WEDNESDAY, FEB. 5th
BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP.
I groaned and rolled into a sitting position. Another wonderful morning. Sarcasm. Yeah.
I yawned into the back of my hand as I glanced towards the table. I grinned in delight at the newest additions; a third rose and a heart-shaped box of chocolates, and the somehow, silver shavings had been engrained into the vase. The vase's crystal had already been very pretty, but the sparkles made the whole room shine.
I crawled out of bed and made my way to the box of chocolates. I wouldn't eat them until I was sure that they hadn't been poisoned, but they looked so perfect that I almost didn't want to eat them! Almost. I was sure they were foreign, but the chocolates didn't match the box. The box had to be hand-made. And the chocolates were perfectly square with decorative lines in a perfect pattern. I almost thought they were fake! But they weren't.
I got ready for school, smiling every time I glanced at my Dumpty Humpty t-shirt and the growing pile of gifts. I met the boys at the corner, and we walked to school like we did every morning. When Tucker was too focused on his PDA to notice, Danny asked if we could hang out at his place tonight. I said 'yes,' because, well, he's my crush so of course I wanted to spend more time with him.
Danny still opened doors and carried my books for me, and a ultra-recyclo-vegetarian cook book came tumbling out of my locker. The whole day just seemed more special.
Danny and I had a good time. He still opened doors for me, and he even carried my snacks up to his room. We played the Special Edition of Doomed that had been created for Valentine's Day. It was funny to see Danny trying to beat the Love Trolls, little pink and red monsters that tried to hug you to death. No joke.
Strange thing was, Jazz kept winking at Danny whenever she saw him. I let it go as some weird brother-sister thing, but it insisted on staying in the back of my mind.
Danny walked me home and opened the door to let me into my own house. And I went to bed once again, almost wanting to get up again. Almost.
