The morning followed, the sun shined, my heart melted. Why am I so happy? Because today, just this morning, Liam asked me out! Wahoo! I dance around. The date is at 6:30 pm and neither my mom nor dad nor Kenzi know about it. I planned to tell them that my fashion club held a special meeting. I don't like lying but this would be totally worth it.

Kenzi has another after-school activity so she wouldn't be around seeing me wearing really fancy designer dresses.

Today's breakfast is a really good one. Waffles, whipped cream, strawberries, and jelly.

At 6:00, Kenzi came into my room, I was trying on my new designer dress.

"Ahh!" I shout, "I thought you were supposed to be at an after-school activity.

"I know, but they canceled it because today wasn't windy." She says, "Why are you wearing a dress?"

"Oh, uh because... for the fashion club, today is wear something fancy day, hehe..."

She looks like she was about to say something but then shrugs and walks out. Phew. That was close.

Now, I do my nails, my hair, and finish wearing my clothes. I look at my reflection in the mirror.

"Perfect," I say.

Then I grab my everyday purse, I look at it. Nah, I want to bring a special purse, so I took my Gucci purse instead.

Then I walk to the elevator and down to floor number one. My mom is at her friend's fashion show and my dad is at work. Liam is picking me up by his motorcycle. Sigh. He is so cute.

When Liam arrives, it is already 6:34 pm, I open the door and rush onto his motorcycle.

He hands me a helmet.

"Here, wear this, it's gonna be a bumpy ride," he says.

"Okay," I put the helmet on and he drove off.

We go to this place called "Fleet Restaurant,"

"Why did we come here?" I ask,

"I took Kenzi to this restaurant a few weeks ago, the food was really good," he says.

"Oh," I say.

We sat at a table and ordered. When our food came, I was so hungry. The first bite of steak entered my mouth. Oh wow. He's not wrong. This is food heaven..yum!

After we finished, I looked at my phone,

"Oh no!" I say, "It's 7:54! Mom is home! And so is dad! They're probably wondering what had happened to me,"

"We have to go now!" Liam says, "You get ready while I pay."

"Ok," I agree and after 5 minutes, we're off.

By the time we reach my house, it's already 8:31," Thanks," I say, "Bye I really have to go."

I didn't even wait for him to respond as I rushed up the marble stairs and onto the pool's patio. I open the door.

Right in front of me were a frowning mom and a glaring dad.

Uh-oh.
