Love?

She slowly made her way into first period and sat next to Jen. "Jen, I need a favor.. I need you to come to the movies with me the weekend after this so I can meet Matt. No one can find out that it isn't just you an me going.. Get your brother to be our chaperone and tell him I will do anything if he keeps it a secret. Mom and dad will only let me go if they think that Jeremy will be going with us." And so the plan was well in motion. Her parents believed her and Jeremy agreed to take them. She met Matt at the movies and prayed that it would be a long, long time before he wanted to go anywhere else. She couldn't really enjoy the movie because she was so nervous about what would happen if her parents found out the truth. She was able to hide her uneasy feelings when Matt was around though. She told herself that at least if she was killed for this night, it would be worth it to have her first real date with Matt. After the movie was over she spent the night with Jen and tried to keep herself from worrying too much. She had successfully pulled off the movie and Matt was happy so she could rest easy for the night. She and Jen ate their leftover popcorn and listened to music until bed time. The next morning she went home and tried her best to act natural. Everything seemed to be going great. Nothing suspicious happened and she thought she was blessed by the heavens that she wasn't caught. She logged into ICX to talk to Matt and saw that there was a message already waiting for her. "I had a great time at the movies last night. Glad we could finally have a date! I know this is sudden but I wanted to let you know that I think I've fallen in love with you. I didn't have the courage to say it face to face but I wanted you to know. I'm glad you're my girlfriend." Dawn's heart soared and she couldn't stop smiling. She had loved him secretly for so long and now it seemed that her love had paid off! She couldn't wait to see him tomorrow! She quickly responded, "I'm so happy Matt! I love you too! I have for some time now. You've just made me the happiest girl in the world!" Just as she was about to press send, her father walked into the room.
