I skipped up to Chris in the hall, "Hey, Chris!"
He jumped, "What do you want, Kathy?" He said, kind of an edge to his voice.
"Hey, Chris. Um, well, I was wondering...." I said coyly, I knew I was blushing. I giggled, "Do you want to go out with me this weekend?" I didn't even try to hide my anxiousness.
Chris sighed and I hoped he wouldn't say it, but I knew he would. He always does.....
He put his hand on my shoulder and I almost stopped breathing. Chris said, "I'm sorry, Kathy, but I...." I started spacing out, not really listening to him, just staring into those blue, blue eyes....
".... I have a boyfriend..... don't want to go out with you..... don't love you.... I'm sorry, Kathy." Chris said, or something like that.
My face fell and Chris smiled kindly. Before I could say anything, he turned and left.
There I stood, alone in the hall, tears filling my eyes. How does that song go?.... All byyy myself....
At lunch, I sat a few tables away from the fiend who had broken my delicate heart, Chris Harper. He and his little group were murmuring something. Chris and some of his friends turned around, glancing at me before quickly turning back around.
Outraged, I bent the metal fork I was holding in one hand. Sorry, fork.
After a few moments, Chris turned around again, but instead of whipping back around, his eyes stayed on me. He looked so sincere, like he was apologizing with his eyes. His big, blue eyes....
I tried to glare at him, but I'm a sucker for that baby face of his. I fought back a grin and tried to look sad.
Chris waved at me, which I hadn't expected. He mouthed, Hi. I couldn't help but smile at this and I whimpered longingly.
"It's okay, I don't bite." He said. Aww! It was just like in the movies! I smiled and tears were filling my eyes, but I didn't care.
Chris wanted me to go sit with them! I didn't care if he had just bombed China or Japan or whatever, I was not turning this opportunity down! I ran up to them and hugged Chris whether he liked it or not (which of course he did, what's not to like about me?) "I'm sorry I was mad, Chrissypoo!" I cried, hugging him tighter.
Chris hugged me back and I almost stopped breathing. "It's okay, Kathy." He said. He's so great....
"Oh, you're so great, Chris!" I said without hesitation, "I wanna marry you!" Well, he already knew that.
Chris had apologized, he had hugged me, I had him back, my life was almost complete. I skipped away, planning phase two.
