"Drew, we hardly know each other. I can't do this. It's not…it wont feel right." I looked away from him my eyes filling with tears. "It's really late. I better get going." As I got up to go drew grabbed my arm.
"Taylor, please don't go. We don't have to if you don't wan to. But I know you feel the same way, I know you love me." Drew pulled me down on the couch and looked into my eyes. His eyes went fire-red and I was in a trance. Drew was reading my mind. I do love you Drew, and I do want you, and I'm not sure I'm ready. I just, I don't know what to expect. I've never done this before, you'll be my first. My first everything, my first boyfriend and love you were actually my first kiss. I just don't want to get hurt, I mean I know you wont hurt me but I, I'm just afraid. Drew looked away and his eyes went blue again, the trance was broken.
"Drew" I said pulling him closer. "I know a place we could go, it's totally private and no one can disturb us. Come on" I took his hand and led him up the stairs, down a hall and up another flight of stairs only I knew about. When we got to the top I opened the door. The sight was beautiful. It was the top of the school, the stars and moon shone down on us as I led him to a blanket. "I come up here a lot, to think or to be alone." I sat down with Drew and I looked out into the distance. Drew turned my face towards him and kissed me again. I pulled away and started to unbutton his shirt. When I finished I slid it off his shoulders and it fell to the ground. Then he pushed me away.
"Taylor. I know your not sure about this. You don't have to do this just because I want to. I'll wait for you Taylor. I'm not gonna make you do something your not ready to do." Drew smiled at me and I knew he was serious. He took his shirt off the ground and put it back on. Then he laid down and pulled me beside him letting me put my head on his stomach. I thought it was sweet and romantic, that was before I realized he had no heartbeat. I didn't say anything because I just thought maybe I wasn't listening well enough or something. I closed my eyes and fell asleep. The next morning I woke up in my room in my bed. No rooftop, no Drew, just me, again.
"Oh God. Please don't do this to me" I groaned rolling out of bed. I went to my window and opened the curtains, the sun was bright and hot on my body. I put on a red tank-top and a short jean skirt. "How could he ditch me again?"
"Who?" Someone asked as I turned around and saw Cherrie giving me a look as if she thought I was out of my mind. "Well, who ditched you?"
"No one it was a dream." I lied "I'm just tired I didn't get a very good sleep last night and I didn't study for the test we have. Oh man if I fail Mr. Murdock is gonna freak on me." I grabbed my books and headed down to the classroom with Cherrie. I sat down and started to study as the others in the class talked.
"Okay class, settle down. Here is the test. You need 20 to pass, it's out of 40. You may begin when I hand it to you." Mr. Murdock said as he started to hand out the test and of course I got it last. "Taylor if you don't pass this test I'll have to call your parents and tell them that you're out of here. I can't keep letting you slide. You've failed to many times, this is your last chance.
