Amazement

"Wait up!" It was after school and Maddie was walking to her bike. Luke's voice sounded behind her, but Maddie didn't stop. "I have to get home," she replied She could hear his footsteps behind her, but that didn't stop her. Instead, she quickened her pace. "Maddie, wait." Maddie turned and faced him. "Why should I? Look, I really need to get home." "But I have a good reason." Luke's voice was playful, almost taunting, as he walked closer to her. Now that he was inches away, Maddie could see that his eyes weren't just plain blue. They had flecks of amber and navy, and they were rimmed green. And he had freckles, adorable little brown freckles scattered across his cheekbones and across the bridge of his perfect nose... "And what's that?" Maddie's voice hitched in her throat. "I need tutoring." "I doubt that. School just started, like, two days ago." Maddie knew that she was being sarcastic and she was exaggerating, but she didn't care. Maddie turned on her heel and once more walked towards her bike. Depositing her books in the basket, she swung one leg over the seat. "So, see you tomorrow at three thirty, at your house? It's a date, then." With that, he turned and walked to his car, leaving a flabbergasted Maddie behind. "I never agreed!" Maddie called after him. But it was too late. She was already choking on the fumes of his black Lexus convertible. ___________________ At 17, Maddie Parker stood at exactly 5'0 and weighed only 97 pounds.
