Unforgettable Adventures

Asking Her

Reggie was walking to her locker after school, and she saw Theo standing next to it. She smiled when she saw him. Theo looked up and saw her, and smiled a big goofy grin at her.

"Where were you at lunch?" Reggie looked at him, there was sadness in her voice.

"Oh, sorry about that," He looked toward the ground, "I was setting stuff ready for after school."

"Oh for a media project?" She perked up as she went to unlock her locker.

Theo stood next to her nervously, as Reggie opened up her locker, a note fell to the floor. Theo then bent over and picked it up and handed it to her. She smiled and looked at the hand writing. She knew that it was from Maddy so she opened it up and pulled out the paper inside. As Reggie read it she grew confused.

"I don't get it...dress shopping?" Reggie questioned looking down at the note. In Maddy's perfect handwriting, 'Dress Shopping and Dinner at 6pm. Meet you in the cul-de-sac.'

Reggie looked at Theo and he was smiling at her, then turned to walk away. She closed her locker, still looking at the note, walking after Theo. She pulled out her phone and was going to text Maddy, when she looked up to notice that he was no longer in front of her. She walked towards the parking lot, knowing that she would eventually catch up to Theo who was probably at his locker. Before she turned the corner, she texted Maddy.

[What is that note about?] She texted, and received a response immediately from her friend.

[You'll see!]

Reggie turned the corner looking at her phone, but then she heard a locker close causing her to look up, and just a few steps away from her was Theo. He was holding yellow daisies, and a giant rice crispy treat. She approached him slowly, confused at what was happening, Theo looked at her, and smiled once again. She read the word across the Rice Crispy Treat. 'Prom?', it was spelt out with mini-marshmallows. She automatically began smiling. She looked at him and then looked back at the Rice Crispy Treat. She was standing right in from of him at this point, and she wondered if this was some sort of joke. She hoped not.

"So I heard from a friend that you needed a date to prom..." He said smiling at her. He handed her the flowers and she grabbed a hold of them and began smiling at him. He could tell that she was excited. She began to look like she always does when she goes to the Tide Pools with him. He knew that this was a good sign.

"Theo, I can't believe this..." She said, look at him then to the flowers that she held in her hand. She sniffed them, they smelt beautiful. "How did you do this?"

"I had some help," He smiled at her, then looking down at the Rice Crispy Treat, "My mom made it, I just put the marshmallows on..."

"You know I love your mom's Rice Crispies!" She said smiling at it.

"I know, I asked her last night at like midnight..." He looked at her sheepishly, "She loves you so much, she couldn't say no!"

"Aw!" She gave him a hug, and they stood there, hugging each other. She didn't want to let go, but before it became awkward, she let go and stepped away.

Theo looked at her, smiling, then looked toward the end of the hall towards the parking lot, "We should probably get going. Don't want to make you late for your shopping trip!" He smiled at her.

He wanted to grab her hand, but he felt like it was not a good idea.

Reggie hesitated before beginning to walk towards the parking lot, she just looked at Theo beginning to look confused.

"What's wrong Reg?" He asked her, picking up her confusion.

"Why?" She asked, confused at why he had asked her to prom instead of any other girl.
