Day 41

It was Saturday and we had permission to go into town. Michael offered to take me to a movie, but when I saw his face as he chose a movie... Well, it was obvious he didn't like the sound of any of them.

"You know, we could just walk around," I suggested.

"If you want," He said, relieved.

I couldn't help it. I laughed. He just stuck out his tongue at me and pouted.

"Aww, don't look so miserable. It makes me want to kiss you," I laughed.

"It's my seductive techniques." He grinned like crazy.

"Come on then. And I'll be the only one seducing around here." I pulled him away from the cinema.

"As long as I'm your victim."

I rolled my eyes and kissed him. "Nah. I got eyes for this guy." I said sarcastically.

"He better hope he can defend himself, then." He tried to sound angry, but I could see a smile tugging at mouth.

"Oh, he does. And he's standing right beside me, holding my hand." I kissed him again, smiling.

We spent the day wandering around Roseville. There wasn't much to see, but it was nice, nevertheless. At 3:42pm exactly, we headed back before everyone else. I didn't want to go inside, though, so we sat beside the lake. It was one of my favourite places at the Gallagher Academy. I loved to stare into the water, lost in the blue and green shades and the rippling reflection of the sky on the surface.

We were leaning against a tree, holding hands, in silence. It wasn't uncomfortable, though. Just being with each other was enough. A cool breeze swept over us, the air kissing my face. I shivered, and Michael wrapped his arms around me. I leant against his chest and he rested his head on mine.

Turning my head around, I kissed him passionately. He held my face in his hands and I wrapped my arms around his neck. It lasted over a minute, and we didn't pull away until we could no longer breathe. His arms were back around me, and I gripped his hand tightly.

We sat there for a long time, staring out over the horizon. I couldn't help wondering what was out there. I mean, I knew what countries and buildings, having learnt about them in COW, but I didn't truly know. And, I realized, right now, I didn't really care. I was happy where I was, in the arms of someone I loved. I was the happiest girl alive and there was no doubt about it.

And it come to an end. Hope you liked it!
