When I got home from school, all I wanted to do was to text Monique, but I didn't want to seem thirsty and desperate, so I just did my homework, from my classes which just consisted of get to know you papers.

After I finished that I went on my laptop and searched for colleges, cause this is my last year in high school. After searching through hundreds of colleges, I had narrowed it down to three. Towson University, University of Maryland, and Stevenson University.

I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to do in college, but I want to go into the business and finances and maybe own a business some day after college. I checked the time and it was 5:27. I thought this seems like a good time to text Monique. So, I did.

Rick-hey

Nique- hey

Rick-you wanna meet up so we can start this project

Nique- uhh, yea sure, where you wanna go

Rick- I'll pick you up, you just be ready okay?

Nique- okay, but there's a fault in your plan

Rick- and what is that exactly?

Nique- hmm, let me see, you don't know where I live, lol

Rick- your right, haha, send me your address and I'll head right over

She sent me her address and I grabbed my stuff, and was on my way to her house. Her house wasn't too far from mine. It was about ten minutes away. I would've texted her to tell her I'm outside, but decided against it and knocked on the red door of the red and brown bricked house.

I waited patiently and anxiously. I looked around the porch until I heard footsteps then directed my attention to the door.

The door opened a few minutes later and there she was, looking beautiful in her jeans and shirt. Not too many girls can pull it off and look as good as if she were in a dress. "DERRICK!"
I finally snapped out of my thoughts "yea,"

"Are we gonna go work on this project, or are you just gonna stare at me all night?" She said jokingly with a cute chuckle at the end

"Yea," I replied with a laugh " let's go"

"I'll race ya"

"Okay, I bet I can beat you, if I win I get to take you out on a date"

"Ared, if I win, you have to do my homework for a month"

" okay, deal" I held out my hand for her to shake. She shook my hand, and they were so soft.

"On you mark, get set, go"

We both sped to my car. She was in the lead because I let her, but I used my long legs, and took home the win. "Looks like I'll be taking you out soon" I said as I grinned widely.

"Whatever, just open the door" she said with her arms crossed over her chest and a pout on her face.

After being at the library for a mere hour, we finally finished our project. I took her home and made sure she got in safe. Then, went home, ate dinner which was chicken Alfredo. I, then spent hours just thinking about Monique until I eventually dozed off.
