Surprise!
I'd never felt this nervous before. I doubt I'd ever feel this nervous again, even if I was trapped in a room with a dozen hungry trolls. The reason why I'm nervous? I'm about to ask Grub Kelp, who I've had a crush on ever since I first met him, out to dinner.
I know it would make more sense if I asked Trouble out to dinner. He's brave, strong, good looking and very well known as the better of the Kelp brothers. But Grub had a sort of innocent charm that I found deeply attractive. Of course I acted like he was annoying and stupid around LEP jocks, but only so I could fit in. at least I didn't make fun of him and take his uniform while he was in the shower in the change room like some. That I could be proud of.
I'd finally caught him when no one was around. Usually I was surrounded by friends so I have to ask today. But I'm not ready! I need more time to prepare.
"Hey, Grub," I said shakily. I swallowed my mouth was so dry.
"What?" he asked. He eyed me suspiciously. He probably thought I was oing to make a rude comment about his mummy.
"Would you like to go out with me?" I asked, so fast the words almost melded into one long mass of gibberish. Grub looked shocked, then suspicious again, probably trying to figure out if this was some kind of sick joke. I waited for his response, sweating and shaking in my boots.
Finally he smiled at me. "I'd love to Chix," he said, "But I'll have to ask mummy first."
A/N – This is just a very short one shot. Please review if you want to, even if it's to tell me how much it sucks. Or not.
