It was the first day back at school. The start of grade 12. As I walked through the corridors I saw all the familiar faces. My best friend Neisha was waiting for me by our lockers.

"Hey Ashlee, how was your holiday?"

"Pretty good".

"Are you going to do it this year?"

"Do what?" I said confused.

"ask Louis out! "She replied winking at me.

There was this boy named Louis Tomlinson in our grade and I'd had a massive crush on him since grade 8. He's always in heaps of my classes and I've talked to him but that's it. It's my last year and my last chance to ask him out. I was going to do it no matter what it took.

"Yea of course I am" I replied with fake confidence.

"Oh my god, there he is!" I turned around and saw the gorgeous Louis walking down the corridor toward me. His hair was perfectly tousled and his eyes were a beautiful blue-green. I quickly started fixing my hair before he reached me.

"Hey Louis" I said with a big smile.

"Oh hey Ashlee. It's good to see you again. You look nice today" he said as he stopped in front of me. "Hey have you seen Harry?".

"Yea, he's over by the bubblers with Lauren". Lauren was Harry's girlfriend. They'd be going out for 2 years now and they were the schools it couple.

"Thanks. I'll see you later" and he walked off.

"He's totally into you!" Neisha exclaimed when he'd gone.

"How do you know?"

"You could tell by the way he was looking at you and he said you looked good".

"You really think so?" I said excitedly. The bell rang before Neisha got to answer and two periods of torture began before I could talk to Louis.
