Chereads / The Bench Warmer / Chapter 7 - Chapter 6: Of Course

Chapter 7 - Chapter 6: Of Course

2nd period was over, as it was a boring ass math class, where the older female teacher had told us about what it was that we had needed, as if we had not found any of that out before the school year had even started, and we had gone to meet all of our teachers, and what it was that we needed in the class. After that, never the less, there was the same boring ass old spill about all of the stuff that was going to be going on in that class, as well as how it was going to be hard, due to the fact that it was an AP, college level class.

I knew that it was going to be hard, but I was a hard worker, so I was not all too worried about that. Every one else in that class knew the exact same thing as me, as a lot of them were Seniors in that class never the less, and I could tell that a lot of them just wanted to get this year over with, which I did not blame them for. I knew that I needed to go to the principal after the school day was over, before football practice was to start at the exact same time as well, so that I had could ask him not to put me as a Senior this year at the exact same time as well, so that I could have my Senior year be next year.

I did not want to have to be a red shirt fresh man, as well as the fact that I did not want to go to college and not have any scholarships either, due to the fact that I was no longer a ranked prospect, due to the fact that I was a Senior. I was not all too worried about any of that, if I was not going to lie to my self, as I knew that the principal was a nice lady, and I was sure that she would understand at the exact same time as well, as I let out a bit of a rough sigh, all at the exact same time as well, as I then nodded to my self, before I then began to head in to the science class room that was right in front of me right now.

I had let a bunch of kids go in before me, as I had been a little bit lost in my head, as well as the fact that I had been in this room before, so I was not all too worried as to the fact that I would not have a seat at the exact same time as well, as I knew that this room had very big tables, and there was going to be a spot for me, pretty much no matter what. I sighed, as I then nodded to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I then began to walk in to the science class room, with a bit of a smile on my face, just as the bell rang at the exact same time as well.

I let out a bit of a sigh of relief, all at the exact same time as well, as I was glad as to the fact that I had got in to the room just in time, as I knew that you got in a fair bit of trouble if you were late to your class, as the school was quite a big school, but they gave you 10 minutes in between classes to get to your next one, so there was not all too much for me to be worried about, all at the exact same time as well, as I was just lucky that I had in fact got in to this room just at the perfect time any ways.

Just as I had begun to walk in the room, as I saw all of the eyes in the room then lock on to me, such as they had done in the last 2 classes, as every one knew who I was, and every one knew that I was the star athlete on the foot ball team at the exact same time as well. I dipped my head a little bit low to the ground, all at the exact same time as well, as I really did not like all of the spot light to be on me. I knew that my father was right at the exact same time as well, as to the fact that I would have to get used to it once I got to college and even the NFL.

That was just a bit too much for me to think on just yet already how ever, as I knew that I needed to just keep my focus on what it was that I was doing right now. I still did not like to have every one looking at me either way it was though, as I dipped my head a little bit low to the ground, all at the exact same time too, as I spotted Ray in the corner of the room at the exact same time too, as he had a big smile on his face, as he had seen me head in to the room with him. The smile that I had on my face not all too much longer ago, then all of the sudden popped up on my own, once again.

Ray sat there with a girl, and another football player that was on our team, as he was a 3rd string defensive tackle, who more than likely would not be going to college to be playing football if I had to guess. I also had to assume that the girl was the football players girl friend at the exact same time as well, based off of the fact that she had her hand held on to his, I did not keep my focus on that for too much longer how ever, as I then let out a bit of a sigh, as I just kept on going over to the table to join my friend.

As I was about half way through the room at the exact same time as well, I then heard the voice of an older and more mature male from not all too far away from me. I blinked my eyes a few times, as I heard the older male say my name at the exact same time as well, as I gulped a bit to my self at the exact same time as well, as I was a little bit worried as to the fact that I some how might have already managed to get my self in a little bit of some trouble, as I then dipped my head a bit low to the ground, all at the exact same time as well, as I then looked over at my science teacher.

The man was probably in his early 40s if I had to guess, based off of the fact that his hair was greying quite a bit at the exact same time as well. He also had a bit of a smile on his face at the exact same time as well, as it seemed like he was happy to see me, which I let out a bit of a soft as well as a bit of a relieved sigh at the exact same time as well, as I was glad that the teacher was not mad at me at all, at the exact same time too, as I blinked my eyes a few times at the man, and I then all of the sudden began to listen as to what it was that he even had to say at the exact same time as well too.

