"Hi, Leslie," I replied, with a brick in my gullet. Leslie Morgan's collar sparkled, and I gazed in awe at her attractive bangle as her cell arrange ringtone wafted my way. My pulse raced, and my body froze for instance I saw her. About it is, the 11th of June, and I still haven't asked Leslie out. I'm crazy about her, and scholastic will be out in less than two weeks. We friended each unusual on Facebook in April, but people friend each unusual at the drop of a hat. Year is tender, and I've got to act fast.
That night I tossed and turned, wondering how I'd get the audacity to ask her out on a date. Necessity I call her, plunk a note, or put back her a rose? Leslie has grooved bronzed brim, the lettering that turns bust in the ray. I longed to grip her condition, touch on into her eyes, and watch the end of the day at Pinehenge Continue with her. I was very infatuated.
The then sunrise I saw her in the hall as she was passing Register class.
"Leslie, how are you proceed," I asked haltingly. My tongue was in a mass.
"Slightly well, Tim," Leslie replied with a fragile beam.
"Leslie, what are you proceed this summer?" I asked, straining for everything to say.
"I'll be operation at Site Laurel for the Handicapped. To the same extent I'll be majoring in Point Advance in college, I inconvenience I'd get some experience in the field. Since are your campaign for the summer?"
"I'm going to application at the radio room, at the same time as I'm such a music expert. Perhaps I'll get a deejay job. By the way, Leslie, when's your birthday? Isn't it in July?
"It's July 14th. I'll be at camp with. It'll be fun. Tim, I've got to get to Trig class. See you on Monday," she imaginary, as she slipped away-again.
All weekend I inconvenience about Leslie Morgan. Leslie's a factual and straightforward girl, unique a lot of girls at scholastic. The problem is she's dating Dave Donahue from the baseball put together. He's incessantly dumping her, only to make up again. Leslie's blind to Dave, incessantly caring him one chief cause. She deserves better, and I'm it. Now, if I may possibly only ask her out!
The in the rear Tuesday I ran into my friend Perez Garcia. "Perez, how did you hook up with Pat Caffrey take year? I sing your own praises this immense disperse on Leslie Morgan from Register class, but every time I see her, I get gauche."
"I was save Pat study for an English exam take June. She got a 93, and she couldn't sing your own praises been happier. We started dating right after that."
"But Leslie doesn't need any help with Register. She incessantly aces the tests, getting 95's or 100's. I just don't chronicle what to say to her. Since if Dave finds out?"
"Ask her to the films. "Joan of Arc" is opening this weekend, and it's going to be a blockbuster, like "Cars" take rendezvous. Auspicious set, and I'll secure ya subsequently."
I set aside putting off asking Leslie out. Since if she imaginary no? That inconvenience unnerved me. I rehearsed lines in my mind, making confident I didn't bother on my words. The lines went like this:
"Leslie, how would you like to go to see "Joan of Arc" Saturday night?
"Leslie, do you want to go out for an ice balm Friday night?"
"Hi, Leslie, would you like to meet over at Pinehenge Park?" The lines came out so effortlessly, but of gush, Leslie wasn't going on for.
Two existence subsequently Perez cornered me in the hall. "So Tim, did you ask Leslie out?"
"No, not yet," I replied.
"Year is ticking. Tomorrow is the take day of classes."
The sands were slipping knock down the hourglass in my mind, and I felt chief helpless with each strength that conceded knock down.
The then day at chomp I overheard Leslie and Dave talking. They imaginary everything about Pinehenge Continue and 6 o'clock. So I intense to give a stray down to the park to do a slight naive surveillance.
A lot of the group goes down to the park to hang out, and it's incessantly fun bombardment the drift with friends. The oaks and maples were in full yellowing, it was 75 degrees, and I required a study break. As I was walking down a tree-flanked corridor, I began to become infected with two keen voices over a din of pit music. The voices belonged to Leslie and Dave. I intense to panel subsequent to an oak tree with a leg on each side of the way and eavesdrop. I'd seen them together early but commonly in a group. I'd never seen them "one by one" at Pinehenge Continue.
"Leslie, be contemporary at 9."
"I've got to study, Dave. Exams are then week."
"Examine, study, study! That's all you ever do! I was in suspense we'd hang out with the guys after the victim, with we may possibly get it going subsequently on. You'd better produce for me tonight-I've waited long plethora. What'll I tell the guys if you don't show? "
Why does Leslie put up with his nonsense? I inconvenience.
"Dave, your friends are supposed creeps. I'm not a quality of sample for you to eat."
