Entry # Two
9/25/12
I have never been so grateful to go to public school before in my life until today. The system I'm place in has me mixed in with neanderthals who have a lack of guidance for the need of education. One of the things that fascinate me about you is how well you adapt and respond. I know the way this sounds, it sounds like you're my test subject but I'm just really observant of you. You're not like your gorilla friends. Using gorilla in a metaphorically yet true statement. They act like apes and are hairy. But anyways you're like an optical illusion. I'm not saying I have you figured out because I don't, if I did I'd probably wouldn't be writing these. You're pretty smart after all but you hide it from your friends.
When our English teacher, assigned partners to do a multimedia presentation on any literature of our choice, I felt like I would be paired with an ape of a classmate. Surprising enough I got to be partners with you instead. When he called our names, I saw something. I saw a small smile creep on your face. Like you were excited to work with me. You collected your notebooks and sat in the desk to the right of me. My tongue disappeared just then. Your presence before me deemed me vulnerable to you. I swallowed hard before finally saying hi. You flashed me your beautiful smile in response. For once it was directed towards me. That made me melt inside. Your voice flowed smoothly as you spoke to me about ideas. When you said "Shakespeare" it sounded beautiful, like it was written by Shakespeare. We agreed on doing a report on Shakespeare. Or I think we did, I was distracted by your face. I think I made my staring inconspicuous, I could have started drooling for all I know.
The bell rang which told me, that our time together was coming to an end. An Ending to seeing your sophisticated side. I appreciate what you did for me. You stayed and helped me gather my books. It's awesome to know that some of us still treat people with compassion. My hand felt a jolt as it met with your hand. That spark traced towards my heart and caused my cheeks to be flushed pink when you looked at me. Time froze. There were two choices I could have done. I could have awkwardly got up and escape your gaze or I could have pushed my limits and kiss you. Time was melting slowly now, I could see you in slow motion. Your pink lips looked like they were aimed for mine. My body was still. Your head leaned into mine. And our lips locked. I could feel you on my lips. I could taste your cheery Chapstick. "Carlos Garcia is kissing me!" All I could process in my mind was that sentence. The class room faded away. It began to feel like we were in space. I could smell the cologne on you. Well the cologne that was on me now too. That's the only air I could breathe. Sadly colors came back in. Time sped up. And our lips departed. You waved goodbye to me and you disappeared into the hallway.
