Stacy's Mom's Daughter

So I have been on a bad luck streak for a while now. But today, everything seemed to change almost instantly. Had I finally endured enough B.S. to warrant something wonderful happening to me?

Some background info is needed before I explain what happened:

There is this girl that I absolutely adore here on campus. Now I usually jump at any chance to chat it up with a female I find as gorgeous as this one. (It's not that I am shallow; in fact I feel I am much less perverse than my peers. I am more of a romantic, a Romeo of sorts searching for his Juliet...minus the dying.)

To the contrary, I cannot seem to build up courage to talk to her. I have talked to her before, though, and she is very laid-back, cool and collective...that sort of girl. One that is feminine enough to be my girlfriend, but tom-boyish enough to be my friend. She is not my friend, however, though we are pretty good acquaintances, if that makes sense... For example, I have made a few innuendos at which she has genuinely laughed:

"Volleyball game tonight?" I ask.

"Yea, you should come" says Stacy(Great name, huh?)

"Well I might...are you going to make it worth while?" I wink as I say this part. Girls like my wink.

"I will! We are going to win" she says, with that adorable smile of hers.

I sigh. "I'm not talking about volleyball, my dear."

At this point I feel almost retarded and I run up the stairs. I regret not knowing how flirtatious that conversation could have gotten.

With all that in my mind, I shall attempt to describe my "best day ever":

It was a normal day as I walked down to the cafeteria. (Well, drove down...but who the hell walks anymore?) I met up with Stacy, unexpectedly by the way, and her inseparable friend who always cramps my style. We chatted for a while, (Stacy and I that is, I don't wanna talk to her friend), then she invited me to go to a movie with them.

Of course I accepted the invitation! You think I'm going to turn down the opportunity of a lifetime? Nuh uh!

No way!

As we were riding in the car, she continued chatting with me and we were both thoroughly ignoring the third wheel in the driver's seat. Stacy gave me a look as if she was saying "I know she's lame but she is my only mode of transportation" to which I replied with an understanding nod. I had no idea which movie we were going to see, but it didn't matter: Avatar doesn't come out until Friday. (Maybe I will ask Stacy to go see it with me, I thought)

Everything was going quite well. Stacy flashed me a countless number of her trademarked smiles and lost myself in her eyes more than once.

I felt sincerely happy, something I have not felt for a very long time. Finally the darkness of the past three weeks had been lifted and a ray of sunshine illuminated the beautiful world around me! All of the crap that I had to deal with up until now was definitely worth just experiencing this moment. I honestly felt in my heart that maybe she was the Juliet for me.

...but then I woke up.

(And just in time to fail a Physics exam!)
