"Pencils, Notebooks, Folders," I went through my checklist like every morning."Pens, textbooks, A-Scanner, it's all here!" I closed my backpack and headed out.
"CHRISTOPHER!," my mother called,"You forgot your energy bar." I took the bar from my mother and put it in my bag.
"Thanks mom!," I smiled. I gave my mother a kiss and walked to school. As always, I left at exactly 8:15am. I checked my watch and made my way to Cathy and Robin's house. I always seemed to run into Danny.
"YO CHRIS!!," he shouted from across the street. I waved and looked both ways before I crossed.
"Hey Danny," I smiled. Danny looked at my backpack.
"Why is your bookbag always so big?," he asked.
"Because I need all of my materials for education!," I replied.
"Uh-huh," Danny said. Sometimes I feel like Danny doesn't understand the importance of a good education. When I get older, I want to be the greatest scientist that has ever lived. I want to be able to find cures to all kinds of dieases and be married to the girl I love the most, but I won't get into that. School was ending in 2 weeks and I had to finish all of my end of the year projects.
"So....," Danny started,"Have you asked Robin to the prom yet?" Oh no! Not these talks with Danny again. I felt sorta dizzy. I scratched my head and thought about how to answer.
"Well.....the truth is, I haven't gone around to that yet," I smirked. Danny folded his arms and shook his head.
"That's just sad," he said,"You can't even ask your own girlfriend out or to prom!" I tried to lighten up the situation and I smiled. That didn't really help though.
I saw Robin walking down the street with Sam and Cathy. I looked at Danny. He had that evil look on his face.
"No please, not now!," I pleaded.
"Then when?," Danny asked me. I thought for a second.
"What if I did it at lunch.....TODAY!," I asked. Danny smiled.
"That's perfect," Danny said,"Can't wait to see this."
"Me too," I said to myself.
-The Cafeteria, SingleTown Middle School-
I walked into the cafeteria with my index cards. Written on them was what I was going to say to Robin when I asked her.
"My dearest Robin...," I tried my best to rehearse all 10 index cards. I sat at a lunch table and practiced. Danny walked into the cafeteria and sat by me.
"Whatcha' doin' Romeo?," Danny asked me.
"I'm no where close to his expertice," I replied,"I'm trying to practice what I'm gonna say to Robin." Danny slapped me on my back, HARD!!!
"Don't worry," Danny said,"Just play it cool. You'll be fine!" I felt a little bit better. I guess Robin won't be hard on me or anything. After all, she is my girlfriend.
"Okay," I smiled,"I'll just play it cool!" I ripped up my index cards and threw them away. That's when Robin walked in.
"WHAT HAVE I DONE!!!!!," I shouted. I was about to reach into the garbage but Danny held me back.
"What ever happened to playin it cool?," he asked.
"FORGET WHAT I SAID!," I replied. I looked over at Robin and noticed something strange. Robin was walking with some other guy to a lunch table.
"Who is that?," I asked myself. I looked closer and noticed. Robin was sitting with........MARK!!!!
