Perfectly Imperfect

A long day

Chapter 14

The nurse came in multiple times to take my temperature. Lola and Jasmine got my homework, and when I was doing it, my head hurt so much that they ended up doing it for me. I took a few naps, and watched tv.

Near the end of the day someone knocked on the door. I wanted to say come in, but I couldn't. Someone opened the door and I sat up. "Hey Lil'" Carter said. I got an app on my iPod that said what I wrote, so I "said" "Hello Carter, how are you? I'm not supposed to talk because it gives me a terrible headache. What's behind your back?" He had one hand strangely positioned behind his back. Carter smiled and said, "I'm good, and your present." He moved his hand and revealed a dozen roses, and in the middle, a Lilly. "Awwww, thank you Carter, but you really didn't have to. " My iPod said in a monotone voice. "No, I did have to, and I got this Lilly from the stream that I had my date with Charlotte." Carter said, and put air quotes around date. I smiled and had my iPod say "Hahahaha. Thank you, but that won't help my problem." "What's your problem?" he asked. "I may not be able to be in the musical because of my illness." My iPod said. "You'll be ok." He said. "Yeah right, the only good thing about this is that it isn't contagious." My iPod responded. "The only good thing?" He asked. "Yeah." My iPod said. Carter smiled. "Lilly," He kneeled down next to me. "Your going to find a silver lining on this cloud, I just know it, your smart, kind, talented, and beautiful. I know you'll be an wonderful Anna tomorrow during the musical you amazing girl." He said, then he slowly leaned in and kissed me. It wasn't a normal kiss, it was one that would stir something inside of you, like the perfect kiss, with the perfect guy, in the perfect place. Ok, maybe this wasn't the perfect place, but it was still perfect. I leaned in and had my first kiss with Carter next to my bed. "I think I already have found my silver lining." I said between kisses and laughed. I didn't stutter once. We continued to kiss and laugh for awhile longer.

When he left, it was dark out, and I was feeling a lot better.

Later that night, Lola and Jasmine came and noticed that I was happier than normal, and I felt better than I did earlier.They kept bugging me and I couldn't hold it in anymore. I burst out telling them what happened. And they were like, "OMG! I knew that you had an emotional connection! When did he ask you out? How did his lips feel?!" and that was enough for me to yell "ENOUGH! Ok? I kissed him, he didn't ask me out, and I don't know how his lips felt! OK? now I need to sleep because the musical's tomorrow, OK? goodnight!" And that was that.