"Well hello there Mr. Chamberlain... It is good to see you in my class this year, I am good friends with your father... Would not have been a good thing for him to hear that you were almost late to class, though we can excuse you for the first day I suppose..." The science teacher said to me, as the man had a bit of a mischievous smile on his face at the exact same time as well. I blinked my eyes all at once, as I gulped at the exact same time as well. I was not all too sure if this was a guy that I should like or not just yet, based off of what it was that he had just said to me.

I felt like I was having a bit of some mixed emotions about all of it, as I was not all too sure if he was joking with the fact that he had said that he was friends with my father, as I was not all too sure as to why he would say that to the entire class, as that was a lot of the reason that I did not want to go in to the class with my father, as I was worried that he would treat me a lot differently and a lot nicer than any one else, just based off of the fact that he was in fact my father, and I was in fact his son. I hoped that this was not going to be the case for this man.

I was fairly certain that he was not lying as to the fact that he had said that he was good friends with my father, as I knew that my father was friends with just about every other science teacher that was in this school, at the exact same time as well. I sighed just a bit to my self at the exact same time as well, as I felt a bit bad about all of that. My father was friends with them of course, as I knew that was where it was that a lot of his meetings were at in the very first place any ways, as I knew that he met up with all of the other science teachers, to discuss what it was that they were doing in their classes.

I gulped just a bit to my self, as I then dipped my head a bit low to the ground at the exact same time too, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I should say back to this man at the exact same time too. I was not all too sure as to what it was that I should do, as the man seemed to be a bit weird of a guy, as well as the fact that he was a bit of a nerd at the exact same time as well, which there was nothing at all wrong with that of course, but I was not all too sure as to the fact that the guy would in fact like me all too much at all either, as I was sure that he also knew that I was the star receiver on the football team.

I let out a bit of a soft sigh, all to my self, all at once as well, as I was not all too sure as to just what else it was that I should do at the exact same time as well, as I felt like I was kind of making it quite a bit awkward at the exact same time as well, as to the fact that I was standing in the middle of the room, and I was sure that all of the other students that were in the room at the exact same time as well, had their eyes looked right on me for certain now, as I knew that they all knew just who it was that I even was at the exact same time as well never the less.

I did my best to try to calm my nerves down a bit, all at the exact same time as well, as I did my best to not freak out either, as I then began to nod to my self all at the exact same time as well, trying my best to regain a little bit of some sort of control over my self, all at the exact same time as well. It was not the fact that I was freaked out as to the fact that I was in the spot light at all, as I was used to all of that, at this point in my life any ways. It was more the fact that I did not like to be treated differently than the rest of the students that were in the room.

That was what it was that it kind of felt like was going on right now in the very first place as well, as I then let out a bit of a soft sigh to my self, as I did my best to just not get all too worried about any of that, all at the exact same time as well, as I then lifted my head up and I then nodded to the science teacher, to let him know that I had heard as to what it was that he had said to me. The man looked at me for just a few seconds all at once as well, as he then cracked a bit of a smile on his face, and he then nodded right back over to me, at the exact same time as well, never the less.

I blinked my eyes a few times, as I still was not all too certain as to just what it was that I was even supposed to do, or to say back to the teacher in the very first place any ways, but I did my best to think of some thing on the fly, as I was used to that, being a football player and all, even if I was not the quarterback at all. I sighed, as I then finally decided that I was ready to speak back to the teacher, all at the exact same time as well, which I did in fact do, as I spoke quite a bit high with my voice, as I responded to the teacher, all at the exact same time as well.

"Yes... That is me... I am sorry... It won't happen again..." I said back to the teacher, as I saw the teacher was looking at me with quite a bit of a blank look on his face, all at the exact same time as well, as it did not seem like he gave a single shit as to any word that I had even just said to him in the very first place any ways. It seemed like the man seemed to get back on to a bit of a normal track all at the exact same time as well, as to the fact that he no longer had the thought that I was the son of one of his good friends, which I was of course quite a bit thankful for, at the exact same time as well, as he then nodded to me, for me to go and look for a seat to sit down in.

I blinked my eyes a few times, as I was still a little bit lost as to just what it was that was going on in the very first place, as I could still see a lot of kids in the class room still staring at me, all at the exact same time as well, as it now was in fact starting to bother me a bit, as well as the fact that it was starting to make me feel a little bit uncomfortable. I felt like a bit of an idiot, all at the exact same time as well, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I was even doing right now, in the very first place any ways, as I then all of the sudden started to head over to the table that I saw Ray at, all at the exact same time as well.

