Lover's Prelude- Chapter 16

Chapter 161

Dianna couldn’t believe how much fun she’d had  with  Jimmy on Friday  night.  She was really hoping that  he would ask her out again soon.  During lunch  Dianna  excitedly told all her friends about her  date with  Jimmy. “ So do you think  he’ll ask you out again?”  Abby asked  “I  don’t know but I’m sure hoping so.” Dianna said as she crossed her fingers underneath the table  The bell rang signaling the end of lunch and  Dianna headed off toward English.    When she arrived there she noticed that they had a sub.  “Good afternoon  Mrs.  D’ambrose  is  dealing with a family emergency and will be out for a few days.  I’m Ms. Andrews and  I will be filling in for her.”  Dianna looked at the agenda on the board and pulled out her weekend homework.  After homework correction it was time for scene analysis of the scene they’d had to read  in  A Midsummer Night’s Dream over the weekend.   Then finally it was time for creative writing. She pulled out her creative writing notebook and went to the section marked  Private and wrote the following poem:2

You are so beautiful to me3

Oh my  darling can’t you see?4

I’ve loved  you from afar5

For the longest while6

I was  lured in so quickly 7

By your charming smile8

We get along so well9

Eventually we’ll make a great couple10

This I can tell11

You’re  so amazing on your electric guitar12

You’ll always  be  my shining star13

I love you  Jimmy!14

She then flipped to the non-private section of her notebook and wrote a few nature haikus and other random poems.  Then the bell rang signaling the end of class and Dianna moved on to her sixth and seventh period classes as if she were floating.   All  she could think about was Jimmy and hope that  sometime soon he’d ask her on another date. 15
