Love...

Writing about love,
Experiencing love,
Different yet the same.
Love is known,
Love is felt.
You can heal,
Or you can hurt.
It is the simplest thing
That is complicated.

Nature's Damage

Earthquakes do damage.
As much as a hurricane.
Her heart had both.
An earthquake that made cracks.
A hurricane that made rivers.
The rivers ran to her eyes.
Her eyes made the streams on her face.
It made her mascara run in black lines.
Sad and afraid, she sat in a stall.
She cried, and cried, and cried.
The earthquakes and hurricanes rushing in.

Beyond the Forest & Into the Sunshine - Part 9

       "Where are we going Tommy?" I asked as he was pulling me behind him.
       "You'll see soon enough." He said smiling the biggest smile possible.
       "Come on, tell me!" I whined.
       "I don't need to, look." He said pulling me next to him as I looked out at this magnificent sun set.
       "Oh. My. God." I said slowly as I pulled out my camera.
       "I didn't know you aspired to be a photographer." He said amused.
       "I don't "aspire to be a photographer," it is just my hobby." I said snapping a million pictures as the sunset changes every few moments.
      "You look beautiful." He said pulling out a camera of his own and taking a picture of me.
      "Thank you!" I said smiling.
      "I'm going to go outside." I said starting to walk toward the stairs.
      "May I come with you?" He asked knowing I couldn't resist.
      "Of course you can." I said smiling as I walked backwards and took a photo of him.
      "Quit snapping pictures of me." He said as I took about ten more.
      "Why? You are my breathtaking husband-to-be, so why should I stop?" I said stopping in my room to change and grab more film.
      "Stop because I hate my picture taken. But since you are my spectacular wife-to-be I guess you can keep those photographs." He said smiling as I came out of the bathroom and slipped my t-shirt over my torso.
      "I love you." I said giving him a kiss as we walked down the stairs and out the front door.
      "I love you too." He said back trying to take my hand as I was about to take a photo of the majestic fairies.
      "Dude, no hand holding when I am trying to do some picture taking." I said flashing my white teeth.
     "Do not call me dude." He said being defensive as he took a few photos.
     "Okay, okay." I said taking pictures of stars and him and the fairies as they sparkle.
     "I love how you see the world Bella Maria Sanchez. You look at the world like it is art in a museum. You admire it and you try to capture it in a picture." He said taking pictures of me as I took pictures of everything around me.
     "I love you." I said putting my arms around his waist to hug him my head laying on his chest. "I love you." I said again as he hugs me back. "I love you so much." I said again, and the fairies were swarming around us all happy and joyful.
     "I love you too, more than I can ever put into words." He said kissing me as we stood their and watched the world around us.

Secret Cupid: The Truth

Dear Secret Cupid,

If you wouldn’t mind not telling anyone that I am writing to you that would be great. You see I don't want people to know for certain reasons. Anyway, I wanted to ask a girl I like to prom. The only thing is I don’t know how to ask her. I don’t know if she even wants to go with me. I don’t know if you can help, but people say that you can so...can you?

Sincerely,

Zack  

        “Zack!” I screamed. “He his writing to me! I mean he is writing to Secret Cupid! Wait he wants to ask a girl to prom. I knew it! He's probably going to ask Rachel or some other girl. He could want to ask me right? No probably not. I knew it was too good to be true. He is just a friend.” I said sadly.

“Hey Abby!” Emma said.

“Hey Emma.” I said shoving the letter under my sheets.

“Why do you sound so sad?” She asked.

“Oh, it's nothing.” I said trying to sound happy.

“I am your friend. I know when you're lying.” She said back.

“It’s just about a guy.” I said.

“You mean Zack. Yeah, I pay attention.” She said noticing my surprised face.

“Yeah, well he wants to ask someone else to prom. I was stupid to think he would like me.” I said to Emma.

“How do you know that? Wait, how do you know he wants to ask someone to prom?” Emma asked.

“I just know.” I said.

“You're lying Abby. You know you have had a secret in you for a while. I have tried to ignore it for a while but I can’t. Abby you can tell me.” Emma pleaded.

