"Just ask him out!" my best friend told me. Me and her were standing by my locker. "I'm too nervous." I said while blushing. We were both talking about Arthur Kirkland, the new English exchange student from England. He had just transferred to our school a couple weeks before, and I was head over heels in love with him. Not only did I like his looks, but I also admired his personality. Even though he had a short temper, he was mostly nice. I liked everything about him...no, scratch that. I LOVED everything about him. My friend spoke up again. "C'mon! Just ask him out to ice cream or something." My friend was trying to be supportive, and I appreciated it. But sometimes I wished she would just back off and let me deal with it myself. "Okay...fine! I'm gonna ask him out to ice cream." I tell her. Slowly, I walked up to Arthur who was putting stuff away at his locker. I tapped his shoulder. "H-hey Arthur. How are you today?" Arthur turns to you and smiles. "Hello, love. I'm doing fine. How are you?" he says. His sweet, sweet British accent was music to my ears and I couldn't help but blush. I responded, "Oh I'm doing good thanks...So listen, there's something I've been meaning to ask you" The blush returned to my face as I stumbled over my words. "W-would you l-like to go get i-ice cream with me after school?" I saw a blush spread across his face. He scratches the back of his neck as he says "Sure. T-that would be nice, love!" Suddenly the bell rang and it was time for my next class. "Well...see you in class, love" Arthur said as he went to his next class. "Yeah...I'll see you." I say as I go to my next class. I could hardly wait for our date.

After school, me and Arthur were walking to the ice cream place. We talked for a bit about random things. Then Arthur asked me something that made me blush. "Love, i-is it ok if I...hold your hand?" I wasn't sure exactly how to respond. So I just nodded. Slowly, Arthur reached for my hand and took it in his own. Hand in hand, we walked down the street in silence.

Eventually, we got to the ice cream place. After choosing our desired flavors, Arthur pulls out his wallet and says, "I can pay for us, love." "Are you sure? Cause the ice cream here is pretty expensive." I tell him. "No, I insist", he said as he gave the money to the person. Once We got our ice creams, we two sat at a near by picnic table since it was an outdoor ice cream place. As Arthur and I ate our frozen treats, I thought of something, "Is Arthur enjoying this date." I thought. I kept thinking about this for a while as I ate my ice cream until Arthur snapped me out of my thoughts. He said, "Um, love?...You've got ice cream on your lips. I'll get it for you." He then gently pressed his lips to mine. My eyes widen in surprise, but I eventually close them as I set my ice cream down and wrap my arms around his neck. Arthur wraps his arms around my waist. It takes my brain a few moments to really process what's happening, but once it finally did, I was even more surprised. My crush, Arthur Kirkland, was actually kissing me. After some time, we break the kiss. Arthur presses his forehead against mine. We look into eachother's eyes. "L-Love...I've liked you for a very long time...would you please be my girlfriend?", he asks. I immediately answered "I would love that!" And with that, we finish our ice creams (occasionally kissing in between), and Arthur walked me home. We share a goodnight kiss before he makes his way home. As I entered my house and close the door behind me, I thought to myself, "Today was a good day." I couldn't wait to tell my friend about everything that just happened.
