What's In It For Me

by Nelvie Soliven

  Reed finally married my mom this summer. The wedding took place in the beach (perfect summer wedding) with some close friends and relatives. My mom, formerly Rosaline Faith Sherlock, was now proud Mrs. Crowe. I decided to stick to Sherlock though, for uh, sentimental reasons.

  As Andrew drove our way to Massachusetts in his brand new Ford which were given to him by his parents (which were totally okay now, after I pointed out and they realized that extraordinary sons like Chris and Drewey deserve a happy family), with our college stuff in the back, I looked at him and I have to smile.

  "What?" He asked when he saw me staring at him. "Do you want me to sing 'Passenger Seat' now?"

  I laughed. "Oh please no. Your singing sucks."

  "I've got all that I need, right here in the passenger seat," he started singing anyway, stealing glances at me. God, he was so beautiful. "I can't keep my eyes on the road,"

  "Knowing that she's inches from me." I sang with him. His singing might be very awful but I actually like it that way. You don't expect him to be perfect, do you?

  Life really has its way of letting me know that I will never gonna be number one forever, even if I did graduated valedictorian in high school and landed in a really cool college for women. The guy sitting next to me, with his eye-full of sapphires and jet black hair (that's badly in need of a haircut), is and will be number one for me. I never expected anything like this to happen. As we drove by countless McDonalds and across state lines, I watch this insanely awesome guy and wonder how in the world could he drive with both hands on the wheel but still have a hold on my heart.

  So that's about it. Probably the smartest and most handsome guy in the world, a scholarship in one of the most prestigious school in the country and a bright future ahead. Sometimes, it's just too early to assume anything. I never in my wildest imagination expected Alleyn to become one of the most important people in my life or get in Radcliffe. But I guess that, even if you think you got your life under control, you'll never know what's in it for you until it comes.