“I can’t.” I said.

“Then I am leaving. You can find me when you're ready to talk.” Emma said leaving my room.

“Emma wait! I do have a secret. You can say that some of my name has the word secret in it.” I said. “The secret is...I am Secret Cupid!” I blurted out.

“What! Wait you're...really?” She asked freaking out.

“Yep.” I said back.

“That's how you know that Zack wants to ask someone to prom. He wrote to Secret Cupid.” Emma said,

“You got it.” I said trying to sound positive.

“I’m sorry.” Emma said.

“It’s fine.” I said with a smile.

“So, you're telling me that I have been writing to my best friend!” Emma said.

“Yep!” I said smiling.

Beyond the Forest & Into the Sunshine - Part 8

     "Tommy, pink peonies with yellow bali flowers or sweet violets with pink carnations?" I asked trying to make wedding plans.
     "I like the sweet violets with the pink carnations." He said looking at the pictures I set in front of him.
     "Great, which cake? Three tier with edible pearls and silver ribbons or four tier with pearls and blue ribbons." I asked setting pictures in front of him.
     "The three tier, it is more traditional." He said starting to type again.
     "Awesome, all I have left is choosing my dress, picking up your tux and executing everything." I said giving him a kiss.
     "Well, hon, if you need anything let me know." He said standing and giving me a passionate kiss.
      "Will do, and if you want something to do, I think we need some alone time." I whispered into his ear.
      "I very well agree." He said getting up, kissing me, and we walked to the theater room. We sat on the sofa shoes off and my feet on his lap. We ate bunches of sugar and popcorn and watched a movie.
      "I absolutely loved that movie." I said as it ended.
      "It was good wasn't it." He asked rhetorically.
      "What should we do now?" I asked as I'm sure he saw hearts in my eyes.
      "Just follow me." He said grabbing my hand and my shoes.
      "Any blind folds this time?" I asked smiling at the memory.
      "No, no blind folds, though you did look very cute the last time." He said chuckling.

Reality shows you your a broken heart.
You try to put it together again.

You're in pain, you're only existing.
Reality makes the pain worsen.

A Husband to Be! - Part 3

They all went outside. The prince was walking with his hand on the gold handle of his sword. The fairies walked out to the front porch then floated because of the sand. The prince was wearing his white uniform, with a sash, that had some weird looking pins on it, and a sword on his waist. Pheona was walking in heels and took them off about half way there. She was carrying them when the prince offered to do it. She accepted because it would have been rude to say no. About half way there he took his hand off the golden handle of his sword. When they got there the animals slowly came creeping out, growling and howling. At one point a tiger roared so loud, that the beautiful princess in the blue summer gown jumped into the prince’s arms. He put his arm around her till they went in.

 By the time they went in, the forest had been sealed with a fence no one or nothing could see, but ran into it trying to go in. The only ones who knew it were there was the prince, princess, and the fairy god mothers. One cannot take it down. They would both have to. After the prince and princess go in both the fairy god mothers poof out of their way. Now the animals wouldn’t bother them. So they could swim, run, and have fun like all teens should. But it would come down when both the fairies died. But until then those cute, sweet looking animals will bother no one.

The prince and princess started dating. They slowly tell each other their good, bad and dark secrets. Then they went outside for a swim, first they sit on the beach and put sun block on. Pheona slowly wades in and he follows. They didn’t go deeper than their waist’s. They gazed into each others eyes; he pulled her closer and kissed her. 

20 years later……..

Lucas proposed on the beach when the sun was about to set. He got down on one knee and pulled out a ring and said:

“Will you marry me, my one and only true love?”

Pheona replied “Yes!!”

They got married after 5 months of planning. They got married on the beach, under the beautiful full moon. She was in this beautiful white gown that sparkled head to toe. It wasn’t a ball gown; it was much too warm for that. She walked down the aisle to the song “Love Story” by Taylor Swift, because it is her favorite song. She wore a diamond necklace with matching ear rings and a matching bracelet she bought. that the prince got her for their four month anniversary.

