Thea P.O.V
I smile as I watch the scene play out in front of me. I nudge Felicity and Lisa to make sure they're paying attention too, and they giggle with me. My brother's friend, senior Ronnie Raymond is reduced to a breathless mess in front of our friend Caitlin Snow. I'd figured out yesterday that she was the mystery girl that Oliver was trying to help find for him. We'd been helping her find the person who owned the missing textbook too, and I thought it was great that they just happened to be looking for each other.
My attention is drawn away from their cuteness when I feel a tap on my shoulder. Turning I find none other than my long-term crush behind me.
"Roy, hi." I barely make out two words, feeling nervousness bubble up in the pit of my stomach.
"Hi Thea." He looks at me with a nervous smile and I bite my lip as he rubs the back of his neck.
"Uh, I've been meaning to talk to you." His eyes dart away for a second, looking over my shoulder.
"Yeah?" I raise an eyebrow at him, tilting my head I nod for him to continue.
"Uh, Yeah-"He cuts himself off for a moment, "Uh, Did you uh," he stumbles, "did you- get the notes from psychology yesterday?" his question catches me off guard and I feel my heart drop. I feel my face begin to drop, but I quickly mask it with an indifference.
"Uh, yeah of course. I can email them to you after school, is that okay?" I muster up a smile even though I really don't want to.
"Thanks Thea." He smiles and turns to go, but he pauses and seems to rethink something, shaking his fist by his side he turns back with a determined look in his eyes.
"You know what, no. That's not what I really wanted to ask you." He grabs my hand, "Thea, what I've really been wanting to ask you is if you would go to the winter formal with me." He looks up through his lashes at me and I feel my heart swell in happiness as I straighten up a bit. My mouth drops open just a fraction and he bites his lip like I'd been doing earlier.
"Yeah, Yeah. I'd love to." Words flow from my mouth quickly so that he can't change his mind.
His smile takes my breath away and he looks relieved. Before we can continue talking the bell rings and interrupts the moment. People run and push around us, but we continue to hold hands and he walks me to my class. Really sweet since his class is all the way at the other end of the school. I sigh as I slip into my chair, already going through the dresses I have in my mind, picking out the perfect one for Friday.
