Update time!!
Story will have adult language throughout the whole thing just to warn you, now onto the update!
That dream catcher doesn't do anything for me. I still have nightmares about Doug, and my mom not knowing what he does to me.
"Mom" I thought, "If only I could tell her."
"So, Spencer," I fell out of my day dreams to find my mom standing in my room.
"How are things going with you and Doug?" she asked. "Fine." I replied. "Are you sure?" she continued. "Everything is fine." I stated.
She knelt down by my bed now. "Is school going okay for you?" she asked. "School is fine." It seemed like that was the only thing I could say. "Sooo, any special girls there?" she asked jokingly. "MOM!" I was surprised she'd asked that, because there was a girl that I liked at my school, her name was Melissa.
"Haha, I was only kidding, I have to go make dinner, I'll call you when it's ready." And with that, my mom walked out of my room.
About 20 minutes later everyone was called into the kitchen for a dinner of macaronni and cheese. Boy, what a surprise there. My mom wasn't much of a cook and Doug never made anything but an ass of himslef.
This dinner was actually pretty peacful and we all talked about our day.
The next morning as I boarded the bus, I had butterflies in my stomache. Today was the day I planned on asking Melissa to the dance tomorrow.
The day started out as usual, with gym. And of course, Melissa was in my gym class.
I decided to try my luck at using the tredmill, to try and impress her.
I'm not sure if it worked or not. I had tried to gather the courage to ask her out right before everyone hit the showers, but I just couldn't do it. So I decided to wait a little longer.
It was the end of the day and I still haden't asked Melissa to the dance yet. But, right after 9th period, I saw her talking to one of her friends in the hallway and decided, it's not or never.
I walked up to her and it was obvious her friend didn't want me there because she said, "I'll leave you two alone, catch ya lata Melissa." as she headed off to her homeroom.
"Hey, Spence, what's up?" Melissa asked me. I could have died right there. She knew my name! And she even shortened it to make it sound friendly!
"Oh, uhh, hi Melissa. Ummmm, I was wondering, if you know, you didn't already have a date to go with, I mean no that you wouldn't, but, uhhhh what I'm trying to say is, would you like to go the dance with me tomorrow night?" God, I'd made a fool of myself.
"Sure! I'd love to! It's gonna be sooo much fun!" she said with a smile. "Oh, great, then uhh, I'll pick you up around 7?" I managed to say. "Yeah, sounds good." she said as she walked off towards her locker.
I ran to the bathroom as fast as I could. "YESSS!!!!" I yelled. I was sooo excited for our date. Today was easily the best day of my grey life. The bell rang to go home so I walked out of the bathroom, grabbed my homework from my locker and headed out the front door.
When i got off the bus,I was still in shock about Melissa saying yes to me. I decided to celebrate.
I ran to the backyard and played in the leaves I'd raked. I haden't played with anything for a looong time. Not since I was a little kid.
It was kinda lame for me to celebrate with leaves, but I didn't give a care! I was going on a date with the girl of my teenage dreams. And nothing could make me happier.
Next update, we'll go along with Spencer on his date with Melissa and see how the night plays out. :toothy7:
