I looked away as quickly as I could a blush rising up my face. Did he really just notice me, no not notice, adore me? This must be a dream. I pinch my arm, nope this was reality. I heard a chuckle and to my horror he was standing right in front of my desk. Awkward.
"Hi, my names Jared" he said. As if I didn't already know his name.
"I'm Kim" I said my cheeks felt so warm.
"It's nice to meet you" he said. I couldn't believe this was happening. And then suddenly that look was back in his eyes.
"Do you want to go out with me?" the words rushed out of his mouth as if he were afraid he would chicken out if he didn't say it fast.
"Sure" I said. I couldn't believe this was happening.
"Cool" he said sounding relieved that I said yes.
The conversation probably would have continued but just then my teacher Mr. Ray walked in and said "sorry I'm late everyone please take a seat".
"Can we talk at lunch?" he asked.
"Yeah" I said. Hopefully I'd be able to say more then.
Later at lunch
He sat down across from me and said a simple hello. He was so cute; I never knew he was shy.
"Hi" I said back.
"How are you?" He looked like he really cared. Like it wasn't just something you say for conversations sake.
"Good, you?" I asked.
"Great" he replied. "So about that date" he said.
"I'm free this Friday" it seemed like I was jumping the gun but I wanted to say yes before he changed his mind or realized who he was talking to.
"Cool pick ya up at 8, is that cool?"
"Yeah that's cool, where are we going?"
"How about Port Angeles" he asked, "For dinner and a movie."
"Sounds good"