10 years later…

The princess was put under a spell by her evil fairy god mother. Pheona ends up killing the prince, and her good fairy god mother Lucinda. Then a few weeks later she is commanded to kill herself. She unfortunately doesn’t know what she is doing.

They did not live happily ever after like normal…. They died, and the evil fairy lives on!

A Husband to Be! - Part 2

They both suddenly heard a growling at the door. They both jumped, and slowly, both shaking, walked over to the door. Grrrrrr! They heard again. Pheona took Lucas’s hand and pulled him up the stairs. They finally got to the balcony, they opened the double doors and there waiting for them was a black crow. Whose feathers looked blue in the sun. They quickly each grabbed a door, and slammed the shut. Boom! The crow was startled and flew away. Lucas fell to the ground; Phoena fell on top of him. The gaised into each other’s eyes for a moment, and she got up with the help of Prince Lucas. Pheona noticed that his eyes were a dark blue, and sparkled in the light. Lucas noticed they both have blue eyes. They sat on her bed and she said:

“I wish I had a good fairy god mother to help me.”

Poof! She appeared in the bedroom. She was wearing a pretty green gown and a crown.

“What can I help you with?” the pretty god mother asked.

“There are these vicious, but yet cute animals outside, in the enchanted forest. Can you help us seal that with magic or something?” Lucas asked in that deep voice of his, as he stood up and walked to the chair.

“Yes I can. But there is a price. The dark fairy god mother has to help also. No light fairy is strong enough by herself. Nor can us light fairies join with more light fairies. It has to be a dark one. Or as you humans say it “evil one.” We lights have been trying to close that forest off for years. Especially me because of you, Pheona.” She replies

“Ok I’ll just call upon my evil fairy then.” Pheona says like it is no big deal.

“No!” the prince and fairy say at the same time.

“If you do that she will or may curse you when you marry and have a family. My friend did that once. We were playing around and we didn’t believe. He called upon her on an accident. Ten terrible years later he was cursed to kill himself.” Lucas explained so well the fairy didn’t need to chime in.

“But it’s the only way.” Pheona replied. “I wish I had an evil fairy god mother to help me.” She said before the prince could get to her from the chair to cover her mouth.

Poof! There she was. A tan, black haired, (with little streaks of red) brown eyed fairy appeared. She was dressed in the shirt that said I don’t care on it and jeans. She wore glasses and a red pair of converse.

“What can I help you with deary?” she said looking up from her phone

“We need you and my light fairy god mother here whatever her name is, to close that forest.” Pheona said.

“My name is Luesinda thank you!” the light god mother said.

“My name is Kate. Just so you know.” The dark one added.

A Husband to Be! - Part 1

One day Princess Pheona was sitting on the beach. The castle was right behind her, and the enchanted forest was on her right. The waters tide washed up and hit her feet now and then. She thought the blue sparkling water, and the sand that sparkled depending on the angle you look at it, was magnificent.

 A little black, cute, blue eyed cat came and sat by her. Pheona went to pet it, but it tried to bite her. After it tried to bite her, she was trying to get it to leave. Her face turned into a little frown as the furry creature scattered back into the Forest next to her. But after shooing the cat away, Pheona felt bad since she thought that it had no place to go except the forest. So she got up, and skipped into the forest. She wondered around in the forest, and the animals all come out and she went to pet a few of them. They all tried to bite her. Pheona quickly ran to the castle, as she did she kept slipping in the sand and falling to her knees. Then finally she got to the castle. 

Blonde haired, light blue eyed princess Pheona wanted to go out for a swim but she couldn’t. All because of this enchanted forest, and the biting animals. She didn’t know if they could swim so she just decided to stay in. Suddenly she heard something scratch and growl. Screech, screech went the animal’s nails on the door. Her ears were hurting by the time it left. Pheona needed to figure out a plan to stop those vicious, but cute, and annoying creatures. As Pheona was climbing the stairs to go out onto the balcony that sits over the door, she heard a knock. Knock, knock! It went again. Then the bell started ringing. Bring, bring! She started back down the stairs, wondering who it could be. Then the sound of a sword coming out alarmed her. She started running to the door. Then she heard a man say:

“If you are in there please open this door! There is a very cute cat out here, but he is trying to bite me! Help!” the man said as she came and opened the door, with only one shoe on. She left the other sit on the step behind her.

