In the end, Charlotte agreed to let me just ask him out on an innocent movie screening to "Big Hero Six".

"Okay, but ask him by the end of the week," Charlotte instructed.

"'Kaykay, mom," I said sarcastically. She smirked at me, and we walked to History together.

***

I tried to ask him during rehearsals, but Mrs. Velasquez kept calling him over to teach him the harmonies for "You Can't Stop the Beat".

I tried asking him via note during science, but I got caught. Luckily, Mr. Liu didn't read it out loud.

I kept on trying and trying and trying, kept failing.

"UGHHHHH," I groaned.

"What's wrong, Candie?" Charlotte asked.

"I'm never gonna be able to ask him," I muttered.

"Yes you will, you're cool and confident Candie."

"Ughh. No I'm not. Not cool. Not confident."

"Yes you are."

"No I'm not. Lead in the play: coincidence. Being friends with you guys: just by chance."

"Oh well! Just freaking ask him."

"Urgh, fine. I'll ask him on Friday. It's not that busy."

***

I walked up to him at his locker. He looks so cute..., I thought. He was wearing a red and blue rugby t-shirt with a grey hood.

"Hey, Candie!" he greeted with that cute little grin he made whenever he saw me. "What's up?"

"Oh... nothing," I replied shyly. I looked down at my turquoise BOBs. "I just wanted to ask... do you wanna maybe... see 'Big Hero Six' with me tonight? If you don't have plans? I mean, you don't have to go. It won't hurt my feelings at all." I felt all the blood rush to my cheeks. Oh God. I feel like an idiot right now., I thought.

"Um... sorry, Candie," he said. "I already have plans to go on a dinner date with someone else."

*A/N: OH MY GOD!!! I FINALLY WROTE THIS CHAPTER!!!! First of all: I am REALLY sorry for writing this. (oh God. here comes all the comments that say, "WHY YOU SHIPPED HANDIE TOO WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY") But... a good plot twist never hurt anyone! Just their feels. Anyway, see you all on instagram and the next chapter!
