11:11; make a wish

What if every 11:11, birthday, and shooting star wish came true?
l must be dreaming! I. must. be. dreaming ! That's what I kept saying to
myself. He loves me? Is it real? Is it not real? Last night, I made a wish.
At 11:11, on the dot, I wished he would love me. Now here I am, looking
into his eyes, in shock, because he just said he loved me.
" Kaylan?" he questioned, waving his abnormally large hand in front of my face.
I jumped. " Sorry," he said, " Just wanted to make sure you were still alive."
He smiled at his own joke. I continued to stay still, until the bus rolled around
the corner. He must have pulled me on the bus and sat me down, because I did
not remember getting to seat 11. Coincidence. Issaya's big blue eyes watched me.
I smiled at him, which made him smile. Quite a chain reaction.
" Is it true?" I asked him in a hushed tone. " Do you REALLY love me?"
He nodded. " I've had mixed feelings for weeks now. But last night,
around 11:15 I'd say, I woke up and couldn't get you out of my mind. I just could not
fall back to sleep. I realized it was because I loved you. Once I admitted it, I fell asleep...
And had a dream about you."
Woah. 11:15 ? It has to be my wish.
"You okay babe?" He said. Babe? I smiled. The sound of that coming from his
beautiful lips , refering to me, made me want to dance.
" I'm fine. I'm just taking it all in."
" Do you love me?" he asked.
I shrugged. " I dunnoooo...."
Pain crossed his face.
" I'm just kidding." I said, " of course I love you. I have since I met you 6 years ago."
He smiled again, a half smile. It was beautiful, it gave me chills.
How can this be possible? Tell me I'm dreaming.
We talked for the rest of the bus ride. As we pulled up to the school, he pulled out a single
red rose from his backpack, kissed me, and walked off to his first period class.
" What just happened?" Zayna, my best girl friend, asked. She watched him give me the
rose. She watched him kiss me. And now, she's watching my eyes and smile.
" He said he loved me.." I said.
Her jaw dropped open. I could tell she was exited. We walked to our lockers and off to class.
The day was like a dream. I didn't remember any classes. I only remember looking at the clock, at
11:11, and wishing it would never end.
And never end, oh it never would. Forever stuck in my wishes.
I will never get out of this SICK dream.
