Tristen's POV

Me and Skylar have been together for a long time now. I've loved her with all of my heart since the day I first saw her smile, and I've never stopped.

She's an angel that came down from heaven to brighten my life and show me how to truly be myself. I pray to God to keep her happiness alive forever. I thank Him for letting me have such a wonderful and loving person in my life.

This all leads me down to one decision that keeps appearing in my head... the big question.

My friends bring it up every now and then. People say how such a perfect couple we are that they get us mixed up for a married couple. I don't deny that we look cute together, but it still bugs me.

I lay in bed for the longest time thinking about Skylar. Was I ready to start our lives over together?

I don't want to put so much pressure on her shoulders. I would understand if she says no, because all I want is for her to be happy and to have everything that she deserves. If she says yes, I will love her until the end and to spoil her to death.

I listen to myself, noticing that I really do want this. I jump out of bed and shake the guys by their shoulders until they were both fully awake and listening to me.

"What's up dude?" Nino says, wiping the sleep from his eyes. I shyly tell him and Adrien what I've been thinking.

Adrien hugs me tightly and Nino joins in. I genuinely laugh and hug them back. We're all such dorks, but that's why we're roomies.

"How are you planning on asking her?" Adrien asks.

"You should plan something huge! Go all out, dude," Nino says, encouragingly slapping my shoulder.

"I'll have to think about it," I say.

"You know her better than everyone. What does she like? What are all of the fun memories you've made together?" Adrien asks me.

I think back to the first day of school. How she caught my eye and I saw her beautiful smile for the first time.

I think back to all of our fun memories back at high school. Most of them made in Professor A's room... wait! That's it!

"I think I might have an idea."

After a week of planning with Adrien and Nino, I finally came up with a plan. But it's going to take everyone from high school. I called everyone and asked them to meet me at Professor's room.

"This is definitely the best way to bring old friends together!" Kim says, friendly slapping me on the back.

Everyone crowds around me, each saying encouraging words that makes my heart warm up. I love classmate reunions.

Professor enters the room and we all greet him.

"What a wonderful surprise!" he says with his regular happy tone.

I walk up to him, about to say something, but when I open my mouth I suddenly freeze. He chuckles and I scratch the back of my neck.

"I already know why you're here, Mr. Kingsley," he says with a wink.

I stare wide-eyed at him. I am surprised for a second, but then realize that he always knew everything. I laugh and he puts both hands on my shoulders, shaking me gently.

We all sit at the large table and I spill the plan. I want her to be really surprised and have fun with her friends beforehand, but I don't want it to give anything away.

"What does Sky like to do in the morning on free days?" I ask Mari and Alya.

"She likes going to the library," Mari says. How can I make that work?

"Wait! Coffee! There's this super cute cafe that she loves going to. Sometimes the line can be extremely long, but when she's in the right mood, she'll wait in it all day," Alya says. Now that I can work with.

"While they're at the cafe, you will be here helping me and the others set up," Professor says to me. I nod and I start thinking of how I was really going to ask.

She loves painting, building, skateboarding, singing... I wonder if I can do them all in one.

"Do you happen to have a guitar?" I ask Professor.

He walks out of the closet with a torn-up wooden scraps of something that I can't put my finger on.

I look at the strings and piece it all together, realizing that it's the guitar. I have a feeling that this will be perfect.

I take out a piece of paper, doodling a small picture of me and Sky.

"That's lovely," Professor says, coming up behind me with another scrap of wood. This one is a lot easier to piece together.

Four wheels, board without handlebars, death-trap, it's gotta be a skateboard. I was willing to try it out, but just for Sky.

Singing isn't one of my best qualities, but I've played the guitar a few times before.

Everyone crowds around me as I scroll through some country songs. They tell me which ones are the best and I play them one by one. We all have the best time singing along. They all sound okay, but none seem to spark my attention.

"we were sittin up there on your momma's roof

talkin bout everything under the moon

the smell of honeysuckle and your perfume

all I could think about was my next move

oh but you were so shy, so was I

maybe that's way it was so hard to believe

when you smiled and said to me

are you gonna kiss me or not?

are we gonna do this or what?

I think you know I like you a lot

but you're bout to miss your shot

are you gonna kiss me or not?"

It grabs my attention almost instantly. Everyone sings quietly to the song, noticing that I was thinking hard about it.

This is the song... of course I'm going to change a few of the words towards the middle and end, but this is the one.

Professor brings us towards the stage and opens the curtains, revealing all different kinds of instruments.

"Where do you find all of this stuff?" I ask in shock, but I knew the answer. Nobody knows.

Everyone gets on the stage and and find their own instrument that they will play. We all sit and talk while Professor prints off sheets of music for us to study and practice.

Everyone is already stoked about this which makes me so happy. They are willing to do all of this just make this moment special for me.

How did I get so lucky to have such amazing friends? Their confidence builds mine up past the limit.

"Close your eyes and hold out your hand," Professor says, coming up to me with his hands behind his back. Everyone all crowds around me, wondering what the mysterious thing is behind his back.

I oblige and close my eyes, holding out a hand. I feel a small box land on my hand and I hear everyone gasp and squeal.

I slowly open my eyes and gasp. The box was still closed, but it was pretty obvious to guess what was inside.

"You don't have to do this Professor," I say. He closes my hand around the box and smiles. I slowly open the it, revealing the most beautiful ring I've ever seen.

I walk up to Professor and hug him tightly, my eyes starting to water. Everyone here has given me so much courage. But this truly completes it all, giving me all of the confidence I needs.
