Prologue
I'm a 17-year-old girl turning 18 within months. Girls my age are usually thinking about clothes, music, and shopping. Those things can be forgotten in a second if you bring in love. Every girl in this known world thinks about love. I sometimes wonder when I will be in love. Feel that spark inside you when you see that someone destined to be with you. Now I've liked guys before but they didn't have the spark I'm looking for. I don't really care for love because I'm too busy thinking of clubs I'm in and all the classes I'm taking as a sophomore at Bodega College. I'm in college and I have to make the most of it. There's no room for love… until that spark lit up inside me. Some people might say I'm too young to tell when I'm in love but age is just a damn number.
Chapter 1…
"Another damn day of school…'' D said sitting down at her assigned seat in her Italian 1 class.
"It's not going to be finished for awhile D so just live with it.'' Her friend Jesse said as she sat next to her.
"I know, I know and nothing is going to happen." D slumped down in her seat ready to take a nap.
"I don't know D. Something might just happen. Something exciting happens everyday… but to different people.'' Jesse tried to be optimistic.
"And when will it be my turn?'' D rubbed her eyes wither her palms.
"When God chooses it to be.'' Jesse said awhile pulling her bag of pens out.
"When I think God is in a slump right now", D looked away and nuzzled herself in her arms.
"God's never in a slump. You are the one who's slumping.'' Jesse pointed at D. "Besides God has something in store for you. He's just waiting for the right time. It might happen today.''
"And what are the chances of that happening?'' D lifted her head to Jesse.
"Slim to none.'' Jesse admitted to D.
"Yup and it's going to stay like that for a long time…'' D snuggled her head in her arms on her desk.
"D, I was just trying to cheer you up.'' Jesse said awhile looking through her Italian book.
"I appreciate it Jesse. For a girl your age, you're really down to earth.''
"Thank you D!" Jesse smiled at D even though she couldn't see her.
"Your welcome, now nappy time…'' D drifted off into her sleep.
After class ended, D walked to T8 where her history class was. She walked in and saw the usual people in her class.
"Hey Mrs. S!" D waved at her teacher as she walked into the class.
"Hey D, are you ready for class today?'' Her teacher asked her.
"Sure I'm ready, might fall asleep again…'' She said as she put her stuff down near her seat.
"Well if you do, Louie can wake you up."
"Not if he goes first.'' She sat down at her desk. D went through her bag and noticed gum on her shoe.
"Damn gum…'' She pulled binder paper out of her binder and used it to get the gum off her shoe.
"Ew, that's gross D!" Louie said as he watched D take the gum off her shoe. She looked up at him and held up the wadded up gum on the piece of paper.
"I was just playing with you D.'' He sat down in the seat 4 feet away from D's left side. D looked at the doorway to see her classmates huddled around the grades posted up on the wall. She waited for them to come in so she can throw away the paper.
"I got the highest grade in class!" Jay one of the smartest and 'popular' kids in class said. She never paid attention to a person like him.
"I got a D baby! I'm passing the class baby!" Kiel the football player and class clown said as he danced his way to his seat behind D.
"Nice job Kiel, I'm sure you'll be passing all year!" D smiled as she encouraged him.
"That's right! Passing all year!" Kiel replied to her. She looked at the doorway to see if it was clear of people. When it was clear, D stood up, and was about to throw the paper away until the bell ran. Mrs. S walked to the front of class and motioned for D to sit down.
"Class, we're taking notes today so everyone take out whatever you need. D, can you turn the lights off since you're up?"
"Sure!" D said awhile getting up. She walked to the trashcan and light switch until someone bumped into her hard as the person came into the class. D lost her balance when the person bumped into her. She was about to fall on her back until the person grabbed her arm and pulled her into their arms. She was face to face with the person who bumped into her. D lost her breath when her eyes met with his. His eyes were the nicest she's seen in the school. He's the most handsome guy she's ever seen in school. In fact, this was the first time she's ever seen him. She felt his arms around her. D felt as if they were in another world, just the two of them together. The spark was lively in her.
"Hi.'' He said to her as he looked into her eyes.
"Hello." D smiled at him. His cheeks turned red when she smiled at him.
"PDA! PDA!" Louie shouted as he stood up in his chair and pointed at D and the guy holding her. D pushed herself out of his arms as the class laughed at her. D went back to throwing away her trash and turned off the lights abruptly stopping the class laughter.
