Fake perfection

The day started off perfect! I got up and got ready for school like normal. When I was done, I went downstairs and saw my mom had made breakfast and on top of that it was a good hair day. I had time to eat and watch Tv before I left for school. You know what they say, "Your morning shapes your day!"

  I got to school and started to head to class like normal, but I was stopped by a teacher. She told me to go to the cafe. When I entered, I saw my best friend Kayla who I met in 6th grade. I've grown to like her a lot in a friend and a more than friends’ way. I've tried many different times to tell her how I feel but I can never get the words out of me. I also saw my friend James. I met him last year in 7th grade. He's the only one I trusted enough to talk about my feelings towards Kayla.  

Kayla and James were sitting at a table in the front of the cafe, so I took a seat with them. "Any Idea why we are in here?" I asked them both.

"Nah but I heard were going to be in here till 10:30 am." James answered.

I checked the time on my watch. "15 minutes. that's not bad." I decide to pass the time by writing. sometimes when I write I get stuck on some parts but today the words were just breaking through me. I was so locked in I didn't even realize that 15 minutes had already passed.      

 James tapped me on the shoulder to get my attention. when he did, he pointed to the principle. she was trying to get every one’s attention. She stood on the stage with a microphone. "At this time every please report to the football field at this time." she said then hopped off the stage. We all got to the football field and were shocked to see water slides, bounce houses, basketballs, basketball goals, volleyballs, volleyball nets, coolers full of drinks, and food and ice cream trucks in the parking lot.

Everyone was confused because are school did not usually do stuff like this. our school is strict. they are only every did unimportant things like a casually outside meet up with all students for about 5 minutes. so, to see all this stuff here is weird.

 Me, Kayla, and James played with all the things the had out. It was so fun! The end of the day was approaching so students started to settle down. Kayla had ask if she could talk to me in privet. I said yes so, we headed towards the center of the football field. She stood in front of me keeping her head low. She quietly said “James told me something the other day and I want to know if it’s true. Be honest.” She lefts her head up and locks her eyes on mines. “Do you like like me?” I wasn’t mad at James for telling her part of my wanted this to happen its part of the reason why I told him.   

 I didn't need to answer her question verbally. The answer was all over my face. she stepped closer to me close the space between us. she grabbed my hands in hers and looked up at me. good she's so pretty. Her dark Skin, brown eyes wide eyes, the way her hair curled. Everything about her was perfect. her eyes spoke the words she didn't say. "Kiss me." I wrapped my arm around her waist and bring my face down to hers and just like two magnets are lips meet. We pull apart and let are eyes do the talking.

A few seconds of silents goes by but Kayla eventually breaks it "To think that I could have done that way sooner if you would hove just told me."

"I tried many times. I could never get the words out." I said.

Kayla leans in a kisses me again. "Its ok patience is key you know."

The day was prefect! I went home and laid in my bed. I ended up falling asleep. I woke up to my mom screaming. I ran down stairs to make sure she was ok. "Mom what's going on? Are you ok?"

She turns and faces me with the biggest smile on her face. "You are now looking at the new store manger of Walmart!"

I scream "You got the promotion! Omg good job mom!"

I went back to my room and laid and bed reflected on the day. this is going down in the books as the best day Ever. It can't get any better. I ended up going back to sleep and didn't wake back up till about 10:00 pm. I heard my mom crying down stairs. I stumble down stairs and see my mom siting on the couch next to a strange figure. "Mom is ever thing ok?" I say in a a sleepy voice.

my mom reaches her hand out to me "Come here honey."

I walk around the table and make my way to me mom. I stopped right in my tracks when I saw who my mom was sitting by. "DAD!" I yell. My dad has been on deployment for 6 months. this day just got 100 times better! My dad gets up and hugs me tight. tears stream down my face. While I'm hugging my dad I notice somethings in the house start to look a little strange. My mind starts to piece the things together. NO! NO! NO! Maybe my eyes are just playing tricks on me. Maybe my eyes still got a little crust in them. Please! Please! Please! Let this be real!

Then I hear a noise. A noise I know too well. My eyes slowly open and I'm back to the sucky reality. It was only a dream. Oh, but how I wish it was real.
