"See you on Friday Lanie. I can't wait."

Hey guys. yesterday was chaos, right? well, today was worse.

After finally recovering from the heartbreak, I strolled into the cafeteria. I waved to Chrissa, one of my friends here at Girl of The Year University. Searching for Matt (I never said I wasn't over him!), I slowly walked to Chrissa. Finally, my eyes met his piercing blue ones. I just couldn't stop staring. He just stared at me too while Kanani blabbed on and on about something boring. Even though she was talking loudly and obnoxiously, I didn't hear a thing. I was lost in Matt's eyes. Was it my silky locks? My designer blue sundress? My perfect makeup and skin? Either way, Matt gave me a quick signal to come over to their table. Quickly, I told Chrissa I needed to sit somewhere else right now.
I walked over to Matt, then unaware of what I was getting myself into. Standing at the foot of the table, Kanani's voice raised higher.
"And your here BECAUSE?" she snapped.
"Kanani!" Matt scolded. "She's my friend, so lay off."
I looked was probably looking kinda weird just standing there while they argued, and I turned to walk away. Matt suddenly grabbed me on the arm. "No, Lanie. It's fine. You can stay."
"If you say so..." I responded. Kanani looked like she was about to explode.
About halfway into lunch, I made a daring move. "Hey guys, do you have dates to the School Dance this Friday?" Matt shrugged.
"Nobody has asked me yet, and I haven't asked anyone." he said.
I looked at Kanani like she was crazy. Why hadn't she asked him yet? Now he was mine to take.
"Hey Matt, do you--"
"--want to go to the dance with ME." Kanani finished. Matt opened his mouth to speak, but I was already walking away, this time with my head held high, and nothing, not even Matt grabbing my arm, could EVER make me sat back down. Ever. He was DEAD to me. Kanani was DEAD to me. And my love life, it was just DEAD.
Later that day, I sat on the bus in a two seater alone. I just thought about what happened. Maybe Matt and I just weren't meant to be. As I stared out the window, I heard somebody slip into my seat with me. I turned around, and it was Matt.
"Hey." He said.
"Hi."
I didn't know what else to say. Good thing he did all the talking.
"Lanie, I want to let you know that I rejected Kanani today at lunch. I...was.....hoping to go w-w-with......you." He stuttered, obviously nervous, but I thought it was ADORABLE!! "I didn't ask earlier because I was nervous and I wanted to it somewhere special. I guess this two seater will have to do." He continued.
I was so overjoyed! "Of course I'll  go with you Matt. But next time, just ask, okay?" I joked. We both laughed, then it was silence. I stared into his eyes and he stared into mine. I gave him a kiss on the cheek. He smiled then said, "See you on Friday Lanie. I can't wait."

Me niether.

Love, Lanie
