Love!

Yes my dear friends, Wiitendo is offically in love! And I gotz lots to share with everyone so grab a chair and listen to my story.

So in real life my name is Garrett, I got to school, play videogames, write stories, the usual stuff. I have a good bit of friends, not alot, but about 7. Well, before I met these wonderful people I was really self-centered, and read alot during lunch periods and stuff. On the first day I school I sat alone on a bench at lunch minding my business and reading a novel, well I looked over at the end of the bench and saw a beautiful girl sitting there reading the last Harry Potter book. Our eyes crossed and sent us in a retreat looking away from each other in embarrasment. I later found out that she was in my Spanish I class, her name was Julia. I don't know why, but I guess the saying is true, their was such thing as love at first sight.

Well months went on and I could look across the room and see her reading her books, not caring for the subject at all, somebody who could just put the world away, like in her pocket and escape to a different world of her own. I truely grew feelings for her, but soon I met my great friends and we really became close. Andres, one of my best friends, encouraged me to never be afraid and it really helped me today. Anyway I getting ahead of myself. Soon Christmas time came and I knew that she loved books alot so I decided to get her one of my favorite books, Watership Down. Love makes you do crazy things and I went and spent nearly 30bucks for a hardcover edition of the novel, and wrapped it myself. On the last day before the holiday break I saw her walking to the Gym to take the exam for that class, and with great courage I tapped her shoulder, grabbing her attention. With my eyes looking striaght into her's I took the gift out of my bookbag and handed it to her. All I got was a smile with a small thank-you and we went out seperate ways.

When we returned to school Jan.8 (The day after LSU kicked Ohio's ass!) we only made eye contact a few times, but I was afraid to speak to her in class since one of my friends, Alex was sitting next to me, and I would feel embarrased. One day Alex was absent so I got a chance to ask her if she read the book and she said, "Sorry I havn't been able to even read it, my sister conviscated it from me." I just smiled and told her it was alright, but I felt a little sad. Still I was determined never to give up, my friend Andres helped me carry on. My brother soon left to go into the Marines so now it was just me and my sister at home with both brothers in the military. I knew that they had both started new chapters of their lives so it came time for me to start my own. That next week I decided to talk to her. While in Spanish Class, we were in line to get our work checked so I looked over and asked her if she had heard of a book my sister had been reading called, Twilight. She was happy to say she had all three books and that she'd be glad to let me borrow it, so she did and this was only the first step to getting close to her. I talked with her a little each day about how the book was, but I wanted a chance to see and talk to her more, and that chance soon came.

Earlier this week was of course Valentine's Day week, and the school was going to allow us to dress-down (Not wear uniforms) on that day along with a double lunch. (Our lunchs are split into two different times) I had 2nd lunch while she had 1st, so this would be a chance for me to see her for atleast an hour and a half. For someone very quiet I thought she'd have no friends so nothing to distract her from me made me glad. Atlast the day came, and I wore my best cloths walking into school. Well lunch soon came and for the first time I went to 1st lunch. With my buddies I searced everywhere and finally found her with some friends of her's sitting on a bench. I was too nervous and shy to say hello so I chickened out and sat alone while my friends went to see other people. I instead began reading more of Twilight while also keeping my eye in the corner seeing her. I couldn't help but notice that she was constantly looking at me and atlast I saw her walk over to me. I looked up to see her with her pretty smile. I welcomed her to sit next to me and she did. We talked about stuff, making eye contact, and feeling pretty loose. It was great, and I knew that their was a dance this Saturday so I had the mind to ask her but before I could the bell rung. The hour and half of lunch flew by like seconds. She told me that she lived down a street real close to school, and I knew she took the bus everyday. Well while driving home a sudden thought told me to go there, and so I did. (Yes it'd look as if I were a stalker. ) As I passed down the street I saw the bus coming down the street knowing she was probably dropped off, I continued and then I saw her walking towards an apartment building, probably where she lived. After that I was in such a good mood that I passed my a store and picked up a cute little valentine's gift, a small monkey plush (Her favorite animal) and would decide to give it to her tomorrow.

Well tomorrow was TODAY and I was nervous. I came to school early to see her, and walk her to her homeroom class, that was next to mine. Today we got our interm-reports (kinda like half-way report cards.) I got passing in everything but AlgebraII (I hate math). Later in Spanish we watched a dumb movie, and afterwards I ignored my friend's yadda and went to her. With a striaght face I asked her if she wanted to go to the dance, sadly she said that her dad wouldn't let her, since she was failing everything. I WAS BUMBED! Heart-broken I went to my C-5 class...where my mind started working. I knew now that I couldn't go to the dance with her but I had to give her the gift. I thought I'd get to her street after school befor the bus and wait for her. I thought it was a silly idea, but I then said to myself, "WHY NOT!?" I didn't want to just give up, I was crazy! In gym I waited for the final minutes of the day, as my friend Andres told me not to give up, but surguessed that I go and ask her if she wanted a ride home instead of the bus. It was raining and I could drop her off right at her doorstep, so I decided to go with that, Plan B. After school I raced to the front of the school, but I suddenly saw her enter the bus right as I got there. I didn't know what to do...but then I said, "%&$^ it! I'm going with plan A! I raced to my car and hopped in turning it on, and dashed out of the parking lot and onto the road. With time against me I hurried through Friday traffic with nothing but sheer will to make it there. Atlast I reached the street and waited by her house in the car. I thought many times of just leaving and forgeting this, but I remembered Andres' advice, I couldn't fear what I truely wanted, and right now I wanted her and nothing was going to stop me! That's when I saw her, walking in the rain towards me.

I calmly stepped out of my car and removed my shades, with a smile I waved to her. She stopped for a second and gave me a look like, "Holy cow! ITS YOU!" so with a smile I walked up to her and said hi. She looked glad and surprised to see me. I told here I just passed by to say hi, and then she quickly asked for my number saying, "I wanna call you if my dad changes his mind." So I gladly gave her it and then I gave her the gift. Her eyes lite up and it looked as if her heart had melted. So with that I said goodbye and wished her luck with her father. With smilies we both parted and thus I returned to my car where I celebrated by playing, "Panama" on my stereo. So I got home and an hour later she called, with GREAT NEWS! Her dad she she could, but I'd have to meet him tomorrow! I agreed and we said bye for the night.

So that's the story, and I'm in love my friends. But tomorrow I have alot of work to do! I gotta met this girl's parents, and take her to the dance, so I gotta lot on my mind. If I'm absent for a while you'll know why, but I'll be sure to always stop by a little bit everyday even if I'm busy. Okay g-nite.
