Chapter 1: The Brothers' Grad Date Problem
"Hey bro!" I yell across the room to my older brother Mario, "you ever thought about who you're gonna bring to the grad dance?" "Well of course Luigi, I'm bringing Peach." he says in the most annoyed voice ever. Now that I think about it, that's the only voice he ever uses to talk to me… Anyway, back to the conversation. "Have you thought about who you're gonna take?" he asks me. I have to think about my answer for a second. "Well, I was thinking of asking Dais…" "Well then ask her!" he yells in my face. "Okay, okay. I'll ask her tomorrow." Uh-oh. Now that I've said that, my brother won't let it rest until I actually do it. Tomorrow…
In the morning, I get ready for school with only one thing on my mind. I absolutely have to ask Daisy to be my grad date. Today. After all, there is only three days until my grade 8 graduation. When I finally reach homeroom, I've planned to ask Daisy right before lunch.
(After Class)
I build up my courage to walk up to Daisy and ask her, but as I see her walking out of her classroom, Waluigi, one of my least favorite people to put it kindly, rushes up behind me, pushes me to the ground, and runs up to Daisy, asking her to be his grad date right in front of me! How I hate, I mean dislike, him. Great. I waited too long. Now me, Luigi, Mario's brother, is going to show up at grad without a date. How embarrassing.
I am so mad as I head to lunch. So mad in fact, that I use my death stare on a few people who just looked at me. I think it started a few unnecessary conversations. Just as I am about to head into the cafeteria, a cute girl who I've seen before but never really talked to, bumps into me and drops all her books. I whip around, but this time to smile and help her with her books. I feel kind of like a wierdo looking at her while I help her, but I just can't help it. I never realized how pretty she was. As she gets up, she is really red in the cheeks, and rushes away pretty fast. "Wait!" I yell. Doing something I have never done before. "What's your name?" "Umm… Amber." She says, coming back to me in a hurry. "I know this may seem completely weird since we've only ever talked briefly, but, would you like to be my grad date?"
I can't believe what I have just said. I have just asked Amber, a girl I literally just asked her name, to be my grad date. What I really can't believe, is her response. "Really?!" she is practically jumping up and down at the prospect. "Of course I will!" I am in utter shock that she said yes. Meanwhile, Amber's cheeks are glowing red, waiting for me to say something. "That's awesome. I'll see you around then." "Bye!" Amber says, and walks away. This time with a spring in her step. See you around?! I think to myself?! Wow. That was lame.
