   "Ryan wake up!" my mom yelled.  I opened my eyes and looked at my clock.
I had slept through my alarm for 20 minutes.  Even though I was running
late I still got up slowly.  It was another one of those mornings, you get
enough sleep but you still are exhausted when you wake up.  I bet if I was
going somewhere else today, vacatation or perhaps an amusement park, I
wouldn't be tired right now.  Today though, I was going to school, I was
exhausted.  I took my shower and got dressed.  I went over my perdictable
in my head and tried to remember if I did my homework.

   Off I was to school.  I got in my car and was on my way.  My car is a
junker.  A lot of the other kids have nice new cars their parents bought
them.  I think my parents bought me this car because they felt sorry for
me. They must've figured that I wouldn't manage to get my own car for quite
some time, they were right.  My parent's have more then enough money to buy
me whatever I'd like, within reason of course.  They don't do that though,
they are worried about spoiling me.  In a way I kind of agree with them. 
Most of the things that I have I feel like I've earned in a way.

   As I pulled into school I saw all the other kids walking in from the
parking lot.  I wonder if they were looking foreward to each day of school
as much as I was?  I could almost see the light only two more years then
I'd be a free man.  I was still tirec so I just went into class instead of
hanging out with my friends for a few minutes.  I sat down in my seat in my
first class and I waited.  I knew that she would be here soon.

   I have known kelly since sixth or seventh grade.  I never have really
talked to her but we've been in some of the same classes for years.  In my
head I was picturing her.  She is about 5'4 130-140 pounds.  I don't
understand how guys really get into those girls that are skinny like a
twig. In my mind shes the the peak of beauty.  She has shoulder length dark
hair (thank god she doesn't bleach it blonde) and faily light skin.  She
has certainly grown into a woman since I first laid my eyes upon her.  She
had developed very well in the chest, atleast a c cup.  Her hips had also
widened abit giving her walk a very inviting sway, advertising her almost
out of a

   I looked at my clock while I was swatting at the alarm.  Six a.m. 
Another day of school ahead of me.  I took my shower and made sure I paid
extra attention to my hair.  The other day I didn't put quite enough
conditioner in and my hair was kinda knotty.  While drying off I opened the
closet door and looked over my wardrobe.  I didn't have a lot of clothes by
some peoples standards but I believe its a sizeable collection.  Hopefully,
I can make some additions to it sometime soon.  I didn't get quite
everything I wanted when school started and it needs alittle sprucing up. I
got dressed and came down to get something for breakfest.

   Mom has left early this morning and I found a note on the counter. 
"There are some toaster strudels in the freezer have a nice day at school,
love mom" Atleast there was something decent to eat this morning.  I am
getting sick of those power bars.  As my breakfest cooked in the toaster I
walked into the other room and put on my makeup.  Makeup to me is like
perfume, alittle goes a long way.  As I sat there eating my breakfest I
looked at the clock it was 6:45 my friend should be here pretty soon to
pick me up for school.

   I heard the final bell ring and I lifted my head up, I'd fallen asleep.
Class started as it usually does, and proceeded like it always did.  I
couldn't sleep in this class because my teacher would always wake you up
and you'd get in trouble.  My next period I could get away with it.

   Kelly sits right in front of me.  I just sort of daydream all class and
try to stay awake.  Damn she looks good today maybe I could talk to her
today.  I could see it right now, we'd talk and get along wonderful. 
Something would be different and magical today.  The universe would grant
my with and all my dreams would come true.  I thought about what it would
be like to take off her clothes while slowly kissing her.  To get inside of
her.  I wondered if she'd ever slept with any guys before.  I was a virgin
but what about her?  I knew she'd 'dated' a few guys.  Being in highschool
though that could mean a lot or mean nothing.  For some reason, maybe its a
guy thing, when I think about her being with other guys that I've never met
and never will.  It makes me kinda jealous.  Maybe its some sort of
territorial thing.  I realize that she is in no way mine but I still get
jealous.

   After class I packed my stuff up and stood up.  I was hoping that she
would be right next as we walked out so maybe we could talk but I wasn't
paying attention and it took me too long to get my stuff together.  She was
one of the first out of the door.  I missed my chance but I guess its ok.
Did I really have any chance anyway?

