“Julie, what am I going to do? I can’t even talk to her let alone to tell her that I love her. He said desperately.
“You just got to go for it. I know her and she told me that she got the hots for you. Hey I got an idea. Why don’t you ask her to the dance coming up?”
It sounded like a good idea, so he decided to talk to her. At weekend there was going to be a football game, that he knew she would be at, so he decided to go too. The cold autumn air was biting at his exposed skin like a wild squirrel that just found a nut. Ali was so nervous and his teeth sounded like a near by construction site hammering away at the cement. It was nearly the first half of the game when the first goal was scored and the supporter’s started to scream and yell.
He slowly gathered himself and started to walk up to her and said, Hi! So you like football too. It is a nice game, isn’t it. The conversation started to build. He felt confident. He asked, “so are you going to the dance with anyone?”
“No” she said in an angelic voice.
“Are you?” she replied.
“No. I was thinking maybe we could go… together?”
It was an eternity before she said yes. He was so excited, that he left the game and went to Julie’s to tell her the good news. He was so excited he was running and screaming as he ran to her house. He rang the doorbell only to be greeted by a dismal looking girl.
“Julie what’s wrong?” he asked
“We broke up,” she said. She knew that he would stop seeing her because she loved him deep down and he find the person he loves.
Ali couldn’t help but to give her a hug and try to console her. He began to see the tears form in her eyes and eventually run down her face and slide in to the corner of her mouth. She cried with near silence and he held her tight and listened to her breathing against his chest.
“Julie, it’s all right these things. I did what you said and asked Haley for the dance today.” Ali expressed his feelings.
“That’s great,” she said as she tried to mask her emotion and seem happy for him. Ali could tell right away that she was in pain because he felt it deep down in his heart too.
It was the night of the big dance Ali was excited and looking forward to it. He was meeting his date at the dance and Haley wasn’t able to come out before the time, so he took the liberty of taking out Julie for the dinner. They sat across from each other and stared playfully at one other. It was like a typical date, the music playing in the background, the sound of the cooks frying and boiling away. Ali could smell Julie’s perfume across the table. It was the fragrance that almost all the girls have. Her hands were cold and smooth like a piece of ice that refuses to melt.
Ali said, I can’t wait to go to the dance! I still can’t believe she said yes”.
Julie said, Yeah me too. I’m so happy for you Ali and I hope that everything goes alright.”
Ali and Julie arrived at the dance and right away he started looking for her. He found her after a little while. She was sitting on one side waiting for him. They talked for a little while. The music was fast and they started to dance. At the end the music slowed down and they danced close together. Everyone changed partners, then Ali and Julie. Both started to dance, with other people at first Ali hesitated and later on he felt something in his heart and thought to himself that why Julie was crying when she said we broke up. He realised that it was Julie that he was looking for not Haley.
It took him by shock because his friendship with Julie from the Primary school to the end of High school was nothing like the feeling he had for her right now. He was further a field looking for something, which was so closed to him in his entire life.
He took Julie to the side and told her straight away, that she was the one that he was looking for not Haley.
