Chapter 7- A day never to forget
I was so happy of what happened between me and Craig the other day. I guess he trusts me now...or I could just be his rebound..but I well I would prefer he trusts me. But ever since then he was the only thing on my mind...and I really wanted us to go to the Dot together to get some smoothies but English was taking to long.
"So Mannuela what happened in the fifth chapter of the story My Brother Sam is Dead ?" Mrs. Kwan asked. I couldn't hear her I was in a daze of me and Craig "Hello Mannuela" she repeated again Then Emma nudged me I hate when she does that. "Craig Manning" I replied some people started laughing well manly everyone except for me Emma and Mrs. Kwan. "Mannuela I know you think that boys are the only thing right now but keep that to your self. " Mrs. Kwan said and turning back to the board and writing crap no one understood down. Craig Manning the name was so sexy so hot...I just loved saying. It wouldn't stop popping into my head no matter how hard I tried to think of that dumb book we read.
Finally class was over and Craig was at his locker. I won't asked stupid like in 8th grade when I was going fast on him and I won't be committing any sins because I mean he doesn't have a girlfriend...wait shoot....I have J.T...that's next on my list. So I walk up to Craig "Hey Craig...how was your day mine was great..even though Mrs. Kwan hadn't taken her chill pill...so um...today how about we go to the Dot and get some smoothies it's on me....o.k...that would be great..." I said..shoot I couldn't stop talking. "Um..Manny.." he started "Oh and you know what happened yesterday it's o.k...I won't tell like I said I can keep a secret even though before you thought that I had told Ashley that we were together when I told you..." I stooped my self I always talk allot when I'm nervous. "So yeah how about some smoothies." I asked "Ash...I mean Manny I can't." he said.."What is there another girl because if there is I totally am going to go punch them right now...you want to break up don't you even though we never were going out... I mean we were friends and I thought we could be...Craig how could you? " I said I was really nervous "Manny why are you nervous?" he asked "I'm not nervous why would I be nervous" I said "Of course I am nervous are you kidding me I am talking to the hottest guy on Earth I men I just want to rub oil all over his body...." Shit I did it again I really have to learn how to talk in my head "Um..I'm going to pretend I didn't hear anything." Craig said. I looked at him "I..I...mean..I was thinking...and...the...it..came out of my mouth" I said slowly "I'm sorry" I was nervous and I just blew it I blew it I always blow it. I stood there in silence for about 2 minuets o.k. more like 2 seconds and then I ran..I just embarrassed my self "Manny wait..." Craig said running after me...I stopped at the park because I was to tired to run and it was like 40 degrees outside and my coat was slowing me down.
"Manny" Craig said out of breath "The reason I couldn't go to the Dot with you was because..." Craig said I walked over to the swing I didn't' want to hear it...I didn't' want to hear the whole we are just meant to be friends thing...I herd it enough from to many guys. I sat on the swing and pushed my feet back and forth in the wood chips. "Gee you run a lot" he said sitting next to me on the the other swing. "Craig.." I said looking at the ground "It's o.k. you don't have to tell me the whole we should just be friends thing I understand" I said tears coming down my cheeks . He lifted my head with his finger "God your pretty even when you cry" he said I pulled my face away "Craig stop your only making it worse for me." I said "Manny I said can't go to the Dot with you today because I don't want to rush into anything..." he said here it comes the we should be friends. "But..with you there are some acceptations." he said I could tell he was smiling because I felt the Craig vibes I started to smile myself. This was the first time that Craig ever asked me out. I wiped my tears "Your not playing a joke on me are you?" I said Craig got on one knee and pulled out a box from his pocket "Mannuela Santos...born August 15, 1989...who's favorite color is pink..and best friend...is Emma Nelson..." he said with a smile "Yes Yes" I said "Will you be my girlfriend." he asked opening the box. it was a beautiful Tiffany bracelet I don't know how he could afford it but it was really cute. "Yes I will Craig Manning" I said while jumping on him and pushing him to the ground. we kissed and then just laied there me in his arms the way we were sup post to be years ago when I was in 8th grade...and now I didn't have to go for what I wanted he came to me...and I was happy and in love. "I love you Manny." he said kissing my forehead "I love you to Craig" I said snuggling in with him.