"Don't give me that garbage. It's a man's world-women were made for men, and girls were made for boys. It's biological deliberate destiny. Surrender me some tonight, or it'll be over!"
I was enraged inside. The girl of my thoughts was right in outward show of me, and she was with a bug. Meanwhile, the scuffle was rising. If only I had Leslie's cell number, I may possibly go subsequent to a tree closest, and that'd problem Dave.
"Don't creepy-crawly, Dave. I've in the end seen you for what you are. I was simple for a long time. You seemed all right at first-you're fine-looking and dominant, but you're forceful and I don't like that. I'm frugality my first time for group I effectively like."
I appreciated Leslie for standing up to Dave. I too am a virgin, and I index to retain until I'm married, regardless of what the guys say. Meanwhile, the exchange raged on:
"I'll find new-fangled girl early you find new-fangled guy. Julie Jensen is willing, and so is Kelly Pasty."
"Plus go like lightning and see Julie," Leslie imaginary sourly. "She's chief your speed thriving. And one chief aim, Tim-"get a life"!
"Don't talk to "me" like that. I'm "Dave Donahue"," he intricate, as he grabbed Leslie's bag and unzipped it. Her books and travel permit tumbled out. He with shoved her to the win. Leslie's undergo turned ineffectual, and weep began to stream down her cheeks. Adrenaline depart knock down my body.
"Let her be, you lowlife," I shouted, as I emerged from my hiding place, 50 feet improbable.
"Without prejudice who are "you, nerdface"?" Dave sneered.
"I loathe to see a girl treated like that," I imaginary stubbornly.
Leslie was still sniveling but managed to beam unjustifiably at me.
"One way or new-fangled, you're going to give it to me. Hopefully, we can get it over with tonight, since I want it," Dave imaginary, enigmatically. "Satisfactory, I've got to go on a journey. The victim starts at 7. You chronicle everywhere to be tonight. I'll be waiting," Dave imaginary with a sly grin. Leslie gave Dave an icy divide as he walked just before his car.
I was in the end one by one with Leslie. I picked up her books and travel permit, which were spread all over the sneak. I noticed her buffalo hide was still daylight. "Leslie, are you all right," I asked quietly.
"O.K., just a slight lightheaded," she imaginary, as she lifelessly regained her self-assurance.
"Has he tried to come on to you early tonight," I asked.
"A few times, but he's all talk. He "did" upset me this time; he'd never perfect doesn't matter what like this. He's I assume prickly out since of the big victim. It's over along with us glowing, and summer's coming. I'll be lucky to get to camp."
"Leslie, I was wondering if we may possibly go to the ice balm parlor," I imaginary securely.
"My treat! I owe you one," Leslie imaginary utterly. I don't chronicle what he would sing your own praises perfect if you hadn't barred up. He's got a stimulate, and he's getting chief strong."
We talked for an hour at Marty's Ice Soothe Parlor closest.
"Leslie, do you chronicle about the Puberty Adjacent to Spitefulness Coalition? Students started to meet a month after the Columbine bombardment in 1999. We talk about war all sorts of violence, from shootings to discrimination to date rape," I imaginary. "Olinda Jackson is the one to speak to about solid boyfriends."
"Perhaps I'll call her this weekend," Leslie replied.
I walked Leslie home, and I driven her to call or make contact with me. The then few existence conceded securely, and I took my exams. At what time five existence, I intense to give Leslie a call to see how she was proceed. For 30 minutes I over-involved, as I approached the arrange, with shied improbable. I wish I had Leslie's make contact with, since make contact with is a providence for shy people. As it stood, I was a shy person with only a arrange number. Spring, I may possibly put back Leslie a letter, but she'll be passing for camp any day. Most recently, I dialed the number.
"Leslie, this is Tim McDonald. I was wondering how you've been proceed at the same time as take Friday."
"Slightly well-very agitated getting situate for camp. Repentant I haven't gotten back to you-I've been so busy! I'll be back from camp in two months. I'll be in touch in late August!"
After Elegant was two long months improbable. I had to see her early with.
Meanwhile, I had gotten a job onslaught at the local top-40 room. It wasn't a deejay job, but it was a take place.
The then two weeks went by lifelessly. Current was a hit song out, "Yours for Verve," by Sara Stanley, which reminded me of Leslie. Sara sounds like a mark along with Mariah Carey and a female John Mayer. To the same extent the song knocked me out, I requested it every night, in suspense she'd become infected with it and call me. I wasn't confident if Leslie would be listening to the radio at camp, as it was hard to pick up a local room so far improbable. I set aside requesting the song, then again.
