August
It took a lot for me to ask out Edward, and when he simply stood there, staring, for too long, not saying anything, I took it as rejection and started to walk away. He grabbed my arm to stop me and asked, "Are you serious?" When I answered, "Yes," the smile on his face was huge.
I was so nervous the night of our first date that I almost threw up three times before he got to my dorm to pick me up. When Bree pointed out that he'd said he was nervous about our date on Facebook, it started to make me feel a little better. Maybe he did like me as much as I liked him? Or maybe he was just nervous because he had never dated anyone else. Maybe it was too soon.
That was two weeks ago, and now the nerves, for both of us, had dissipated. We both looked forward to the time we could spend together during the day, in our shared class, and of course on our dates. All of our friends teased us about how long we had been "dancing around each other," but we didn't see it that way. To us, we had been building a solid foundation; one that would create a structure secure enough to sustain a lasting relationship.
We still made time to meet up with Alec, and with baseball season in full swing, a lot of fun was had attending games. Well, the home games; Edward still had to travel with the team a lot. Those were the hardest times for us both; only having text and Skype to talk to each other.
School this summer term was thankfully easy; I had only taken two classes, so there wasn't much time I had to spend on homework.
Still, I couldn't wait for fall term to start up again and bring back all of the people I was missing. Alice, Rose, and I had a couple of chats about stuff we'd like to do once we all got together again. I was really looking forward to spending more time with them this year. Having only met them a couple times, I was anxious to get to know them better. Plus, they'd both known Edward for years, and I could only imagine the stories they'd be able to share. Edward, on the other hand, wasn't looking forward to that portion. He told me he'd had a particularly awkward stage when he was thirteen. I was hoping they had pictures.
A/N: Some minor changes made to this one too... cause continuity I hate you :p I love Missy, Mid, Annie and Kenny though! And you guys for reading!
