Yeah... I got bored in full day after school today... so I wrote a short story based off of something that happened today... My writing teacher said it was really good so I hope you enjoy it as much as she did! P.S: I did NOT use any real names... :) ~INTRO END~ "Kasey!" They shouted and my eyes shot open as I snapped out of my daze, a bit shocked by the sudden yell. "Huh...?" I asked drowsily. "Oh... Sorry... What's up?" It was about 12:30 pm and I was sitting at the lunch table with a bunch of my friends. Apparently, I had started staring into space and hadn't listened to what they were talking about. My friend Amy who was sitting next to me turned to face me, an excited grin on her face. "Jake has something he wants to ask you..." she said anxiously. With a sharp turn, my gaze shifted over to the boy who was sitting across the table from me. He seemed to be really nervous about something. "What is it, Jake...?" I asked, a curious smile on my face. "Well... um..." he started and then looked up, staring me in the eyes. "I was wondering if you would... um... like to go out with me..." he said, a hopeful expression on his face. I froze, my eyes widening a bit. Had he really just asked me that? I could feel my cheeks burning as the turned bright red. The palms of my hands became sweaty from nervousness. This particular question had come as quite a shock to me. Even though I knew he had a crush on me for a long time, I never thought that he would get the courage to ask me. And I had noticed myself developing a small crush on him as well throughout the past week or so. However, I wasn't sure if I was ready to have a boyfriend or not. I hadn't had any past experience with dating before, so this was a bit difficult for me to decide. How was I suppossed to act around him if we did go out? And what would happen if we somehow broke up...? Would it ruin our friendship? Slowly, I looked up at him, a small, nervous smile now glued to me bright, red face. He seemed so eager to hear my awnser, but I just couldn't find the words to speak. So, as my heart beat faster, I gave my head a sharp nod, and I could feel my face growing redder. He gave a small sigh of relief and then sent me a comforting smile. "Cool..." he said, and everybody started to hug me and congratulate me. But after that, everybody just went on talking like nothing had happened. Was that really all I had to do...? For the rest of the day, I continued on with my work like it was just an ordinary school day. Every now and again, we would both glance at eachother in the middle of class, but that was it. Everything seemed to be the same as it had been to me, but I seemed to have a brighter spark of joy inside of me. That had been a lot easier than I thought it would be.~ CnC, please...? XP
...Well, I was close. The story is very well written! Even though it's short, you get a pretty good feel for the main character and the people around them, even if they appear for just a short time. I hope this 'Jake' doesn't do anything stupid towards the main character!
I know this 'JAKE' not really his name but her friends will make sure he doesn't.He is my friend to so if he hurts her he is DEAD.Anyways I <3 the story.I loved how you described how you felt and everything.
I like it. Nice story. :noworries: I like how you described the feelings and actions of the characters.
That's good, but in case it fails >> << I know some people in the banana stack business who can make him miserable! I know, it sounds strange, but these people are the equivalent of the mafia when it comes to bananas! Yah, I'm done. Good story, and good luck, DS!
I don't know why I reply to this 3 months after. Good story DS. ;) Oh by the way, you can all call me "JAKE"
Not bad....good description of how you felt.....wow I'm late....here it is almost 3 monthes since this was posted.....oh well.....better late than never.....
I understand, I think. Didn't need to read the first page to know that. I think my head is spinning because of the pain... ARGHHHHH (Needs more rum)
That won't be necessary. Do it after the date. j/k Loved the story! and your lucky my parents won't let me date until I'm 16 and they have to check like his personal record before I can date...
