I mean, he is everything (Extra credit)

There is this guy, he is really cute, I mean he is totally hot. I met him a few months back; he’s one of my cousins´ friends. Actually he is my cousins’ best friend. When I first saw him I didn’t pay any attention to him, he was just a regular guy.

I caught him staring at me a few times but I didn’t really care. Since that day I thought I would never see him again, but I did. Turns out he is in my school! At first I just saw him during lunch time playing soccer or just talking to his friends, I don’t know why something about him caught my eye…

For the first few weeks of school, I didn’t see him much but when I did we just stared at each other with that awkward kind of look. A few weeks later he started saying hi to me every time he saw me or walked beside me, I thought he was just being polite, considering he is my cousins best friend. So of course I said hey back with a smile on my face, you know I was just being polite. From this point on, everything started developing. He added me on Facebook where our conversations grew each time we spoke to each other, we had the longest conversations and the funniest ones. In school we talked all the time, I was beginning to fall for him. He was so sweet, really funny, and for me, there is nothing more attractive in a guy then his humor.

He could make me smile in my saddest days, he could make me laugh on my most bitter days, and just seeing him could make me happy. He was incredible, what I loved the most about him were his eyes, his big brown eyes. He had that kind of look that could just go through your soul; I could feel his eyes looking inside me. I knew he liked me, I could feel it through my bones. The feeling I got was amazing, knowing he liked me back. I felt butterflies all over my body not just in my belly, I felt like I couldn’t breathe properly when I was with him, my heart would go right through my chest from how hard it was beating, my hands would get all sweaty and slippery, and I could not help but smile.

We kept on talking every day and eventually he confessed. He told me those three word, the three words that changed everything… he told me “I like you”. Those words took me to the moon and back, I was so shocked he finally told me the words I was waiting for for a long time. It took me a while to respond, actually I didn’t know what to say, I didn’t know if I could even speak. I took a breath and said to him, “I like you too”. A huge smile was suddenly drawn over his face, and I was so nervous I just laughed. We stayed there looking at each other until he reached out to hug me. That hug was indescribable, I felt so safe in his arms I didn’t want him to stop hugging me. I looked at him for a second until all I could see was his lips. I saw his lips coming so close, I knew he was going to kiss me, and he did. Our first kiss. I never felt that feeling I was suddenly feeling all over my body. It was exciting; it was beautiful, and simply amazing.

The next day I couldn’t help but think about the kiss. I was wondering when I would see him again, when he would call, when would he show up, when I would stop thinking about him. A year had passed since I met him and I am still in love, I still feel the same butterflies I felt when I met him, and I know this relationship will last a long time, if not for forever.

Changing life for just a short period of time, is not a big deal...

I remember this as the palm of my hand…

I was ten years old; I remember my first day on my exchange-school. I wake up early that morning just waiting to see my room, but no, there I was just in an estrangers room, then someone entered my room, I almost felt like it was a dream, he the man that I saw on internet. Oh, now I remember he’s Brooke’s daddy, my exchange-program sister. He just pop-out his head into my room to say, “Hi there Rise-and-Shine it’s time to bath, is your first day of school”.

Great! I just got out of my school in Guatemala and here I’m in another school, “Well just go with it Stephanie”, I said to myself as I got all the thing I needed, my toothbrush for later, my underwear, the uniform that they’d given me the day before (ugliest uniform I had ever seen), some sucks, and the pair of shoes I had brought from my house, well I think I’m done so let see, I pop-out my head to watch if someone was watching me and to see were the bathroom was, there at the end of the hall, “Well Stephanie now slowly, slowly, slowly”, “HI” someone said I just ran of to my room again and into my bed, because I didn’t wanted anyone else watching me on my pajamas. As I just sat someone entered my room, “Hey Brooke” I said with a little voice, “Hi” she said and she sat on my bed, then she asked, “Well are you got to bath or not because mom says we better hurry if we don’t want to get late to school”, “I’m going” I said as I walk behind her following to the bathroom, she explained me how to use the bathtub and were the towels were, then she left leaving me all alone in the bathroom, I locked the door and bath. I got dressed in less that five minutes, then hurried up to were the kitchen was and sat down waiting for the mom to give me my dinner, but them five minutes passed and I got bored so I went to Brooke’s room she told me we were going to have dinner on the school and got all her things ready. As soon as she looked at me, just sitting on her bed she said, “Hey are your things ready?” I didn’t even had a backpack so she gave me one and went to get some things before they called us.

When we finally got ready we went to the dad’s car and sat there as he came in with some papers on the hands. He turned the car on and got on the way to school, I was starting to feel homesick, just watching the window thinking about nothing but at the same time thinking about everything. We finally got to school, well here I was, THIS was my moment the moment that will decided everything, ok Stephanie are you READDDDDDYYYYY! Well, no really, I didn’t even had time to finish my encourage speech to myself, because Brooke had already hold my hand and gotten me all running. Well I guess I just have to go with the flow. We entered the school crossed a few hall until we were out in the school-park. There was where the real race started. She went from one side to another holding my arm tight showing to everyone as if I was some type of gift, or some estrange creature. Every time I was going to say Hi to the person she pulled me of and to another person, so I guess she’d just happy for me been here with her, but really, this is starting to annoyed me, then the miracle happened. The bell rang and all the boys and girls that were there, started to form a line in front of the door that held into the school. I didn’t know were I was supposed to be so I just stood there. A hand hold mine as if we were best friend from all the life and said, “Hi”, I’m Andrew, you must be the exchange girl, come with me I’ll get you with Brooke. He pulled slowly my hand guiding me into the second line were he passed through the girls line leaving me there while he got into the boy’s line. Then he just gave one of those smiles that can make shine the world.
