*************************************************************************

Grandma: "What was tha sweety"

Cleston (now standing in from of them) "Nothing grandma."

Grandma: "Well, alright. Come, hurry and eat. Your breakfest is getting cold"

           Cleston wa already starting to tower over his grandmother. That day Cleston's Home School teacher would be coming over for the first time. All the principle had said was tha it would be a student his age. His grandparents were thrilled when they found out it would be a girl. Cleston was equally as eagger.

There was a knock at the front oor. randma Geen walked to the door ad opened it. Thee standing was a beautiful twelve year old girl. She had long-wavy brown hair, deep-round green eyes. The green in her eyes matced the emerald green dress she wore. Along with converse that has obviously seen better days.

Someone coughd and I was thron out of my examination. Grandma Geen lead her in and shut the door behind her. My heart skipped a beat everytime she glanced my way. Wonder what her name is? It's got to be something beautiful. She spoke and it was like a thousand angles had constructed her voice out of the clouds, and sunshine. I leaned in to hear what she was saying an faintly heard her say:

"Margret, my name is Margret, but you can call me Magnet. Th's what my friends call me."

Grandma: "Oh, what a beautiful name! I'm Geen; you can call me anything you feel comfortable with. This is David-my husband, and Cleston-my grandson.

Margret turned to Cleston and it was like their whole world went up in sparks. She offeredher hand and shook Cleston's.

"Ah yes, the one hit wonder. That's the kids nickname for you, you know. 'Cause you knocked hatbullie on his back?" Margret teased.

Cleston was at a loss for words but managd to say 'Thanks.'.

Thanks? I can't believe I said hat! Atleast she knows about me. I hope it's all good news. We ended up just hanging ut that day. The principle adn't gotten my scores in yet to send me work. It was more than I could ask for. I got to spend a whole day with the mos beautiful girl I'v ever seen in my 12 years on earth.

***

    5 Years after Cleston and Margret me and started dating, she convincedhim to go back to school for his senior year. At first he denied her request. He wouldn't tell er why he refused to go. Margret is convinced it' his parents but Cleston refuses to open up. Margret confides in him about her parents death, but he doesn' budge. It's bee five years since they've known eachother and he still wouldn't open up. Not one time since they've been together has he spoken a single word about them.

***

Cleston pulled into the drive way reluctantly. He wasn't ready for all his secrets to come out of the closet. He loved Margret, but was afraid al this would ruin what they have. He can't out-run his problems anymore. Cleston walked into the house to find Margret fizing her a drink of pepsi. He quickly slipped up the elegant stairs by the door to their bedroom. Tiding up the floor he placed scented candles around the room. Not yet lighting them. He planned to do that with his power to demonstrate to Margret. He maid the bed with pedals laying on the bed shapped like a heart surrounding the ring. He began to strip his coat off when he heard her open the front door, discovering that he was home.

Cleston positioned himself in the computer chair by the door. He was hidden to see her reaction. Moments later Margret stumbled into the room, having just tripped over the top step. Margret caught a sight of the petals and instantly ran into the room. Making sure to leave the door open for light. It wasn't like Cleston to be romantic. Therewas a rail of red rose petals in a line neatly placed on the hard wood floor. Her eyes traveled to the bed where the petals made a perfect heart. Inside the heart, right in the middle, sat a black satin box. Margret slowly walked to the bed when she heard a small sigh come from behind her. Cleston spun her around after she reached the bed and kissed her long and hard. They kissed till they were breathless.

Cleston reached for the box and got down on one knee. Before Cleston could utter a single word Margret screamed yes. Crstal tears fell from their faces. Cleston tugged her down to the floor with him. They stayed like that for a while. Both holding on for dear life, wondering what's next. Cleston knew now was the time to tell her.

So much for putting it off 'till I die.
