Books and Babes

21st February, 2014

Okay, so Blake didn't speak to me for the rest of the week. Yes, as you may have guessed, I was quite gutted.

But today is a brand new day.

Today also has a lot more meaning now. Today is no longer just the 21st of February, oh no. It is officially the day that –drum roll please- BLAKE ASKED ME ON A DATE!

Yes, my friends. The ever-so-amazing Blake has asked little ol' me to go out to the movies with him tonight!

Please call the ambulance because I believe I have just died and gone to heaven.

It went like this:

I was at my locker, putting my books away after fourth period. I put all my books away and I try to lock my locker back up again but the key won't go in the lock. So I'm standing in the corridor trying to get my key to work when this hand comes over my shoulder and someone says,

"Here let me help you."

I freeze and the hand gets my key to work. I somehow manage to stutter a thank you before turning around to find myself face to face with – yep you would have guessed- Blake.

I can admit I lost the ability to move for a few seconds, then I realized my jaw was hanging open and decided to shut it hoping that he didn't notice how much of an idiot I looked like.

"Here, you might want this back." He hands me back my key.

"Thanks for helping, it gets stuck sometimes so yeah."

Smooth Kendall. Smooth.

"Haha, okay then."

He puts his hands in his pocket and looks around uncomfortably.

Congratulations Kendall. You have officially made awkward silence with the most popular guy at school. Claps for you.

"Hey, I was wondering, what are you doing tomorrow night?"

You know watching The Hobbit series for the fifth time while I tried to look up the definition of a social life.

"Not much."

Nice cover up.

"I was wondering if you would like to catch a movie with me tomorrow night.  There is a new comedy movie out and I was wondering if you would like to come with me?"

Oh.

My.

Freaking.

God.

Did he just ask me out on a date? Did he seriously just ask me out on a date?!

Surely, that did not just happen?!

"Uh, earth to Kendall?"

Oh crap. So I've just been staring at him for a few seconds with my eyes popping and my jaw hanging open. I collect myself and stumble my way through an awkward.

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll pick you up at seven?"

I nod my head as he walks back to lunch, but is it my imagination playing tricks on me or does he look relieved?
