I could only hear the Twilight Zone music.

In what parallel world would I even consider asking a guy out?

My heart hammered. I actually believed my heart would burst out of my chest.

“Girl, stop resisting. Oh-Em-Gee, Lis!...”
Jac and his nicknames
“Shit!...Lis, he’s walking this way..” Jac’s voice became urgent but excited. My stomach suddenly tied up and became rock solid.

Somehow Tom had noticed me. And he was walking this way
MY way?!
Damn! I AM in the Twilight Zone

“Yo! Allison, wasup?” his beautiful smile beamed at me. Suddenly the knot in my stomach loosened…but I began staring at his face like an idiot. Luckily, he didn’t seem to notice when this happened

“H-Hi” I stuttered. I looked back at Jac, but he was gone. When I looked back, Tom’s gorgeous face was right in my face.

His face was bright red
“I was wondering…would you like to go out with me sometime?”

I nodded for what it seemed like DAYS and finally choked out an “Uh-huh”

yup, twilight zone
