CHAPTER 25: BYE BOYFRIEND

Pink rose petals littered on the floor, a love song by the Acapella Boys (a club of nerds great singing voices), other students in the hallway. Ashley, Brett and Sadie had been helping me plan this. I was going to ask Meghan to be my girlfriend.

'Everything's set!!' Sadie clapped in excitement.

'Meghan's in class. I'll go get her.' Brett rushed off.

'Okay, thanks,' I smiled, or at least I tried to. I was nervous as hell!

'They're coming,' Ash said as soon as Meghan and Brett were in sight, thirty seconds later. They walked casually, so that meant Brett hadn't said anything.

'What's going on?' Meghan asked as she observed the hallway. I hope she liked it. Ashley convinced me she would.

'Hey,' I said trying to get my act together. Thirty seconds wasn't enough!

'Hi,' she chuckled.

'Meghan…' I said revealing the red rose I was hiding at my back.

'You've been a really great friend and you've helped me get through a lot of personal struggles the last couple of months. I've grown to really like you, as in like-like you and I'm asking you to be my girlfriend,' I said with all the courage I could muster. I was filled with anxiety and fear that she would say no.

Sh*t! My palms were sweaty. She was smiling but she hadn't said a word. What if she said no? Now I was filled with regret. I skimmed at the floor, the petals and the flower in my palms. People were staring at me.

'My life is over.' I thought conclusively.

'Yes,' Meghan said, walking towards me.

'Yes, I wanna be your girlfriend,' she said before crashing her lips into his. Mike's head was spinning, everything was going great!

Meghan was…overwhelmed with bliss. Her whole was spinning, but it spun at her pace. She had been waiting for Mike to ask her out, however with the recent turn of events, it just didn't seem like it was ever going to happen. She was truly surprised. She knew that Mike had a crush on Sadie and she wasn't sure if those feelings had died. Also she had a lot of skeletons in her cupboard, secrets she wasn't sure she wanted to let him in on.

She released his lips on impulse when she heard the clicks of cameras.

Oh no!

They were in the hallway! A lot of people were watching and some were taking pictures or making videos. How was she going to leave here without ruining the moment?

*Bell

The bell rang and the hall instantly became empty as students ran to various classes.

'Saved by the bell, cliché,' she thought as she stared into the beautiful brown eyes in front of her.

'I think I have a class now. Talk later?' she smiled.

'Yeah, bye girlfriend,' Mike smiled taking, a step back.

'Bye boyfriend,' she replied grinning from ear to ear as she turned to leave.
