It is the day after Nathan and Luke's after school dates with Michelle and Lauren. Michelle and Lauren are at home before school.
Michelle-Lauren I have a question.
Lauren-Shoot.
Michelle-Well you know how I have that field hockey tournament in Michigan this weekend, well do you think I should ask Nathan? Or would it be too soon? I mean he seemed really interested in the game.
Lauren-I would go for it. You have nothing to lose.
Michelle-Well I should probably ask him today. Plus I am going to North's Prom on Saturday night. He could come as my date and meet all of my friends.
Lauren-I think he would go. Or at least I hope he does. It would be fun and a great way to get to know him.
The girls leave for school. When they arrive, Lauren goes off to her locker so she can finish her math from the night before. Michelle stops at the little coffee stand by the parking lot and buys a coffee. Nathan walks up behind her and pays for her coffee.
Nathan-It's the least I could do for you spending time trying to teach me how to play field hockey.
Michelle-Thanks. Nathan, I was wondering…
Nathan-Yes?
They start walking towards the building. And Michelle gets really nervous, she doesn't have a problem talking to boys but she is asking him out. It's usually the other way around and she doesn't usually have to deal with it.
Michelle-Well, I have a field hockey tournament in Michigan this weekend and…
Nathan-I would love to!
Michelle-You would? I didn't think you would want to come. I didn't even get done asking you.
Nathan-I would love to spend more time with you.
Michelle-well there is one more thing. We are probably going to have to go to my old high schools prom.
Nathan-That's fine. Is anyone else in your family going?
Michelle-Nope, just me and you I guess. Is that cool?
Nathan-Yeah. How are we going to get there?
Michelle-We are flying is that cool?
Nathan-Uhhh well I'm afraid of flying but I think it will be better because I will be with you.
Surprisingly Michelle didn't care how cheesy that sounded. She liked the sound of her and Nathan together!
Michelle-Okay well the flight leaves at 3:30 Friday afternoon. We can leave straight from school.
Nathan-Sounds good. Well I better go! See you later!
Nathan pecks her on the cheek and dashes off to class. Michelle feels her knees weaken and she grabs the bench to help her steady herself. Its only Tuesday and Friday seems so far away! How will she survive?
Lauren walks to her locker and is surprised to see a pink gerbera daisy on her locker door with a little note attached. She had no idea who it could be from. And how did they know it was her favorite flower? The note read:
Meet me on the pier at 7pm tomorrow night…
She was a little scared but suddenly realized it was Jake. She couldn't wait! Jake came from around the corner, and walked up to her.
Jake-So will I see you tomorrow?
Lauren-How did you know?
Jake-What?
Lauren-The flower…
Jake-Oh, I didn't. It just reminded me of you. I don't know how it just caught my eye.
Lauren-It's my favorite kind! And the way to my heart is through flowers.
Jake-I guess I lucked out.
Lauren-Yeah, I did too.
They were both so excited to see each other the next night.
