A Love Journey

Chapter 4

Halloween was coming around the corner and I knew that I wanted Casey to be my partner. So I talked with Casey during lunch and he said he would love to. A few weeks have passed since I met Casey and he seems more comfortable with me. He always expresses his crazy side to me and he always teases me a lot. I do a lot of things towards him, I tease him a lot too and I tell him lots of jokes. I haven’t told him about Lance yet and I don’t think I should. I’ve been over to Casey’s house many times and I forgot to mention, he’s a country boy. A soccer loving country boy from New Jersey. You gotta love that! He also plays the piano for me in any way he can, he plays so beautifully. I played the violin for him as well. He loves the way I play those strings. I’ve also gone to some soccer games and watched him play. He is really good! Makes me wonder why I was never an athlete. His dad is really nice as well. His name is Doug Wilson. He is an excellent guy. Casey has met my parents, but my parents don’t approve of him because he is white. Yeah, my parents are a bit racist but it’s only because Casey is not a very smart  and plus, I’m not even dating him...yet. But my parents always assume that if I bring a boy home, I’m dating him! I always apologize to him when they are rude, but he doesn’t mind. When he was living in New Jersey, there were always racial slurs against Asians and African Americans. I’m glad that he is not one of those kinds of people and if he was, I don’t think he would be hanging out with me. When we told our teacher that we were going to be partners, I was so excited to be working with him. I might ask him out. We both decided on working with an atom model. Like we were going to build one. It is going to be so amazing! Once we figured out what we were working on, I grabbed supplies and went back to our desk. Casey then handed me a paper saying, “This is my number, whenever you wanted to come over and help work on the project” he told me and handed me the paper. I quickly took my phone out and plugged his number in. I then sent him a practice text and he got the message. He smiled as he put my name in his contact. When school was over for the day I decided to text him:

Me: So when do you want to start the project?

Casey: Maybe tomorrow, I have lots of stuff to work on.

Me: Alright, is it okay if I start with an idea?

Casey: Fine with me, just don’t do anything else.

Me: Roger that! Lol

When I got home, I decided to think of an idea for the project. Once I did that I sat in my bed all evening just looking at his name in my contact information and imagining being with him. I kept blushing every time I looked at his name. I felt so in love that nothing else mattered. Just an Asian girl falling in love with a Caucasian boy. What can possibly go wrong?
