Chapter Three - Plans
“Hello there, Wendi. Would you like to sit with us today?” Colleen said in a sweet beautiful voice. I nodded and sat, too amazed to speak. Jacob spoke next. “Cat got your tongue?” he teased. I smiled and blushed. “Leave her alone, Jacob. You are too scary for her to talk to you. Just listen to how fast her heart is going.” Leo said. Colleen gave him a sharp look and he was silent.
I had no clue what they meant but they were slightly weird. As I thought this, Carmen sneered and giggled. “Shut it, Carmen.” Colleen said. “Wendi, would you like to be my first friend here?” she asked. “ Um.. Sure, that would be great. Colleen grinned from ear to ear, just like a Cheshire cat. I looked at Stefan and he was smiling, too. They were all smiling, showing their fangs. Carmen drew in a short breath. Was she reading my mind or something? Every time I said anything like fangs or mind reading, she tightened up and clenched her jaw. Once again, weird.
The bell rang and I noticed that I had forgotten to eat. Apparently, so had they. Another short breath from Carmen. Stefan and I went to our next class with small talk on things like the weather and projects due. “Do you have plans next Saturday night?” Wow. Was he asking me on a date? “No, I don’t think so. Why?” I asked. “I want to take you to dinner. Would you go?” Wow, Stefan had asked me out!!!! “Um... Sure, of course. When will you pick me up?”
We made plans for next Saturday about six thirty. As we entered the class, he held the door open for me. Everyone stared, of course. He sat in front of me and turned around in the seat and just looked at me. My heart did funny things.

Has a guardian angel
Who’ll be there when they’re needed
In hard times she appears
To help happiness be seeded
She may go
Or she may stay
But she helps you anyway
She’ll do what she can to help
And is your friend
A sister in spirit
Understanding you perfectly
She’s a shoulder to lean on
She makes you smile
She knows how to make everything
Worth your while
She’ll be there to laugh with you
She likes many of the same things
She’ll dry your tears
And bring forth a smile
When the rest of the world
Seems to be against you
She’s still there
Showing you
That she cares
To be your lover when you need to be loved,
your doctor when you are ill,
your army when you go to war,
your umbrella when life rains down on you,
your rock when you get weary,
your shield when you need defense,
your spirit when you are drained,
your pillow when you need to rest,
your voice when no one can hear you,
your ear when no one will listen,
your comfort when you feel pain,
your hero when you are under duress,
your sunshine when darkness falls,
your answer when questions arise,
your inspiration to overcome obstacles,
your hand to hold when you are frightened,
your kiss that wakes you everyday,
and your "I love you" each and every night.
I am yours... all of me.
I Love You
