Wally West was a junior this year. He had grown more into his own skin. He was muscular but not overdone. He'd grown taller and he chose more skin tight shirts to highlight his toned chest. He mainly did it for Artemis. Not because she liked it, I mean she did, but he did it because she got really territorial when she saw girls check him out. That normally involved making out.
However today making Artemis jealous was nowhere in his mind. He had forgotten Valentines day again. He had one shot to make it up to her. He ran as fast as he could to her school library. (she goes there when she's mad) she walked out the door in casual clothes. A beige crop top and skinny jeans. She stopped short when she saw him there with a card and a nervous smile.
"You have a card. I guess that means you finally realized V-day was 3 days ago." she said crossing her arms and standing right in front of him.
"Um... Yeah. Here." he said handing the card to her. She opened it and read what was in side.
Dear Arty,
Sorry I forgot V-day AGAIN. Love, Wally
She looked up and he was holding a small pot with a strange looking red flower. She gave him a quizzical look.
"It's called a spitfire. You told me last time to be more creative the next time. So..." he said gripping the plant. A grin spread across her face as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.
"I'm guessing this means I'm forgiven?" he says when they separate.
"Yeah. I guess, the spitfire flower was nice touch." she said taking the plant from him. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and they walked away from the library.
