BABY (THE MAGIC WORD)

Over the moon after what had happened yesterday in the man-made forest. It was surreal, to be honest; I feel my body is weightless until now on our way to school.

"You seem happy today Angel, your smile could raise a dead, very opposite from the scorn face that you had yesterday."

I playfully laugh at Dominic. "Is that so, Dominic?"

"Yes, it's like all the weight has lifted from your shoulder. Did you finish your project and enjoy the start of the sports week?"

"Yes, I sure did, Dominic. It was fulfilling and a relief at the same time." I agreed though it wasn't the reason for how elated I am today.

"Well then, I'm happy for you as well."

"Thank you, Dominic."

My mind voluntarily gets back to visioning Maddox and me in the coming days. Fantasizing, we will be together every day in school, having lunch together, spending time in the forest, and no one's going to bother us. Just the two of us, alone.
