I Guess Dreams Can Come True

Here I was again, it was a Saturday night and instead of partying with my nonexistent friends, I was sitting at home drawing again… fun. I was just about to get up to go get a few of my sharpies when Jane busted through the door with her millions of existing friends with beer in their hands, Jane is my roomie, we have been roomies since college, she’s one of those girls who parties every night, all night, and can’t go out of the house without makeup, and is one of those girls who gets ALL the guys. And I’m one of those girls who would rather sit at home and contemplate life all night, and would look pretty if I actually gave a crap about my appearance. Anyway, this wasn’t a new thing for her, to be coming home with 30 friends or so for a party, I’ve become pretty used to this situation and have made up my own escape plan to get out of the house without being sucked into the dreadful party. I huffed loud enough for Jane to hear me, but she ignored me anyway. I popped up from the couch and slipped on a pair of old black converse and grabbed my teenage mutant ninja turtles bag, I have a lot of places I could go, but my usual place was the vintage store from down the road, it was my comfort area. I walked into the rusty smelling shop and nodded towards the store owner, James.

“Another date with the batman comics, Kate?” James asked with a smirk.

I sighed, “Yeah, any new ones?”, he nodded. I headed straight for the old batman comics, I started to shuffle through them on the big book case only to realize there was someone on the other side of the book shelf, it was a boy. I ignored the boy to continue shuffling through the books, I moved slowly from one side of the book shelf to the other, and I could hear a scoot of feet on the concrete floor every time I moved mine. Then I looked over to see the boy was mimicking me. I scooted my feet again, he did the same. I moved 3 comics, so did he. I looked at him through an opening space of the old books, he looked at me too, once he saw I could see him he quickly moved his eyes from mine to the floor. This continued for about 5 minutes until I decided to say something.

I moved 3 books out of my way again so I could see him, “What are you doing, dude?!” I hissed at the boy. He smirked. Did he just smirk?! I moved to the end of the book shelf so I could see all of him, and of course he met me there.

“Dude…Wha-“ And before I could even finish my sentence he interrupted me.

“Andy.”. I stared at him blankly for a second.

, “K-Kate…”.

“Well, Kate I like your taste in comics.” He said in this stunningly deep voice.

“Thaaanks… you too I guess, but that’s not what I was going to ask you.” I dragged out.

“Oh, I’m sorry… You’re just so beautiful I couldn’t help but-“ He said in his deep, beautiful voice again.

“But MOCK me?” I said in a rather annoyed voice. He laughed a bit, then I grabbed my bag and a few new comics and headed towards the front of the store to pay again, he followed me without me noticing.

“Is this all you’ll be getting today, Kate?” James asked.

“Yeah, that-“ And I was cut off by someone tapping on my shoulder, I spun around only to see the boy from the comic shelf earlier right behind me with a small half smile on his face.

“I uhm… I was wondering…” He scratched the back of his neck “I was wondering if you wanted to meet up some place later today or tomorrow or something…” He said nervously.

“MEET you later? Are you kidding? I just met you, and you’ve already started stalking me, and want me to go somewhere with you.” I said rudely, I didn’t mean to be rude, it’s just that… I don’t want him to like me, I don’t want to disappoint him like I do to everyone else too. He stood there for a second then reached across the counter and slipped a small piece of paper into my comic, then left. I spun back around to look at James and pay for my things then go somewhere else, maybe the library to read for a bit, then go home, they were probably gone by now, at a bar or something. James gave me a look of Are-you-kidding- me- I- really- can’t- even-believe-you-right-now.

“Hey, I don’t need your crap too…” I said to James. He just shook his head and handed me my comics after I payed. I walked out to my car and sat in my seat for a second, wondering exactly had just gone on, then I remembered my slip of paper he gave me in my comic. I grabbed my bag from the back seat and took out the comic I thought he put the small piece of paper in. I flipped through the pages until the paper fluttered out and into my lap. I tossed my comic into the passenger seat and read the paper, it had his phone number on it, I rolled my eyes.

“Of course…”. Then I blushed… why was I blushing? I don’t like this boy, I don’t, I have a boyfriend… and that’s the end of that. I drove home, and I’m surprised I even stayed on the road, because all I could think about the whole time was that boy in the vintage store. I pulled into the drive way and stuffed the comics into my bag. Just as I was getting out of the car I looked over to see my boyfriend’s car in my drive way.

“Not again…” I sighed “Haven’t I dealt with him enough?” I walked straight inside to see him sitting on the couch in the living room, but as soon as I closed the door he walked right over to me, then I felt it, his knuckles right across the side of my face, and it stung, I stumbled back and grabbed the side of my face.

“I’m sorry!” I said in a pathetic voice.

“Why did you go out without telling me, stupid?! Who were you with?!?!” He yelled at me.

“I’m sorry, I forgot, I just went to th-“ and I stopped to look behind me, the door opened and in walked my savior.
