AUTHOR'S NOTE: I worked on these chapters since I last uploaded (yesterday) I'm not waiting for reviews (they would help but oh well). ENJOY!
Earlier…
"Luke!" Charity yelled, running to catch up with him.
Luke looked over his shoulder and then turned and walked faster.
"Luke!" Charity exclaimed again. She ran a little bit and grabbed his arm. He stopped and turned. "Look at me."
Luke turned and looked at her. "Ok," he said. "I'm looking at you."
"What's up?" she asked. "Why were you freaking out in class?"
"You were there in my dream, weren't you?"
"Yeah, but—"
"Then you know that I like you!"
"It's not like I was intentionally getting into your dream," she said.
"But you were there," he replied. "It was true. I do have feelings for you, Charity." He walked over and sat down on the steps.
"But why are you freaking out Luke?" She walked over and sat down next to him.
"Because I know girls like you," he replied. "I'm not your type. You would never like nerds like me."
"You met me a couple of weeks ago and you already 'know' me?" she asked. She shook her head. "You don't know me at all, Luke."
He looked at her. "What are you saying?"
"I'm saying, Luke," she said, "that I don't have a 'type'. I like a guy for who they are as a person. Not what clique they fall in."
Luke sighed. "I'm sorry, Charity," he replied.
"Don't be," she said. "You just thought you knew me." She looked at him. "I like you as a friend and I thought you liked me that way, too, but when I saw the way you looked at me in your dream I just thought—friendship wasn't right for us."
"So what you're saying is that you want to be my girlfriend?"
She shrugged. "It'd be kind of weird," she said. "We live in the same house now."
"I'll move out to the car," he joked.
She smiled and turned away. They both worked as office aides (Helen's idea) this block they weren't going to be late for any class.
"What?" Luke asked.
"I can't believe my first kiss was in a dream," she said.
"Your first kiss?"
She smiled and nodded.
He grinned. "I'm honored to be your first kiss," he replied.
"Why?" she asked. "You haven't kissed me yet."
Luke looked at her and then leaned in and kissed her. She pressed her lips against his and reached up and touched his face. He slid his arms around her waist. They heard someone clear their throat and they pulled away and looked at Joan who was standing in front of them with a hall pass. "Should I go some other way?" she asked.
Charity and Luke both blushed. "Sorry," they said. Luke stood up and helped Charity up.
"Let's go see if mom has something to do for us," he replied. Charity nodded and they took off.
Joan smiled. Wow, she can't believe that she actually caught her brother making out with a girl that she could actually stand. I mean, she could stand Grace but Glenice (sp?)…no way! She grinned and delivered her message to its destination and then ran back to class.
