Just A Dream
Sam
It was October 2nd when my life changed forever. Freddie (AKA my AMAZING boyfriend) and I were walking down the halls of Ridgeway High School on our way to our 3rd class. People stare at us as we walk hand in hand down the hall. I guess nobody thought we would ever fall in love. But when you're 17 and a half and 18 who knows what will happen?
"Sam in here" Freddie pulled me into the janitor's closet that I used when I frequently skipped class.
"What Benson? Ever since we started dating I've been going to class more often so I can keep my grades up so I can graduate with you and Carly and now you want me to skip class? I…" the rest of my sentence was lost in tears. The boy I used to tease and torture that had eventually grown into the man I loved with all my heart was down on his knee with an emerald encrusted ring in a little black box in his hand. My heart raced
"Sammie I love you with all my heart. Marry me and I promise I will love you forever" I didn't know what to say. I loved Freddie too but what about high school? What about his mother? I know I don't have a future but what about his?
"But Freddie, what about everything?"
"Nothing matters to me anymore. I've found you- the girl I've been looking for my entire life… I love you… more than anything" I couldn't hold back tears any longer. They streamed out of my eyes and onto my cheeks as I said the word and he slipped the ring on my finger. It wasn't a fancy ring, but it meant everything to me. It gave me a future. I loved it. I pulled Freddie closer and planted a kiss on his lips. Then the bell rang. Was it lunch already?
"Come on baby! We gotta tell Carly!" I smiled. And hand in hand we walked into the lunchroom to share our news with our best friend