“Come on in. I’m so, so sorry. I wasn’t expecting anyone, and I was three fourths of the way up the stairs there.” Pheona told him while panting and putting her right heel back on. “I didn’t catch your name. I’m Princess Pheona.”

“I’m Prince Lucas. It’s very nice to meet you my lady.” He replied as he bowed and his lush brown hair went falling forward. “I am afraid I have some bad news.” He said with a frown, as their eyes met.

“Please, sit.” She insisted as she pointed the way. “What would that might be?” she asked with a frown, thinking it is probably about her sister. The only family she had left.

“Well you may already know this but, some of these animals in the forest next to your beautiful castle here, are vicious, and have been found outside of our castle as well. That is why I am here. We need to come up with a plan to stop these vicious creatures. My father insists we kill them….”

“No, we can’t, I won’t let him!” Pheona says as she interrupts him, with that beautiful sounding British accent.

“Pheona, you didn’t let me finish. He insists on killing them, but I won’t let him. Doing that is just too cruel. I was thinking maybe you had a fairy god mother or something. I did but she has been cursed by my evil fairy god mother.” Lucas said with a frown. “Do you have a fairy god mother? The good one, not the evil one.”

“I believe I do. What do you mean not evil?”

“Well with every good fairy god mother there is a bad.”

“Oh.” she said alarmed.

“Now the way for you to call upon her you have to say I wish I had a good fairy god mother to help me. Ok?”

“Yea I got it. I wish I had a good fairy...”

Creation

Creation

Her beauty magnificently shining,

the sky is blue and zealous.

The sun's alive till the dusk of day,

like people dawn to dusk.

Changing seasons, like day to night.

Sun Setting, Moon Rising.

Leaves changing, falling to the ground,

crunching and crackling.

Winter coming, cooling weather.

The anticipation, the frosty weather.

Warming fires and warming blankets.

Having fun in the snow, and time to dream.

Sun warming the ground as it grows,

Melting ice and snow as it's a hot day.

Loving memories of years past,

coming alive like flowers grow.

                   We turned prince Max in and he was taken to jail. Liliana turned around and hugged me! Yes!

        "Thank you for kind of saving me. I did not see it coming." She said as she drew back. 

        "Well, it was worth it!" I said a little surprised because she hugged me!

        "Well, my hero deserves a reward!" She said sweetly. And then she leaned in and kissed me. Then we walked out of the palace and rode home hand and hand.

My Prince - Part 3

       Before the concert I changed into my jeans and a different shirt, a purple blouse. But I kept on my black heels. I went to the concert early. I saw my family and the prince sang. Prince Larry sang Olly Murs song Troublemaker. After he sang he followed me everywhere I went, as did his buddies. The red head freckled prince annoyed me so much I went into a little obstacle course. A course of all metal holes you have to go through to get out. As stupid as I am, I was dumb enough to go in this obstacle. I am claustrophobic. The prince must have gone in through the exit because half way through I started to freak out.
      "I...why did I come in here?" I said starting to freak out and pace. "I am claustrophobic, why did-" I was interrupted by the prince.
      "Calm down, it's okay. I know a secret way out." He said putting a hand around my waist. Then directed me to the left and opened a little secret door. We went through the door and it took us to a beautiful meadow with a bunch of yellow flowers. He had a picnic set up for us.
      "What is this?" I asked him.
      "Well, since you didn't tell me your name when we danced I had to figure put who it was in that dress. And I did, it was you in that dress behind that mask. Wasn't it?" He asked smiling knowing he was right.
      "Yes, it was me." I said sitting on the blanket and eating a grape.
      "I knew it!!" He said sitting.
      That's when he grabbed my legs, put them on his lap and took my shoes off. He told me to lay back and relax, and of course I listened. He is a prince after all. He gave me a foot massage and he hit the ticklish spots and the knotted spots.
      "Okay, you shouldn't be the one giving the foot massage." I said still laying down.
      "Why, are you not enjoying it?" He asked his fingers tracing their way up my body.
      "Not really." I said jokingly as he laid next to me.
      "Ah, we're going to have to ix that aren't we." He said his torso hovering over me as he came in for a kiss. "How was that?" He asked searching my eyes,
      "Not that good." I said smiling so he'd know I was joking. Then he kissed me again.
      "How about now?" He asked smiling.
      "Better." I said and I kissed him again, but then I quit because I remembered something.
      "Hey, what's wrong?" He asked.
      "Don't you have another show to do?" I asked.
      "Oh, crap, I'll be back within ten minutes." He said running off as I smiled. Then I grabbed my phone and shoes and ran after him so I could hear him sing. And I met him back in the meadow when he was done.