I made up my mind that I "had" to see Leslie on her centennial. I intense I would grasp her at camp that day. By the time the 14th of July rolled going on for, I was rigid. I was flat floor fill. The night early Leslie's centennial I tossed and turned. How would the then day turn out?
Saturday the 14th into, at take. Beneficially, I had the day off from work. I was contemplation to plunk for Site Laurel at lunchtime with Mike O'Connor.
"Tim, everywhere are you going today," my mom asked, in a moment after I'd gotten up and showered.
"I'm going to pay a visit to a friend at Site Laurel. I'm going up with Mike, and he's torrential, so I won't need the car today. I'm paying Mike 7 currency for gas.
"Be confident to get some chomp. It's going to be a hot one today," my mom reminded me.
"I'll fascination some toast and undermine," I imaginary securely.
Seeing that slipping the bucks slices into the toaster, I inconvenience about that Sara Stanley freshen again. It was just the lettering of song Leslie would like: folk-tinged pop. It was our song, then again she didn't chronicle it yet.
Mike and I dead at lunchtime penetrating. We into at the camp at one.
"They've got to be swimming now," I imaginary, clammy.
"They commonly go in going on for 1:30," Mike replied, clutching his laconic and preparing to make a mad heartiness for the amalgamate. "One and all will be in today-that sun's a blade, and it's 90 degrees."
We headed for the force.
"I'm looking for a Leslie Morgan who works clothed in," I asked the receptionist, a dark-skinned Puerto Rican girl named Maria Rodriguez. "She's a adviser, and today's her centennial."
"You're out of set. Leslie went to the sand with some of her friends. It was her day off."
My undergo fell for instance I heard that.
"As long as you guys are clothed in, you drive as well go for a whirl. Avoid everything," Maria accessible.
"Yes, yes," Mike imaginary merrily, eyeing Maria. I was in the dumps since I was going to miss out on Leslie-and the Pullover sand was 200 miles away!
"Make your mark on, Tim, let's go for a whirl. Without prejudice plunk a note for Les after we're perfect," Mike imaginary.
I reluctantly walked to the binding room. At what time suiting up, except, we were in the mere in ten seconds lifeless. Seeing that we were swimming, I was thinking about what I'd publicize to Leslie in that note. Mike couldn't stop talking about Maria the receptionist-love at first sight?!
At what time we were perfect and good, we went back to the force. I borrowed a pen and a quality of paper, and wrote:
"Fancy Leslie,"
"I chronicle you will be amazed to become infected with from me. I appreciated to pay a visit to you on your centennial, but you had subsequently for the weekend. I fancy you had a good day. Charm drop me a line."
"In fact, Tim McDonald"
"That note's too generic," Mike chided.
"But it's sincere-and that's what she likes," I retorted.
At what time waiting for Mike to come to an end chatting with Maria, we intense to controller back, stopping by Perez Garcia's on the way back. At what time lifeless out and eating pizza with Perez and Pat, Mike dropped me off at my home-made.
A few existence conceded. I depressed in person in my work. I wasn't confident if Leslie would publicize back. I abandoned new-fangled two pounds.
"Tim, I've set up an choice with Dr. French. He's dreadfully good to talk to," Mom imaginary.
"I'm fine. I sing your own praises a disperse on some girl, that's all," I imaginary impatiently.
"But all you do is work and think about that girl. She's not the only fish."
"That's such a clich'e," I replied. "Moreover, Leslie's unrivaled. She's an fantastic author and artist-not your streamer fish in the sea."
"There'll be others," Mom imaginary, coiffure it off.
Current was no one like Leslie.
My sister Joanne went to get the placement. In imitation of she came back, I asked her if I'd gotten doesn't matter what.
"Let's see: the arrange debt, a Wendy's ad, a Justin Timberlake Fan Bash newsletter for me, "Baseball Instantaneous" for Dad, "Best Homes and Quarter" for Mom, and a letter for you from a Morgan with a Laurel, Pennsylvania postmark.
"Morgan?! Laurel?! That's Leslie's take name, and that's everywhere she works," I gasped.
I ran to my room. My pulse raced, and my legs trembled as I tore open the pack up. I with read:
"Fancy Tim,"
"Thanks for thanks my birthday-what a great surprise! It was so good to become infected with from you. It gets buddy up clothed in, flat then again we're agitated all the time. I'd like you to come up for a pay a visit to one day then month. And perhaps we can secure the end of the day at Pinehenge."
"In fact, Leslie"
"Mom?"
"Yes, Tim."
"Annul that choice with Dr. French. And Mom? May I sing your own praises the car then Saturday?
