Leap of Fate

Ella Sawyer, a 17 year old girl from Boston, Massachusetts who was preparing for the trip of a lifetime that was about to start in just under 20 minutes. She was waiting at the terminal at the airport with her friends Victoria, Elizabeth and Kaitlyn, her teacher was doing one last final head count before they headed off on the plane to Europe for almost 2 weeks. Just has Ella raised her hand to let the teacher know she was here, she heard her name being called. It was a lower voice and seemed breathy; “Ella! Ella, wait! Don’t get on the plane yet!” finally the body caught up with the voice and it was Ella’s crush Matt that she had fallen in love with over the past 6 months. “Matt?” she said, “what are you doing here? You shouldn't be here.” She continued. Matt caught his breath before answering Ella, “I came to see you” he said with a staggered voice, “I found out you were leaving for almost 2 weeks and I didn't want you to leave without telling you something.” he said. ‘What is so important that couldn't have waited 2 weeks?” Ella asked, as she felt her face became beat red. “That I like you, a lot. Like a lot, a lot. Ever since we went to prom together 6 months ago I have been thinking about you a lot more than I did before and I just couldn't hold it in anymore. Ella, I think I love you.” he said coming closer to her face.
