Yesterday was an ordinary day. I got up, got dressed, ate breakfast, brushed my teeth, did my hair.1
Of course, it was summer break, so no worries about school.2
Xavier was coming to pick me up so we could drive to random places.
Just before I was ready to go, Sam called and told me today was her lucky day. When I asked why, she said because her and James' song had just played.3
Xavier pulled up, and I told her that that was great, and that I had prior arrangements. 4
"Hey." He said casually.
"Hola." I said, adding unnecessary emphasis to the 'H' as I got in the car.5
Still thinking about what Sam had said, I decided to ask, break the contented silence.
I turned towards him, and his arm twitched a little bit on my shoulder. 6
"Babe, why don't we have a song?" I inquired.
"Love, we do. Just not the typical kind."
"Oh reeeeeaaally?" I said.
"Yep. It's the slam of screen doors, me sneaking out late and tapping on your window. It's when you're on the phone you talk reaaal slow, cuz it's late and your mom doesn't know."7
I smiled and felt my heart lift.

Taylor and Xavier? I laughed out loud. I love that song. Short piece, but portrays the song well. My mom doesn't like the song she says "talks slow? DO THEY MEAN TALKS LOW? doesn't matter how slow you talk!!!" LOL. I love the song, it's been one my favorites, i always liked Taylor Swift.

As you were kind enough to read my story, I was interested to read a few of yours. First of all, in general, I like your style. You have a very natural, if quirky, flow. Too many people try to change their vocabulary or sentence structure and it never works. Like me, I can tell that you probably have a little trouble concentrating on one thing at a time.
Keep writing, you're one of the better people I've seen on this site so far. -

Hey there you who has actually commented on my story, something even a few of my closest friends fail to do. I now feel completely obliged to read all your stuff. As for this... This was possibly the cheesiest thing I have ever read. Gives one a nice longing ache in the gut. Very nice.
