Grace had finally put on her performance and it was safe to say she would be getting an A. Everyone's performances where amazing and the costumes all ran smoothly. Ophelia was extremely proud of her best friend, cheering loud from behind the curtains.
The girl was stood with Juliet as Grace spoke to her parents, only stopping her as she stormed away. Grace told the two she was going away, Ophelia was quick to deny it and say she wasnt allowed to leave but when Juliet started questioning the relationship, she left. Not wanting to interrupt a potentially heart breaking conversation.
Rich hadn't been able to find Ophelia for the rest of the day, he thought she was avoiding him but in reality she left college early and went home to sulk in bed for the remainder of the day. Grace couldn't leave Ophelia, she wouldn't let her. She was dressed in grey fluffy shorts with a matching crop top, the jacket that matches hung up on her chair.
Suddenly there was a clattering against her window, the girls eyebrows furrowed as she got up. She pulled open the curtains and looked into the garden, her eyes instantly locking on to Rich's figure standing in the middle of the grass with pebbles in his hands. As soon as she pushed open the window, the boy started singing a song she had never expected to hear coming out of his mouth.
I see the light, the song from tangled, was what he was singing. A song from Ophelia's favourite Disney film. Ophelia just watched in amusement as he blurted out the lyrics, a bouquet of flowers in his hand. Rich then rushed towards the guttering, motioning for Ophelia to catch moments before throwing the flowers up to her. He then scaled the guttering and pulled himself into her room.
Ophelia put the new flowers in the same vase as the almost dying flowers that rich had brought her. Rich pulled his boots off, falling backwards onto the girls bed.
"what a way to make an impression" Ophelia commented, jumping onto the bed beside him and immediately cuddling into his side
"you deserve only the best Ophelia Winters" Rich put on a posh accent
It was silent for a while, basking in the others presence. It was peaceful, wind blowing against the now shut curtains, the flickering of the candles she had lit, the soft smell of honey and pine from said candles. Ophelia, for if only a second, got a glimpse of what her future could contain.
"Marry me Ophelia Rose Winters. Fuck every one and everything. We belong together for as long as we live, we can start a life together"
"Rich" Ophelia whispered, taking a moment to really take in what he had just proposed. There was not doubt in her mind that it was them forever but they where young, they didn't have any reason to get married
"okay no hear me out, if we get there and decide against it then we leave and start over but you know i dont want anyone else. Your it for me"
"i guess we have some planning to do then" Ophelia grinned at the boy, sitting up in excitement. Rich scrambled off the bed, pulling off one of his own rings before kneeling on the floor
"this will have to do for now" Rich smiled, the girl jumped up and put her hand right in front of his face, shaking it around excitedly. Rich quickly slipped the ring on before getting up and pulling the girl into a hug, Ophelia tugging at his collar and pulling him down for a not so innocent kiss.
When the two had settled down from their shared excitement, Rich grabbed his phone from his pocket and took a subtle photo of the two. Her hand (in which the ring was on) resting against his chest as they cuddled. He sent that photo to everyone in their shared friend group.
Mini was the first to clock onto what was going on. After a few messages from Alo, Nick and even Liv telling him to stop bragging about their relationship, Mini messaged him back with 'OMG is that what i think it is!!'. It was after that a group chat was made by mini telling everyone else who then realised what the photo was about.
It was safe to say a lot of planning happened that night.