I saw Ray roll his eyes at me, as if I was some kind of idiot, which perhaps I was some times, even though I knew that I was a very smart guy, some of the things that I did were not all too smart at all, such as the fact that I had just stood in the middle of the class room, when the teacher had clearly nodded for me to head over to me seat. I let out a bit of a soft sigh to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I did my best to try to shake off all of those thoughts, all at the exact same time as well, as I then all of the sudden sat down at the chair right beside of Ray, and I looked back over to the science teacher all at the exact same time as well, not at all having my eyes, and my focus on my friend Ray, at all right at this very moment in time.

I expected the science teacher to roll right in, and get straight to the point, such as the math teacher had done to the class, just as soon as the bell had rung, but that was not the case at all, much to my surprise, as I blinked my eyes just a few times. I was a little bit lost all at the exact same time too, as to just what it was that was even going on in the very first place any ways, as I had my head tilted quite a bit, trying to figure out what in the living hell was going on in this room right now, as I heard a bunch of kids talking to each other, as if this was no big deal at all right now.

It then hit me all at once, all at the exact same time as well, as to just what it was that was going on right now in the very first place any ways. I then began to realize as to just why this class was not like my math class that I had been in at all, as I then all of the sudden began to remember all at once, as to just what it was that was going on right now in the very first place any ways. I remembered that the math class that I had been in just 30 minutes ago, was an AP class never the less, and this class was simply an AG class, as there was quite a big difference between the both of them at the exact same time as well, as I was starting to find out.

The science teacher in this room, did not at all seem to be all too bothered as to the fact that he felt like he needed to get straight to the point, and he needed to talk to the class room that he had to teach for 3rd period this semester. It was a bit of a surprise to me all at the exact same time too, but at the exact same time as well, in kind of relaxed me as well, as I did not realized just how stressful all of these AP classes were until I then began to start to think on all of it. I began to breath in quite a bit heavily, all at the exact same time as well, as I then nodded to my self.

I knew that I did not need to freak out at all right now, as I knew that every thing was going to end up being okay for me. This was not going to destroy my GPA either, as it might simply lower it by a score of like .005 which did not matter all too much to me either, as I knew that I already had scholarships to schools in the Ivy League, as they saw not just only how gifted of an athlete that I was, but also how gifted of a student that I was, at the exact same time as well, as I then nodded to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I then all of the sudden began to hear the voice of Ray, as I realized that he was speaking to me right now.

I turned my head over to him, as I realized that I had missed a few of the first words that he had said to me, as I blinked my eyes a few times as well, as I felt quite a bit bad about that, at the exact same time as well, as I really never wanted my friends to think that I was ignoring them at all, which of course I was not. I had simply just been a bit lost in my head, to even realize as to what it was that was going on around me in the very first place any ways. I knew that I needed to wake my self up, as I knew that this was not some thing that I wanted to carry with me to football practice at all, for sure.

I let out a bit of a rough, as well as a bit of a soft sigh all of the sudden, all at the exact same time as well, as I then all of the sudden nodded to Ray, to let him know that I was now paying attention to him, as Ray blinked his eyes a few times at me at the exact same time as well, as he realized that I had not heard what it was that he had said to me at first. Ray let out a bit of a heavy sigh, though he was not upset at all at me thankfully enough, as he then began to start to restart on what it was that the had to say to me, all at the exact same time as well, as I then nodded a bit to my self this time, as I then began to listen as to what it was that he had to say for real this time.

"So... You want to talk some more about what it is that you are going to be doing at lunch time?" He said to me, as I blinked my eyes a few times at him, as I saw that he had a bit of a big smile on his face at the exact same time as well, as I was about to lift a finger up to my mouth, all at the exact same time as well, to try to get him to hush his mouth, until I realized that there was more than likely not all too much that I needed to worry about at all either. We had 2nd lunch for one thing, and also I knew that the other football player that was at the table, and his girl friend, were not really friends at all with Kimberly, thankfully enough.

I let out a bit of a soft sigh to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I then blinked my eyes a few times, once again, all at the exact same time as well, as I did my best to try to not focus in on all of that too much never the less, as I then dipped my head a little bit low to the ground, all at the exact same time as well, as I was not all too sure as to the fact that I did in fact want to talk too much on what it was that I was even going to be doing at lunch in the very first place any ways. I had done enough thinking on all of that as it was over the last few days any ways, and I really did not want to think on it any more.

I did not want to talk my self out of what it was that I was going to do, and what it was that I had signed the band up for, all at the exact same time as well. I knew that she had some friends in the band at the exact same time as well, so I had made sure that I had kept in a secret never the less, as I did not even dare want to take the risk of the surprise being ruined. All they knew was that they were going to be playing some sort of love, and romantic music for some odd reason or another, around the lunch time, as they headed over to my table at the exact same time as well.