Spying in Love - Liliana

Chapter 5 - Liliana

        I kicked and struggled when Jackson had a hold of me. I didn't want to hurt anyone, so I stopped struggling as I felt myself being dragged out with some sort of weapon to my head. Clang! And I couldn't see because of my blindfold, but I could tell it was a dungeon. 
   "Before you ask questions let me tell you why you are here instead of the prince. Well, you are way more valuable than I expected because you are the princess of a tiny island in the Victorian Islands. You are also cuter than I expected!" Jackson said with a sly smile on his tan-ish face as I looked into the eyes of the prince when he took off my blindfold.
   "Prince Max, I should have known! Let me guess, your father, the real Jackson, died after you were born and then you got adopted by the king and Queen so they would have a child, and heir if you will!" I said with a smile.
   "How did you know?" He said with a perplex look on his face.
   "Just a hunch! But did you know that you are surrounded by two of the best spies in the world?" I said as I pulled off my dress revealing leather and boots and I kicked him hard in the face as Austin handcuffed him.

Love is Like a Butterfly

Love is like a butterfly.

It starts off as a caterpillar,

small and sweet.

And over time it starts to grow. 

As it reaches the cocoon it decides,

whether the love is real or not. 

Then when the time is right,

the caterpillar turns into a

beautiful butterfly called love.

 Where it soars and prospers. 

But butterflies die too, right?

My Prince - Part 2

     The next day we all got up, got dressed. But it was said that we all must wear jeans, heels, and a shirt of our choice. My maid put me in a pretty pink blouse that had no sleeves and ruffles. My heels matched my blouse, pink. The way my maid did my hair was super cute. She curled it, ran through it with a brush and put a bow in it. I was the last one to come down the stairs. The girls just wore old t-shirts. Then the prince explained what we were doing.
     "Today, all of you will be going through an obstacle. First, you will go shopping, with your maid and money I give you. You must buy a dress. Any dress you can afford with only the money I give each of you. Use what's left, after the dress, for shoes, make-up, jewelry, whatever. Second, you will put the dress on and meet me in the bell tower. The first three to arrive will get a dance. The other seven will leave, not just the bell tower but the castle. Third, the three will also show up at my concert after the bell tower, and your families will be there too. Once I give you your money, you and your maid may go." The prince said as he handed me one hundred and twenty dollars, and I grabbed my maid and we went on our way.
     "Kelly, I want to stand out in my dress, where do we go?" I asked my maid who knows everything.
     "This little boutique, where I got all of your dresses. They have all hand made clothes. Let's go there. Follow me." She said in her heavy accent pulling my arm.
     "It's walking distance?" I asked catching up to her.
     "Yes, especially for girls in heels!" She said excited.
     "Are you sure no one else will be here?" I asked.
     "Positive." She said opening the door.
     We walked in and the clothes in this store were amazing. My maid picked a black ball gown, again in the back was a ribbon. It had sparkles and jewels. It was beautiful and only eighty dollars. She then chose black heels, pumps, so I'm not super tall. But she also chose a mask, a black mascaraed mask. The she chose earrings. All equaling perfectly to one hundred dollars. I got dressed and my maid tied the corset and dress and I put the mask on and I was on the way to the bell tower.
      "Ah, we have our first arrival!" Said the prince as he took my hand to take me up the stairs. "Who might you be?" He asked trying to take off m mask.
      "No no." I said wagging my gloved finger. "You'll just have to figure it out." I said smiling a sly smile.
      "Dance with me?" He said lending his hand.
      "Of course." I said smiling with my vixen red lips.
      Ten minutes later I heard the door open and close, I whispered bye and ran off.

