"So…err… will you go out with me?" Shock hit me like a tidal wave… now? With everyone watching?
"Umm… What?" I could feel myself blushing and I looked down at my lap.
"W-will you go out with me" He repeated. Everything was silent. It felt as if my heart had stopped beating. Everybody was staring.
"Err… yes?" I could feel the disappointment rising within me… why did he do it now, with everyone watching?
"Awkward turtle!" A voice shouted from across the park.
"Shut up!" I retorted as I stepped down from the climbing frame to finally hug the boy with the mirrored sunglasses… why didn't he take them off?
I breathed in deeply as a smile spread across my face. His smell was heavenly and I was the happiest I had been in weeks. But then, suddenly, he pulled away and was gone. I felt my smile melt to be replaced by despair, but I quickly wiped that away and turned a blank face towards his slowly diminishing figure. I grabbed for the smooth, cold metal of the climbing frame, missing the first time, and slowly climbed back up.
"You alright?" came a voice from beside me, "You look more depressed than you did before." I turned to look at her, confusion fixed on my face and spoke the only three words running through my mind,
"That was retarded."
