The question

Jake's P.O.V

Josh and I dropped Kate and Kir off at their house. Soon as they were inside I knew I had to tell Josh how I felt about Kate and how I want to ask her to the spring formal. We were on our way home.

Me: Josh, I really like Kate and I want to ask her to Spring Formal.

Josh; I'm your twin I can sense when you like someone. You should definitely ask her.

Me: how though?

Josh: Easy a rose

Me: I want to get it tomorrow before school.

Josh: You will have to leave earlier then so you're not late.

Me: yea you're right. Please don't say anything though especially to Kir. You know what better yet you can go with me to get it tomorrow just so I know you won't open your big mouth.

Josh: fine.

I pulled into the drive way of our house and parked the van. Josh and I got out and went inside to eat dinner with our family. I sat across from Josh, Sam sat across from Ronnie. Mom and dad sat across from each other.

Mom: so Jake have you asked anyone to spring formal yet?
Me: not yet
Mom: you have someone in mind?

Before I could answer Josh opened his mouth.

Josh: yes he does. He's asking Kate. I'm taking Kir but just as friends.

Mom: that's sweet I like both Kate and Kir. Both    beautiful girls.

Me: Josh!

Josh: sorry had to tell someone.

I hurried up and finished my food. I sat my dirty plate in the sink along with my utensils I used and headed to my room. I shut the door and laid on my bed. I couldn't sleep because when I get nervous or excited about anything I just can't sleep it stays on my mind and bothers me. I finally fell asleep at 3 even though I had to get up at 6 since I had to leave earlier.

  I heard my alarm go off and jumped out of bed. I rushed to get dressed and then went to Josh's room. I barged in and woke him up.

Me: Josh get up! We have to go get the flowers and stuff!

Josh: ugh fine

Josh slowly got out of bed and shooed me out of his room so he can get dressed. I waited outside his bedroom door. He finally opened his door. I grabbed his arm pulling him all the way to the van.

Josh: dude chill the flowers will be there.

Me: I know just nervous.

Josh: look at me.

I looked at Josh.

Josh: now inhale and exhale a few times I'll do it with you.

We both did what Josh insisted and it made me feel a bit better but not so much.

Me: thanks Josh let's go now.

We finally got in the van and pulled out the driveway to head to the small flower shop in town. I pulled into the driveway and parked the van. I got out the van and Josh just sat there.

Me: Josh come on

Josh: ugh fine

Josh finally got out the van and locked it. We both headed into the flower shop. It was overwhelming how many choices I could pick from.

Me: Josh what should I do? A single rose or a bouquet?

Josh:definitely a single

I walked around the Lilly's then the daisies and I finally went over to the roses and one stuck out to me. It's a beautiful big orange rose.
