Chapter 11
Late December 1899
"Are you ready for exams today?" David asked as he jogged up to a young woman. She turns her head and smiles.
"Why of course!" She said. Her deep brown hair blew in the wind and her brown eyes smiled back at David. David smiled at the young woman in front of him and his heart jumped in his chest. "It is you who should be nervous for exams David. If you do not pass, you will never get a teaching license." Rebecca said.
"I know." David said looking at the ground. "I studied all night last night. I know I'll pass!" David said with a smile. Rebecca smiled back at him.
"You mean, 'you know you will pass'." Rebecca corrected. David began to laugh and soon Rebecca could not help herself. As they walked up the stairs to school David slipped his hand into Rebecca's, startled, Rebecca wrenched her hand away. "David, not here!" Rebecca urged with quietly.
"Why are we trying to hide? Your father can't see us here." David said. Rebecca pulled David into a classroom and shut the door.
"People talk, especially about me. I am not ashamed of this; do not even think it for a second. I love you David. Let's just wait until you have your teaching license. Then we can practically be together." Rebecca said holding both of David's hands. David looked at the ground.
"I know," David said in a solemn tone. Rebecca stepped onto her toes and gave David a quick kiss.
"I love you," She said. David smiled and kissed her cheek.
"I love you too," David said.
"Now, wait here a few moments. We do not want to be the scandal of the year." Rebecca said playfully before leaving David in the room alone.
I know... I haven't updated in forever and have left you all hanging! So sorry!
BUT! The good news is that I am on spring break! WHOOOT!
SO there will be a lot of writing and creativeness coming out this week! :)
Look for it! :)
