If I Saw You Earlier

Chapter 9

" tell me" I said while I looked at him.
" Alice.. Please" James didn't want to tell me.
" fine, I fall for you every time I see you".
" we have never met, how can you fall in love with me?".
" not in love, I fall from heaven. I am an angel. You and me lived together in the same town long time ago. But I died. My love for you made me fall on earth every time I see you again. When you are in this age".

" why?". What a stupid question.
" 'why?' because I love you. And heaven is not heaven without you. I looked for you there, but it seemed like you always be here. Never see heaven".
" how can you be sure I am not going to hell?".
" cause if you did, I would know"

" you can't tell anybody. This is very dangerous to tell" he said it in a low voice looking deep in my eyes.
" what am I ?" I asked.
" you are Alice, the girl I love and the girl I will never let go". He was so sweet. I wondered if he had wings but didn't ask.

He was an angel. That explained a lot. Like how sexy he was. How he moved and talked like he knew me.

" you look tiered, want to sleep over?" I wasn't like that before, offering guys to sleep in my bed. But he is an angel, falling for me every time I am 15. Instead of being in heaven!

" no, I can't. I can stay with you till you fall asleep".
Maybe angels didn't sleep.
I put my head on his chest and started to hear this heart beat. I followed the rhythm and I fell asleep.

I woke up late. Didn't care much. I only thought of the best sleep I had in my life. And James, he told me the truth. Knock, knock.

" honey?Are you dressed up? You will get late for school". Mom didn't know. I couldn't tell her so I said
" mom, calm down. I will be downstairs in a minute". It was true I took a nice top with dark jeans and my converse shoes. Brushed my hair as fast as I could and went to get my bag. I ran to get my skateboard.

I was 3 minutes late.
" Alice, you can't be late".
Stupid teachers never learn. In the end of a school year no one really cared.
" yes, I am sorry". I lied.
Boring lesson went on and I saw John talking to a girl in front of me. It was a I am going to make you jealous moment. I didn't care. James sat behind me. If I wasn't late I could sit next to him, but one of the guys sat and joked with him about water fights and pranks.

What was it for a lesson? I had no idea. I didn't care. A top student shouldn't think that way. But I did. My mind thought of something else .

" want to met up after school?" I asked James.
" where?"
" my place" was my answer but his was a smile.
