Elena's POV:
It's been a weeks now that I've been going out to the small restaurant near my school. Funny thing is Chris is always around. Every week he'd ask me, "Hey, Do you wanna go out?" And I always say yes even though I don't want to. Is it probably because I like him? Nah. We're just very close friends, right?

"Ugh! English class, whyyyyy!!!!" Chris laughs and walks with me through the hallways towards English Class. "Don't be such a buzzkill, it won't be that bad." "And why is that?" I asked enthusiastically. "Because we are going out in 30 minutes since the periods are short today and it is our last period." He smiled at me with a quick wink. "Alright, alright, alright. Fine but no funny tings happening." I walked ahead of him to get inside the class.
5 minutes before the end of school. Chris sat behind me and whispered close to my ear like I was about to be tickled AGAIN, "Meet me at the top gate when bell rings." I looked back and gave him a smile. There stood Professor P standing in front of class right before the bell rang. "Um..class don't forget your project is due on Monday...

"...and I don't want any last minute projects!"
Ran through the walkway full of crowded people trying to get to my locker. Around the corner, I saw Amy but she is with her 'boyfriend' AGAIN! I'm tired of seeing them together all the time. It's like she never has time for me anymore. But it's fine I got other friends to be with and Chris, if I am a friend to him, I think.
Opened my locker took all the books I needed to study and do homework. Took out unnecessary things out my bag. Once I was finished, I quickly went to the bathroom before people start to cue to use it. Fix myself up, making sure I wasn't looking crusty and left.
As soon I was with him, I noticed the squad wasn't around. "Hey, where's squad?" "Oh um...they left so I didn't want you to walk alone." He said with an awkward smile. I felt like he was lying but didn't wanna interogate him, as yet. "Okayyy, let's start walking then." I said.
Along the way to the restaurant called Italiano Rebel's Pizza we talked a bit more about our personalities since we ignored each other most of the time until these recent months. I was still curious about what he was up to but I think he knows that I'm investigating.
He looked at me and chuckled, "Relax, this is harmless." I looked at him eye to eye, "Really, well I don't see squad around here?" He looks away after less than a minute, "Okay you got me." I knew it. "It's just I'm hungry for Pizza and I don't like walking alone." he said. I laughed a little but didn't understand why ask me to come with.
We got inside and our waitress handed us the menu. "Afternoon guys, my name is Lizzie and I'll be taking your order. What would you like to have?" With her warm smile.
She looked at Chris at the corner of her eye, I could see that she interests him. Bitch not when I'm here.
I coughed, "Um...I would like to order Chicken and Pineapple with Oreo milkshake, Chris?" "Oh yeah, I would like a Chillironi with Sprite. Thank you." She nods and walks away.
"Soo how's your day been?" He scooched closer to the table. Great. "As long as I'm away from home." I smiled. Our orders came in and stayed for hours. "You still haven't told me why you picked me." Playing with the straw and sipping my second milkshake.
He smiled and looked down.
Chris POV:
How can I break this deal? I don't wanna hurt her feelings else she'll never talk to me again. But I actually like her though. Like for real now. Just keep your head up and smile.
"Do you realllyyyy wanna know, huh?" She sat upright and nodded. "I like you because..." Her eyes widened as she stopped sipping. "...you're nice, funny... Weird when you happy, cute when you annoyed."
FOCUS!
Cleared my throat, "Um yeah... that's it." I have lost my mind. You basically led her on. I'm such an idiot. "Thanks, never thought you'd say that." She smirked, smiling from ear to ear. Funny enough she even wiggle her ear, I ended up laughing.
"I think it's time that we should head back." I stood up taking her hand, she stares at me and pouts with those puppy dog eyes, "nooo, I don't wanna go." She makes me go nuts when she's childish.
I gave her a piggy back ride and walked back. We were quiet. Probably because we're tired. "Elena, I wanna
ask?" She lies her head on my shoulder "Hmm?" I sighed nervously, I can't do this anymore. "Have you ever thought of yourself being my girlfriend, like as in official?" She woke up like a bed spring. "WHAT?"
