The Notebook

"Chase will you take this pass to room 405 in the Math building?" Miss Leslie said waking him up from a short-lived nap. He got up and took the pass.

"Ah...sure."

Chase walked all the way to the Math building up four flights of stairs and into a pre-calculas class. Well, he was about to walk into the class when he saw Zoey and Todd laughing and holding hands, their desks facing each other. Chase's heart sank. He thought that Zoey was over Todd. He thought that...

"Chase?" Zoey spotted him looking into the window with his mouth slightly agape.

Chase walked in than, smiled a tight lipped smile at Zoey and gave her a small wave. He was sweating and was sure that his face was beat red. He just wanted to hand the lady the pass and get out of there. He handed the pass to the Pre-Calculas teacher, Ms. Lesnick. She smiled and said thank you. As Chase was walking out, a gourgeous popular girl snickered and than called out,"Hey Cutie!" That brought out a rise of equally annoying snickers. Chase gave them a confused look and before rushing out he tripped over his own feet.

Chase walked silently into his teacher's room and sat back down staring with a blank look into space. Hannnah gently tapped him on the shoulder,"Are you alright?"

Chase looked at Hannah, suddenly remembering she was there," Oh. Uh yeah I'm just you know...tired."

"Tired," Hannah repeated knowing him well enough that this wasnt about being tired.

"Yeah," Chase said. Suddenly Chase remembered his last entry in the Notebook.

But anyway, I'm free on next Saturday the fourth of November. I was thinking maybe if your free we could hang out at the movies and than have dinner or something? Let me know.

He pulled that sheet of paper out of the book and tossed it into the trash bin.

"Um...I take it that pass didn't work out so well," Hannah said gently.

"Yeah remind me to never take a pass to room 405 ever again," Chase said after a short silence.

Hannah wrote that down in her notebook,"Ok I'll remember!" She smiled at him and that got a small smile out of him. "Why was it so awful? Did you trip over someone's books again?"

"Yep, that and I saw Zoey with her old boyfriend, Todd. Gosh I thought they broke up. I thought she liked me. I am such an idiot," Chase started rambling before he even realized who he was rambling to,"Oh gosh you were not supposed to know that!"

"What?" Hannah asked.

"That I like Zoey!" Chase said and than smacked himself on the forehead,"Oh crap I did it again."

Hannah's smile faded,"Oh... So you like Zoey?"

"Not anymore. You know what? I need to realize that she will never love me in the way that I love her. Friends. That's all we'll ever be," Chase said. He wasn't feeling sad, really. More like confused. Yes, very confused.

"And it didn't help that that girl was obviously making fun of me," He continued on.

"What are you talking about?" Hannah asked.

"Some girl goes, 'hey cutie' and than she and her friends started giggling. That just made the awkwardness even worse," Chase said.

"And why is that a bad thing?"

"Because they were obviously making fun of me. I'd make fun of me. My face was red and I was sweating up enough sweat to give water to the entire country of Denmark," Chase said.

"Well... if they were making fun of you I think they are pretty dumb because you are the sweetest, CUTEST, guy I have ever met," Hannah said, blushing.

Chase looked at her and smiled. She smile back. She was really pretty and very nice. That was when he realized that he had feelings for Hannah,"Hannah?"

"Yes?"

"Do you wanna hang out and go see a movie or something Friday night?"

Hannah smiled,"I'd love to."

Zoey-

Well I have some wonderful news for you. I like Hannah. I like Hannah alot. She and I are going to go out this next friday. Yea! She really is awesome.
