the radio on and Jay-Z song 99 problems was playing. Shawn and Jason started rapping along. Ana laughed and joined in. I finally relaxed and decided to join the fun too. It was really a nice night. Our windows were rolled down and I had the nice breeze flowing through my hair, while we cruised down the streets blaring the radio, singing our lungs off. Once again, I was having fun. At one point I saw Jason adjust his rear view mirror. Maybe it was my mind but I think he adjusted it to look at me. He kept looking up at the mirror, and everytime he did I looked right back. He smiled. Then I smiled. Aw man, I like him. I'm gushing. I looked away from the mirror and looked out my window. After a few songs, we finally made it to the beach. Jason barely parked the car before Shawn and Ana ran out. I guess they were really excited. I watch them run onto the beach being very playful with each other. Shawn picked up her and tried to bring her into the water, and now they were wrestling in the sand. I laughed. Jason got out the car and opened my door. The looks he was giving me was making my heart race. He held his hand out to help me get out of the car. I took his hand, and with one tug, I was out. He was strong and I was very close to him. He pulled me closer and he closed the car door shut. Wonder if he heard or felt how fast my heart was going. Then he brushed some hair out of my face and he stared deeply into my eyes. Oh my God, I was going to go into cardiac arrest. What is going on here? What does he want from me? "I want to get to know you." He said as if he heard my thoughts. "What um, what do you want to know?" I found the nerve to reply as i backed into the car. He came in closer, and replied "Everythig" and touched my face again. God help me.

 

Let It Rain

 We talked for hours. He asked so many questions. I never had someone ask me so many questions before. He wanted to know about my childhood, and where my family was from. He asked me about high school and if I missed my friends back home. What friends? But I lied and said yes. I also left out the part of how fat I was and how lonely I felt in high school. I did not want him to see that side of me. I wanted him to think I was cool and popular. I wanted him to feel like I was a catch. Other then my father, I have never been close like this to any guy. I looked over towards the beach and saw Ana and Shawn sitting next to each other. They finally stopped play fighting and looks like they were doing the same thing we were. Just a few moments later we heard the rumble in the sky. No rain please, Go away rain. I did not want this night to end. I looked at Jason and he smirked. "Look like its going to pour down." No rain, go away. Just then I look over and see Ana and Shawn getting up, brushing the sand off their clothes. Maybe it was time to wrap up this amazing night. Ana shouted towards us from across the beach, "It's going to rain!" At that point it started drizzling, and then began to pour down. I could hear Ana shrek and Shawn starts to laugh. "Oh shoot!" Shawn shouts, while laughing and running to take cover. Jason runs towards the car door, and shouts at me, "Jules get in!" I smiled at him, and said "I'm not scared of no rain. Let it rain!" I laughed.  I could tell he was surprised at my statement because of the look he gave me. He slammed the car door shut and laughed. Thats when I started running towads the beach. Ana and shawn at first were confused to what was happeneing. They stopped running towards the car and joined me in this laughter and madness. When I looked back, Jason was right behind me joining in on the fun. "We better not get struck by lighting!" Ana stated twirling in the rain. "Let's get in the water!" Shawn shouted. I laughed and tried to ignore Shawns statement. I guess Jason picked up on the fact that I ignored Shawns statement and came up from behind me and pcked me up. He laughed and then said to me, "We're going in the water." I panicked, and then I laughed. He was so strong, and his grip was so tight. My feet were not touching the ground as he lead me to the water. "No, no wait" I pleaded and laughed. He then said "Why? We are already wet." I some how broke out of his grip and ran away from him. He started to chase me and caught me. I laughed so hard. I forgot he was an athlete. Did I really think I could escape? He grabs me by my arms and bear hugs me. We are so close now. He is looking deeply in my eyes and his smile begins to fade. I think he wants to kiss me. I want to kiss him. I could see the seriousness in his eyes. Oh my goodness. Is this about to happen? Am I going to get my first real kiss in the rain, all soaked and wet. My thoughts were going mad again. I started referring back to an article in Seventeen magazine saying I should not kiss on the first date. Was this a date? I don't know if we could consider this a date. I did not know what to do at the moment, and he was so serious, I could not hold the stare and looked away. He grabbed my face again and turned my face towards him again, and smiled at me. He leaned in and kissed me on my forehead. I melted. It seemed like he knew I was not ready to be kissed. I wanted to kick myself though because I think I was ready, but I let fear get a hold of me. He then released me from his grasp, and said "Hey Shawn, we have to go. Practice tomorrow morning." Shawn looked at his watch and said "Shoot, its almost 3 in the morning!" My parents would kill me if they knew I was out until 3 in the morning on a school night. What they don't know wont hurt them, and tonight was definetly a night to remember. We all headed back to the car and rode back to the school. We sat in the same seats, and I caught Jason looking at me a couple of times again through the rear view mirror. I smiled. He made me feel amazing. I prayed the connection we had would continue. Maybe he could be my Romeo. I gushed more at the thought.

 

Now I'm sitting on the bed in my wet clothes just reminscing the whole night, while my roomate is fast asleep. I want her to wake up so that I could tell her all about my night, but it is almost 4 in the morning and I'm sure she has class in the morning. I do to. First day of Chemistry. I know that I am going to need a huge cup of coffee to stay awake. Chemistry is not an easy class. I needed to get out of these wet and sandy clothes and hit the bed. I took a shower and got into my Pajamas. I had to gush some of my feeling into my journal, set my alarm, and fell fast asleep with probably the biggest smile on my face. What an amazing night.

 

 

Chemistry

 My alarm went off and I literally felt like I just laid my head on the pillow to fall asleep. When I finally struck up the nerve to snooze my alarm clock, I see my roomie in her bra and jeans in the closet searching for what I was assuming a blouse. I sit up and groan. "Good morning Stacey." She looks back and says, "Well good morning to you too. You look like hell." I felt like it to. I was so tired, and today was the first day of my chemistry class. Chemistry isn't easy. "Yeah I got back really late." I reply. "Oh yeah, what were you out doing? Or should I say who?" she jokes. "No no no, I was at the beach." She picks a t-shirt and puts it on. "That would explain your hair." She says sarcasticly. I instantly get up to look at myself in the mirror. I had a huge frizzball on my head. There was not enough time to straighten my hair before class at 9 am. I panicked. What if I see Jason going to class. I want him to still be interested in me, and not look at me like I was a huge dork. I was starting to freakout and started grabbing my hair to see if I can attempt to straighten it with my hands. I look back at Stacey and said "help" with a pouting face. "Ugh, you better not make me late. Sit." Stacey grabs a chair and a bottle of mousse from her dresser. "You're the best roomate ever." I say to sugar her up. "Yeah yeah." She replies. As she is detangling my hair and practically adding the whole bottle of mousse in my hair, I begin to tell her about my night. I told her that we all got stuck in the rain and we were carefree about it. "So, you like Jason huh?" she asked. I don't know why that question scared me so bad. Would she say something to him, maybe revealing the dork that I'm already am? Or tell him that she has been picking out my clothes and doing my hair and makeup. Was she really trying to be a friend? Did she like Jason? "I think hes hot." I say prematurely but wanted to kick myself after I said that. Stacey laughs and says, "Girl, you are not the only one." That sort of made me feel at ease.