"So you're the new student. I've been wondering when you've be coming." Mrs. S walked to the new student to get him settled in. When D sat back down at her desk, Louie leaned towards her.
"So how does it feel to be fondled by the new guy?'' He asked her.
"You're a dumb Louie…" D turned away from him.
"Tell him something new D.'' Kiel said. Louie turned to Kiel and gave him a 'that's stupid' look.
"D,'' Mrs. S said as she walked to D's desk.
"Yes?" She said looking at her.
"Can you show our new student Au'lun the ropes to this class?" Mrs. S asked her D glanced at the tall and handsome Au'lun and back to her teacher.
"Sure!"
"Great, Au'lun you can sit next to D if you want.''
"Thank you." Au'lun said as he set his backpack on the desk next to D.
"Ok, let me go enter you into my laptop." Mrs. S walked away from them. Au'lun sat down next to D and looked at her.
"Um… Can I see the chapter assignment pages she gave you?" D asked him. Au'lun pulled the papers out of his binder and showed it to her.
"Ok, this is what you do. You read the long chapter and after you read it, you must make a chapter outline with these keywords in it." D circled the keywords. "You have to include, define, and highlight them in your outline." As D was explaining to him what to do, Au'lun was distracted with looking down her shirt and brought his gaze up to D's face. Her beauty intoxicated him.
"Au'lun, did you understand what I just told you?'' She asked him.
"Yeah, I got it." He said coming back to reality.
"Are you sure?"
"No… but I think I kind of get it." He said truthfully.
"Ok, explain to me what you do with this." D pointed at the outline assignments.
"I think you said we write outlines on chapters and have keywords in the outline.''
"Yup, but what do you do with the keywords in the outline?"
"Um… um… I think you define them and highlight them?'' Au'lun said as he tried to remember.
"Kind of… but it doesn't matter because I don't really do them.'' D said laughing.
"Ha-ha, ok.'' Au'lun gave her a smile. When she saw him smile, she couldn't help it but blush. His smile gleamed on her as she gazed upon his smile.
"Um… I'd like to thank you… for catching me near the door…'' D said as she gazed at his smiled.
"Your welcome, I'll do it again if I have to…'' Au'lun replied to her. They sat there looking at each other until Mrs. S brought them back to reality.
"Hey, we're taking notes now.' She waved her hands in front of them. Mrs. S went to the front of the class to set up.
"So, what are your classes?" D asked him as she took her black pen out of her bag.
"I have um…" Au'lun pulled out his schedule. "Journalism with Mrs. Dearly.''
"Oh, I have journalism too so we can walk to journalism together if you want."
"Sure." He was cheering in his mind.
"Great!" She couldn't believe he agreed. She never thought someone who was as handsome as Au'lun accept to walk with her to class.
"Ok everyone, notes time." Booing came from every side of the class as Mrs. S turned around. "Hey, do you want to take a test instead?'' The class went quiet when she threatened them with a test. "Good, now let's start.'' Au'lun pulled out his reading glasses and put them on to see the board better. D turned to him right when he put his glasses on.
"Wow…'' She thought to herself as she looked at him. As Au'lun adjusted his glasses, he caught D looking at him. She quickly looked away from him. Au'lun laughed to himself when she looked away. After 15 minutes of note taking, D started to drift off. Au'lun watched her slowly fall asleep on her desk. As he watched her, he started to fall asleep himself.
25 minutes later…
"D, Au'lun!" Mrs. S shook them as she yelled. They both woke up and looked around the class.
"Where's the class?" D said as she was stretching.
"Heading towards they're next class." She said as she walked over to her desk.
"THE BELL RANG?" D yelled.
"Yes.'' D gathered her stuff and threw it into her bag.
"I'm going to be late!" She said quickly putting on her bag.
"Where's the class?" Au'lun asked as he pulled out a map of the school.
"Right there.'' She pointed at the classes near the staff parking lot.
"Let's go!" Au'lun grabbed her hand and ran out of the class. They ran through the hallway near the cafeteria and to the school statue. D saw her friends waiting for her near the bear.
"Hi guys! Can't talk now! Need to get to class!" She yelled to them as she ran off with Au'lun. Her friend watched her sail off with a guy she's never seen before.
"Damn D…"
