Dylan's POV:

I could not believe myself. I asked Rachel to the dance. I actually asked her to the dance. Shit. Did she understand what I said?

The number of questions going through my head were enough to drive me crazy. With Rachel, it was love at first sight. She was paired with me for science class and was my lab partner. She was beautiful. She was slim and with a dainty, graceful figure. At first my feelings for her were purely materialistic. But soon, I came to know her as a person and realised what a truly beautiful heart resided in that beautiful body.

When I saw Rachel falling down, I instinctively caught her. But when I looked into her eyes, I was lost. Rachel was not my first. I had a fair number of flings in my previous school. But something about her was different. I actually fell in love. She made me reconsider the whole view of a relationship. At first I never took these things really seriously. I used to get a girl, date for a few months, dump her or get dumped and move on to the next girl. But I knew, deep down, that this would not be the case with Rachel. I would not take her for granted. I really felt something deep down inside for her.

As she fell down, her flaming red hair captivated me. It took me all my will power not reach for her and tuck a stray strand behind her ears.

She was looking into my eyes, keeping me transfixed. My brain stopped working and I said something smart like,

"Don't injure yourself before the dance. I don't want to go without a date.

Fuck

That was no way to ask someone to the dance. It was supposed to be polite and gentlemanly. God. This girl had fucked up my mind like a pro.

What if she realised that I asked her, but feels offended that I didn't ask her out properly? What if she thinks Im a spineless dude?

Get a grip of yourself. I was admonishing myself.

Rachel's POV:

I couldn't believe it. Dylan finally asked me out. I was on cloud nine the whole day! I rushed home in a joyous mood and logged into my computer.

Me:Girlsssss!! Dylan asked me to the dance. Finallyy ! ^_^

EmmaShirley: Yaay for you. So did you say yes? You are the first person in our circle to get asked out J

KayKay: Youbetcha Em. Im sure she must have. You should have seen her in the bus today. She was lost. Totally lost. Wouldn't have got off if I hadn't woken up.
