a short story i wish was real.

Just a normal day in drama class. laughing, chatting, whispering and practicing a scene. I was goofing off. when you walked in, skipping one of your classes, just to come in to drama. You spend a few minutes joking with the teacher, i watch you as you stand in your awkward pose with your Beatles graphic T-shirt and earphones hanging from your ear. You say your goodbye to the teacher and stroll to where im standing. act natural i tell myself.

"hey." You say with your beautiful smile

"oh hey how are your classes?" natural, natural, natural.

"boring as hell" you tell me. Then you laugh. Oh god, that laugh.

" oh man that sucks." My phone starts to vibrate, i pull it out, stupid move. hes going to think i hate talking to him nononononononononononononononono.

"Oh, you have a blackberry too? sweet! I cant believe we've known eachother for four months and i dont have your number! here put it in." you hand me your phone, our fingers touch for a moment, can you feel my shaking hands? I hope not, i smoothly put my number in the phone and hand it back,

"here you go." I give him my best smile.

"Let me make sure it works ill just text you." My heart skips a beat as those brown eyes search through your contacts until you find my name. You let a little smirk seep through as you press send. My phone vibrates.

"Ahh, it works!" I manage to get out without stuttering. I look at you, you look at my pocket with my phone peeking out. You suddenly look nervous. I reach for my phone and take it out. I look at the message it says: I've loved you since the day i saw you, go out with me?

Some tears of joy build up in my eyes, i look up at you, shake my head yes, and jump into your arms.

Modern teenage electronic hookup (that sounds rather odd)! Really cute (loving the Beatles incorporation...loving these brackets). I like your short stories, but I really think you should take your ideas and try to spread them out to create a longer story!! I want to know how they met four months ago, because this little glimpse could make a nice ending to a two thousand word story. Maybe you could add more on later? It would be fun too, considering you wish it was real ;)
Think about it! Just try writing longer stories because you have solid ideas (however, considering it's impossible for me to write a story under a thousand words, it's not surprising I would suggest this!)
