I open the note and read her get well wishes. What she wrote is sweet.
I look up at Tyler. “To be honest, I intend to drop drama class. I don’t want to see Michael there and anyway I’m not very good at acting. Not to mention I’ve had enough drama in my life this year.” I give a feeble laugh. I know he’ll understand.
“What are you talking about? You’re great in that class.”
“How would you know?”
“Because I’m in the other section of drama, fifth hour, and Aunt Martha—I mean, Mrs. Clark—told me.” His laughter gives away the rest of the story. Well, his laughter and the little scraps of memory I still have from when I invaded his head and dreamed that kiss with him. A certain pocket of knowledge in the deepest recesses of my mind holds the confirmation of what he said.
“You asked her to give me that part? You were going to go up against Michael for the lead?”
“Yup. Awesome, isn’t it? I’ll get that part. I’m good and it doesn’t hurt that my aunt is the director.” He leans closer. “So, you wanna be the girl looking for her soul mate?”
Yes, yes. “Maybe,” I say, leaning closer and praying that my parents aren’t taking any more pictures. Though it might be cool, one day twenty years from now, to look at a picture of our first real kiss.
I close my eyes, but I can still see him in my head. A gentle warmth encircles me. His aura? Or perhaps it’s more than an aura. Our lips meet. The universe slows.
This kiss is infinitely better than the dream kiss. Or the one that woke me.
This kiss is . . .
. . . awesome.
