It Takes Two, Cindy Tran [list of e readers txt] 📗

guess it could," I said, confused.
"Yep, text me all the details of what happened.. And did your parents let you?" Miranda asked me.
"Yeah, I called them, they said they let me, but I got to walk home," I said.
"Oh, okay. Remember. Text me all the details!!!" She said.
"Got it," I said giving her the thumbs up sign.
After lunch we had recess, which seemed kind of short. And our two classes were ever shorter.. All we did was play board games and such. I guess when you're having too much fun, time runs past you.
The leaving bell rings and everybody grabs their backpacks and rush out the door. I wait at the door for Hunter. Then when we go outside, he shows me where his house is.
It looks pretty close but not that close. Just close. We walked there. It took like twenty minutes but it was fast, because we talked through then entire walk.
Then we arrived at his house. Just as I remembered. Nice and pretty. The lawn looked nice with the flowers.
The inside of his house was really tidy and clean. Then he took me upstairs to his room.
We laid down on the mattress and took our books out.
We started with the first page, lines. Even though lines are easy, we still had to study.
After we studied lines, we quizzed each other.
Then we went on to the next page. Polygons. Again it was easy, but we still had to study it. And after that we quizzed each other.
Then the next page, Fractions, Improper Fractions, Mixed Numbers, and How To Turn A Mixed Number Into An Improper Fraction and How To Turn An Improper Fraction To A Mixed Number. That was kind of hard. Because there were a lot of words and pages.
In the middle of studying, I put my hand out in front of me. My arm was tired so I thought I'd move it there. Then I saw Hunter's hand move. Right next to mine. Then on top of it. A first I thought it was an accident. But when I moved my hand to flip the page and put it in front of me again, Hunter put his hand on top of mine.
Then I thought he's doing this on purpose. Does he like me? Probably not..
Then while I was reading a sentence Hunter looked at me and said, "Cynthia, I've been wanting to tell you this since we started middle school."
"What?" I asked.
"Well, it's kind of embarrassing but, I sort of, have a crush on you," he said.
Is this true?Is this a dream? Is he saying the words Ive been wanting to hear my entire life?
"Oh, really?" I said.
"What you don't like me?" he asked.
"No, it's just, I've been having a crush on you too," I said.
"Really? How come you never told me?" he asked.
"I thought you didn't like me, so I kept it to myself," I said.
"Really? That's why I haven't told you," he said.
"Oh," I said, still shocked.
I tried to talk about something else to change the subject. Like Miranda's play. But all he did was just sit there and watch me. Saying no words.
Then he leaned into me and kissed me on my lips. I was in shock. My biggest crush ever. Said he had a crush on me and now he's kissing me? This is a dream come true!!
He finally let go and said, "Sorry.."
"It's just you're so beautiful," he said.
"Oh, really?" I said, blushing.
"Yeah," he said, smiling.
He really likes me.. For me. Not for my brains. Not for my looks. Well kinda my looks but he likes me. For me. Oh my gosh.. I'm in love.
Then I leaned closer to him and kissed him on the lips. This time longer. It felt good. I felt brave. I felt free.
I felt Hunter's hand on my waist, so I put my arms around him. His lips tasted like heaven. As I dreamt it would be.
Then he let go and said the words I wanted to hear my entire life.
"Cynthia Tran, I love you."
"I love you too," I said.
Then he grabs me and kisses me some more.
I can't believe it. He really does love me. I've been waiting for this to happen for my entire life.
I let go and he says, "You sure do kiss good for a 15 year old."
"You too," I said, in love.
Then I get up and put my math textbook in my backpack. And I put my backpack on my back.
"Well, I better get going. Bye Hunter," I said.
"Aww, You have to leave?" He asked
"Yeah. It's getting dark," I said.
"Oh, well. Bye," He said with sadness in his voice.
"Don't worry, we'll see each other tomorrow," I said, trying to cheer him up.
"Yeah, true," he said.
"Here's my number. Call me or text me," I said with a wink.
I wrote down my phone number and I set it on the table in front of me. Then I went up to him and hugged him then left.
Chapter 4

When I got home, I went into my bedroom, and texted Miranda immediately.

Me: Hey!!
Miranda: Heyyy ;-D How did it go?
Me: Good. It went awesome <3
Miranda: Really? Tell me all the details.
Me: Well he said he had a crush on me... <3
Miranda: OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMGGGG!!!
Me: IKR!!!! AHHHH
Miranda: Then what!?
Me: He kissed me and I kissed him ;3
Miranda: No way.. I don't believe you.
Me: Way. It's real..
Miranda: AHHHHH
Me: Ikr!!! AHHH
Miranda: Awh poo, i gtg byee D;
Me: Aww Bye Mir Mir D;

Then I check my phone for any messages, and I got one. From Hunter!! Wow that was fast!

Hey,
I got bored..
So yeah..
Um anyways. I love you <3
Love Hunter <3

I can't believe that Hunter and I are together!! I can't believe I'm with the man of my dreams!!
I wonder what the girls would think. I think Miranda would tell them.. I'm kinda glad if she would. So I don't have to waste my voice telling them.
So now my life is perfect. I got the perfect friends. The perfect family. The perfect school. And the perfect boyfriend!!
I wonder what Hunter will do tomorrow.. Will he tell his friends? Will he tell everybody? Will they be mad at me? Will they make fun of me? Sigh. Guess not perfect after all.

Chapter 5

The next day seems like usual. Everyone goes on with their lives at school. The girls come and talk to me about Hunter. I guess everything is normal.
"Omg, you and Hunter kissed?" Kathy asked.
"Yeah, we did," I replied.
"No way," said Sheila.
"Way," Miranda said.
"He also told me he had a crush on me all this time," I said.
"And so were you!!!" Melissa squealed.
"Yep," I said.
Then Hunter comes right the the middle of Miranda and I. He puts his arms around me.
"Hey ladies," Hunter said.
"Hey Hunter!" We all said at the same time.
"How's everybody?" he asked.
"Good," Miranda said.
"Great," Melissa said.
"Epic," Sheila said.
"Awesome," Kathy said.
"Its great now that you're here," I said with a wink.
All the girls awed.
Hunter smiles at me. I was going to say something but the first period bell rings.
"Aww, I got to go to my class.. Bye ladies! Bye Cynthia," he said kissing me on the cheek and rushing to class.
"Oh my gosh, you two are so cute together!!!" Miranda said.
"Hush," I said, embarrassed.
"No need to be embarrassed, it's a good thing!" Kathy said.
"Come one girls, we got to get to class. We're going to be late," Sheila said.
We all rushed to class and we got there there on time. A minute early. Mr. Balderson was talking about the STAAR test.
Turns out there's about 60-70 questions. That's a lot. But he said that we have four hours. And when we're done early, we raise our hand for the teacher to collect it. Then we just sit there and wait until everybody else is done.
Then he tells me the most important thing ever. The test determines if you pass eighth grade or not..
I'm pretty scared, but I have faith in myself. I get good grades so I should get a good grade on this. Sigh.
Then after the test talk, we had some schoolwork about all we learned about. Only ten questions, but they took some time.
I was the first one to turn it in to Mr. Balderson. Everyone else was still concentrating. And taking their time. Well I kinda write fast, so that explains it.
