Lucas Pov
"This is it Riles."
"I can't believe this is happening!", she says, tears forming at the corners of her eyes. I look at my girlfriend of five years, her beautiful chocolate brown hair, cascading in curls along her back. Her luscious brown eyes stare at my own, and I can't help but smile. Riley Amy Matthews, the love of my life, she is the one for me. But prior to this day, Mr. Matthews gave me clear instructions. I have to wait until college to propose. He wanted to make sure we were ready, and that we knew what was coming for us. On that day though, was the day I asked for his blessing to propose to her. Guess that's going to have to wait. So now, here we are. All four of us, Maya, Farkle, Riley and I just graduated from John Adams High School. Currently, we are outside, taking the infamous pictures. As soon as we finished, I took Riley by the hand and led her to our special place. The willow tree behind the school building, the place where we first said I love you. I reached inside of my pocket, and grabbed the gift I was about to give her.
"Riley, I love you. Nothing can change that, no matter how hard anyone tries. I am yours." I presented the locket in the shape of a heart, with an "R" carved onto it. "Oh my gosh, Lucas it's beautiful!" She exclaimed.
"Don't ever forget me, okay?" " I could never live with myself if you did."
"I love you so much Lucas," she said and leaned in. Like every other time we've kissed, it felt like I was on fire, with a burning sensation throughout my whole body. I love her.
