A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in a long time. I've been pretty busy with school and projects -_- Btw, Merry Christmas and I hope you enjoy this new chapter

Wow, yesterday really felt like a big dream for me. I just don't believe this happened to me; it was all just unexpected and right now my life feels like it has turned upside down. I love this great feeling inside me, you know? But wait, am I falling for Taylor? He's just something and someone special I can't get out of my head. I keep constantly thinking about him and how I already met his parents yesterday. Bu, the question is, does he have the same feelings for me? Is he falling for me and is he constantly thinking of me? I hope so and-

"Ms. Stubbs, I asked you a question. Do you have your health homework?" Mrs. Vantrez said to me who rudely interupped my thinking thoughts.

Thinking back to reality, I answered, "Sorry, no. I forgot to do it."

She sighed and said, "Marie, you have another day to complete that assignment. I'm only giving you one day, which is only tomorrow." I nodded and Mrs. Vantrez went back to the front of the class to continue her lesson. I looked over at Taylor and saw that he was looking right back at me. At that instant, I felt this feeling again. He smiled a smile that said, good luck. I smiled back and looked away. The class continued on until it was nutrition time. The bell rang and I gathered up my stuff and when I exited the class, Taylor was there waiting for me.

"So, you need to do your health homework missy," he said. We both walked to the outside area of the school to where me and Taylor always hanged out. Most of the time,Taylor and I hanged out during nutrition and during lunch, we hanged out with our friends.

I sighed and said, "Yeah, well I was pretty busy yesterday if you know what I mean." He smiled at that and said, "I can tutor you your health homework if you want." Wow, he thought I was stupid. I don't need his help for every class. But I knew he was just joking.

I playfully pushed him and said, "Hah! I don't need your tutoring. I'm smart you know?" He snorted at that and said, "Sure."

I looked at him and just smiled. We both got to our spot where there wasn't really nobody there. It just peace and quiet. We could hear the birds chirping and how the air smelled good. Well excuse, the polluted air of course. Anyway, we both sat down on the green grass and looked at the view we had. It was a view of the mountains from afar. How you can see that there was snow on the mountains and how the weather was perfect.

"So, today is Wednesday. I get to come over to your house and tutor you," Taylor said to me.

"Yeah, I know that," I said.

"Hey, is there something wrong?" He seemed to noticed that I was thinking about something.

"Oh, hah. I was just thinking of something. It's really nothing important." I explained to him. But it didn't look like he was convinced. He poked me on my side of the stomach. He knew that was my ticklish spot and always poked me there to spill out what I was keeping in my inner thoughts.

"Taylor!" I shouted and laughed.

"Marie, tell me! You're thinking of something and you're not telling me!" He said. He continued to poke me on my side until he fully tickled me on my stomach. Now I was super ticklish and was laughing hysterically.

"Tay-taylor! Stop it! Oka-okay, I-I give up!" I explained with laughtered. Ugh, what a butt head, I thought. He stopped tickling me and I sat up from the grass.

"Now, tell me what was on your mind." Taylor said to me. I sighed and just decided to tell him what I was thinking.

"I think-" I started, but thankgoodness, the bell rang. "I think I'll tell you later!" I exclaimed happily. I got up fast and started to walk to Geometry. I heard Taylor laughing behind me and said, "Sure you will. You better Marie or it's round 2 for tickle showdown."

"We'll see!" I said happily.

Geometry, 4th Period

We made our way to Geometry and entered the class. Taylor and I sat next to each other in this class and plus, he needed to help me with my worksheet Mr. Alien always gave. It was always a routine. Lesson, then worksheets. After the lesson he gave us about measuring about shapes, which I didn't get in my dumb brain. A girl from my class, named Ashley walked up from behind and tapped him on his shoulder. She made a weird noise from her mouth, which made me turn around.

