I just couldn’t do it.

“You have to,” Jess hissed, prodding me irritably. Her patience was about evaporated. I supposed I couldn’t blame her; I’d been debating whether to do this all week, and she was understandably sick of it.

“Don’t poke me.”

“Kay, he’s right there. Go! Go!”

I inched over to where Jakob stood, talking, grinning. Jeez, he was cute. My heart hammered in my chest. I couldn’t do this. I just couldn’t.

“Jakob?”

He turned around and grinned at me, a little nervously. His friends vanished. “Hi, Kayla.”

“Do you, um…” I licked my lips. “Doyouwanttogooutwithme?”

“What?”

Breathe, Kayla. “Do you want to go out with me?”

He blushed.

“Okay….when?”

“Um…” I’d never have guessed I’d make it this far. I hadn’t even considered when. “Saturday? Two?”

Jakob grinned.

I grinned back.

“Okay,” he said.

I smiled, ready to burst with happiness. “Awesome.”

    Awesome. I love the explosiveness of the question, and the what do I do now? factor after the affirmative answer.

    So cute. Nice telling of a magical moment, whether your 12, 18, 23, or 67. It’s just nice to put yourself out there and find out someone likes you a little bit too. And girls asking guys out: totally awesome. That’s how I got most of my girlfriends in high school, and thank goodness cause I rarely had the cajones to ask them out. (was a loooooooooooser)
