ADAM
As Wilder sat down at his desk, he couldn’t help to think about Amanda. The reaction to the coupon was just as he expected, and he was happy about that, but he was nervous, about the date and what if she wanted to kiss him? He wouldn’t know the first thing to do, of course he has kissed a girl before but this was Amanda. He had been waiting for that moment for so long, he feared he might ruin it, ruin her first kiss. He wanted that to be special. “Wilder…Wilder dude get on your article and stop thinking about sandwiches.” Noah said interupping Wilder thoughts. He quickly started typing, his article about the new skateboarding game that just came out. ” The game is a must have if you are seeking adventure and mad skateboarding tricks. ” Wilder said aloud as he finished his article. He leaned back in his chair and started spinning, a habit Wilder had.“Come on Amanda, we have 1 hour left to finish up this article and then we have the whole weekend to look at fashion magazines!” whine Rebecca. It was a late Friday afternoon and all the Teen Buzz writers were in finishing up the last touches to their articles, aiming for perfection. Amanda looked…
“That was one time, Amanda.” he replied as she stared him down, he finally broke. “Okay twice, but you have to admit, the mice were pretty cute, but they did eat my sandwiches. Evil mice. ” Amanda rolled her eyes as she got up and tried to find out what was behind Wilder’s back. Wilder backed away, trying to hide it. ” What is it?” she begged. Wilder just stood there smiling, trying to hide his nervous face. “It’s nothing, it’s just a sandwich.” He lied, which he hated doing, it always made him feel like a bad person. He wasn’t a liar, he couldn’t lie, and Amanda could tell he was. “Really Wilder, what is behind you?” Amanda whined. Wilder finally took his hand out of hiding behind his back. There revealed yet another homemade coupon. No this time it wasn’t for a kiss, though Wilder wanted one. It was for one First Date with Wilder. He looked up at her and smiled, nervously. He feared she would reject him. He awaited for her reaction.
Amanda eyes opened wide at the sight of the coupon. “oh…em…gee” she said quietly as she just stared. “uh…Amanda? earth to Amanda!” said Wilder. He wasn’t too sure how to react to Amanda’s reaction, so he decided to still wait. She slowly took the coupon from Wilder’s hand and clentched it close to her chest. “Wilder you have no idea how long I waited for this” she said as looked Wilder into his eyes. “I’m guessing as long as the aliens wanted to attack earth and take over the world and make humans into their pets.” answered Wilder as he took another sip of his smoothie. “Way to ruin the moment” said Michael as he walk by Wilder with a disappointing look. Dj then walked out of her office with her cellphone in one hand and her purse in another. Once she noticed the Teen Buzz writers weren’t doing their jobs, she was not amused. “Writers what are you doing? we have articles due in 45 minutes! Let’s go, let’s go, let’s go!” she said as she snapped her fingers walking towards the elevator. Everyone suddenly scurried to their desk knowing the pressure is on. “I’ll be in the blurb for a break, and by the looks for it you guys already had yours” she said noticing the smoothies. ” Hey! the Wildman was craving a delicious smoothie from the blurb! speaking of cravings, the Wildman could use a sandwich” said Wilder as he got up to head to the kitchen. “SIT” yelled DJ from across the room. “No one move from now till I say so we need to finish these up! and I mean it guys!” said DJ sternly as the doors of the elevator closed. Wilder walked back to his desk with his head down as Amanda watched. He looked up and noticed she was looking at him as he smiled back.
Dj walked in from the elevator pleased to see everyone at their desk and working. “Ah, such hard workers!” she said smiling as she walked back into her office. Amanda was finish with her article and was once again bored. “Done” smiled Rebecca for her desk. “Awestruck! ME TOO!” jumped up Wilder from his spinning chair, extremely dizzy. “Please don’t puke bro” said Noah disgusted. “Whoa Noah, why are moving so fast? and everywhere? you have to teach me that!” said Wilder in a dazed. He was obviously spinning in that chair for a little too long and it was finally getting to him. “What? first of Wilder, I’m sitting. Second, maybe you should too.” said Noah a little worried, but he turned his attention right back to his computer screen to finish his article. Amanda looked down into her hands where she held the first date coupon.
“Should I use it now? ugh, no, thats too desperate.” she thought to herself axiously. She really liked Wilder and knew she had hurt him in the past, which is the last thing she wanted to do again.” Oh man, I only see one Noah again” frowned Wilder. Out of no where there was a very loud grumble coming from Wilder’s stomach. “Gasp. What was that?” said Michael with a worried look on his face. Wilder placed his hands on his stomach, “Ah no need to worry Michael, the Wildman is just hungry…for sandwiches to be exact. Off to the kitchen!” said Wilder as he ran off into the kitchen like a super hero. “Here’s my chance to talk to him” thought Amanda. She stood up and straightened out her red collard shirt, while fixing her long black hair. She hesitated for a bit, but finally had the courage to walked into the kitchen where she’ll be alone with Wilder.
“Come on Amanda, we have 1 hour left to finish up this article and then we have the whole weekend to look at fashion magazines!” whine Rebecca. It was a late Friday afternoon and all the Teen Buzz writers were in finishing up the last touches to their articles, aiming for perfection. Amanda looked…