"Hey! I'm Ashley. I was wondering if you wanted to sit with me back there with my friends," She pointed to a group of 2 girls sitting in their desks, smiling at Taylor. I don't know why, but I suddenly felt a urge of jealously. Taylor looked at me, then looked at the 2 girls, and then looked up at Ashley. "No thanks," Taylor said with a smile on his face. The 2 girls smile suddenly faded away and started to look mad. I looked up at Ashley and saw the same facial expression plastered on her face. I laughed a little and she looked at my direction.

"What are you laughing at?" Ashley said to me with a glare.

"Oh, nooothing." I said back with a mean glare. And I turned around to go back to work on my worksheet. I heard Taylor say he was sorry and turned back to his worksheet. Ashley stomped away to her 2 friends and I heard them whispering something fast. I already knew it was about me, obviously. "You know, for a second there I thought you were really gonna leave me and go work with them," I said to Taylor. Taylor looked up and said, "Now, why would I do that to my great friend?"

Great friend, huh? I thought to myself. Maybe I was wrong after all. Maybe I am just a friend to him. Man, what was I thinking? Marie, you can't always think every guy who becomes your friend likes you. How stupid can you be? I smiled and said, "Oh nothing." And went back to my work.

"Okay, so that's all for today. You see, it was pretty easy, right?" Taylor asked me who just tutored me about what we learned in Geometry class today. So, Taylor and I are just friends. I get that and I accept that, right? Then why am I still thinking about that? Ugh, I thought. Get out of my head. "Yeah, it was pretty easy I guess," I said to Taylor. We were in the computer room like always. It was 4:30 P.M. and it looked like we have time to just chill and hang out.

Marie's house, computer room

"Hey, Taylor?" I asked out of nowhere. "Hmmm?" He said.

"Do you have a list of accomplisments in life before you know, die?" I asked him. He looked at me and said, "No. Why? Should I?"

"Nothing. Well, you should. Cause I have a list of accomplishments I want to be accomplished by the time I don't have enough time to do them. But, pretty much most of them are stupid." I said to him. I was waiting for a laugh or snort, but all I heard him say was that, "That's not stupid, you know? That's really smart of you. Make a list of stuff you want accomplished before you don't have enough time to do it." Wow, I thought and to think he was going to make fun of me.

"Did you write down the things you want accomplished?" He asked me. I looked at me and I could actually see in his eyes that he was actually serious. He face was so close to me, so I said breathlessly, "Yeah, uh do you want me to get it. I could show you. It's just in my room." He noticed that his face was so close to mine, so he just leaned back to his seat. I got up and ran up the stairs to my room. I entered my room and went to my desk to get the list. It was written on printer paper and it was wrinkled from all the folding and unfolding I did whenever I came up with a goal I wanted accomplished. I got the paper and before I went down the stairs, I stopped walking and just thought for a second. Why was his face so close to mine and why was he so serious? What am I feeling? What the heck am I thinking? Snap out of Marie! Taylor can be like that, you know? But do friends do that? I don't know anymore! I ran down the stairs and entered the computer room silently. I saw that he was just tapping his fingers on the desk to a rhythm. I slowly crept up behind him and slowly oh so slowly, I shouted, "BOO!" He screamed and accidentally fell off the chair. I laughed hysterically until there was tears in my eyes. I looked at Taylor and saw that he looked mad. I stopped laughing at one and it suddenly grew quiet. There a pause until Taylor starting laughing loud. I then joined in and we both started laughing on the floor. After about minutes of nonstop laughing, we finally stopped laughing and tried to catch our breath.

"You Marie! Scared the jeebus out of me!" Taylor exclaimed with a big grin on his face.

"Haha! You screamed like a girl, you know?" I said to him laughing a little. I saw Taylor's cheeks turn bright red. "No, I don't! You didn't hear that scream. You got that?" Taylor said to me.

"Uh-huh! Suure!" I said, while getting up from the floor. I helped Taylor up, which was pretty hard because he had muscles. I mean, muscles! "You better, Marie or do you want round 2 of tickle time?" He teased me.

