I'm starting to think I might be a bit insane. At first it was small things every now and then like I would put a book or something on a desk but instead still in my hands. But it's started to morph into something... Bigger. Yesterday, I was sitting in the quad having a conversation with Yoko but the next thing I know Yoko walks into the quad looking at me like I have mental issues.

"Val? You there?" Enid complains with a hint of annoyance in her voice.

"Yea sorry I just kinda zoned out I think." I shake my head at look at back at her.

"Now as I was saying, the Rave'N is in a few days and you don't have anyone to go with!"

"Well what about you? I thought you didn't either?"

"I do now but that isn't important right now!" I think I can sense where this little conversation is going...

"Well it doesn't matter anyways because there isn't anyone I would fancy going with."

"You suuuuure?" Enid objects while heavily indicating towards Rowan.

"I mean," nope snap out of it, "no definitely not!"

"Really? Because when you said that you were looking at Rowan..." Fuck, was I?

"I wasn't! And for the record I don't like him not like that!"

"Someone needs to put you on a top ten list for biggest liars." She laughs while holding her stomach.

"Nope! He's my friend, I like him but I don't like him in a crush way." Someone does need to put me on a top ten list oh my lord. I look over at Rowan while saying this and he looks a bit upset? But I looked at him a few seconds ago and he wasn't upset but now he is after I said that. Okay I'm not going to lie this is a bit stalkerish.

"Whatever you say Mrs. Laslow." She stands up and spins around to face me before placing her hands on her hips.

"Enid!"

"Ok ok, I'm sorry! But you should ask him to go to it with you. You didn't hear this from me but Rowan was speaking about you yesterday in a lovey dovey way." She leans in a few inches away from my ears and whispers. I turn my head to face her and raise my eyebrows.

"Wait, seriously? I mean I don't care."

"Mhm sure you don't." She sassily whips around before strutting off towards her room. Is she right? Should I ask him? What if he said no? Would it make things awkward? Would he not want to be my friend anymore? But what if he said yes? Would we just stay friends after or become more? But then again Enid said she heard her speaking about me and he has called me pretty before. I just don't want to mess up and ruin it.

"Hey, um, Rowan?" I place my hands behind my back and start to fiddle with them.

"Yeees?" He doesn't lift his head to look at me. Instead his eyes are even more fixed onto the homework he was doing and his glasses are starting to fall down his nose.

"Are you going to the Rave'N?"

"Probably not, I don't have anyone to go with so it's kinda pointless." 

"Well would you maybe possibly want to go with me to the Rave'N?"

"Hell yes! I mean... Sure that'd be cool..." 

"I'll meet you at 7 in the quad then?" My heart is beating a million miles per minute.

"Uh huh sure." Even though his head is down I can see the redness of his cheeks.

"See you then." I turn around while mouthing oh my god over and over again. I can not believe that he said yes! He actually said yes! He didn't said no and give me a dirty look he said he would go with me! 

"WAIT YOU ACTUALLY ASKED HIM?!" Enid throws her phone on her bed and jumps.

"Mhm! And he told me yes!" I fall onto her bed and start to smile like a maniac.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!!! WE NEED TO FIND YOU THE PERFECT DRESS! COME ON LET'S GO!" She tugs my hands and tries to rush me out the door.

"Calm down and stop screaming!" My feet stop in place and I turn around to face her.

"Sorry I'm just really happy for you! We should get matching outfits!" Her hands bolt up into the air and she starts to shake them violently.

"No we should not." I place my hand on top of hers and push it down while shaking my head.

"Ughhh you're boring! Can we go shopping now?"

"Fine, let's go."

"Eeeek!" Defeatedly, I walk out the door with Enid following behind me. We head towards the front of the school and hop on the shuttle.

"So, what are you thinking? Like a plain white knee length dress or a long white dress?" She gestures with her hands the types of dresses she's talking about.

"I don't know I was kind of waiting to see what was there."

"Well start thinking now! Because we don't have long till it starts!" Her hands slap her knees and she bounces to her feet before hopping off the grey shuttle.

"Enid, love, it starts in 4 days." I follow after her as she runs towards the first dress shop she sees.

"Well, I've had mine ready for 4 weeks!" Her eyes fill with sparkles when she sees the dress in the window.

"Shut up and let's go." I grab her wrist and pull her inside.

"thoughts?" I walk out in a classy, white, shimmery gown and twirl around.

"I don't know it's just not very you." Enid leans back in her chair and folds her arms.

"Well, how about this?" This time it's a long sleeve, knee length, plain, white dress.

"I mean it's alright." She tilts her head to the side.

"What do you think of this one?" There is an obvious grin on my face while wearing this dress. It's an off the shoulder dress with sort of poofy sleeves, buttons up the middle of it and a short skirt.
