Today was amazing, you think to yourself. The only bad thing was that you were asleep during class and muttering, 'Syrus,' repeatedly under your breath. Also, you were drooling! At dinner, you sat alone, of course. Bedtime was a breeze with you. You let tonight fly by. In your dream, you were dueling a masked stranger in public. You look around the audience. You see Jaden, enthusiastically cheering you on, but no Syrus. This dream was turning into a nightmare. You were getting creamed! As the duel continues, you realize that there is no way you can win this. You sit on your legs, crying (this was a dream so this loss was really devastating.) Then the masked stranger comes down but you run away. A dead end! He'll get you now! Then he takes off his mask revealed...it's Syrus! How could he? With a sweet cooing voice, he tells you to wake up. Then you find out it wasn't Syrus waking you up, it was Jaden! 'You really have a cooing voice, Jaden?'
'You might have just been dreaming it, Karla.' Then, you start searching for Syrus. As you walk with your heavy legs, it seems that you want to plan something special for him. Something away from where anyone knows. Something at night so it doesn't interfere with anything else. A campfire! Of course! It's so obvious! I'm going to tell him tonight! you think. But how am I going to tell him! You blush whenever you speak to him, and, and, and...

Syrus Truesdale is so cute.

He's the only thing you can think about.

'So, do you want to go out somewhere tomorrow? Then he'd probably say no, so I'd say...' you tell yourself as you walk around in the dirt. Then you feel a tap on the shoulder. It's Syrus. Once again you're stuck on what to say, especially since you're ankle deep in a donut shape you made with your feet in the dirt. As you struggle out, you, once again, say, 'Hi.' Then, 'Syrus Truesdale.'
Then out loud, 'Come on, you're not scared of this guy. Just ask him and you'll be fine.'
'Ask me what?' Syrus asked. This is bad, you think to yourself. Then, you scream at the top of your lungs, 'I'M GOING TO ASK YOU ABOUT THE CAMPFIRE I WANT TO GO ON WITH YOU, SO PLEASE SAY YES, SYRUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' With loud deep breaths and realizing you shouldn't have done that, he stands there, shocked. He then says, 'Karla, there's no need to shout at me like that.' This is embarrassing! First, you make a stupid hole in the ground, then you shout at the top of your voice, and now, you're blushing! 'Are you okay?' Syrus asks you in a devastating tone. 'Your face is really red and you're burning up!' Then, you think, I guess it's okay if Syrus takes care of...

'Are you okay?' You hear Syrus even though everything seems black. Then you see him and your surroundings. You're back in your dorm! Then you are left with a light feeling that you fainted in his hands.
'You were in no condition at all to be standing up. Your face was red then you suddenly collapsed. Luckily I caught you.' Hey Karla, your mind tells you, you weren't sick at all! You were just feeling faint! Then you say, 'Eh, babaloo?' You stare at Syrus, whose face is now confused. There is nothing more to say to him.
'I've got one thing to say to you. You're starting to cool down, and I'd be happy to go to your little outing.' Your face is paler now.
'Wasn't that two things?' you ask, counting on your fingers.
'It doesn't matter,' Syrus tells you.

You spend all afternoon correcting your message. On the front, it says, 'Special Message. To: Syrus Truesdale. Subject: Details about the campfire.' Inside it says, 'Original Text. Syrus, meet me at the donut shape I made while walking repeatedly in the dirt. When: Tomorrow night. 8:30 sharp. RSVP: Before tonight by 9:00. See me there, or Ill cancel it. Date will be modified if bad weather commences.' It was written on yellow paper and put in a ruby red envelope with golden writing on it. You hide the note under the door to his room. But you see him coming! You quickly hide but he sees you waiting on the roof. (You got up there somehow.) He picks up the note and says, 'Huh. Karla again.' Then you drop down on him. You weren't that heavy so you commenced by saying, 'I was just hangin' and then I...' you just think fast, 'just dropped in, or maybe just dropped on you.'
'I guess that's a small explanation. Can you get up please? You're crushing my lungs,' Syrus exclaims, rather than shouting. Then, you jump up.
'So, is it a date?' you say, hoping Syrus would say, 'It's a date.'
'So, is it whatchamawhat?' Syrus says unexpectedly.
'You were meant to say, "It's a date, Sy."'
'And I said that to see how you'd react,' Syrus confesses. Then he says that he will go.
'So long, Karla Ashton,' Syrus says.
'So long, Syrus Truesdale,' you exclaim since you were further than he was.
