Since my birthday is coming up, I'm at the mall with Jasper and this girl named Rose. I don't know her that well but Jasper introduced me to her last week. She's pretty nice. I think Jasper trying to make his move on her but he's too much of a punk to do it.

Anyways, we went around the mall a little and we bought some stuff. Rose bought something huge and won't tell me what it is but its whatever. Now, we all want a snack so we're at Starbucks. I just want a muffin but Rose wants a coffee and Jasper 'surprisingly' wants the same thing as her. I hope this doesn't turn into a third wheeling trip when it's about to be my birthday.

We have our food and we eat and drink and talk and all that jazz. Then, Jasper and Rose start getting weird and whispering in each others ears and I'm getting uncomfortable. Then, they both stand up and put the huge bag on the table that Rose wouldn't tell me about and pull a brand new skateboard.

"Happy Birthday!" Jasper and Rose say in unison.

"Wow! Thanks Jasper, it's just what I wanted!" I say surprised.

I walked up to Jasper and give him a big hug.

"I picked it out and Rose paid for it so I can't take all the credit," Jasper admits.

"Thank you Rose!!!" I say.

I walk up to her and give a big hug and spin her around. I can't believe she would spend her money on someone she barely knows. But her family is kinda rich but I don't care.

Then, I hear someone crying. It sounds so familiar. I put Rose down and look outside of Starbucks to see Charlotte crying. We meet each other eyes and then Charlotte starts running away. I don't why she's so upset. What would be making her cry?

I run after her and god does she run fast with those little legs of hers. I finally catch up to her and grab her by her forearm and turn her to face me.

"Why are you crying Char?" I ask.

"Why do you care? Why don't go back to Starbucks with your new girlfriend?" she asks.

"What are you...? Ohhhh," I say finally understanding.

"Yeah so why don't you?" she snaps.

"You saw me hugging that girl. That's not my girlfriend, if anything it's Jasper's," I say.

"Then why did you...?"

"The question is why are YOU worried about it?"

"I mean..."

"So you were jealous?"

"Well..."

"I thought you were with Dustin still," I say confused.

"I broke up with him okay!" she confesses.

"So you do like me? I thought you were over me."

"I do like you..."

"Why didn't you tell me this before?"

"I didn't want to be rejected because it seems like you've moved on and don't like me anymore," she admits.

"Sounds kinda familiar. Doesn't it?"

"I know I rejected you before but I just thought our relationship would last longer if we were just friends," she says.

"And how's that working out for you?"

"Not too good to be honest," she says sheepishly.

"So let me get this straight. You like me. So you dumped Dustin for me. You saw me hugging someone else. You got hurt because you thought she was my girlfriend. And that's why you were crying? Is that right?" I ask trying to clarify.

"Yes..."

"Okay."

"Okay what?" she asks.

"Okay."

"Are you serious right now? You just made me admit to liking you and all you have to say is 'Okay'?"

"Okay. Meaning, I knew it and that's okay."

"You knew that I still liked you?"

"I thought you moved on but when you talking to me in social studies, it was kinda obvious that you were talking about yourself instead of 'a girl'," I say with pride.

"How did you know I wasn't interested in some other guy and not you?"

"Because you would've brought that guy up in conversations and stuff like that. And you haven't even been talking about Dustin in conversations lately so it has to be me." I say confidently.

"And you were completely sure?"

"Yeah..."

I pull her in closer to me and wipe her tears. I pull her in closer but she pulls away from me.

"Fuck you Henry," she says.

"Not in the mall! What's wrong with you?"

"Shut up," she demands.

"You know you want it."

"Oh don't flatter yourself," she says annoyed.

"Whatever. You're the one that thought I had a girlfriend. I think you're the one that's flattering me."

"So conceited for a guy whose girl is ten times hotter than he is," she says.

"You're my girl?"

"I didn't say that," she says backing away.

"Yes you did. I heard you loud and clear."

"You're deaf!"

"You're denial!"

I grab her by her waist and pull her in for a kiss. She pushes me away for a moment. Then, she moves in closer again and slowly presses her lips softly against mine. She stops again realizing where she's at and that Justice is waiting for her at Chipotle.

"I gotta go meet back up with Justice. I'm sorry." she says as she walks away.

"Wait!"

I walk up to her and grab her hand.

"I'll come with you. Justice will be the first one to know about us. That's if there is an us, right?" I say.

"Right," she confirms while we walk back to Chipotle together.

(Later at Chipotle)

"So y'all official now?" Justice asks.

"Yeah," me and Charlotte say in unison.

"Awww shit! Y'all too cute. Girl, now I need a man," Justice protests.

"Thanks girl. But I think we're gonna go. Is that okay?" Charlotte asks.

"Go head girl. I don't wanna be a third wheel anyways," Justice says.

"Bye!!!" Charlotte and I say together.

We walk, talk, shop and play around the mall for hours. I forgot how much fun I had with Char. Especially, when I'm not hiding something. I realized how comfortable I am around her. I love her and I think she loves me. I'll never forget this day. The day I became hers and she became mine.
