Recap: "I hope not." I say, opening my locker as Melody rushes off to talk to Violet about tonight. I grab my books and shove my bags into my decreasing locker, slamming it shut and revealing the student body president himself, Nathaniel.

Disclaimer: I do not own My Candy Love.

"Oh, hello, Nathaniel." I smile.

"Hello, Carolina." He smiled back, "Can we talk in the student council room real quick. There's something I need to tell you." I simply nodded and followed him into the room, which I was surprised by. Instead of its usual musty smell, papers and folders everywhere, and delegates like Melody running around like crazy, it was light up by candles, the normal lights turned off with the blinds down. The smell of lavender and roses filled my nose at first breath, and the only ones in the room was me and Nathaniel. There was also a new sound of classical music, probably to add to the already romantic mood set by Nathaniel.

I received the sense that Nathaniel may have fallen in love with one of the girls here. But, question is, who? Could it have been Melody? Capucine? Maybe even Iris? And he's showing me his display of affection towards this girl because she's one of my friends, and he wants to know if she will like it and maybe fall in love with him, too.

But if he was showing this to me, could it mean that he may have fallen in love with me? I'm already overwhelmed

"Nathaniel? What's going on here?" I ask, "Who's the girl that you did this for?"

"I'll make it quick." He says, the candlelight illuminating his face, "Carolina, I've thought a lot about our friendship." This answered the biggest question I needed an answer to. Nathaniel did this all for me. But, why? It was true that Nathaniel and myself were good friends. Our friendship was nearly as strong as mine with Alexy. With this being said, I didn't want anything more than to be friends if that is remotely even possible. I didn't want to chance me being stuck with a bratty, spoiled sister-in-law, anyways.

"Yeah, what about it, Nathaniel?" I questioned, still unsure why he would go out of his way to impress me.

"Well, I was thinking that, maybe we should..." Nathaniel's voice trailed, leaving me perplexed.

"Maybe we should what?" I ask, most likely already knowing the answer.

"Maybe we should... you know, be more than friends." He says in a hushed tone, using his left arm to hold the back of his neck, "And more than just a couple."

"What are you suggesting Nathaniel?" I ask, hoping that what I was thinking wasn't true.

Nathaniel got on one knee.

Oh, God, what is he doing.

He pulls something out of his pocket.

He wouldn't!

He opened the small box in his hands

He's not!

"Carolina Rose, will you marry me?"
