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.
