When I Met You

Being with Him.

Waking up for school was the hardest part of my day. Then walking to the bus stop was even more challenging. There he was, Chad... God.

Sitting at the school in the gym for breakfast.. Getting ready to head for class and I see some kid, I thought he would be a good friend, but I said nothing. Just walked.

As I'm sitting in the class room, all I can think about, is Chad.. I couldn't focus on anything but him.

"Last night was crazy, and I think it meant something. I'm just gonna test the water and leave it alone" I thought to myself.

"Cassidy right?"

A strange tall kid asked me.

"Yeah, that's me. Who's asking?"

"Oh. I'm Jacob Devore."

"Cool." I replied and automatically put my head down. People aren't my thing.. I don't like new people, I don't like people at all. Except for... Chad.

The day went by really slow, but I was glad to be on the bus and heading back to Jerica's.

'Ding!'

My phone went off and I have a Facebook friends request from Josh Taylor. I get to looking threw his pictures and realize that this was the kid that I saw in the hall that I thought would be a good friend. So of course,

I hit accept.

"Chad's coming over, you don't care do you?"

"Yea, that's fine." I said in a really low voice.

*5 minutes later*

"I'm here!" Chad yells as he comes into the house.

We lounge around for a while then get stuck with babysitting a girl named Hope. She was 7 so she was pretty easy.

"I'm doing squats with Winnie the Pooh!"

Jerica, Chad and I just start cracking up laughing.

"Squat!" Hope screams.

"That's our new inside joke." Chad says while laughing.

We sit around the living room bored.. Then hope comes up with a great idea.

"Let's play Truth or Dare, Cassidy you first."

"Ok, Hope, Truth or Dare?"

"Dare."

"Okay, I dare you to eat this whole thing of koolaid."

Reminding you, this girl is 7 and this koolaid packet has a lot of sugar in it.

She starts to eat it then finishes it.

"Chad, truth or dare?" Hope asks him while glaring at him.

"Uhh, dare." He responds.

"I dare you to go sit in the kitchen."

Chad walks up and moves to the kitchen and sits on the floor.

"Cassidy, truth or dare." Chad asks while staring right at me.

"Dare.." I said with a unsure voice.

"I dare you to come sit in the kitchen with me."

That's not at all what I thought was going to come out of his mouth.. I thought he was gonna tell me to lick the floor or something. I don't know this guy very well and I'm just letting him dare me to do things.. But it's ok, because he's cute.

"Jerica, truth or dare?" I asked while walking to the kitchen.

"Dare." She replies.

"I dare you too come sit on the kitchen floor with us."

I didn't want to be sitting in there alone with him. Anything could happen.

"I'm gonna lay down and go to sleep." Hope says randomly.

"Okay." We all say.

She lays a pillow on the floor and tries to go to sleep.

*5 minutes later*

(Crying historically)

"I can't sleep because you made me eat that koolaid packet." Hope says while crying and screaming at me.

Jerica, Chad and I just start laughing so hard. Tonight is going to be a crazy night..

Hopes parents come to pick her up.

"Was she good?"

"Yeah she was. She might not sleep because Cassidy dared her to eat a whole koolaid packet." Jerica says while trying to fight back laughing.

"Oh she'll sleep, it'll be fine. Glad you guys had fun!" She said in her way out the door.

Fuck! My phone just died. I was texting Chad... The conversation was getting good too, I was just about to ask him if he liked me, then Chad had an idea...

"Let's just write it in a notebook?"

"Yea, we can do that.." I replied nervously.

Chad goes an grabs a notebook and comes back with two pens. And hands one to me.

"Do you like me?" I write in really pretty writing.

"Well yea, your pretty cool." He writes back.

"I meant like.. More then a friend?"

"I mean, I'd have too think about it but..  do you like me?"

Did he really just ask me that? Play it cool, I mean he's pretty cool about it..

"Yeah, your pretty cool..  (:" I responded.

*CHAD'S POV*

We're sitting on the couch writing in a notebook about this... I hope she likes me too. I don't want to seem weird. Oh God, she's handing me the notebook...

I must have read what she said atleast 20 times before I could think of a way to respond. I finally handed back the notebook, and what I said was pretty clear..

"I meant, more than a friend."

When I said that she gave me this look,  with those beautiful big brown eyes that are impossible to even look into with out falling in love. So I shyly hide my face. 

And she responds with...

"Yeah, I think I do."

When I read that, I literally had this feeling that I have never felt before. Just knowing she likes me, makes me feel great.. and I just knew I had to be with her. She's the girl.. maybe she's even the one that could make me happy for a very long time.
