The following morning came just as quickly as yesterday went. Her alarm went off at precisely 6:00 am and Amy jumped out of bed. Her cheerful mood had not yet worn off and her luck had become better and better in the last couple days.

I was amazed at how one boy could change my life. One day was just another rotten day and the next was filled with joy.

She walked down the bright hall, into her bathroom and applied her makeup to her face, like she had done yesterday. She went back into her room, got dressed and went down to the kitchen for breakfast.
When she finished her breakfast, she placed her bowl in the dishwasher and made her way to the downstairs bathroom. When she was finished washing her face, she turned off the light and went to ask her parents for their car keys.
"Mom, can I have the car keys to the Vovlo?"
"Yeah, sure honey, what for?" she asked as she wrestled Mikey in her arms.
"I have a doctor's appointment today and I need to drive myself in."
"Okay dear. They are on the kitchen counter."
She went back into the kitchen, fetched the car keys and grabbed her book bag that she would need for school after her appointment.
The morning air was brisk as she set foot outside her front door and it was still quite dark out. The sun had not yet risen completely over the horizon.
She got in the '00 Volvo and started the ignition. Her appointment was at 7:30 am and it was now 7:00 am.
She was most of the way to her appointment when traffic stopped her. About two miles ahead of her, there was a car accident, not serious, just a fender-bender, but none the less, a car accident.
The road was mostly blocked off and traffic moved slowly. Everything was all cleared up in about five minutes and she arrived for her physical about five minutes early.
She walked down the hall and stopped just outside the elevator. She pressed the button and it flashed on.
She stood outside the elevator, leaning against the wall.
Finally, the elevator rang two minutes later and the doors opened. She stood to one side as the walking occupant pushed the disabled occupant out of the elevator in a wheelchair.
When they were finally out, she stepped in and pushed the button to bring her up to the third floor.
The elevator rung every level it went up and then opened the doors to let her out.
She stepped out and walked towards the secretary's window.
"I have a 7:30 appointment with Dr. Salizar."
"Let's see here....ahhh yes. Dr. Salizar is running behind schedule this morning, there will be an additional hours' wait before he will be able to see you."
"Oh man" she said quietly to herself.
"Excuse me?"
"Oh nothing...ummm, that'll be fine."
"Okay, have a seat then" said the receptionist.
She turned around, away from the receptionist and took a seat in the far corner of the waiting room.
She picked up an old, tattered magazine that looked like it had been read several hundred times and read it to occupy herself.
She flipped to the first page and she saw a health article on, but really she couldn't expect anything else being that she was in a doctor's office, a disease called bulimia. She started to read:
Bulimia is an eating disorder that is characterized by episodes of overeating and then usually followed by vomiting or purges. This disorder allows excessive amounts of eating without any weight gain. The eating habits of that person are usually abnormal and they are usually aware of it as well. The behavior of the person is usually secretive but can be detected by peculiar eating habits and frequent weighing. The enamel of the patient's teeth is usually worn away from the frequent amounts of acid washed over them.
As she finished reading to herself, she began to think about herself in comparison to the article. She shut it and picked up another magazine.
She had just barely picked up that magazine when her name was called. She looked over at the clock and it was an hour later.
"I must have occupied myself thinking about that article more than reading it" she thought to herself.
She followed the nurse into an exam room and sat on the table as she waited for Dr. Salivar.
The nurse started by weighing her, taking her height and then her blood pressure. She scribbled down some numbers on the clipboard that she carried and then left the room, shutting the door behind her.
"The doctor will be in here shortly" she said as she left.
Amy nodded. She leaned her head against the wall behind her and the article began to run through her head.
"Grab a hold of yourself there" she thought to herself.
Her thoughts then moved to Antonio. She started to think about the way he treated her and the way he looked when he leaned against the lockers near hers. All her feelings about him flowed back into her heart and suddenly she was happy again.
Suddenly the door creaked open and the doctor walked in.
"Hello there Amy."
"Hi Dr. Salivar"
"How are you? What have you been up to?"
"I'm good."
"I see you have grown in the last year. Blood pressure looks good, weight's normal."
"Have you been having any problems? Or is everything good?"
"Nope, I've been fine."
"Okay then. I'm going to send you down to the lab to get some blood tests."
"Okay."
With that, he handed her a sheet to hand to the technician.
She walked out the door and made her way to the lab. She gave the technician the sheet and she took her to a room. The nurse told her to sit down and she began to get her materials ready to draw blood.
She wrapped a rubber band tightly around her arm and pricked her skin. She very easily found the vein and attached the tube that would fill the vial. The blood flowed out of her arm fast and the nurse filled three vials full of blood.
The nurse applied pressure to where the needle entered her skin and placed a band-aid over it.
"You're all done!"
Amy grabbed her things and the technician led her back to the waiting room. She was on her way as the nurse brought her blood to another room.
She walked out into the semi-warm air. The sun beating down on the Earth took the chill off and there was no wind, nor a cloud in the sky.
She drove herself back to school and parked outside of the school at the McDonalds parking lot. She walked into the school, signed in and went to lunch.
She found Antonio sitting at his normal table and she snuck up behind him.
She put her hand over his eyes and, "GUESS WHO!"
"Ahhhh! Amy!"
He turned around and his glowing eyes stared into hers that were hidden behind her glasses.
He stood up and they walked back to their own secluded table.
"I thought you said you were going to be back before lunch?"
"I did. The doctor's office was a bit backed up and I had to wait an extra hour. Sorry."
"No, it's alright. I just wondered where you were. I'm glad you're here."
She could feel her cheeks blush again and she faced her head downwards as she stared at her lunch.
She played with her food for a second or two and he grabbed her chin.
He pulled it up so he could look at her and he moved closer to her. His hand slid up onto her cheek and his thumb massaged her cheek lightly. His face moved closer to hers and she saw him shut his eyes. She did the same and in seconds his lips were on hers. They kissed for on a second or two, but she knew he meant it.
He pulled away, realizing that she may not be ready for it yet, that she may not trust him enough yet.
"I'm sorry" he said as he looked away
"No no, it's okay, really" she said with a wide smile on her face and he turned back to her.
He looked back into her eyes and he put his arm around her shoulder.
After lunch, he walked her to class and gave her a hug.
She stepped in the doorway and he turned to go to his class. She took a step backwards and her eyes were drawn uncontrollably to his ass. She smiled and stepped back into her class room and took a seat.
At the end of the day, he met her at her locker and he took her home in his Mustang.
She did her homework straight away when she got home and then she called him on the phone.
They talked for about an hour and then he had to go.
She slept peacefully that night, similar to the last few nights, and so did Antonio. A huge smile was planted on his face as he drifted off to sleep...
