Elementary School (Cont.)
Grade 7
Vanessa slowly walked up the uneven steps, her breath slow but steady. Opening the door to her last class of the day she took her seat in the back.
Vanessa tucked a long of brown hair behind her ear, she opened her notebook and began writing what was on the blackboard.
"Vanessa" Nate said softly.
"Oh Nate, hi" Vanessa looked up at Nate then continued writing her notes.
"You never returned my call" Nate said not caring if Vanessa wasn't paying attention.
"I was busy. I'm sorry I have to go" Vanessa raised her hand and asked to be excused from class. Running out of class tears fell to the ground as she sat on the ground against the wall.
"Vanessa why are you crying?" Dan said leaning against the wall.
"It doesn't matter. What are you doing here?" Vanessa furrowed her eyebrows and looked up at Dan.
"Hello I go here" Dan said sarcastically.
"Duh stupid, I know that. Are you like my stalker now or something?" Vanessa tucked her knees together and brought them up to her chest.
Dan put a hand on his heart. "Ouch"
Vanessa giggled, but refused to make Dan feel better about himself knowing that he's cheering her up.
"I'm your friend, and I'm here for you" Dan said a smile filling his face.
"Thanks, Humphrey" Vanessa sniffled returning the smile.
Grade 8
The annual winter school dance was coming up and Vanessa couldn't be happier.
Vanessa twirled around in her pretty lavender dress.
"Aw, you look so pretty" Vanessa's mom gushed.
"Mom" Vanessa whined, knowing her mother would soon pull out her camera.
"Have fun" Vanessa's mom waved goodbye as her daughter walked out the door.
"Bye mom" Vanessa said playfully.
After walking four blocks she reached the school, carefully walking up the stairs she made her way into the gym.
Dan gasped as the very sight of Vanessa took his breath away.
Vanessa spotted Dan and smiled, walking over to him he handed her a rose.
"Aw, thank you" Vanessa hugged Dan.
Nate sat an empty table trying to keep his cool, although Vanessa broke his heart two years ago he couldn't help but love her just as much as he did before because he knows in his heart Vanessa loves him too.
Dan and Vanessa danced for a while, until Dan began to make a move i.e. he tried to kiss her.
"Dan stop"
Vanessa tried to push him away, but he was too strong.
"She said stop" Nate punched Dan in his jaw, which caused him to fall to the floor.
Vanessa threw her arms around Nate and broke down in tears. "I'm so sorry... I didn't mean to hurt you. It -- It was just a lot to take in, please don't hate me"
"V, I could never hate you. I care about you too much to ever hate you"
Vanessa broke the hug and sniffled. "Nate, I care about you alot too" A warm smile emerged from the corner of her lips.
They stood gazing into each other's eyes lovingly , both pressing there heads lightly against the other.
