I went to get my food for dinner. Tonight we're having Italian. Connor looked at me with disgust when Katie came past. She looked beautiful. She makes a tee-shirt and skinny jeans worth looking at.
"Dude," Connor clicked his fingers at my nose. "Why don't you ask her to the fireworks?"
"Because she already is going with someone!" I thought about the time when she rejected the boy who asked her. "I wish I could. I wonder who it is."
Connor got up and went to Katie. They started talking and Katie looked scared and confused at the same time. I wouldn't take my eyes off hers'. Her eyes are just beautiful; so beautiful that I could stare at them all day. Connor came back and punched my arm, bringing me out of my gaze.
"She doesn't have someone you idiot." Connor said sitting down, "She's not going."
"Why?" I thought about what she would do if she wasn't going.
"Because she's waiting for this one guy to ask."
"And who's that?"
"Can't say dude. But I've got a plan."
I like my brother's thinking. He told me his plan and I suddenly didn't want to do it. It was going into her privacy and I didn't want to know everything little detail. I would rather do it the hard way, by asking her and people she loves and care for. I got up and left the mess hall shaking my head and outing my hands in my pockets.
I decided to do into the deepest part of the forest. It was dark and I chocked on the air. I've never been this deep before. I climb a tree and sat there picking at leaves… until Juniper yelled at me to stop. It wasn't funny man (or woman…) her face went green as with madness and started throwing sticks at me until I had stopped. Then she said that I was just like Katie. I shrugged and heard footsteps. I opened my eyes and saw Juniper had left. I heard more and saw Katie with her diary. I couldn't see what she was writing but I saw a love heart with two names in it. She stopped at the tree I was in and started laughing at what she wrote. I decided to slide down without her knowing… That didn't work to plan. I slipped and fell face first on the cold dried fallen leaves. Katie quickly shut her book and helped my up.
I whipped myself off and opened my mouth when she ran.
"Hey Katie! Wait!" I yelled following her. She ran into a part of the forest that I didn't know about. It was full of colours, birds sang, trees swayed in the air and it was really bright.
"Welcome." Katie said dropping her diary and pen on the ground. "What do you think?"
"You're beautiful," I said dazed.
"What?"
"I-it's beautiful!" I saved. "Did you do all this?"
"Yeah. Pretty awesome don't you think?"
"I think you're pretty awesome," I said under my breath.
"Come on. We should get back. Camp fire isn't on tonight." And she picked up her diary and started walking away. I followed her out the forest. When I thought a night like this, I thought that we would be together and holding hands as a couple. Man I dream the impossible.
