Chapter 3.
"Listen. Grubbs. You don't have to worry. We all have embarrassing moments," reassured Grubbs's friend, Bill-E Spleen. Grubbs still wouldn't speak. He was still sat in the canteen, but everyone else had gone. It was just him and his friend. Finally, Grubbs spoke, but it just came out as a whisper.
"I know, but now I've ruined everything. She's gonna hate me forever now."
"Oh no she wont," replied Bill-E enthusiastically.
"OK, look mate, I'll go talk to her."
No more than two minutes later, Bill-E walked back in with Melissa, who was smiling pitifully.
"Oh Grubbs. You don't need to be embarrassed. The truth is… I like you too."
"You do?" Grubbs asked unbelievably.
"Yeah," came the reply.
"I think you two should go out!" Bill-E said teasingly.
"Shut up Bill-E!" Shouted Grubbs.
"NO! I agree. We should go out." Melissa said confidently.
"Really?!" Grubbs said with disbelief.
"Yeah."
"OK. Will you go out with me?" Grubbs questioned desperately.
"Yes!" squealed Melissa with delight. The two hugged each other. Then, Grubbs invited her round his house that night. But, Grubbs didn't know that by doing this, he was making the biggest mistake of his life.
