Chapter Eight
"Little Moments"
Tuesday afternoon, Gordon Bombay was strolling through the supermarket, trying to find something for dinner that night, when he saw a woman pushing a cart in front of him. A woman who looked an awful lot like…"Casey." He breathed.
"Casey!" He called.
The woman turned around, the ring on her left hand catching the light. Bombay winced at the sight of it.
"Casey Conway?" He asked as he approached her.
She smiled. "Well, if it isn't Gordon Bombay. Charlie told me you were in town."
Gordon grinned. "Yah, I just can't stay away from those kids."
"Yah, Charlie really misses you when you're gone." Casey said.
There was a moment of awkward silence, finally broken by Bombay. "Yah, so I was talking to him and he said the funniest thing. That you were getting married."
Casey didn't laugh at his attempt at a joke. "Gordon…" She began.
He nodded. "Well, I'm happy for you. Now if you'll excuse me, I must be going."
Casey stood, watching him go. She sighed sadly as she continued her shopping.
Gordon sighed, once he was out of her sight. How stupid could he be? Had he honestly thought she would spend the years pining for him?
Ken wandered through Eden Hall's huge library, searching for a book for his science report. He was completely surprised when he came upon Clarice Snow reaching for the exact book he needed. She looked at him and smiled. At him!
"Hey Ken." She knew his name?
"H-how do y-you know my name?" Ken asked confused.
"You are in my math class, you know." Clarice giggled.
He swallowed, feeling stupid. "Oh, right."
He stared at the book in her hands, she glanced down at it as well. "Oh, do you need this?" She asked.
Ken nodded. "Yah, for my science report."
Clarice smiled. "Well, maybe we can share it."
Then she headed to a table and patted the seat next to her. Ken walked as if in a daze. He could hardly believe he had spoken to her, let alone sharing a book with her. The other Ducks would never believe it!
Dwayne stood across the hall from the coke machine, watching Amy, the pretty blonde he'd been talking to, get a drink. He was debating on asking her out. Luis thought he had a chance but he was still unsure. What would a pretty girl like her want with some country boy from Texas? You'll never know until you ask. A voice badgered him. He decided to do it because if he didn't, Russ would never let him live it down.
"Hey Amy?" He asked.
She turned and smiled at him. "Yes, Dwayne?"
He kicked the ground with the toe of his boot. "Well, I was wondering if maybe you'd like to, uh, go out, um, sometime?" He stuttered.
Amy's face broke out into a smile. "I would love to, Dwayne Robertson."
Dwayne's' eyes lit up. "Yee-haw! Did you hear that?" He yelled.
Amy just laughed as she hooked her arm in his and headed down the hall.
Luis and Maria were in his dorm room, watching a movie and stealing kisses every now and then.
"Luis?" Maria asked.
"Yah?"
"I've had fun tonight."
Luis grinned. "Me too, Maria."
She snuggled closer to him and tilted her head up for a kiss. Luis was quick to oblige. The kiss was long and sweet.
Maria sighed. "I love you." She murmured.
Luis immediately pulled back. "What?"
Maria smiled shyly. "I love you, Luis."
He just stared dumbfounded.
Suddenly, Maria looked nervous. "Um.. Luis, it would be great if you'd say something."
Luis stood up. "Um… I gotta go." He said, sprinting towards the door, completely forgetting it was his dorm room.
"Luis!" She called but he was already gone. Maria burst into tears. What had she done wrong?