I blinked my eyes a few times, as I had quite a big smile on my face at the exact same time as well, as I knew that this was a good idea. The only question was if it was good enough to get her to say yes. I knew that she had told me that she had loved me time and time again, but at the same time too, I also knew that I had been told that it was damn near impossible to find love any time during your schools years. Perhaps in college, but most people that I knew, kind of took love as a joke when it came around the time of high school.

I let out a bit of a rough sigh at the exact same time as well, as I knew that it was no joke how ever, when ever it was that she said that she loved me. I could see it in her eyes, and I was in love with her as well. She was the only girl that I had ever dated in high school, due to the fact that I had moved from Arizona around that time, but there was of course a reason that we were still dating, ever since freshman year. We never to in to hardly any fights, and we always seemed to get along with one another fairly fine at the exact same time as well.

I sighed just a bit to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I did my best to try to shake off all of those thoughts from my head, all at the exact same time too, as I then lifted my head up a bit never the less, as I then locked eyes with my friend Ray. I blinked my eyes at him just a few times, as for some odd reason or another, I was a little bit lost as to the reason that he was looking at me right in to my eyes at this very moment in time any ways. It then all of the sudden came back to me all at the exact same time as well, as I then started to remember just what it was that he had said to me.

I saw our teammate right beside us, but I was not all too worried about him at all none the less, as I knew that he was not really friends with my girl, and I doubt that he was going to be texting her in the middle of class either, to snitch on me at the last moment. I let out a bit of a rough sigh all at once, as I knew that I should not be as worried as I was right now. I knew that it was going to be an amazing surprise, and that was that. I knew my father would be looking at me with quite a big smile on his face, as I was sure that he would have my mother on a Facebook call with him as well.

I then nodded a bit to my self, as I kept on staring right back at Ray never the less. I still was not all too sure if I did in fact want to talk about it at all, but at the exact same time as well, I also knew that I really could not hold in the secret for all too much longer. Plus, there was nothing wrong about getting some sort of advice from a good friend such as Ray was. I blinked my eyes just a few times once again still, as I then began to breath in quite a bit heavy all at once. I knew this was going to be a quite a bit of a big and long, very much detailed conversation at the exact same time as well, but I was well prepared for it never the less, as I then finally began to speak to Ray.

There it was, as the bell then all of the sudden rang for lunch to be called, as I knew that I had 3rd lunch. I had quite a bit of a big smile on my face at the exact same time as well, too. As I walked out of the class room along with the rest of the students that had been in this room with me in the very first place any ways too. At first, they all had their eyes on me for quite a bit of some time, in the class room, but after some time had passed at the exact same time too how ever, it seemed like they had managed to wake them selves up a bit all as well never the less, which I was glad for, as no one was staring at me for any longer too, which I was grateful for.

I blinked a few times, as I walked out of the class room, all at the exact same time too, as I saw that the hall way was flooded with a crowd of students at the same time as well, as I knew that they were all students that were in science this period, as they made all of the science teachers, and the science rooms close together, such as they did for any other class, such as Math, English, and History. I was not all too fond of History or Math, but I was just glad at the exact same time too never the less, that I had the same lunch period as my girl.

I knew that I more than likely would not have a class with her, due to the fact that the school was so big, so that was not all too much as to what it was that I was worried about at all at the exact same time too how ever. I sighed as well, as I then began to look around the hall way, as I expected to some how see my girl through the big crowd of people that were walking through it at this very moment in time. That was not the case at all how ever, sadly enough, as I knew that I should not have expected it to be the case, as I knew that the hall way was going to be buzzing with noise, as well as the fact that I also knew that it was going to be crowded at the exact same time too.

I began to breath in quite a bit, as I shook off all of those thoughts all at the exact same time as well how ever, as I got my focus on what it was that I was about to go and do at the exact same time as well. I was sure that the band was already in the lunch room, as I knew that they would be waiting on me to head in to there, before they then began to play their music. It was going to be a while until we got to the lunch room any ways how ever, as I knew that the lunch room was in the middle of the school, but sadly, we were on the far corner of such a massive school.

It was what it was, and I was not all too worried about it at all, never the less, as well, as I kept my focus on just what it was that I was doing at this very moment in time, and what it was that I was even trying to do in the very first place any ways, which of course was to simply get down the crowded hall way, and get through all of the pushing and all of the shoving that I felt against me, which did not bother me at all, all too much, due to the fact that I was used to taking big hits, as after all, I was in fact a football player at the exact same time as well, and I had felt a lot worse than some thing as simple as this.