   As I walked down the hall I ran into my friend Sarah.  Her class is
right next to my first class so we talk everyday as we goto our next class.
"Hey Kelly!  Wait up!" she yelled at me.  "What are you going to do
tonight? It is Friday" She asked me "I really don't have any plans yet you
wanna do something tonight?" "Ya there is a party over at Jen's house her
parents are going out of town for the weekend and they are leaving her
there" "Her parents are letting her stay home alone all weekend?" "Ya she
told them that she had a lot of school stuff to take care of and they
bought it" "cool is there going to be anything to drink there?" "She got
her older brother to get her some stuff so it should be awesome" "Great we
can you give me a ride over there?" "Sure I'm staying the night though so
you'll have to tell your parents something" "I can just tell them that I'm
staying over at your house tonight they won't ask too many questions"
"Great I'll give you a call after school cya"

   As I walked down the hall I saw my friend Nathen up ahead.  I sped my
walk up a bit and got right next to him.  "Hey Nathen whats going on?  "Oh
not much man I was talking to Sarah during my last class and she said that
Jen is having a party tonight" "Cool you going?" "Ya" he said "Ok, my class
is right here I gotta go" "Cya tonight man"

   After I got home from school my parents were both still at work.  I sat
down and watched some TV the whole time looking at the clock.  After about
an hour or so I took a shower and got dressed.  I'm not the neatest dresser
or anything but I knew there would be girls there tonight, I just wanted to
be presentable.  I got there about six-thirty and saw there were already
some people there.  I saw Nathen's car there so I knew atleast someone I
knew would be there.  I was going to knock on the front door but I heard
some people out back so I just went around.  Nathen was there along with
some of my other friends.  They were out back smoking and talking.  "hey
guys hows it going?" I asked them Apparently, There was a girl that Nathen
was interested in that was going to be there tonight and he was kinda
excited about that.  Other then that it was the same shit as usual.  We
talked about women, music, and cars.  In that order auctully.  I don't tell
my friends I'm interested in Kelly because I know someone would tell her
then.  I'm almost afraid of her knowing..  it might make things easier in
the long run but easier doesn't usually mean better.

   As the night progressed more people arrived.  It was your typical
highschool party.  Lots of people you didn't really know but you'd seen
around.  There of course is never enough for everyone to drink but thats
just the way things work out.  Walking into the living room I saw little
groups of people talking here and there.  A few merged by the antics of
someone who had been there early enough to drink quite abit.  I didn't see
Jen or Nathen around anywhere.  Maybe they had hit it off really good. 
Well..  probably not but it still crossed my mind.  I talked with some of
my friends, nothing special was going on.  It was auctully getting pretty
boring.  I only had two beers before they all dissapeared which was fine
because I would be going home soon anyway if it kept going like this.  I
walked into the kitchen and I saw Kelly looking into the fridge.  She
must've just noticed that we were out of beer because I heard her say
'damn'.  I didn't know what to say to her but I had to talk to her so I
walked over to the fridge and asked "Is there anymore beer?" "No" "That
sucks I only got two" "Ya I didn't get any at all"

   I wished that she'd atleast had a few it might be easier to talk to her
then.  I wondered if she was dating anyone?  I didn't dare ask my friends
if they knew because then they might catch on I was interested.  In my mind
she was much to special for my friends to know.  "You enjoying the party
tonight?" I asked her "It kinda sucks, Sarah gave me a ride tonight and
shes had to much to drink to go home I don't really wanna stay anymore,
hopefully I'll find a ride with someone"

   I knew right away that this was my opportunity.  I had planned to stay
another hour or two atleast but if I could give her a ride home we might
get a chance to talk and get to know eachother.  I suddenly felt really
really good.  "Auctully, I was gonna take off in about fifteen minutes if
you want a ride" I lied

   After I said that time slowed down.  In the three or four seconds it
took her to respond it felt like minutes went by.

