To Gamble Dangerously

Stars shone in her eyes as we danced in the moonlight. We tripped and stumbled over each other’s feet, but we were to happy to care. Too in love.


The world slipped away from beneath us until we were dancing with the moon, the magic of our love keeping us afloat in the smooth waves of the nights sky. It couldn’t have been more perfect…


Drrrrriiiinnnngggg! The school bell rang, finally. It was one of those few times the bell marked something good. This time, it was the end of a double Geography and the start of Trig. It wasn’t that I liked trig itself, but I loved the class because I sat next to her in it.


“So how was you weekend? You go anywhere?” I asked her, desperate to make conversation. She smiled and shook her head.


“It was good, but I didn’t go anywhere. I just read mostly. What about you?”


“I didn’t go anywhere either. My dad need me to help him at the garage.” I didn’t mention that in my head her and I had danced between the stars. Some things were better kept secret.


But would I ever tell her how I felt? I knew that until I did, any dream of mine would have to remain a fantasy. But to tell her was to gamble dangerously. I could win and get her, or I could lose and she would never speak to me again.


So now I had a decision: keep our basic friendship or risk losing it to get something more?
