Authors notes: I would like to thank everyone for their feedback.
It was February 8th, and Landon Carter was 18 again.
"This can't be happening." He told himself in shock,"The fucking wish worked."
He paced back and forth around his room,before deciding that the only thing he could do
was go to school,and then later try and figure out how to reverse the wish. A part of him
didn't want to go back though. He had Jamie here, and he could be with her, without all
the complications that they had before.
So Landon picked out a white wife beater, a black button up shirt over it, and a
pair of jeans.
After doing finishing touches to his hair he decided he was ready to go.
"Hey mom."Landon said coming down the stairs.
"Well, don't you look sharp today. Trying to impress someone."his mother asked.
"Maybe."
"And who would this lucky woman be?"
"It's a secret."
"Ok, I don't want to be one of those mother's who but's into her children's life's. But tell
me this, will I like her?"
"You'll love her."
*Cut to School*
Landon stood at his by Jamie's locker practicing what he was going to say when he
saw her.
"Jamie, hey what's going on? Jamie! Hey, you look good. No. Shit!"
Landon kicked the locker hard wincing in pain.
"Now, what did my locker ever do to deserve that?"someone behind him asked,and he
automatically knew who it was.
"Hey Jamie."He said suddenly very nervous.
"What do you want Landon?"She asked with a scared tone in her voice.
"Can't two people talk to each other in a civilized manner?"
"I've known you for years. You've never been the first one to come up and say hello."
"I just wanted to know how your doing."
"I'm fine. Now, if you don't mind I have a test next, and I don't want to be late for it."
"Ok."Jamie started to walk away, and Landon called out, "What's your number one?"
She froze in place and slowly turned around. When her eyes met his he could see tears
streaming down her cheek.
"What did you say?"Jamie said trying not to start crying hysterically.
"What's your number one?"
Landon walked over to her and wrapped her in a bear hug.
Jamie looked up at him once she was able to stop her tears and said,"If I tell you then I'd
have to kill you."
Landon let out a small laugh and kissed her on the forehead.
"So, you remember huh?"He asked.
"Yeah, It's like one minute I'm dead and the next I'm in bed at home being woke up by my
alarm clock."
The 5 minute bell rang and they both knew that if they didn't leave, they'd be late for class.
"What class do you have 2nd block?"Landon asked not wanting to let her go.
"Choir. I can't miss it, I'm doing a solo."
"How do you remember all this stuff?"
"It's in my organizer."
"Ahh, I've got to look into getting me one of those."
"They'll help, with your disorganized life."
They both laughed and Jamie took a peak at the clock, they only had 3 minutes left.
"We've really got to go."she told him playing with a button on his shirt.
"I know. I'll see you at lunch?"
"I can't wait."
Landon finally let her go and before she went off to her class she gave him a kiss,
"Something to remember me by."She told him,and gave him a half smile and Landon
smiled back.
As they walked to there classes, Eric and Tracy watched from down the hall in shock.
"Holy shit."Tracy cussed under her breath.
(Cut to Jamie's choir class)
As other's practiced there solo's Jamie wrote a note to Landon.
Landon,
Hi what's going on with you? I'm in Choir waiting for class to get over, but it feels
like it will never end. Well, I've got to go and perform my solo, so I guess I'm going to go.
Love you forever,
Jamie Sullivan (Carter)
"Jamie,"Her teacher called "are you coming?"
"Yes, Ms. Phillips."
Jamie stood in front of the class,by the piano and began to sing 'The Way we were' by
Barbra Streisand.
"Memories
Like the corners of my mind
Misty watercolor memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me - Would we? Could we?
Memories
May be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply to choose to forget
So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were
So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were."
Jamie stood still while the music finished. When it was all done someone stood at the door
clapping. She and her teacher turned to see Landon at the door.
"Ah, Mr.. Carter, let me guess. You're here to join the choir. "Ms. Phillips said sarcastically
"Not in the least. I wouldn't want to ruin the lovely sound. Especially your's Jamie. You
were beautiful."He told her.
Jamie blushed and told him,"Thank you."
"Landon, why are you disrupting my class?"
"I have a note for Jamie from the office."
Landon held the note out for Jamie to get. As her hand met his her eyes looked right into
his and it seemed as if they were saying 'I love you.' and her eyes told him 'I love you too.'