Dreams.

       Dreams. Dreams are things your heart wish for. It's the hearts truth, the truth you want to come true as a wish. There was a girl who had a dream. A dream of a beautiful summer and a cute summer boy. They were at a farmers market, all of their friends were too, and they happened to bump into each other. They walked and talked and ran around together like little kids. But then the song she always almost cries to came on, All of Me by John Legend, and he took her hand. They walked around hand and hand as they smiled and laughed and had some fun. She was in love with him and she didn't know how he felt. So, she just went with the hand holding. They went into this little store and he grabbed a drink. He gave her the look of would you like one? She just shook her head yes, and he grabbed her one, they paid and went out the door. They were running around the market trying to find an empty isle, she didn't know why, but they did. Then he kissed her, just kissed her. He pulled back and looked at her eyes and she kissed him again. And her dream was ended by the sound of her alarm clock.

My Prince - Part 1

       Today I am going to be joining a contest, kind of like a selection, or the Bachelor/Bachelorette. I am not the only one going into that, many other girls will be too, but I think I have a real chance. I began to pack my bags, my lazy day clothes because they supply the fancy clothes. Then I headed to the airport. Within a few hours I was on a private jet, with two other girls. It was the royals jet, I was so excited! I fell asleep on the plane and within what felt like minutes we were going into the castle. They supplied make-up, dresses, shoes, and maids to help.
      "Hello madam Walker, let us get you ready for the opening introductions." My maid told me as she picked out a red dress that had sparkles down it. It was a strapless number and it was mesmerizing.
       "Okay!" I said happily, little did I know I had to wear a corset.
      As I descended down the stairs, my long brown hair over my shoulders and a braid crown around the top of my head, my dress swooshed and shoes clunked on the marble. But everyone was staring at me, the other girls didn't have on dresses like mine, theirs were a plain color, no sparkles, their hair simply put up and most of them, a lot of make up. But me, my hair was intricately twined with a ribbon and pins and extensions. My dress was painful with a corset, and it was quite ornate. I had to be tied into my dress cause it was a ribbon in the back, not a zipper or buttons, a red shiny silk ribbon. My shoes, oh my shoes! My shoes were red heels, not huge heels like most the girls wore, the ones that kill your feet. My heels were just pumps, to make me seem taller, but not taller than the prince. They were red and one strap went around my foot. Then there was my make up, the other girls plastered it on, but mine was simple. My make-up was only mascara, eye shadow and a touch of blush. The rest of my natural face did the rest of the work.
      Everyone stared, the other girl's maids, the other girls scowled, the Queen and King, the Prince even. The prince's mouth dropped open, only for a second, when he saw what everyone was looking at, me. My maid was even smiling. At the bottom of the stares the Prince took my gloved hand, bowed and kissed it. I curtseyed back of course. Then he walked me over to the other girls and where they were standing. He gently let go of my arm and went back to where he was suppose to be and all I could do to keep my smile in wasn't working. A smile definitely played at my lips, but his too.

