Tasha's POV
I woke up to the sound of my blaring alarm and rolled over to feel that Kaleb was still in bed. I looked over at him and couldn't help but smile. He does not realize how happy he makes me feel. I rolled out of bed and grabbed my clothes for the day that included, black leggings, a random tank top and a hoodie that was Kaleb's. I went into the bathroom and bushed through my hair and braided it into a tight side braid. Just as I finished putting the hair tie at the end of the braid I felt Kaleb snake his arms around my waist. I couldn't help but melt into his embrace and Felt that he was still bare chested. I smiled to myself and felt myself blush. I checked the time and said "Kaleb you need to get dressed!" I walked out of the bathroom and made a quick to go breakfast that was to go, which was a to go smoothie with a banana. Kaleb walked out just as I finished the last one and snatched the banana from my hand with a smirk and a chuckle. I looked at him and saw that he was wearing a "Music Man" t-shirt and jeans and boots. I cant help but smile at him and turn away because he like always looked amazing.
We headed to the truck and he looked at me while slurping on his smoothie and said "What are you smiling at?" I saw the playfulness meet his beautiful blue eyes and just smiled and said "You. Duh". With that we headed to hell, I mean school. The ride to school was quiet between the both of us as we ate and listened to music, once we arrived we just acted as if everything was normal and like nothing had been said yesterday. We walked in and I could tell by the way he was acting that he was nervous but I decided to just roll with it. I headed to my class and just was ready for hell to began.
Kaleb's POV
I knew that Tasha could sense me acting weird but I was doing my best to hide it. I was going to give her the surprise of a lifetime, well in high school terms. I had this big surprise that was going to blow her whole mind and I know she doesn't even see it coming. I was going to ask her to homecoming and to be my girlfriend all in one day. Even if I don't even enjoy being in the spot light today is an exception just for her. I know the exact face I'll get from her too, blushing and smiling and trying to hide all of it. I go to my first class and I look at the clock bouncing my foot and glanced at the clock, only 3 more hours because this was happening 10:30. I had planned to do this major thing in her class that I knew she would not be expecting it. I planned in doing this serenade type thing which I haven't sung since I left in August but I'd been practicing while she had been gone and I finally got the balls to do it. I was going to serenade her with one of our songs from the playlist we created awhile back, Writings on the Wall, along with some of the choir guys who I had told what was going on. I was going to have one of the guys who was backing me to bring in a sign that says "I don't dance but here I am asking you to teach me at homecoming?" Then at the end of the song I'll end on my knees handing her a rose that also has a small note attached saying "Will you be my girlfriend?"
After the bell rang I thought to myself "Just another hour" over and over again. I cannot believe I am actually going to do this today. As I get settled into my math class I just zoned and hoped and prayed that this goes well, like really well. I zoned out in my math class because honestly it is just extremely boring and I ate my math. As I head to my next class my heart is beating so much I fear that every single person can hear it. I head into the choir room and make sure that everything is ready I find the rose and the poster is all set. I find the guys that know and we head slowly to her classroom which is English.
I walked in and made eye contact with the teacher she already knew what was going on and I smirked. I could feel Tasha's eyes on me but at this moment I was trying to not to freak out because the class room was so full. I gave the teacher the look and the accompaniment started for the song and as I started I felt my palms get sweaty. The guys came in and ushered Tasha to the front and sat her down on the stool right at the front. I could tell as I sang that she had absolutely no idea what was going on and in my head I was doing my victory dance. As the song came to a close Brian walked out and grabbed my sign and handed it me still facing away from her and as I hit the ending not I flipped it around and I saw the exact look I had pictured getting, she was blushing and trying to hide to and she had an ear to ear grin that she was also trying to hide as well. I moved towards her handing the sign back to Brian and stood right in front of her and said, "What do you say?" She looked at me in the eyes and said, "Yes I'll go with you!" She hopped off the stool and engulfed me in a humongous hug and I pulled her in closer not caring that the classroom was full and everyone was staring because they all recognized me finally. When she pulled away I got the rose out of my back pocket and got down on my knees and handed it to her with the note facing her, I saw her hand go to her mouth. I saw her eyes scan the note and saw her do a double take to the note and then a huge smile plastered across her face she pulled me up and said, "Kaleb!! Yes! Yes I'll be your girlfriend!!" I pulled her into a hug with the rose still in her hand and couldn't help but smile as I hugged her. I couldn't believe that I actually pulled it off. I had actually done it and my voice didn't crack or anything and I couldn't help but chuckle. We pulled away and I still had this giant grin on my face and I said, "Okay, I've got to get back to choir I'll see you at lunch" I kissed her forehead and started to walk away and felt her hand slowly let go of mine as I turned and left. I gave her one more smirk and went to choir.
I told the guys to go on without me and I waited back for a beat and made sure they were walking away and I did my victory dance and whispered to myself "I did it! YES!!". I did a quick glance around and saw Tasha was standing right outside the door of the classroom I had came out of not to long ago and I felt my cheeks pink up and I looked at her and said, "Uhhhh how much of that did you see?" She looked at me and giggled and said, "Well from the about here" and she demonstrated the beginning of my victory dance and I mentally face palmed myself for not thinking she'd come out behind us to just talk to me off anything really. I had figured that she would've just sat there and thought about what had just happened. She pulled me out of my own thoughts by grabbing my hand with her own. I blinked quickly and pulled her into a hug and just held her there for a few beats. I pulled away and looked at her and I knew I looked like a goofy ass idiot but I didn't care. I grabbed both of her hands and just looked at her and just smiled. Looked at her for one more beat and slowly pulled away slowly separating our hands until it was just our fingertips and headed back to my class.
Tasha's POV
I can not believe that I am actually dating my best friend. He is so sweet and kind and just amazing. I can't believe I actually agreed to go to a school dance. That's a first for me and I'm just honestly excited. We have a few weeks for me to find a dress and everything ad this is just honestly going to be the most exiting thing that has happened to me in a long time. This just makes me happier then I have been in a truly long time.
