Valentines day.I have almost forgot how much I hate it. It is like a painful memory that never goes away. I wish I hade some one to share my pain with, but all my friends have gone and left me. The only comfort I get is from the bottom of a frosting can. My favorite is vanilla. But if only I could find someone to share this most horrid day with it would be.
"Hey get your head out of the clouds Nick!" A pretty girl in a black sweatshirt is standing under me. I wish I could kiss her, but I finished putting up the pink garland I was holding in my hand. The room was transformed from a boring sterile cafeteria to a boring sterile pink garlanded cafeteria. I looked around the horribly decorated room looking proud, but was really thinking, ' What a waste of time and money.' I noticed there was a person standing next to me, so I walked to the door. The reflection in the window almost made me run away. It was the girl from earlier and, from her expression, she looked confused. I wanted to go back and apologies but I left the cafeteria with her standing there in my mind. ' She's so beautiful' I thought to myself. "Argh!" my mind was against me.
Cheers erupted from the Gym nearby. I snuck in to see that our team was loosing, but that didn't matter. They had their sweethearts to break their sour mood. I hate Valentines Day; it just ruins a perfectly good gaming day. If there was a football game on I'd be there watching it with the other losers. Since I told my mother that I was staying over at my friend's house I could stay for the entire thing. That meant the clean up too, and that ended at around 1o'clock AM. "Quaker!" I jumped when Coach saw me and began to plan my will, for I thought it was the principal. I turned around to face a big man, I mean BIG! Coach was always like that so after a while you learn to love him, not literally of course. "Why aren't you out there playing," he was furious and his double chin bounced angrily. I stifled a laugh as I explained how student government came first. He nodded and gave me a well-padded slap on the shoulder, " Well, the cafeteria better look good." He turned to walk away when he heard the referee's whistle, " And Nick, you better not miss practice on Monday cause we're going to have some real fun," He waddled off to challenge the Referee again, and not the last either.
My eyes rolled reflexively and I decided to look for more pathetic decorations for the dance. I saw the girl again struggling with a tall ladder and decided to help her. She looked helpless as she struggled to get the big ladder through the door. I smiled broadly then quickly looked around to see if anyone saw me. She managed to get it though and set it up hastily, and climbed up it with silver dangly table drops for the entrance and began to tape it up. I inched closer to see if the ladder was going to fall. The ladder shuddered and the girl kept on taping up the drop. I stood near the ladder and just out of sight. The ladder buckled and the girl screamed and fell towards the hard linoleum. I reached out and caught her in my arms, her eyes were closed so I looked behind me to see where the ladder was and saw that I couldn't dodge if I had wanted to. I turned back around to se one eye was open and she let out a silent cry when hit my back. It didn't hurt but she was impressed, though I did feel something watery down my neck. 'Good,' I thought, ' she's impressed.' She looked at me with Aw.
" Thanks Nick," she sounded relieved, I figured that being crushed by a ladder wasn't her idea for fun. " .no problem" I set her down and itched the back of my neck to see if it was bleeding, I looked down at her. She was shaking so I hugged her and let her body rest against mine. She stopped shaking and smiled at me, I felt my heart pounding and my face redden. She stood on her toes and caressed my cheek with her lips. "Uh." was the only thing that I could say. " Would you be my valentine Kali?" I managed to say after some time. Kali looked up at me in shock, I thought I had done something wrong. She smiled," on one condition." I looked at her confused. I really loved her and asked what it was. " .That you get nothing for me on valentines day." "Why?" Her answer puzzled me. I thought that all girls liked to get gifts on this overly commercialized holiday. " Because supporting the card industry isn't what this holiday is all about, and besides I'd rather be with you." Our hands found each other and I found myself smiling, " Okay, but only if you don't get anything for me." We finished decorating the sterile cafeteria in what were the best decorations for it ever. And you know what, I still hate Valentines Day, but now I've found someone to hate it with.