It did not even budge me one bit never the less, as I rolled my eyes all at the exact same time as well, as I got my eyes on Ray, who I saw was right beside me at this very moment in time, as I waited for him to catch up to me, before I then began to walk beside my friend, all at the exact same time too. Ray blinked his eyes a bit, and then he nodded to me all at once, as if he was about to talk to me, which I knew not to be the case, due to not only was the hall way quite a bit crowded right now, but along with the crowd of people that were in the hall way, it came with a whole lot of noise.

It meant that I would not hear a word as to what it was that he was saying to me, if I even was going to be talking to him, or he was going to be talking to him. Ray was a very smart guy, as I could say that with out a doubt. Though I knew as to the reason as to why he did not take AP classes, was simply because of course, just like I was, he was a football player, as well as a wrestler at the exact same time too. He had a lot of his focus on sports, rather than it being on school work, so he did not want to have to take the extra work, and all of the extra stress, which I could in fact say of course did in fact come with the fact that you were in AP classes. I really did not blame him for the fact that he didn't want to do them.

I did not want to do them, but at the exact same time too, I also knew that I had needed to have a bit of a back up plan at the exact same time too, as to the fact that if some thing happened to me, like it had happened to my father. I did not want to jinx my self for it, but I always knew that it was a back up plan that I needed to have in case things were to go wrong, especially in a sport as nasty as football was. I nodded a bit to my self, as I shook my focus off of all of those thoughts all at once as well, as I then got my focus on just what it was that was even going on in the very first place any ways, right at this very moment in time.

That was of course that we were now walking in to the cafeteria, and the crowd was starting to dim down a bit all at once as well, as I let out quite a bit of a sigh of relief all at once, as I knew that as much as I was in fact a football player, I still did not like large crowds, unless of course, it was a large crowd of people watching a football game. I let out quite a bit of a sigh of relief all at the exact same time too, as I then began to head over to the lunch table that I knew that I had told Kimberly to meet me at, at the exact same time as well.

I had my box full of food, that my father had made for me, such as he did every single morning, as he always made sure to put it in my book bag, as he never missed a day of that, ever, even if he was sick, and could not go to work for that day. I loved my father, but that was besides the point right at this very moment in time how ever, as I knew that there was some thing much different that I needed to get my focus on right now. There was some thing that put a good reminder as to just what it was that I needed to focus on at the same time as well, as I then all of the sudden heard the voice of Ray, as he then began to speak to me, as I blinked my eyes a few times.

I saw Ray nod to me, as I had nearly forgotten that he had even been with me in the first place, as that was a lot of the reason as to why I was so lost. Once I seemed to regain a bit of some form of control over my self how ever, I then all of the sudden just nodded to Ray, at the exact same time too, as I let him know that he had my attention on him, and that I was paying attention as to what it was that he had to say to me. I could tell that it made him feel a lot better, as he did in fact begin to speak to me finally, and I then began to listen as to what it was that he had to say to me at the exact same time as well.

"Good luck Grant... You got this my man!" He said to me, as I saw that he had a big smile on his face, which was the opposite of the look that I had on my face right now, as I felt like I was under a lot of stress right now. Seeing the smile on the face of my friend how ever, it seemed to lighten up the mood all at once, all of the sudden, as I then smiled right back at him, as I then nodded to him at the exact same time as well. Ray looked at me for just a little while longer, until this time, it was his turn to suddenly nod right back over to me.

Ray then turned his head away from me all of the sudden, as I was a little bit lost as to just what it was that he was even doing right at this very moment in time, in the very first place any ways, as I tilted my head a little bit at him, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that was even going on with him right at this very moment in time too. I blinked my eyes a few times, as I noticed that he no longer had his eyes on me any more, so I was just wasting my time with the fact that I had my head tilted at him, as if I was waiting for some kind of explanation.

I stood in this spot for just a little while longer, as it seemed like I was a bit stuck where it was that I was even at in the very first place any ways, and what it was that I was even doing, even though I knew just what it was that I was doing, as Ray had even reminded me as to just what it was. I gulped a bit all at once, as I kind of felt like I just wanted to stay in this spot in the middle of the cafeteria, and pretend that none of this was at all real, and I was not in fact going to do just what it was that I was about to do in the very first place any ways as well.

