ON WITH THE STORY!

Last Time on Matter of Time

"Oh Brian you're here. I was afraid you got lost on your way to Bradin's house and died," said Trinity in a sarcastic voice.

"Look I'm sorry. How can I make it up to you? Hmmm… how about going to the dance with me?" said Brian smirking.

"As much as I'd love to, I already have a date," replied Trinity rolling her eyes.

"Oh snap," replied Brian.

"Well we'll see ya girls later" replied Greg as he and the guys started walking away. Bradin turned to Trinity and gave her a smile. Trinity replied by returning the smile.

Chapter 7

"I'm home," exclaimed Trinity as she walked into her house.

"Hey honey," said Trinity's mother as she walked in to the kitchen.

"Oh, mom, I won't be home till 12:00p.m tomorrow," said Trinity.

"Oh and whys that?" asked her mother.

" 'Cause there's a dance tomorrow and I was planning to go with Destiny and Jaime," replied Trinity.

"Oh ok honey just make sure you have a ride home," replied her mother.

"Don't worry I'm catching a ride with Jaime and Destiny. Mom can I ask you something," asked Trinity.

"Ask away," said her mother.

"Ok well the theme of this dance is dress up and I don't have anything to dress up in. I really want something nice to wear since…this guy asked me to go with him. But I need a mask that goes with the costume and I was wondering if you had something really nice I could wear," replied Trinity.

Her mother just smiled. "Follow Me," she said as she walked up the stairs to her bedroom.

"I have the most perfect dress for you. I wore it to a ball I went to. Can I tell you a secret?" asked her mother as she looked through her closet. Trinity nodded.

" I met your father wearing this dress," admitted her mother. Trinity grinned from ear to ear.

"I found it!!!" exclaimed her mother. She pulled out a beautiful white gown. It was a strapless and it had beautiful diamonds going around the top. The bottom of the gown had sown on flower beads that gave it a beautiful pattern. The gown was just magnificent.

"Oh mom! It's beautiful!" exclaimed Trinity.

"I'm glad you like it. I think I have the matching sandals for it," said her mother as she pulled out a bow from inside the closet. Trinity lifted the lid gasped. The sandals were as beautiful as the dress. They had skinny black heels at the back and the straps of the sandals went a little over her ankles. The straps had beautiful diamonds.

"Oh thank you so much mom!" exclaimed Trinity as she hugged her mother.

"It's no problem sweet heart," said her mother.

"But I still need one more thing… a mask," said Trinity.

"Oh sweet heart that's not a problem. I still have my mask from when I was a little girl," replied Trinity's mother. She searched through some shoeboxes and finally found it. She handed it to Trinity.

The mask was pretty plain but it was beautiful. It would only cover half of her face. The outline of the mask had silver sparkles.

"Thank you so much mom!" said Trinity hugging her mom.

"Well I need to go downstairs and get dinner ready. If you need anything else just call me," said her mother as she walked out of the room. Trinity smiled at the dress. It was so beautiful.

"RRRRRIIIIINNNNGGGG," went Trinity's alarm clock. Trinity woke up in a pretty good mood that morning. She got out of bed and went to change in her washroom. She came out wearing a denim skirt and navy green tank. She put her hair in two separate pigtails. She grabbed her homework from her desk and stuffed it in her backpack .She then walked downstairs and saw her mother and father sitting at the kitchen table having a conversation.

"Good morning," said Trinity as she went over to the fridge.

"Good morning dear," said her father.

Suddenly a car horn honked outside their house. Trinity grabbed her bag and ran out. Jaime and Destiny were sitting in Jaime's car waiting for Trinity.

"Hey girlies! "Exclaimed Trinity as she hopped into the back.

"Hey. So do you have your costume for tomorrow?" asked Jaime.

"As a matter of fact I do. My mom gave me the most beautiful gown ever! It looks like something a princess would wear," exclaimed Trinity.

"Oh I can't wait to see it!" replied Destiny.

Within minutes the girls arrived at school. And this time they had no trouble finding a parking space.

"So Bradin when are you going to ask me to the dance?" asked Sarah as she walked up to his locker.

"Sarah! I'm not going to the dance with you!" exclaimed Bradin. Sarah just huffed.

'You will soon enough,' thought Sarah.

"Yo Bradin! Catch!" exclaimed Brian and Kona as they threw a football from the other end of the hallway. Bradin ran backwards to catch it.

"Touch down!" yelled Kona.

"Hey Bradin, you want to go to the dance with me?" asked some random girl.

"Uhhh…sorry but I'm already going with someone," replied Bradin. The girl walked away disappointed.

"Hey! I'm still free! You can go with me!" exclaimed Brian as he chased her down the hall. Kona and Bradin burst out laughing.

"So dude who you going with?" asked Kona.

"My mystery girl," replied Bradin.

Suddenly the bell rang and everyone hurried off the class.

"I'm starving!" exclaimed Jaime as she sat down on the picnic table where all the girls were gathered.

"Hey ladies," said Greg as he approached the group of girls. Hey received a few 'Hey' 'how's it going'.

"Greg do you have food?" asked Jaime.

"Yeah catch," said Greg as he threw a Twinkie at Jaime. Jaime's eyes lit up.

"Thank you so much Greg! I'll love you forever!" she exclaimed with a mouth full of Twinkies in her mouth.

"So Greg what are you going as tomorrow?" asked Trinity.

"Me? I'm going as Tarzan, exclaimed Greg. The girls laughed.

"Well I'll see you chicks later," said Greg as he got up and left.

"So Destiny, why so quiet? It's not like you," winked Trinity. Destiny bit her lip.

"Umm… well you see…I kind of like… Greg," she said turning away. All the girls at the table shrieked causing some weird stares their way.

"No way!" exclaimed Jenny.

"Aww you two would make the cutest couple!" exclaimed Tina.

"I can't believe you didn't tell us," exclaimed Jaime who was practically choking on her Twinkie.

"Well I did now," said Destiny blushing. Trinity gave her a hug.

The girls continued talking and laughing. When the bell went everyone rushed back to class.

Trinity was in her last class of the day. English. The teacher was reading them a quote from a book. Trinity sat at her seat bored to death. She looked around and saw Brian trying to make a house out of paper. She let out a silent giggle.

"Okay class I will now be collecting your group essay's that were suppose to be due today," said their teacher when she was done reading the quote.

When she got to Bradin she glanced over at Brian.

"Mr. Smith I hope you did some work on this project and didn't just leave Miss. Conner and Mr. Westerly doing the whole project on their own," said their teacher as she lowered her glasses.

"No Mrs. Riley," gulped Brian. Bradin and Trinity sent him glares. Brian just smiled at them sheepishly.

"Now class we will be starting…." The sound of the teacher speaking drowned out of Trinity's mind. She sighed and laid her head on her palm. She again looked around the class. She saw Karen writing a love note to Keith who waited impatiently to receive Karen's love not. She moved her gaze over to Timmy and Jordan who threw spitballs at each other every time the teacher's back was turned. Trinity rolled her eyes. She turned to Bradin and saw him writing something onto paper. She suddenly got curious as to what he was writing so she leaned her head a bit closer to him to read what he had been writing. She saw a poem being written onto his paper.

I want to thank you for finding me.
For loving and caring and for helping me see.
All the beautiful things found in life.
Like the dream of one day being your guy

Hours feel like seconds.
A year feels like a day.
Because when I'm with you.
Minutes just fly away.

After Trinity had finished reading his poem she smiled. 'Who knew Bradin could be so sweet' she thought to herself. Finally the bell went. She got up and grabbed her books and walked out of the classroom.
