It has been a couple of weeks since we talked at Dunkin Donuts and things have been going good its almost December and Christmas is coming up. Things between me and Nate have been going good so far we are just friends we talk in geometry and we say hi to each other in the hallways. Today I was running late and I got to school late. It was 20 minutes into first period when I walked into school. I went to my locker to put my backpack away I was rushing when I was walking down the stairs and I saw Nick walking up the stairs.
" Hey Teresa how are you?", he asked
"I'm good, just late" , I said.
Just as I was about to ask Nate why he was going upstairs I tripped over my shoe lace and started falling head first onto the floor when Nate caught me.
"Are you ok?" Nate asked
"Yes I'm fine thank you so much for catching me" I said
"No problem" , he said
I was still holding Nate's arm as he started to lean closer . We were getting closer my heart was beating so fast I thought that I was going to burst. I could feel his breath we were only inches apart . I really thought that this was when he was going to kiss me . Then when my phone started to buzz in my pocket. Nate quickly stepped back from me and bent down to get my books that were laying on the stairs I saw a little bit of his red face as I dug my phone out of my pocket. I was sure that my face was as red as a tomato. I turned my phone off as Nate handed me my books. I was so embarrassed that I did not know what to say.
"Thanks for getting my books" I said
"No problem we should get back to class" Nate said
"Yes we should" I said.
