Hey guys! I felt kinda bad about that last chapter because it wasn't my best writing and quite boring,frankly. I wanted to do some character development but it lacked in action, so I made some time to write chapter 6 and I've just finished, so I hope you enjoy this next chapter!
Time skip...Next week...Friday.
Humphrey POV
I'm soooo nervous. Today is the day I ask Kare to homecoming! I'm not too worried about her saying yes, I'm almost positive she will since I have the best way to ask her. I decided I would play "Treasure" by Bruno Mars on my soprano sax. I would bring a speaker from home to play the karaoke music in the background, because saxophones always sound better with accompaniment. Anyways, I'll have my sister, Janice distract her while I set up, and once I'm done I'll text her to bring her over to the outside of the music center, which is where I'll be playing. I didn't want to play in the music center because I wanted to be scene by other students, and if I were outside the center it would be easier. The advantage of more students watching me ask is that it makes it harder for her to say no in front of a ton of people. Anyway, as soon as I see Janice and Kate, I'll start playing. That way Kate wouldn't have a clue I'm going to ask her after the song. See, if I start playing right as she walks up, she may think I was waiting for her, and she's smart and may put two and two together and realize what's going on. So if I start a bit before she walks up, She couldn't possibly have the slightest hint on what was about to happen. Then, Ill have my friend Nathan hiding a poster I made that says "Will you be my treasure at homecoming?", and My friend Johnny holding the flowers. I'll have them hide them while I'm playing, and when im done, Johnny will hand me the flowers and Nathan take out the poster and I'll walk up to Kate and hopefully surprise her. So yeah, just can't wait until then. Ugh I still have 2 more classes to get through.
Kate POV
I only have five Minutes left of class before I'm done with school for today. My last class got cancelled, so I can leave early, but Janice and Lilly want me to take them to Starbucks. Oh well, I'll come back to school after that so I can watch the football game. Oh, there's the bell! Sick, another weekend. I just have to find Janice and Lilly, who are going to skip class, but I really couldn't care less, they do better than more than half of the students in their classes on everything,so I'm sure they'll catch up on their work pretty fast.
I walked into the halls and out into the plaza, where I saw Lilly and Janice waiting for me. They wagged their tails as I approached.
"Ready to go?" Asked Janice
"Yeah we better hurry before anyone notices we are supposed to be in class," Lilly added.
I looked at her, still not understanding why my sister would skip class for Starbucks. Come to think of it, her last class is English, and she likes that class quite a bit. Oh well.
"Sure, let's go," I said as we began walking off campus. Starbucks was about a five minute walk, we were pretty lucky to be in a school so close to a Starbucks.
As we arrived at the Starbucks, the smell of caramel and coffee beans arrived. I walked into the line followed by Lilly and Janice. The line was short, only one person was in front of us, and as he finished, I walked up and the lady asked what I wanted.
"I'll have a caramel laté please," I asked. The lady smiled and said, "Sure thing," She flipped around and began making the drink. She looked nice, she had brown fur and green eyes. Her brown fur was very straight, like mine. She had nice ears too, not too pointy, not too stubby.
"Here you go!" She said.
"Thanks!" I quickly smiled at her and grabbed my drink from the smooth marble counter.
"and what would you two like?" she asked Lilly and Janice, who giggled, and I realized they must have found her attractive, you know since their both bi. (Bisexual). The wolf behind that counter looked to be about 17, so she was really young to be working instead of in school. Anyway, the girl smiles back as they said they would like the same thing I ordered.
As we walked out of the Starbucks and down the street back to school, I looked at my watch and it read 2:30, which meant Humphrey would be getting out of school soon. I smiled at the thought of him. I hoped he could hang out this weekend. He's really cute and funny. As we walked back on campus, Janice and Lilly asked if I would go to the lockers with them. It was 2:33 so I said ok.
Humphreys POV
My English teacher was nice enough to let me out two minutes early so I could set up for my proposal. I got text from my friend Johnny that said 'hurry the fuck up!' I began to jog to the music center and saw my friend Nathan and Johnny were there. Johnny had already gotten everything out and the speaker set up since he was in Kate's class and it was cancelled. I ran over and assembled my sax and opened the karaoke to 'treasure' on my phone and plugged it in the the speaker. I saw Nathan and Johnny were in position hiding the flowers and poster, so I sent a text to Janice and told her I was ready.
A few minutes later, I saw Kate about 400 feet away and hit play on the karaoke, going with my plan to start before she got here. When she arrived, she was smiling and a good 50 other students were listening, making a semi circle in front of me, with the wall behind me. I played through the song and got to the end where I did an awesome improv solo. I was playing really well, and so loud that I was over powering the speaker, so all you could hear was my sax. My math teacher, Mr. Doris, threw a dollar on the ground and started filming. He was a good trumpet player and loved music. Then, other students threw money on the ground too, I had twenty Bucks before I knew it. When I finished, there was a good hundred kids screaming and asking to play another song. I legit nailed it! My friend Nathan walked out with the poster and Johnny handed me the flowers. The crowd began screaming as I walked toward Kate, who was starting to understand what was going on, and she was blushing madly. Then the crowd went nuts. And I mean NUTS! They were screaming super loud as I looked Kate in her beautiful eyes and asked
"Will you go to homecoming with me?"
She smiled even bigger and gave me a huge hug and said, "Yes!"
The crowed awwed and screamed as they were as excited as I was. Kids were screaming you killed it! And Damn you're good! I was so happy! And then everyone started chanting "kiss her! Kiss her! Kiss her!"
I looked at her and kind of shook my head, I didn't want to do anything she didn't. But I gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, and she turned and smiling at me and gave me another hug. The crowd awwed, some were a bit disappointed I didn't kiss her properly, but i didn't think she would have appreciated it.
As the crowd started to disperse, I grabbed her paw and said, "Thanks for saying yes, it meant a lot to me," she turned and said,
"Humphrey, what you did meant so much more to me," she said, as she hugged me again.
As we loosened the embrace, I looked into her beautiful eyes and she looked into mine, she looked so beautiful. The most perfect wolf ever. Then she leaned forward and gave me a quick kiss on the lips. I was a bit surprised, and she blushed, and I said,
"Kate, I've been wanting to tell you this for A while but...I love you. More than anything,"
Kate developed a tear in her eye which I wiped away, and I looked behind her and saw Lilly and Janice smiling too. Kate looked up to me and said,
"Humphrey, I' r been thinking about you ever since the year started, I know it's only been a couple months, but...I love you too!"
We both smiled as tears of joy formed on both of our eyes as we pyelled each other into a long kiss. A kiss of love.
Alright guys, that's it! I think this turned out better than last chapter, and I hope you all agree. The funniest thing is that the way Humphrey asked Kate to homecoming was how I asked my girlfriend to homecoming! This was a while ago though. But anyway, One of my friends actually got the last bit of it on video! So if you want to see what it really looked like when Humphrey asked Kate, just message me through a pm or review on any of these chapters, and I'll send it your way! I will see if I can find the full version! Thanks for reading, and as always, feel free to pm me or review if you have anything to say. Hope you all liked this, See you all next chapter!
Oh and special thanks to:
