Second Chance

Wispy Figures

     I wake up to the light of the sun beaming through the window beside the bed. The clock on the nightstand is small and black in color. I pick it up and the clock says that it's ten o’ clock in the morning. Crap, I didn’t realize that I slept so late. A yawn is released as I sit up and find Damian sitting on the end of the bed. Where did he come from? 

“Morning.” He says with a small smile on his face. 

“Morning. Dude are you like a ninja or something?” I ask. 

“You always this sassy in the morning?” He replies. 

“I’m sassy all day every day. Especially in the morning.”  

        His laughter brings a small smile to my face. Damian is so sweet that it’s unreal. If you ask me, his kindness is one of his best personality traits. I remember coming to Spanish class one day and before the bell rang I was in the bathroom crying because I got an F on a test that I studied really hard for and on top of that my friends totally dissed me out of everything. It was like I wasn’t even there. My makeup was probably running down my face and I didn’t have time to wipe it up. Once the teacher was done yapping away he passed me a note. It read: 

You okay? I don’t know if you noticed but you have black lines running down your face..

-D

I figured it would be running down my face. So I flipped the note over and wrote: 

Yeah I noticed, thanks for the reminder. I’ll be okay. Just not having a good day and some people really drive me insane. 

-M

“What are you thinking about?” Damian asks. 

The memory fades away and I look back at Damian. “Spanish class. I completely forgot all about that class. No offense. But, I am glad that I forgot about Mrs. Bernard.” 

“None taken. Do you know when you have to be back? I can’t believe I’m saying this but I don’t really want you to leave. It gets pretty lonely around here.” He blushes and it’s so adorable. Since his cheeks are already rosy so when he blushes they just become more and more cute. To top it all off, he has dimples. Dimples!!! You have to admit, anyone with dimples is just adorable. 

“Honestly, I don’t want to leave either. I don’t have to be back at any specific time, just not at night would be preferable. Have you eaten breakfast yet? I’m starving.” 

“No not yet, I woke up only a few minutes before you. I can make some scrambled eggs or we can go to Dunkin Donuts or-”

“DUNKIN DONUTS!!” I yell while lifting my hands in the air with joy. “I mean I’m sure you’re scrambled eggs are to die for but I haven’t had Dunkin Donuts in like a year!!” 

“Dunkin Donuts it is then. I don’t think I’ve ever met a person so perky in the morning. I’m literally a sloth in the morning.” 

“Anyone who doesn’t get excited about having Dunkin Donuts for breakfast is missing out.” 

“This is going to be a fun day.” He says. 

“Oh yeah? And why is that?” 

“Well, from the looks of it, you are already perky and it’s only ten o’ clock in the morning.” 

“If it was six o’ clock in the morning then it would be a different story.” 

“Oh I’m sure it would be.” 

We walk out into the living room and sit down on the couch. I realize that I have no clothes to change into, and I might need a shower considering that I probably smell like dirt.
