Chapter 3. January 18 2009

This is going to be my first time back at the ward since i have been back from Maryland for Christmas break. I Got back a while ago but I have been going to different wards for different things. But now i am going be late. Dang it.
I waited for my roommate to get ready and we headed into the institute building. Sacrament meeting was over, so we headed over to Sunday school and it is packed! "Amy" I said," Lets go into the living area and we can read over the ensign." So we are walking towards the living area when suddenly.... There he is. Brandon Wilson. The elders quorum president who is too busy to notice cute girls. I smiled as we walked by thinking i wasnt even going to get a glance and he says" Hey! You get to sunday school!" Wow...... forceful, but i think he is joking., somewhat. " Well you see", I say confidently, "Sunday school is pretty packed so we are just going to go talk about really spiritual things in the living room." I turn around quick and Amy gives me the eye. She knows who he is, and she remembers my little flame for him.
We sit down on the amazingly comfortable couches they have set up and We talk about Brandon for a second. I am pretty nonshalant about it becuase I dont know why he is affecting me so much. Boys don't affect me. I affect them. End of story. So i pull out the ensign because i was serious about spiritual conversations when all of the sudden mr. too good (but sooo cute) comes around the corner with his roommate darrin. They sit down next to us and he acknowledges that i was right, and sunday school is packed.
After that just like in the car, the easy conversation starts up again. Except for this time I am So nervous. WHY AM I NERVOUS!! people don't make me nervous. especially boys! I start blabbing off about how the feelings of the spirit could be comparable to eating hot muffins and having them slide down your throat. (WHAT AM I SAYING... nervous word vomit) But he laughs anyways... after a curious look. The conversation keeps going and its time for our next set of classes. So we left brandon with a challange. Have good news minute in elders quorum that day. ( and i dont think he is going to do it so i hire a boy to ask to have it)
We get out of relief society and are walking out to our car when i see him. "Hey, did you have good news minute today?" He replies" I knew you put them up to that!" As we are talking a couple of friends of mine pass by and ask if i am hosting games tonight like i always do on sundays. I told them yes and they were walking out and then the thought came.... Elyse just ask him. If he doesnt then he's not interested. So i say "hey you know you should come to game night tonight. It is really fun I think you'd like it. " He asks me what time and I don;t really know becuase it varies. I say 7ish or 8 ish when amy cuts in and says,"Hey elyse why don't you get brandons number so you can text him and let him know what time we are having it?" (THANKYOU AMY) so he agrees and after he gives me his number Amy and him keep chatting. I get to the part in my phone where i have to insert the name and i decided that i am going to be clever and cute and put him in there as the elders quorum president. What was it that amy called hers? oh yeah EC.... I cut into their conversation and say, " So i am putting you in my phone as EC.. i smile, a cute and very innocent smile and all i get back is silence and an extremely curious look from him. What is going on? Amy is busting up laughing and so is he so i retrace my thoughts.. Elders quorum isnt EC its EQ! "NIce Amy, Elders quorum starts with a Q not a C.." And she retorts "YEAH and EC is Eternal Companion!"
Oh my gosh, i am going to die..... I just called my sorta crush who i barely know, who wont even pay attention to me my EC!!!! OH MY GOSH!!! and he knows what it means!!!! OH MY GOSH! "Well Elyse", he says, " The nex temple trip is on the 14th so we could just go get married while everyone else is doing baptisms." Did he really just say that... He totally just made the most awkward situation of my life not awkward.....wow, I think i am in love.

Chapter 3 Brandon's POV

Chapter 3

I am going to be late for sunday school because i helped take down the sacrament. Oh well i guess its ok to be late every once in a while. So as im walking to sunday school i see Elyse and some other girl, wow she really does go to church every once in a while!!! wait she just went right past the sunday school classrooms. So i really don't want to go to sunday school by myself and i really want to have her come sit by me so i do the whole " sunday school is back that way" and she says "its full we are going to have our own, in the hall" so i look in the classroom and sure enough it is full. So i tell darrin my roommate that we should go with the girls so we go into the hall where they are and i see Elyse sitting down and her eyes kinda got big and so i asked if we could sit in on the lesson also. So Elyse kindly said yes and let me sit by her. She teaches a lesson on how the holy ghost feels like a "hot muffin" I look up at the clock and see that im late for Elders meeting and im the president so i tell them i have to go and we part ways. after elders is done i go out into the hall and look who is there, it Elyse i just go right back to talking to her because i loved the sunday school lesson so much. So we talk for a little bit then she invited me to game night i tell her that would be really fun. So then she gets my phone number and.....

Stay tuned for the next chapter :)

Chapter 2 the short chapter

So should we just have Elyse tell her side of the story or do you guys want to keep hearing my side also? she does a lot better job telling it than i do.

Chapter 2 (october temple trip -january17)

I wonder if i will ever see that Elyse girl? i really want to say "Please" just like Rihanna does becuause she thought that was way funny and it made her laugh so hard. I bet she is dating somebody right now and she is like the best looking girl in the ward so even if she isn't she probably has dates every night anyway oh well i guess i'll stick to racketball and refing basketball for the rest of my life. She is inactive anyway i never see her at church.

Chapter Two: The day after (elyse's POV)

That temple trip was so much fun! I met an awesome guy, who seemed really interested, but then declined my movie... so who knows if he is or not. Today is Sunday. I will for sure see him at church so I better look my best. I am pretty sure it took me a lot longer to get ready today than it ever has in my entire life. But i look hot, so it is worth it!
I walk into church (kind of strutting) and there he is. I don't know what i should do. Should I say hi? That might be too forward... what am i thinking?? Hi being too forward? Oh well, I'll just let him see me first, because the ball is in his court. I basically asked him out last night! I didn't even want to watch a movie, i only said that to hang out with him longer and he said no! Nice one Elyse!! Oh goodness here he comes! Needless to say he walked right past me. He didn't say hi, He didn't even notice me. Well dangit.... I had fun yesterday, didn't he? He seemed like he did...Well Elyse, you are a strong woman who looks so good today and I am sure there are more guys out there who are willing to man up and ask you out. Who needs Brandon Wilson anyways. He wasn't interested anyways.
