Beggin’ On Your Knees For Me:  Chapter 2

   -Getting Ready*

   I dropped my phone, my hands just shaking from the text. I couldn’t believe it, our first date? I felt like this was just way too much. Wait, was it? I mean, I really do like him. “Ugh!” I yell, my head turning up towards the ceiling as if though it were going to help me.

   No such luck.

   I lowered my head down, moving my hand towards my face. My phone now very zoomed up for me to see Drake’s text. Unbelievable, it really was there; I wasn’t imagining it. Only question now is, am I ready for this? After only having three boyfriends, I don’t know if I’d really be the best girlfriend for Drake. Or how about all of those girls who swooned over him in school? I can already picture them giving me those evil glares that they always give to every girl who even wants to be at a two feet range from him. Was I ready for that?

   I mean, when I was at school, I was really shy. I was that girl you’d basically see reading instead of eating lunch during lunch period. I barely even had friends, only like three who’ve always stuck by me, other than that, nada.

   Then suddenly I sat up straight, an idea popping into my head.

   What if going out with Drake Gunner brought me out of my shell? What if it helped me get through my freshman year without it being the worst first year in high school for me? I smiled.

   This will definitely work!

   I clasped my hands together, my phone in between. “Alright,” I say turning my phone upside so that I could unlock it again. I unlocked it and sent:  Ok, I’m up 4 it! ;D

   After that I hunched my shoulders and let out a heavy sigh. “Phew,” I say in relief. There, that wasn’t that bad. I wonder how he would reply, I looked straight ahead giving out a big smile, and my teeth portraying all the happiness and relief I felt right now.

   “Ding”

   There it went again, Drake’s text sent especially to and for me! I glance at my phone, Drake’s text: Alright, give me your address & I’ll pick you up at 8. ;)

   A smile creeped through my small pinkish lips.  This was it! No backing out now, no “God, I wish hadn’t of done that,” nope, none of those regretful remarks.

   I grabbed a hold of my phone with my hands still smudging the screen. All the nervousness I was feeling was definitely having an effect on me. I send: Alright, it’s 204 Bernard Rd. by St. Luke’s Church in 5th avenue.

   Then the “whoop” came and there it went. I think I’m getting the hang of this, or maybe I thought I was.  It was uncertain, I mean, it sure felt like it. But then again, when it comes to the actual date? I don’t know what will happen!

   “Ding”

   I looked at my phone and there was his message: Oh, alright. Be ready and look your best, even though you always do! ;]

   I stared at the text for the longest time, maybe a little over five minutes! It never dawned on me how much he cared about me. Was I over looking things? Hopefully not, I’ve had a crush on Drake since I was in 6th grade. Yup, that long.  I always thought of him as the sun that always shined and brightened everyone’s mood once he came. He always had this confidence and a kind of way with people, always trying to cheer up anyone and always with high spirits. Yeah, I have it real bad for him, don’t I?
