Ok McKinley, I thought to myself. You got this.
I held up a bouquet of flowers. I was going to give them to Aly and ask her out on a date.
I took a deep breath in and out. Then I began to walk up to Aly.
"Um, Aly?" I asked. She turned around.
"Why are you holding up flowers?" she asked as she raised an eyebrow, eyeing the flowers.
"I, um.." my voice trailed off.
"I was hoping you'd date me." I managed an awkward smile. "So do you accept?"
Please do, I prayed.
"Okay, then." I realized that was Aly.
"Y-you accept?" I half-expected her not to.
"Yes." She leaned in. "Promise me my parents won't kill me if they find out."
"Alright then." I linked my arm with hers and took her to the Comestibule.
"Where are we going?" she asked.
"You'll see." I smiled, hoping to look good.
I just hoped this turned out well for both of us.
