Early before classes start, she's walking down the hall. She hears a voice calling her name. She looks up and he is running towards her -- the one who makes her laugh -- the one who cheers her up when she's depressed. He comes up close to her, so tall (compared to her). He gazes into her eyes so deeply and says "I don't know how to tell you this. You are so sweet and kind. You make me happy and you have a great personality. That makes you beautiful. I had a crush on you for the longest time. I really want to be with you... Will you go out with me? I've been longing to say these words..."

Oh how she has been longing to hear those words. But she responds to him, "You are so sweet and kind. I like you too... but you know I can't..."

He gazed deeper into her eyes. "I know how you feel.. but could we still see each other sometime at school? Could we call each other?"

She worries. "Yes."

They walk together down the hall. He puts his arms around her and she has the greatest feeling in the world--and at the same time, her stomach aches.

He says to her "I have these dreams about you. I call your name but something is holding me back from you. I try to reach you but you drift farther away as you try to reach for me in agony. I scream to you 'Don't leave me! I need you! Please don't go! Please don't leave me forever!' Then you slowly fade away as tear drops roll down your face. I kept remembering the image of you in an enchanting gown and me in a tuxedo."

She asks him, "What do you think your dream meant?"

He replies, "You tell me."

She starts walking away from him saying, "I have to go..."

The next day she is in 4th period class at her desk and a group of guys whisper and laugh wickedly. One of the guys comes up to her saying wickedly "So, I hear you like him." and his friends laugh. So she picks up her things without looking at the guy or saying a word and just sits at a desk opposite of the guy, which ticks the guy off real bad. Just when the guy is about to get up and go where she is, the class hollors at the guy to leave her alone.

Bell rings. She quickly walks out as the guy follows. The guy yells "Who do you think you are?!" She keeps walking so the guy stands where the guy is and yells angrily "You belong to me and no one else!" She walks out of the building as she sees him -- the one that makes her laugh -- the one who cheers her up when she is down. He's with his group of friends and he calls her name. But she keeps walking and sits on a rock outside on the rock, in the intense heat.

Her crowd of friends runs to her and pulls her off from the rock and screams "Happy Birthday!" as they shower her with hugs, gifts and balloons. Completely surprised, she thanks them. Then quickly they apologize that they need to leave and catch a bus.

She's left with hands full of balloons and gift bags filled with gifts. She turns around and almost bumped into a guy -- the guy who was following her -- the guy who's obsessed with her -- the guy who she hardly knows -- the guy who she does not like at all.

The guy grabs her wrists and screams "Why you always diss'n me?!" as she tries to struggle to become free. She lets all her anger out by shoving the guy down to the ground. The guy becomes more ticked off, grunts and gets up walking towards her as she stares the guy down, as the guy tries to stare her down.

But out came him -- the one who makes her laugh -- the one who cheers her up when she's down, and yells "Hey! Leave her alone!" The guy responds "Why you mess'n with my business, huh??? You best stay away from my girl! And you best not mess with me 'cuz you also owe me!"

Then he responds to the guy. "I'm sorry, my friend -- you do what you want. You like who you want. Keep believeing she's yours. Keep believing she likes you. Keep believing you know her and she is meant to be with you -- and keep believing she means a lot to me." He regrets that he says that. He knows whatever he says, it doesn't matter to the guy. The guy will always be there every step she takes.

So she says "I have to go..." He then says mournfully "No... please don't go..." But she drifts away... as tears roll down her face...
