Beck rubbed his hands on his jeans. They were collecting with sweat 'I have officially gone crazy' he thought. Everybody knew how cold, hard and rejective Jade was.
Jade shut the door to her locker and turned around. The guy had been standing there for the past two minutes, staring at her. What the heck was he thinking?
She was walking away when he approached her.
"Um, hi, I'm Beck; I'm in your acting class." He said.
"Okay, thanks for the news flash, now you can get lost"
"Oh, well, I, uh, um, got you some flowers."
WHAT THE HELL Jade thought as the guy thrust a bunch of purple ameris' into her hands.
Jade burst into laughter. The guy bought her flowers? "WHY did you get me FLOWERS?" She sputtered through her laughter.
"Well, you're a girl and girls like flowers." He said, rubbing his neck with one hand and messing his – totally WOW that even Jade had to admit- hair.
'Oh. Shit' he thought. That was sooo the wrong thing to say. She had stopped laughing and looked like she was getting angry.
'What was wrong with this guy, comparing her to other girls? Did he HAVE a death wish? Or did he want one?' She thought.
"I've got one thing to tell you, dude, THIS girl does NOT like flowers. Actually, flowers are amongst the many things she HATES, got that?"
The look on his face-kind of nervous and innocentish- and those beautiful eyes of his almost stopped her from tearing those flowers to pieces, throwing them on the ground and flattening them under her boot. ALMOST. She did it though, and watched his face crumble.
Jade flounced out the hallway, leaving him there watching her back. She thought of what had just happened. There was something seriously wrong with that boy. HE BROUGHT HER FLOWERS! Nobody brought Jade West flowers.
But, he did. Yeah, he got her, Jade West, flowers.
Suddenly, Jade spun around on her heel and walked back until she was practically standing under Beck's nose.
"So," she said "D'ya wanna go to a movie tonight?"
Beck's mouth fell open. "W-wait,….what?"
"I'm asking you on a date, nub! You better say yes."
"B-but y-you tore the flowers."
"Yeah, well. I had second thoughts. Nobody's ever brought me flowers before. I think I want a try a kinda guy who brings a girl like me some frikkin flowers. So , you planning on saying yes anytime this year." Jade said to a shocked, surprised and overjoyed Beck.
"Um, ur, yes, YES. I'd love to go the movies. Yes yes yes!"
"Good. See you in Sikovitz class." She walked away wondering if maybe, maybe she hadn't made a mistake.
'Oh My God' Beck thought looking at the ceiling, feeling a Cheshire grin forming on his lips.
All the others boys watching thought why, oh, why had they not tried flowers and all the girls wishing that a guy would somehow appear with flowers for them.
