Cecily left the beach holding a torch and hoping that her set up would remain untouched by any other people on the island. As she walked along the pathway to Jim's dorm, she began to feel great tickles in her stomach, as though gentle butterflies were flitting around inside of her. She was nervous, which was odd, for it was not a common feeling that she had. She wondered for a moment why she would be nervous, for she had spent many times alone with Jim, and she had even kissed him before, although that did seem like an eternity ago now. Perhaps it was all new to her again.
The path seemed to be years long, a never ending winding road that lead to a great number of possibilities that she will never see. But Cecily was allowing her imagination to run away with her, and she felt that she needed some great focus in order to prepare herself for her first date in....ever. She was wearing an outfit that she quite enjoyed that she had just recently pulled out of the clothes box, which was a plus for everything else about her seemed extremely imperfect. It was a white dress that came to just above her knee, and the top was ruffled upward, stopping just at the line below her chest. Cecily smoothed out the dress with her free hand while she was walking and continued to wonder to herself about what the date would be like and what adventures it might lead her on.
Finally Cecily reached Jim's door, and after taking a long, deep breath, she knocked upon his door.
