Ace's pov:

Did she just...ask me out? I couldn't even muster up any words for a few moments. I was honestly stunned. I don't think anyone's ever been so straightforward with me. Her hopeful eyes nervously gazed towards my lips waiting for a response. I snap out of it and realize what she just said, I panic. ''I have to go'' is all I'm able to say. She doesn't look up, she simply drops her head down and walks away sadly. I feel horrible, I usually don't give a fuck about what people think about me but she was so happy and when I rejected her I could see her happiness fade away.

It's been a few hours since seeing Sophia and I still can't stop thinking of her. To distract myself I reach to my dresser and pick up my phone, I check Instagram first and then check snapchat only to see, Sophia added? ''JOSH!''I yell. He runs over and asks what's going on. ''Care to explain why Sophia is added on my snapchat?'' I shove my phone in my pocket. I get up from my bed and look at him with my arms crossed. ''I was just tryna help you out.'' he explains, I sigh and tell him about earlier today when I rejected her. ''Oh shit.. She must've been really upset.'' I nod, ''she looked really upset and I've been feeling awful about it. I hate to admit it but I hate seeing her so upset, especially when I'm the cause of it.'' After a long conversation with Josh, I sit down and try to think of what to do. ''Fuck it'', I take my phone out of my pocket and text her on snapchat.

Me: Hey, I wanted to apologize about today. It was a dick move. If you'd still be willing to see me, meet me at the local skating rink at 7pm. I'll be waiting.