I watched as Ray walked over to a much different table than I was going to be at, as I was a little bit lost at first, until I then remembered just what it was that I was about to do, and I knew that he was a good friend, and he was going to be respectful, as he knew that his presence would likely interrupt just what it was that I was planning on doing in the very first place any ways. I could not help but to put a little bit of a grin on my face all at once, as I was not going to lie to my self, Ray was a great friend, as I knew that I could not ask for a better friend than him never the less as well.

I then sighed all at the exact same time as well, as I did my best to try to not get my focus on all of those thoughts, all at once, as I then turned my head over to the table that I had told Kimberly that we were going to be sitting at. When I had said we, I was sure that she had not thought that it was going to just be me and her. Realizing that, I then started to think that she might have a bunch of friends with her, which I felt like I knew for certain, that it was going to make the setting quite a bit uncomfortable never the less, as I knew that some of her friends had in fact admitted to the fact that they had crushes on me.

I knew that they were saying that in hopes of potentially trying to hook up with me, but I was not going to let that happen at all, as I was far too loyal to my girl, and I was not going to let my self due as such a thing, as I knew that it would ruin our relationship, as well as the fact that I really did not have any sort of attraction for any of her friends either. It was not the fact that I did not view them as any sort of good looking at all, so much as it was more the fact that I had my mind set focused on my own girl, and I was not going to let them ruin our relationship that we had with one another, as I knew that I loved Kimberly to death.

I began to breath in quite a bit, as I did my best to get my focus off of all of those thoughts, all at the exact same time as well, as I instead got my focus more on the thoughts that I needed to make sure that I was certain that I was in love with her, if I was to in fact propose to her in front of the whole school. I knew that I was certain that I was in love with her, but I knew that I had to make sure that she too also knew that I was in fact in love with her never the less, as I then got my focus off of all of that, all at once, as I looked over at the table that Kimberly was sitting at right at this very moment in time.

To no surprise of course, she was in fact sitting down at the table, as I knew that she would be of course, due to the fact that I had been sitting in the middle of the cafeteria for quite a bit of some time, as I was quite a bit surprised that the band had not started playing their music just yet, as I saw from the corner of my eye that they looked like they were just about to get ready to do such a thing. I knew that I had to get over to Kimberly fast, before all of this was in fact to start, as I saw that Kimberly was in fact looking at me right in to her eyes right now, as I saw quite a big smile on that beautiful face of hers.

It made a smile start to pop up on my own face never the less, as I knew that this girl was the love of my life, and it did in fact make me smile just to see her smiling her self. I blinked my eyes just a few times, as I then began to realize at the exact same time as well how ever, that I had been standing in this spot for quite a bit of time, and I also knew that the band was about to start playing their music at any moment now as well, as I then began to quickly head over to her all of the sudden, as I was a bit relieved as to the fact that she did not in fact have any of her friends with her right now, as I was lucky that as popular of a girl that she was, she was alone at the table.

Then again, I had asked for her to be alone with me at the table, so I suppose that it made a bit of some sense at the exact same time as well, as I then shook my head, doing my best to try to shake off all of those thoughts from my head all of the sudden, at the exact same time as well, as I then nodded to my self all at once this time, as I then sat down at the table right beside my girl, as the both of us stared at each other right in to our eyes, as the both of us could not help but to keep those same big smiles on our faces, that we had even before I had sat down beside her at the table in the very first place any ways.

We seemed to stare at each other right in to our eyes for just a bit of some time too, as it did not seem like either one of us had a single word to say to one another just yet. Which was a fair case for her at the very least, as I knew that I was the one that had the surprise for her, and I knew that she was a very smart girl, and I knew that she knew for a fact that I had some thing that I was going to surprise her with, at the exact same time as well. I breathed in quite a bit, as I did my best to think long and hard as to what it was that I was going to say in the very first place any ways.

I felt like I should just go with the flow though, and I felt like it would not take me all that long for me to come up with some thing that I was going to say to her at the exact same time as well, as I then began to breath in quite a bit heavily to my self, once again, as I then blinked my eyes just a few times, as I was a little bit lost as to just what it was that was even going on right now in the very first place any ways. That was due to the fact, of course, that I had all of the sudden seen Kimberly nod to me for some odd reason or another, even though I knew that I should be the one that was going to speak right now.

I looked at her for just a few seconds longer at the exact same time as well, as I then all of the sudden nodded right back over to her, to let her know that I was paying attention to her never the less, as I was quite a bit lost as to just what it was that was even going on in the very first place, right now, any ways never the less. I let out a bit of a soft sigh to my self, as I felt like I should not be all too worried about any of it how ever, as I then got my focus off of all of those thoughts, all at the exact same time as well, as I then finally heard Kimberly start to speak to me, as I looked at her right in to her eyes, as I then began to listen as to what it was that she had to say to me at the exact same time as well.

