Zachary Jay Goode looked at the list Grant, Jonas and Nick had given him. As he scanned the list, he sighed and nervously ran his hand through his hair. He was going to propose to his long time girlfriend, and his best friends had given him a list of ideas on how to do it. He thought back to when he was younger.
He was three years old and was running around with his older sister. It was her 10th birthday, and he wanted to surprise her. When it was time to open presents, he disappeared. Without anyone realizing it of course. He had returned, with a little box grasped in his fist. He presented it to his sister and waited eagerly as she slowly opened it. She looked to him, confusion and amusement written clearly in her eyes.
"A toy truck Zachy?" she asked. His excitement had quickly dissolved into confusion.
"What? No!" he had protested. "It was supposed to be a flower!" And then he heard his mom say, "He means well, but surprises and things like that just fall through. He tries so hard to make it perfect, but he just.... tries to hard. I would love to see him propose to a girl...."
Zach shook the thought out of his mind. He would not muck this up. His proposal to Cammie would be perfect. Nick and Macey, Jonas and Liz, and Grant and Bex were already married. He and Cammie were the last of their little group. He sighed and looked at the first item on the list.
