Chapter 6, part 1

I woke with a different feeling inside of me. I felt more confident than usual. I knew from the moment I opened my eyes, that was the day that I was to ask Marik out. As soon as I was all fresh and ready I raced out the door and rode my bike to his house. I’d never been there before there before. I knocked on the door and he opened it straight away. I’d never seen him in casual wear. He was gorgeous. A small draft blew is hair across his face and I automatically blushed. “Yes?” He asked. He sounded sort of impatient. “I uh” I cleared my thought. “I was just wondering. If. You would be my boyfriend.” It all came out so fast. I swore I was going to faint from embarrassment. His impatient look disappeared and he smiled and said “if that is what to you wish.” Then he closed the door. I felt a wave of relief wash over me. I couldn’t help but sing merrily the whole way home. I felt so happy.
