Games

What a wonderful night I'd had. Dancing with him, so close. Laughing and talking like there was no tomorrow. My heart fluttered at the memory and I giggled to myself. He's just so perfect, how could I not see before. I was never really sure, he was iffy, I wasn't sure I could trust him but it all changed now. Now I could see who he really was. He smart and funny and just amazing. I'm going to see him tomorrow and we'll laugh at the memories of last night's party. I rolled over in bed, smiling to myself, and cuddled deeper into my covers. My chest swelled with warmth as I pictured his face. I closed my eyes, not wanting the night to end but eager for tomorrow, and drifted off to sleep. My alarm went off, I rubbed my eyes and glared at it. I was having such a nice dream. Then I remembered last night, that was like a dream. I sat on my bed for a moment, committing everything that had happened to memory. Then I stood up, time to get ready. I fussed over my hair and makeup, trying to make it perfect but, of course, failing. Then I got in my car, way too early, and headed to school. I sat in my car for a moment. My stomach filled with butterflies. What was I going to say? Just the thought of seeing him again made my body go all tingly. I stepped out of my car and the air was like ice. I walked to the school building, patting my hair down as the wind blew it out of place. The halls were starting to fill with people and I looked around for him. Still heading towards my locker, I saw him. My stomach flipped and my heard fluttered uncontrollably. I tried to say something but all my words got caught in my throat. I had to at least say hi. He looked up and spotted me and I smiled, he could talk first, that would make it easier. But he didn't smile back. He looked away and kept on walking. My heart sank. What was that? Did I just dream last night? I looked back at him but he didn't even glance at me. My supposedly perfect day was now ruined, my high spirits were at an all time low. This is it, I thought to myself, this is where the games start.