   I thought about it I don't really know this guy that well but he knows
some of my friends and he seems like a nice enough guy.  I "Ok"

   Those two syllables were beautiful.  Suddenly I felt a rush coming
through my body.  It was pure happiness.  I can't believe it I was gonna
get to give her a ride home, we would talk, everything would be perfect. 
Maybe we'd talk then at school and if I was lucky one thing would lead to
another eventually.  "I'm gonna say good-bye to some of my friends and then
you can give me a ride?" "sure" I responded, trying to hide the smile on my
face.

   I went to the bathroom, thats what led me through the kitchen anyway,
and did my buisness.  While I washed my hands I looked into the mirror. 
Everyone looks into the mirror all the time, most of the time its just a
quick glance, but this time I really looked at myself.  Studying my
features and making sure my hair looked good.

   As I made my way to the door I got really nervous.  What if everything
gets messed up and I say the wrong thing?  As you can tell...  I worry
sometimes.  "Hey where are you going without me?" I heard her say behind
me. "I wasn't gonna leave you, are you ready to go?" "Ya"

   As we walked through the door I thought to myself 'I wish I would've
cleaned up my car abit she might think I'm a slob or something' oh well
theres no time for me to do anything about it now.  We got in the car and
started down the street then she asked me "Are you hungry?" "Yeah" I lied
"you wanna get something?" "Yeah" "Where do you want to go?"...

   Before I knew it we were both sitting down and eating together.  This
was like a dream come true.  We made small talk at first, just commenting
on the party then I asked her.  "So..  are you seeing anyone right now?"

   She looked up at me perhaps alittle surprised by the abrupt turn in the
conversation, then answered.  "No, not right now"

   I was really hoping I'd get a much longer response out of her so I'd
have time to think about what to say next but I still liked what I heard.
"Well, what do you look for in someone" "hmmm..  that's a tough question..
what do you mean exactly, like physically?  Or what I like in a person?"
"What you like in a person"

   I figured this would be much safer then physical looks.  I'm not a bad
looking guy but I'm don't think I really stand out.

   "Well..  I like the type of person that is exciting to be around, I
don't mean though going out all the time.  I want them to be someone that I
don't have to go out to have a good time with, like..  we can just hang out
and its fun and if we go out its fun." "yeah" I said hoping she'd keep
going "I also like someone who I can talk to..  its hard to find a person
like that sometimes.  The kind of person that you can really open up to and
share with.  I guess what I'm looking for is someone understands what I
want and knows that there is more to me then what you can just see.  What
about you?" "Yeah..  pretty much the same stuff I know what you mean about
people seeing you for who you really are inside.  A lot of people will just
take a look at you and decide who you are, for you, without even giving you
a chance."

   At that moment there was a spark, our eyes caught eachothers and I think
we both got that feeling of butterflies in our stomachs.  It was like a
magical shell came down over us, blocking the rest of the world out.  There
was a pull I was feeling, it was pulling me towards her, telling me to kiss
her.  I put my hand on hers.  At almost a whisper I said "If you can.. 
find that special person..  who sees you for who you really are, the type
of person that makes you feel good for no reason other then they are there.
I think you can be very happy."

   There was a short silence, my hands still on hers.  I could see her
thinking.  If only I knew what was going through her head.  She looked away
though and I could see a smile forming on her face.  Was she trying to hide
it?  She looked back at me still wearing her smile and said "I think its
time for us to go"

   As I sat in his car, while he took me home, I thought to myself.  Even
though I just met this guy, he seems so sweet.  I wonder if he has a
girlfriend?  Should I ask him?  Does it matter?  If I ask he might know
that I like him.  I've never met anyone like him though, how often do you
really get to know someone and really connect with them?  It was like
magic! I need to get to know him better.  "Hey..  Ryan.." "Yeah?" "I told
my parents I was staying overnight at Sarah's tonight and they aren't
expecting me home till tommorow.  Do you want to maybe go somewhere and we
could talk for awhile or something?" "Yeah we can do that"

   Oh My GOD!  She auctully wants to spend more time with me!  This is
amazing!  I started going through all the possibilities in my head, they
were overwhelming me.  Of course that little voice in my head kicked in and
said "maybe she just wants to be my friend and thats all" or "she couldn't
really be interested in a guy like me, I'm not that lucky" Infact, I think
that voice said both of those things at the same time but, reguardless, we
were now at the park.
