Date Proposal?

Kayla's P.O.V

It's nice out today. Clear skies and warm air. It hasn't rained in a while so my flowers need a drink. Setting my portable speaker down, I hook it up to my phone and play my 90s R&B Radio on Pandora. Jagged Edge's song " I Gotta Be" started to play. The song Jacob sung yesterday. He did his thing. I never thought the captain of the basketball team could get down like he did, but i was clearly mistaken. After the performances were all over he came looking for me. He said my voice was perfect and that he could listen to me sing all day. I was speechless all I could do was look stupid. But even so he smiled at me the whole time.... Until Lucas came over interrupting. Probably on purpose. I made a mental note to ask him why he wanted to talk to me about the song I sung. As I'm watering the daisies, I get into the music and start singing. Not paying attention, I don't hear someone coming up behind me. Something taps me on my shoulder and I scream throwing my water kettle into the air. All the water comes down on me but I manage to dodge the kettle.
" Shorty it's just me", Lucas says before he busts out laughing. I turn around slowly and give him the evilest look i can.
" Don't ever sneak up on me like that ever. Thats how niggas like you lives get ended." He looked scared. Good.
" Lil dude, that lil look not scarin me", he said and bust out laughing.
" Good try though shorty". I roll my eyes and look down at myself. My clothes and hair are soaked. Its always something. I look back up at Lucas and he's staring at me.
" What?"
" Nice pajamas shorty", he says and smirks. I forgot I came outside with my spongebob PJ's on. Man I always find a way to embarrass myself.
" So what do you want sir?"
" Uh I was wondering if you wanna go out with me and the boys for a little bit. It doesn't matter where we go," he says while he scratches his head. I'm shocked. He wants me to hang.... with him.... in public? He must have seen the lost look on my face so he said.
" Aye shorty you good?"
" Umm you want to hang with me?"
" Yeah, since we have to be together at school and plus your my neighbor it would make sense to be better acquainted", he smirks a little. I've never really hung out with a group. It's always been me. Alone. What if I embarrass him. What if... Lucas snaps me out of my train of thought.
" Kayla?" The way he says my name catches me off guard. I don't know what it is but it makes me feel.... something. I can't put my finger on it.
" Ummm yeah sure... I ... I mean I..."
" It's a date then lil ma, be ready in a hour and don't take all day because I will come and get you. Ready or not", he says as he walks back across the street. As I grab my portable speaker and open my front door I finally catch on to what he said. " It's a date then lil ma". My heart skips a beat. DATE? No it couldn't be. Plus Armon and Trey are coming too; I'll probably hit up Taylor later to invite her as well. I smirk. Lucas is just playing around too much. I shouldn't worry too much about. Who would really want to go on a date with me? Shoot I wouldn't even want to go on a date with myself. I walk upstairs into my room and dig through my closet. What should I wear? This is too much. Sliding down to the floor I place my head in my hands. Why? Why Lord? Why Now? I feel a tear slide down my cheek. I don't know why I'm crying. The flashback of Lucas asking me to hang with him plays back in my mind. He looked so sincere. Like he actually wants to get to know me. But I can't trust him. Especially when I know almost nothing about him. Getting me to hang out with him and his friends just might be a set up to humiliate me. I'm going to just text him to cancel right now. He ain't fooling me. But now all of a sudden I'm extra tired. My eyes won't stay open. What's wrong with me?....
