Chapter One - Should I?
"Val, would you just stop moping already and ask him out?"
"But Caitie.... you don't understand....he...I....it could ruin our friendship"
"Thats the best excuse you could come up with? 'It could ruin our friendship' Thats pathetic Val, it really is." The two were walking down the corridor of the Kingsport high school that they attended. Val gave Caitie a pleading glance, and nearly walked into the subject of her conversation, Tyler Connell. She thought he was perfect, with his dirty blonde hair and cheeky grin. It always made her feel warm inside to see him.
"Hey, Val, penny for them?"
"Huh? Oh, my god, I'm so sorry, I totally wasn't looking where I was going."
"Don't worry about it." When he spoke to her, her knees turned to jelly and she was unable to think on her own.
"Well, I'd better leave you to lovebirds on your own. I need to go and talk to a teacher about detention or something." Caitie's voice snapped Val back into reality.
"No, Caitie, I need you to...." Val voice trailed off
"See you later Val" Val watched in a mixture of horror and gratefulness as Caitie walked of down the corridor.
"So what was she talking about, 'lovebirds'? Is there something I don't know?" Val spun round.
"Huh, what? Oh, no, no, not at all, she's just joking around. Always joking, thats Caitie."
"Really, she doesn't seem like the joking type." Tyler had a note of disbelief in his voice. Val looked at him in desperation. She wasn't sure whether she should ask him this or not, but the suspense of not knowing was killing her. She looked straight into his eyes.
"Ok, I'm gunna be straight with you."
"Oh good, I like it when people are honest."
"Tyler Connell, erm, well, it's kinda hard for me to ask you this, um...." she broke off, and started chewing her nail.
"C'mon Val, spit it out." His voice wasn't demanding, but it had a note of urgency in it. And the way he was looking at her, there was no way that he could say no - was there? Val took a deep breath.
"Ok, Tyler Connell, will you go out with me?" There, it was said now.
"Wow, Val, wow, thats quite a line."
"It's a no, isn't it? I knew I shouldn't of asked, it was just stupid, I'm gunna go now." She made to walk off, but Tyler held her arm to stop her.
"Hey, Val, it's not a no...."
"But it's not a yes either, is it?" she cut in.
"I never said that..." Just then the bell for class rang.
"Oh, shoot, class, I've gotta go. Pretend I never said anything. I can't believe I was so stupid, to think that....Oh my god, I'm such an idiot...."
"Val - I'm saying yes."
"You see, I knew I shouldn't of asked you, it was -" she broke off "Wait a minute, did you just say yes?"
"Yes"