"Okay! Okay! I didn't hear that scream," I said laughingly. "You better," Taylor said. We both sat down on our rolling chairs and we totally forgot about the list until Taylor saw it on the floor. He picked it up and said, "Look what we got here! A list of accomplishments!" He eyed it with big eyes and opened it. I laughed at him and waited until he finished reading my list.

"Wow, nice list you got here. Let's see. #1 is kiss in the rain #2 paint/decorate a wall #3 watch the sun go up #4 go scuba-diving #5 get married in a beautiful place #6 paint someone special to me #7 find an adventure…" Taylor read. The list went on and on until number 15. I wasn't completely done, but it was a lot to accomplish. He put down the list and looked at me. "You know, those can be accomplished," he said.

"Oh really?" I asked him, hoping he wasn't joking. "Yeah. Hm, why not go out with me this Saturday? I have something in mind for us to do," Taylor suggested. I thought about it and made up my mind. It was a perfectly good idea and said to Taylor, "Why not? This Saturday, right?"

"Yeah, this Saturday. I'll just text you later or Friday about this Saturday," He said to me.

"Okay!" I said excitingly. "Wait, is it a date or just a hang out?" I asked him. "Whatever you want it to be?" He said and winked at me.

"I'm just joking, it's just a hang out." Taylor said, but then I suddenly heard him whisper to himself, "or maybe a date." I thought that's what he said? Maybe I'm just hearing things. I don't know.

Taylor had to go home at 5:50 P.M. because he didn't want to be late for dinner. His mom was making his favorite dish, pasta. We said our goodbyes and he reminded me about this Saturday. Hey, I thought. He didn't remind me of what happened during nutrition. Oh well, his fault. I smiled and went back inside the house. I went back inside the computer room and cleaned up our mess. I laughed silently and thought of what happened earlier between the nonstop laughing and how close his face was. Was he about to kiss me? Once again, is he falling for me?

TAYLOR POV;

I was driving back to my house for dinner. My mom was making my favorite dish, pasta. Her own classic of course. She was such a chef, no wonder where I got my cooking skills. I stopped at a red light and thought of what happened earlier between me and Marie. I smiled and thought how our faces were so close to each other earlier. Was I about to kiss her? Do I like her or what? It doesn't even seem she likes me, but when our faces were close, it seemed like she couldn't even breath. The light turned green and I continued to drive. Did Marie think we're going on a date this Saturday? Well, I did say let's go out. Man, and why did I whisper, "maybe a date." I wasn't suppose to say that. I was supposed to think that in my thoughts, dumbo. How stupid can you be? Am I falling for Marie? Is she falling for me? I don't know. I just want to get in her thoughts and want to know what she's thinking.

Of course she's cute and I couldn't help but look at her when we first met. I especially love her laugh and her voice. I always want to hear it and that was one of the reasons why I made the first move to be her friend. Now, look where we are right now. There's just something special about her that I can't help but notice. I know she's someone different. But maybe, she thinks I like that girl in Geometry class. What was her name? Oh yeah, Ashley. But she looked like a skank. Oh Taylor, stop thinking and just drive. Think about what I'm going to eat for dinner tonight. I finally arrived home and ate dinner with the family. My mom and dad did mention Marie and they were asking when I was going to bring her to our house again. Wow, they actually like Marie. I told them that I'll bring her one day, soon. I went up to my room and just laid in bed.

Here I am thinking, stupid stupid Taylor. Stop it! Stop thinking of Marie. Why am I constantly thinking of her face, her smile, her voice, her laugh, her everything. Ugh, this is so annoying. I used to deal with all my other problems just fine, but why can't I deal with this problem? I give up, I going to sleep.

I got up and dressed in my pj's. I brushed my teeth and said my good-nights to my family. I laid in bed and closed my eyes. After tossing and turning in my bed, I finally got to sleep peacefully without any disturbances or thinking thoughts.
