is it a joke? || xavier thorpe

I'm an outcast. I study at the Nevermore academy, but I'm not a part in any of the groups, gorgons, mermaids, vampires, werewolves or any other family, how they like to call it. I'm like Eugene, my best friend, we are just simple kids that have a hard time integrating in the society that we live in. 

With all that being said, I was beyond surprized when Xavier Thorpe asked me out. I mean the Xavier Thorpe, the guy that every girl drooled over, including myself, the guy that had the almost royalty girl, the same guy that made the famous raven painting from our camp. I was skeptical about it, I mean who wouldn't be, I was the girl that no one  acknowledged, I was practiclly invisible, but I reluctanly agreed. It won't be that bad, would it?

This is how I got here, I'm at the front gate where Xavier told me to meet up. I was wearing something simple, casual, jeans and a hoodie, because the weather outside wouldn't  let me wear a top or shirt. After five minutes he actually showed up, I thought he will just call it quits but, he didn't. 

"Hi, Y/N. How are you?" he asked me "I'm good how about you?" I've responded. "You are really pretty tonight" Pretty I thought to myself, did Xavier Thorpe just called me pretty... "You don't look bad yourself either" I giggled, not wanting to accept the fact that he just called me pretty. "This might sound crazy but I need you to put this on" he said handing me a black bandana to cover my eyes. "what for?" I was taken back by this, but I don't know. "I want to keep it a surprize for when we get there. Just trust me on this"

You might be thinking, you didn't agree, did you, who will do that. I would, I agreed. He putted the bandana over my eyes making sure I din't see anything, then he started leading the way. I was trying to make a small conversation to calm down my nerves, not every day your crush will ask you out, and it actually worked, we started to learn different things about ourselves, cracking jokes and laughing, but enventually he stopped. "we are here" he whispered in my ear sending a shiver down my spine "You can take the cover off". He started shifting  his position, I've tried to take the banana of but without any success. "Let me help you" he said coming behind me to redo the knot that he did earlier. 

When he took off the cover I was suprised to see a mini picnic surrounded by fairy lights in a part of the forest that i didn't know, it was close to the river and it was very hidden, like he planned to do something private and he needed peace and privacy. "Pretty" I let the word escape my lips as I took in the image of something that I think he did for me, us. "What?" he asked "It's pretty, thank you." "It is, but not as pretty as you. Come on take a seat" he said patting the spot next to him, telling me to sit down. After I was besides him, Xavier started to unpack the things from the basked  and for my surprize, almost all the sweets and snacks were my favourites, besides the sandwiches and tea, he even bringed two Arizona teas, I've been obsessted with the drink since I was 10, now I'm 16 . "How do you know?" I've asked him still surprized that he knew, I never told him, In fact we never even talked besides today when he asked to hang out and the talk that we made on the way here. "I just know. Don't be shy, you can take anything that's why I bringed these here" he laughed. That made me take something from there. 

We started slow not knowing what to do, trying to break the awkwardness that sat upon us. All that we needed to to is crack a joke, for everything to come natural. We talked almost about everything, but something was off, he seemed tense, like something was bothering him, and the other thing that I acknowledged  is that he told me a lot of compliments. Now we sat in complete silence waiting that one of us would say something. "I have to tell you something" he blurted out "Promise me to not say a word until I'm finished." with that he took a deep breath and started " Y/N, I know we don't hang out a lot" he huffed "Omg... this is way harder that i expected it to be" he took another breath and restarted " Y/N, I like you, I've liked you for a long time now, at first I thought that it was a little crush and it will go away, I grew fond of you, I might sound like a creep but, I study you every single day, in class, at lunch, everywhere, you are stuck in my mind, you live rent free and I can't be mad about it. I took you out tonight to tell you that I like you, I've been liking you for about four months, this is why I turn every single girl down, I want you, I want to make you mine, I wanna be with you, I want all of you" he finished and I couldn't belive my ears, it happened to me before, popular guys coming to me to say that they like me, but this time he seemed sincere, he said it like he meant it. "Is it a joke?" the question slipped from my lips before thinking "Do you mean it? Or is it a joke?".

The look in his eyes confirmed everything, he meant it, he really meant it, the look in his eyes was everything I needed to confirm " I do, I really do, this is why I made you this" from the bottom of the basket he took a piece of paper and showed it to me, it was a drawing, a beautiful drawing that was illustrating me, it was me at the caffee from the town I was sipping my Arizona tea "you made this, for me?" he shook his head, there everything made sense, the cute names, the flirting, the snacks that he brought "You know" I started " I like you I really do, I like you for how funny you are, how you make others laugh, how you help the school and every student" I sighted "It's just... I'm the silent girl that no one acknowledges, I'm not special, I'm simple" I do like him, I wanna be in  a relationship with him I don't know how others will react "You are not simple, you are the most special girl I know, you are not the type to throw herself at me, to try to catch my attention you are you, and you are the person that I want. I don't wanna sound weird or something but would you want to be my girl?" I couldn't contain my happiness any longer I hugged him "Yes I would love to be your girl?" He picked me up and spun me around, when he putted me down he asked me the question that I've waited for so long "Can I kiss you?" I nodded. His hands found my waist pretty quick as his lips connected with mine, it was like I imagined. After a few seconds we parted,  in the need of air.

 "You are my girl" he said as kissed me again.
