**ARIEL'S POINT OF VIEW**
"Good morning everyone!" I called to my friends as I got out of my car.
"It is!" Claire told me, they had been dating for about a week now.
"Why are you so excited, Claire."
"Oh, no reason." I knew she was lying... she's been hiding something BIG since her and James went on their first date. I've picked at it, but I never got anything from her. It annoyed the crud out of me, but I did my best to forget it.
"If you say so," I'd ask about it later, I HAD to get it out of her. In English I scribbled a note and passed it her way. It wasn't hard to do considering we had seats right next to each other. By the end it looked a little like this...
Me: Claire, what have you been hiding? Yeah, I can tell and it's making me insane.
Claire: I can't tell you...
M: Why not?
C: I promised...
M: Who did you promise?
C: James......
M: Well, can you say yes or no?
C: Ariel...
M: PLEASE, it's eating me alive.
C: Fineee.
M: Does it have to do with me?
C: Yes
M: Ok, is it something I did?
C: No
M: Does it have anything to do with -
As I was writing that last line the bell rang.
"Let's finish this at lunch... be prepared I'm gonna move fast!"
"Ok," I answered. Lunch rolled around after hours, it felt, and just as Claire promised she pulled me around faster than the speed of lightning.
"Ok, let's talk out loud before they get here... but keep your voice down."
"Ok, like I was saying, does it have to do with Blake?"
She nodded and smiled... I was a little confused at first and I then realized what was going on.
"He likes me?"
"Yeah!!! And there's more, but I won't even say yes or no to that part."
"OH MY GOD!!!!" I shouted loud enough the whole school heard me... "Oops. Why can't you say yes or no?"
"It would be more fun if he said it."
"Oh ok, fine.... When will he?"
She nodded toward the incoming boys trying so hard to hear what we were saying... obviously they heard me scream. I acted as I had before I knew so they would have no idea.
"What's going on over here, ladies?" James asked.
"Nothing" I answered bored.
"What were you screaming for then?"
"Oh, just cheer gossip." Lunch went on as it usually did and ended in the call of the bell. Blake walked with me to history.
"So, uh, how are you?"
"I'm fine. Thanks. How are you?"
"Pretty good." That was different from his normal answer, I wondered what he was thinking about.
"Oh, good," We walked a few steps side by side, he touched my hand like he was going to hold it, but pulled it back. He was unsure, it felt, about whether or not he should. We walked a ways more and he slipped his hand into mine. When our fingers interlocked and I didn't pull away from it, he looked up and smiled. We walked the rest of the way there like that.
**BLAKE'S POINT OF VIEW**
Once we got to out seats I had to let go, but it wasn't without an insane struggle. I regretfully did let go, however. She seemed like she didn't want me to let go either. That made my decision. I had been debating over it for weeks. I didn't want her to turn me down; I knew that very well. I was going to ask her out by the end of the day.
**ARIEL'S POINT OF VIEW**
He was acting so strangely after holding my hand on the way to history... I couldn't stop thinking about it, and by Spanish it was killing me to not know what was running through his mind. The bell rang and I got out of that school so fast it I was the first one in the parking lot.
"Hey, Ariel! Will you come here really quick?"
"Sure,"
"I, umm, can I ask you something?"
"Yeah, go ahead."
"Umm, you want to go out some time? I mean just me and you. No one else?"
"Of course! I'd like that a lot." I was keeping it cool on the outside, but on the inside I was jumping up and down like a mad person. I was so excited I could barely breathe.
"Is tomorrow ok?"
"Sure."
"Ok, I'll pick you up around 6? Or do you want to drive, cuz that's ok too." I could tell he was nervous. It was cute.
"No, no, it's ok, you can come pick me up if you want to."
"Ok, I will pick you up after school tomorrow around 5."
"Ok, sounds good. That gives me time to do my homework!"
"Good. I will talk to you later."
"Yep. Bye." I smiled giving him a hug
"Bye."
