson.
He turned around, mouthing the lyrics and smiled while looking right at me. My heart fluttered as I stared at him with hope sparking inside me. He turned around and put his arm around Maddy hugging her close.

I looked away with tears pricking the back of my eyes. I try to focus on the rally instead of them. It was hard work though because they were standing right in front of me. But I stayed content.

~LE TIME SKIP~

I walked into my house and into my room. I threw my backpack in my closet. I climbed up onto the top bunk of my bed. I laid on my stomach scrolling through Ifunny lightly laughing at each photo. A lightbulb went off in my head. I quickly exited Ifunny and clicked on the Instagram icon on my phone. I scrolled down through my news feed and stopped at Xander's photos to screenshot them. I saved them to my secret locker photo app. I fell asleep thinking of Xander.

' I snuggled into his chest inhaling his manly cologne. He smelt so incredible! He wrapped his arms around my waist and hugged me tight. I melted into his embrace." I love you Emilie..."'
