“Mum, you know her?” Blake asks. Diane smiled and whispered to her, “is this the Blake?” She nodded still perplexed. “Ok, Blake, I’ll leave you two now, met her crying at the library. Oh dear, ok mum thanks”. Diane leaves and Blake sits next to Cara. “Hey, are you ok?”
Cara found herself stammering. “Ok ok, calm down now. I know how bad you must be feeling. But don’t think too much about it ok?” Blake consoled. Cara looked into his eyes and once again got lost in them. “Are you listening?”
“Oh God, I’m sorry I I I was, it’s fine. I’m glad you are ok now Cara”. Blake at this point couldn’t stop staring at Cara too. Her green eyes, clear skin, and beautiful smile. “Cara, I know you got distracted because of me. And I came here to tell you how much I like you too. But I never got the chance to until now”. Blake takes her hair and slides it behind her ear. Cara stopped breathing, she was shocked to her spine.
Maybe this was meant to happen, get sent out of class and get close to Blake. They looked at each other so deeply. Blake reached out for a kiss and Cara felt a slow rush in her belly, it was magical. Cara felt peaceful again, she felt less tension, she looked back at Blake and said “I like you too Blake”. He smiled at her, held her hand and they walked to God knows where. But Cara didn’t care, she was ok going to mars with him. She thought how Blake being her distraction led to this. “IT WAS A BLACKSTRACTION”
