Chapter 2
"He remembers you!" Jessica shouted. "He thinks you are really cute too."
"Are you serious?!" I was so excited that he remembered me.
"Yea and he wants to talk to you." Jessica said.
"Okay awesome!" I yelled.
The bell rang and I headed off to my 7th period (pre-calculus). That class was actually pretty easy to me. The period seemed to go by pretty fast. When the bell rang, I grabbed my notebook and shoved it in my bookbag and then rushed to the door because if I didn't the hallways would be packed with a whole bunch of kids, it would be like a stampede in the hallways. As I was walking I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and then my heart started beating hard in my chest, it felt like somebody had knocked the breath out of me, and my knees were trembling along with my hands. "Hey." Sal said.
"H-hi." I was so nervous right now. Sal looked very nervous too.
"Um Jessica was talking about you to me and I do remember you from elementary." He was smiling and looking down at the same time.
"Yea I remember we had 2nd grade together." I said smiling and starting to feel more comfortable.
"Yea me too, do you want to hang out with me tomorrow night?" He seemed to struggle to find the words.
"Yea definitely." I was smiling.
"Awesome. Well I guess I will see you tomorrow night around.....6?
"Yea, um where are we going?" I asked.
"It's a surprise." He smiled.
"Oh ok." I hated surprises. "Call me tomorrow."
"Ok, bye."
As I was riding the bus home, I couldn't help but wonder what was going to happen tomorrow night. I couldn't believe that I was going to hang out with Sal. He is so cute and he was in elementary too. After I got home, Jessica came over. I told her everything he said to me and she was very excited for me.
"He even said he doesn't know if he could talk to you because he was so nervous." Jessica said.
"You have no idea how nervous I was, I thought I was going to pee my pants!" I said laughing.
"Well good thing you didn't because he might have been turned off by you." We were both laughing.
"I am soooooo nervous about tomorrow night now. I have no idea where he is taking me." I said. "Do you know?" I looked at her with suspicious eye.
"Actually he wouldn't tell me, so I have no idea." She said.
"Oh, well I really hate surprises because they make me so anxious."
"Yea same here." Jessica said.
Jessica slept over and we woke up to the smell of delicious breakfast. "Here you go girls." My mom said. She made us eggs, bacon, toast, and potatoes. It was so good. Then Jessica and I hung out for a while and then it was night time all of a sudden. She helped me get ready for wherever Sal was taking me. I had on a pair of skinny jeans and a blue Hollister shirt along with my converse. My hair was down and straight and my bangs were swept to one side. I put on Britney Spears perfume (Curious) and I was all ready to go.
"Baby your all that I want and your lying here in my heart." My phone was ringing.
"Hello?" I answered.
"Hey it's Sal meet me at the park."
"Um ok." Were we going to the park or something? I then drove to the park in my Mustang Convertible and saw Sal waiting for me on one of the swings.
"Hey!" He said looking very happy.
"Um hi." I said with confusion written across my face.
"Ok get in my car, we are going to the special place I want to take you."
"Um ok." I was still confused. We got in his red saturn and started driving somewhere. "Are you going to tell me where you are taking me?" I asked.
"You'll see." He said smiling.
"Ok." I said. I was so nervous. Maybe he was taking me to a fancy restaurant or something. It would be so uncomfortable if he was because I wouldn't know what to talk about. A whole bunch of thoughts were running through my head until we pulled up to the place.
"We're here." He said.
It was a go-cart place. I LOVED go-carting. It was so fun and now it won't be so awkward because we won't have to sit down and just talk, we could just have a whole bunch of fun.
"Oh my gosh, I love go-carting!" I yelled.
He laughed. "So do I!"
We both went up and he paid for me and I insisted that I paid, but he wouldn't let me. We got in the go-carts and started driving. As I was laughing and having a good time I was thinking that I was dreaming. I really liked this guy and I have a feeling that he likes me too. When he talks to me he looks nervous, but happy at the same time. He was very cute and he thought that I was very cute. He made me feel right. We then got out of the go-carts and went to the batting cages that was in the same place. I really sucked at baseball and what not, so Sal came up behind me and showed me how to hold the bat and hit the ball. When his hand touched mine, I instantly felt sparks between us. I got the chills all over my body and I couldn't breath right. "Just so you know I am having the most fun I had in a long time." I smiled and so did he.
"Yea me too." He said. "Do you want to go get some ice-cream now?" He asked me.
"Yea definitely." I said. We then headed out to the car, it was about 8:00 PM and the moon was starting to come up in the sky. It was a beautiful bright full moon.
"Um never mind I can't take you out for ice-cream because I have homework to do." He said very fast.
"Well it's only Saturday can't you do it tomorrow?" I asked.
"No, but I am in a hurry I will drop you back off at the park to your car." He was rushing me. Does he have another date or something? He was driving very very fast and it was about 10:10 PM when we got to the park. His eyes were a weird color, they looked like they had a reddish tint to it or something.
"Well I had a lot of fun thank you." I said.
"I will call you tomorrow, bye." He didn't even look at my face and then he sped off. What was up with that? I didn't understand why he was acting so weird. I then got into my car and drove home. Did he really have homework to do? I don't think he did because my school rarely gives out homework. I was so confused and then I pulled up into my driveway and quietly went in the house, I didn't want to wake up my parents. I put on my pj's and brushed my teeth and went to bed. I couldn't fall asleep because I couldn't help but think about Sal. Why was he acting so weird? After many thoughts rushed through my head, I fell asleep.
