"Today's the day." I said to myself. "You are going to ask her out." I checked out how I looked one last time in the mirror before walking out of the bathroom.
I grabbed my book-bag and my keys and headed out the door. The drive to school felt like it took forever, it seemed like Morty couldn't go fast enough.
As I approached the parking lot I made sure Fitz and his groupies weren't in my spot again. Thankfully they weren't, so I parked in the lot and then walked into the school trying to not make an idiot out of myself as I went.
I saw Clare standing next to Adam at her locker. She looked more beautiful than ever, I just hoped she'd say yes.
"Good morning Clare, and Adam." I said.
"Oh I see how it is dude," Adam said punching my shoulder.
"Good morning," Clare said smiling.
"Hey could I have a second?" I asked her.
"Afraid to say something in front of me?" Adam asked.
"No," I said smirking. "Clare are you busy Friday night?"
"Um, no not that I know of. Why?"
"Would you like to go out with me?"
"Like a date?"
"Of course on a date," I said rolling my eyes.
She was quiet a minute, which made me nervous but I tried not to let it show.
"Yes," she said smiling.
"Cool, I'll instant message you better details tonight."
Just as I was about to swoop in for a kiss the bell rang so I gathered up my bag and headed to first period.
I sat down in my desk, listening to the teacher drone on and on for what seemed like hours. Before I knew it, it was lunch time and I was sitting outside of the school eating with Adam and Clare.
"You know I'm kind of feeling like a third wheel here." Adam said after we had been ignoring him for five minutes.
"Sorry dude," I said after a minute. "So how are things?"
"The same as they have been for the last week. At least they're letting me walk to class by myself again."
"Um, guys I have to go see Alli about something. See ya in English!" She said running off quickly.
"Is it just me or is Clare acting weird since I asked her out?" I asked.
"She's probably nervous…I mean jeez the tension between the both of you the last few weeks was killing me."
"Oh, sorry dude." I said laughing. "What should I do then?"
"Maybe instead of hanging with me…you should chill with her tonight."
"But we've been waiting for this concert for weeks." I said questioning his sanity.
"I'll get another ride, you guys should chill together."
"Fine, how to persuade her to go to a concert on a school night though."
"Shouldn't be too hard, convincing her parents will be the tough part."
"I have a way with parents, don't worry about it." I said as the bell rang.
Adam and I raced into our seats barely making it on time before the teacher entered.
I scrambled to find a scrap piece of paper so I could write Clare a note, succeeding when I found some old homework.
Hey Clare, Adam just backed out on me for a Bullet For My Valentine concert…you wanna come with?
I passed it to her suavely and waited for a response.
Yeah sure, but how are you going to convince my parents to let me go on a school night? I mean…you drive a Hearse!
Yes, but to parents I look like the sweetest guy in the world. No one has to know I'm not.
She rolled her eyes at me before Ms. Dawes confiscated the note.
"Mr. Goldsworthy and Ms. Edwards what have we here?" Ms. Dawes asked.
"Sorry Ms. Dawes, we just needed to straighten out our plans for tonight." Clare said, then her eyes widened when she realized what she said. The class burst into laughter while Ms. Dawes continued her lecture.
Soon the bell rang, signaling our release from school and my chance to make up for class.
"Sorry for getting us caught, I was trying to be sneaky." She said before I could apologize.
"It was my fault, but it's all in the past. I'll come by your house at five, dress appropriately." I said smirking at her.
"Who said I wouldn't?" She said back smiling. She gave me a small peck on the cheek before leaving.
I walked over to Morty and collapsed in the front seat. From how it looked right now, things were finally gonna be okay.
-a/n- Alright well tell me what ya think. Should have the next chapter up soon if people enjoy it! Thanks!
Love, MH