A Girl & A Boy

          There was a girl. She started texting a boy she didn't know. A boy two years older than her. They started texting and falling for each other and she instantly fell for him. They flirted and sent flirty selfies, but nothing more. But there was a catch, they never actually met. They still haven't. Their flirting went on for about a month and a half. The summer before she went to a new school. The summer of 2016. She only started texting him because a friend met him at a summer high school event. He admitted his feelings for her friend right away, to her friend and to her. She was just trying to protect her friend, because her friend is like her sister. But she fell for him. After she had butterflies every time he texted and had dreams of him she knew she was falling too hard. So, she shut him out. She didn't do it because she didn't like him, she did more than words could explain. She did it because her friend liked him and she was afraid. She liked boys before him, but she had never felt the way he made her feel, so she shut him out. A few months later, after she was settled in her new school, she explained why she shut him out with a lie. She still liked him, but he clearly didn't feel the same anymore. She still likes him, and every time his name pops up on her phone she still gets butterflies. But he likes another one of her friends now. And now they don't talk at all. He will always be there for her and her for him, but they don't talk like they used too. She was afraid of her feelings and how he made her feel. And she never told him she was afraid of how he made her feel. She didn't tell him the truth and she wishes they could be friends again. They built a friendship with each other, but in the end her feelings got in the way.

There are versions of the truth, every one has a different one. This is my truth.

That is How Love is Born

Love is born,

when cupid is bored,

that is how love is born.

 He shoots with his bow,

where hearts are of stone,

that is how love is born.

Then he sits and stares,

to the two lovers 

become one fair

that is how love is born.

Spying in Love - Austin

Chapter 4 - Austin

         The ball started and Max, the prince with blond hair and blue eyes, asked Liliana to dance. I was as jealous as I watched them lead the dance across the marble floor. What really made me mad is that when he told her something she laughed. It wasn't any old laugh, it was her regular laugh, the laugh she uses when she is comfortable. Just as I was thinking about why I didn't ask her to dance, I heard a scream and as I looked over my pale skin got even paler. It was Liliana fighting against her will, she was fighting Jackson who had a black ski mask and suit on. He covered her mouth with a towel and blindfolded her. And I followed.

Secret Cupid: Prom Queen & King? - Part 1

“You’re drooling again.” I said to Emma.

“What!” Emma said wiping her mouth, “No I am not!”

“Yes you are and it's getting kind of weird when you keep looking at him all the time.” I said.  

“Well, you keep staring at that kid, Zack.” Emma said back.

“No I don’t! I am just looking where your looking. You know, in the general direction.” I said blushing.

“Yeah, right.” Emma said.

“Besides, Zack is always with Rachel. They are practically dating.” I said.

“Wow! You just took a movie stereotype thing by saying that the two popular kids in school are dating.” Emma said.

“Well, it looks that way now doesn’t it.” I said back.

“Whatever, but I think you two would be a cute couple.” Emma said.

“Well... I never said I was interested in him.” I said back to her.

“To bad because they are coming this way.” Emma said trying to look cool.

“Hey Emma!” Peter said.

“Hi Peter!” Emma said blushing.

“I can’t wait to go with to prom with you.” Peter said to her.

“I can’t wait either!” Emma said back.

“Oh, hey Abby.” I heard Zack say.

“Hey Zack I….” I started to say.

“Don’t you think Zack and I are the cutest couple!” Rachel said interrupting me.

“I guess.” I said not knowing what to say.

“Well, that is great because we are going to prom together and you should totally vote us King and Queen.” Rachel said.

“Oh, you are going together.” I said trying to hide the pain on my face.

“No, Rachel I never said that we are going together.” Zack said, who obviously saw the pain on my face.

“Why not? Everyone thinks that we are perfect together.” Rachel said back trying to use puppy dog eyes on him.

“I said I have to think about it.” Zack said back to her.

“But why?” Rachel asked.

“Well, I might want to ask someone else out.” Zack said looking around the school.

“Who would be better than me?” Rachel asked.

“I don’t know.” He said looking at me.

“Well, everyone knows that you are the prettiest girl in school.” I said being sarcastic while blushing because of Zack.

“See, she gets it.” Rachel said.

“Yeah. Okay let's go.” Zack said laughing under his breath at my remark.

“Bye girl I never knew was at my school.” Rachel said.

“Bye Abby!” He said walking down the hallway then winked at me.

“Bye!” I yelled down the hall.