"So... What is it that you felt like you had to tell me?" She said to me, as I could tell that she had a bit of a confused look on her face, but at the exact same time as well, I also saw that she had quite a bit of a look of interest in her face at the exact same time too, as I was happy to see that she was actually quite a bit excited as to just what it was that I was about to say to her in the very first place any ways. It was almost as if, she knew that I was about to propose to her, as I was quite a bit worried about that, as I knew that I had wanted it to be a surprise.

At the exact same time as well how ever, I kind of felt like I really should not get my self all too worried about all of that, all at the exact same time as well, as I knew that even if she was a very smart girl, I had made sure that the surprise was not going to be some thing that she expected, nor was it going to be some thing that she was going to see coming at the exact same time as well, as I kind of could not help but to still hold the big smile that I had on my face, for quite a bit of some time at the exact same time too.

I sighed just a bit to my self, as I knew that I really should not be as worried, nor should I be as stressed out as I was right now, as I dipped my head a bit low to the ground for just a few seconds of time, which I kind of felt like might be a bit of a mistake, especially if it was true as to just what it was that I was about to do in the very first place any ways. I was starting to have second thoughts about all of this, and I knew it for a fact at this point, as I felt like quite a bit of an idiot as to just what it was that I was even doing in the very first place any ways.

Just at the perfect time in seemed how ever, as I was glad that it was the case at the exact same time as well, the band then all of the sudden began to play all at once, as all of the commotion that was going on in the cafeteria, and all of the eyes in the cafeteria seemed to die down a bit, as every one then all of the sudden turned their eyes over to the band, all at the exact same time as well, as it was clear that all of them were quite a bit interested in just what it was that was even going on in the very first place any ways. I began to breath in quite a bit heavily to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I was not all too sure as to what it was that I should do now.

Luckily, I had a few seconds at the very least, to think on it for just a little while longer how ever, as I saw that Kimberly's eyes, just like the rest of the eyes of the people that were in the lunch room right now, had now all of the sudden turned over to the band, as it was clear that each and every person in here was quite a bit lost as to just what it was that was going on at this very moment in time any ways. I was glad for it never the less, as I had quite a bit of a big smile on my face, all at the exact same time as well, as I then nodded a bit to my self all at once, as I then began to think on what it was that I was going to say.

I felt like a bit of an idiot, at the exact same time as well, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I was even thinking about, at this very moment in time any ways, as I felt like I knew just what it was that I was going to say, as the answer was simply what every person did in just about every movie that I had ever seen, and also the fact that my father had told me that it was simple as to what it was that I should say as well, as I did not need to think too much on it. I was thinking a bunch on it how ever, as I felt like most of that had to do with the fact that I had a bit of a fear of rejection.

I shook my head, as I did my best to shake off all of those thoughts from my head, all at the exact same time as well, as I felt like quite a bit of an idiot, as to what it was that I was even thinking, as well as the fact that I felt like a bit of an idiot as to just what it was that I was even doing in the very first place as well. I shook my head, as I shook off all of those thoughts all at once as well, as I was just glad that Kimberly was not looking at me right at this very moment in time, as it was clear that she had her eyes, and her confused face on the band that was playing some quite romantic music right now.

That was when I knew that I had to use this chance, and I could not blow this opportunity at all, all at the exact same time as well, as I then all of the sudden got down to one knee, as I saw that my father had his phone out, from quite a bit of some distance away, at the exact same time as well, as it was clear that he was in fact on call with my mother. I rolled my eyes, as I kept my focus on Kimberly at this very moment in time all at once, as I began to breath in quite a bit, as it felt like this was all going in slow motion, and this was simply just a football game that I was in right now.

I saw Ray from the corner of my eye, as I felt like he was trying to protect the QB right now, who was me in this situation, even if I was a receiver. I saw him nod for me, as if he was telling me to throw the ball. I then all of the sudden grinned to my self, as I got my focus off of him all at once, and back on Kimberly, as I breathed in quite a bit heavily, once again, before I then began to speak up quite a bit loudly, all at the exact same time as well, to make sure that Kimberly could hear what it was that I was saying, as I saw her all of the sudden turn her head over to me, with quite a bit of a lost look on her face, all at the exact same time too, I did not worry about that at all how ever, as I got my focus off of that, as I then kept on talking to her.

