Friday night arrived, and I texted Mia: "Pick you up at 8."

Downstairs, Jasiah asked, "Where are you going?"

"Santiago with Mia," I replied.

Jasiah raised an eyebrow. "Never seen you this happy, Lucas. Don't blow it."

Mia's P.O.V

I picked out a black crop top, gray sweatpants, and white Air Force ones.

After my bath, I applied makeup, reflecting on Hailey's words.

Lucas arrived with roses and a card reading "I'm sorry."

We drove to Santiago, a popular Los Angeles ice cream spot.

Inside, I chose strawberry cookie with sprinkles; Lucas opted for vanilla.

Seated near the window, Lucas turned to me, his eyes locked on mine.

"Mia, I have something to tell you," he said.

"Ok," I replied.

"I've known since the day I met you...you're the one. Mia Bella Mai, I love you."

My heart skipped a beat.

"I love you too, Lucas Santíago Graham."

Lucas beamed.

"Mia, will you be my girlfriend?"

"Yes," I said.

Elated, Lucas smiled.

At 10, we left Santiago.

Outside my house, Lucas stopped me.

Our eyes met, and he leaned in for a kiss.

"Goodbye," we whispered in unison.

I entered my house, and Lucas drove off.

Convo:

(Lucas texts)

Lucas: Best night ever

Mia: Mine too
