It was by some miracle that I made it to Friday alive. The rest of the week had goen by un-eventfully, Carter walked me to class, it was begining to become a trend, I loved every minute of it.He was now sitting by me at lunch, which he had done off-and-on before if we hadn't finished our convorsation in Study hall, but now it was everyday. Sometimes when our convorsation hit a quiet part, he would just stare at me. Not in a creepy stalker way, but more like a compassionate, dreamy, kind of way. It was adorable, and it made me feel like I was now allowed to look into his eyes as well, and not feel weird. People stared. In the halls, in class, in the Cafeteria, and in the parking lot. And not just students either, teachers, students, staff, and even the principal! I wished they would all just mind their own business. Not that I didn't know we looked out of place, and very much like a couple. But these people had a job, they were supposed to be proffesionals!

It was Friday, and I had just woke up. I stroked through my messy hair, having took a shower last night. I started working on my "Day Look" as Ashton had called it. So I pulled my shoulder-length blah-brown hair back into a turquouise, sparkly, rhinestone barette. And put on my makeup. All the "Day" eye shadow was warm neautrals, and browns. I put it on, adding brown eye liner, and brown mascara. It was plain-ish, but it was pretty. I was honestly thinking about wearing this everyday. I then skipped over to my closet and found what I was looking for. My chocolate courdoroy, boot-cut pants, and my tourqouise sweater. Kind of plain, but it'd work for me. It was dressier than what I'd normally wear to school. After a quick swipe of this peachy lip gloss Ashton said was a "Must-Have", I bounded down the stairs and ate my cereal, and then off to school i went.

I pulled up to the red Porsche parked where it normally was, but Carter was propped against the window closest to my car. he had one hand behind his back like he was sending a message to someone inside with sign language. I grabbed my bag and hopped out, and circled around to where he was standing. Gawd, he looked perfect.

"Karleigh, you look ravishing...I-I'm at a loss for words..." he whispered. I for one was astonished that he was at a loss for what i looked like...in a good way ya know? Shuoldn't it be the other way around? I mean, he was...well, he was WOW. But I still managed to talk...Well...this time I just blushed.He seemed to be startled like something just occured to him, and he pulled out a bouqet of orange day lillies, tied in a beautiful plum ribbon. he knew that these were my favorites, though i'd thought nothing of it when he'd asked me. It was when he was drilling me for answers to useless questions. he asked me my favorite flower right before he asked my favorite number, which happened to be 4.

"Oh-Oh-Wow. Carter these are just-oh...wow. You-you remembered, and you-oh...wow..." My face lit up. Without thinking, my body reacted, and I lunged in for a hug. But he had already beat me, noticing what i was going for he wrapped his arms around me and swung me up off the ground. Tears welled up around my eyes, threatening to gush over the brim. But I didn't care, carter would know they were tears of joy.

He put me down, but kept his arms around my waist, and chuckled, "Oh silly Karleigh! You never cease to amaze me!" and then he tightened in and i kept my face close to his chest. He was marvelous. The planes of his chest so soft, but so muscular. And he was, well he was just so warm! His arms covered me up, sheilding my face from the wind. I didn't even think to be astonished or start gasping. No, Carter never ceased to amaze me either. And my eyes lit up and I started grinning from ear to ear. Carter seemed to sense my mood, and pulled me back to see my face. And then he started smiling too.

"There we go,love. that's what i wanted to see..." And he pulled me along to our first block class.

Apparently, Carter and I had ceased to amaze everyone else by now. Though we still got those half crazed stares, people pretty much quit noticing us. I mean, they quit noticing me. I couldn't help but take a peek at what we looked like when we passed by the big wondows of the library, and saw our reflection in the glass. A tall girl, with an even taller guy holding hands. The girl carrying a bouqet of lillies, and both of them smiling as big as they could. For once it looked like maybe we should've been there, like it really could always be that way...and for a tiny moment it seemed liek there really was hope.

I went from class to class, beaming with happyness. And at lunch he gave me a Hershey's chocolate bar, plain, (which he knew, and remembered was my favorite) wrapped with a curly purple ribbon.

"Something sweet, for the sweetest i know" he whispered as he patted the bar into my palm. He was smiling again, our faces really close. I almost passed out. but I ate it, and shared it with him. Everyone stared this time, mostly because we were so close, but i don't think Carter even noticed. And then he whispered to me, right into my ear, "Love, I really do want to pick you up from your house and take you to the bonfire tonight, but I'll need you to write down your address for me." I could tell in his whisper that he was smiling, almost laughing. I whipped out my purple gel pen and scrawled my address onto his porcelain palm.

"thank you" he said with a smile and kissed the top of my head. And then the bell rang and he was gone, but he'd left a note that I hadn't noticed...

Karleigh, I won't be at school for the rest of the day. I'm off to prepare for our date this evening. :) I'll call you before I get to your house, so be ready! I know you'll be gorgeous... -Carter