"Kimberly..." I said to her, as I saw her looking at me with quite a bit of a look of pure loss on her face, as it was clear that she did not have a clue as to what the hell was even going on right at this very moment in time as well, which felt like things were going just as it had felt like I had planned on it going in the very first place any ways, as I still had a big smile on my face, which I could tell confused her even more. She managed to regain a bit of some sort of control over her self how ever, as I then saw her all of the sudden smile right back at me. I was about to continue to speak to her, all at the exact same time as well, until I realized that I was being a bit of an idiot at the exact same time as well, as I had nearly forgot to pull the ring out of my pocket. I reached down to my pocket, a bit freaked out, and a bit anxious about it still, but luckily, it was still in my pocket, as I then all of the sudden pulled it out of my pocket. Kimberly was a little bit lost at first, as to just what it was that I was doing, as well as what it was that I was even getting at in the very first place any ways, but it was just like I had said. She was a smart girl, and it did not take her all too long to realize as to what it was that was going on, as I then opened the box that had the ring in it, and I then began to continue to speak to her, at the exact same time as well. "Will you marry me?"

I looked at her for just a few moments, as I was quite a bit worried as to the fact that I felt like I had some how fucked all of that up, as to the sequence that I had been planning on doing for quite a bit of some time now, but I shook off all of those thoughts, all at the exact same time too, as I realized just how loud it was that I had said it, and I saw that all of the eyes in the cafeteria, of all of the students, then all of the sudden turned over to where it was that I was standing on one knee, with a ring in my hand, proposing to the love of my life.

It felt quite a bit stressful, and it freaked me out quite a bit, at the exact same time as well, as to the fact that I had so many eyes on me right now, at such an important moment in my life. I was starting to have second thoughts on all of this, as I felt like this was a bad idea at the exact same time as well, as I felt like I was an idiot, and a fool. Not even my dad had proposed to my mother in the middle of the school cafeteria. I knew that I was being quite a bit ballsy with what it was that I was doing, but it was to make sure that she knew that I did in fact love her.

Based off of the look that I saw on her face how ever, I was not all too sure if she could in fact say the same to me at the exact same time as well how ever, as I dipped my head quite a bit low to the ground, as I was feeling like a bigger idiot as each moment passed, as I was not all too sure as to just what it was that I had even been thinking about doing in this in the very first place any ways. As I stared down at the ground for quite a few moments, I then heard Kimberly start to laugh, for some odd reason or another.

I quickly then all of the sudden lifted my head up, and I tilted my head a bit, as I was a bit lost as to what it was that she felt like was even so funny in the very first place any ways. It was as if she viewed just what it was that I was doing right now, as some sort of joke, or some sort of prank. Or maybe, perhaps, which was not a thought that I wanted to have in my head at the exact same time as well, was the fact that she might view me as a joke. I knew that it was not the case at all, but I felt like I could not be freaked out with what it was that I was doing right now.

The entire cafeteria was silent, besides the band that was playing in the back ground right now, which no one seemed to be paying any sort of attention to at all right now. Every ones eyes were on me right now, as I then gulped quite a bit to my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I really was not all too sure as to just what it was that I should be doing right now. Just as I then began to think of all of those kinds of thoughts, and even the thoughts of just running off in embarrassment, that was when I then all of the sudden heard the voice of Kimberly, as she finally decided that she was ready to speak back to me.

I blinked my eyes a few times, as I still was a little bit lost on just what it was that was even going on right now in the very first place any ways, but in the end, I did in fact nod to her, with a bit of a sad look on my face at the exact same time as well, as if I was a long forgotten left to die little puppy. She had a big smile on her face still, which I was not all too sure as to what it was that it was about at all, but I did my best to try to not get too worried about it, or too worked up on it at all, as she continued to speak to me, and I did in fact listen as to what it was that she had to say at the exact same time as well.

"Well Grant... I love you... So..." She said to me, as I blinked my eyes just a few times, as I really was not all too sure as to just what it was that she was even getting at in the first place. She reached her hand out over to the box, as at first I thought that she was going to close the box, and tell me no, which only seemed to stress me out even more, as I was not all too sure as to why she was taking so long, if she was simply just going to say no to me. I began to start to breath in over and over again, quite a bit in some heavy puffs at the exact same time as well, as I did my best to try to regain a bit of some control over my self, all at the exact same time as well, as I then all of the sudden began to hear her start to speak to me once again, as we locked eyes with one another, as I then listened to what it was that she had to say to me at the exact same time too. "So yes... Of course..."
