A month later

The maths class was cancelled, teacher felt sick, so I'm going home. The weather outside is getting warmer, I can finally go out with a jacket. As I'm walking home I see no other than Steph kissing some dude. Good for her, but she forgot to tell me she had someone. Fuck, I'll have pass by them.

I try to not be noticed but I can't help my self and look up to see who has Stephanie been smooshing with and not telling me. I freeze.

"Wow girl, did not expect that from you," I say quite mad and catch their attention.

"Oh! Sheila, hey!" Jordan shouts with his dickhead smile.

"Steph, what the fuck?" I shouted.

"What do you want?" she shouted back.

"Why are you making out with this douche bag, who's been making my life a living hell?"

"A living hell? Sheila, that's a reach," Jordan responded.

"Why do you care? Are you jealous or what? It's not like I'm stealing your babe," finally Stephanie spoke.

"Jealous me? Of who? This?" I pointed at Jordan.

"Ladies, stop fighting over me," Jordan bragged.

"Bitch no one's fighting over you, at least not me. And where the fuck is your girlfriend. What's her name again? Casey. Did you break up or Stephanie is just a leisure time activity."

"Shut up. I'm not and you're too boring to even be leisure time activity." Stephanie clapped back.

"I'm not with Casey anymore. She finally came out to her family and others so I don't have to pretend to be her boyfriend," Jordan answered my question and I was shocked.

They weren't a real couple then? This was just an act? Maybe he actually... liked me. What am I thinking? I don't care about him, no.

"Oh..." I said shocked and realised I was to tired to deal with all of this so I just walked past them without saying another word.

When I came back home, I immediately texted Theo. We've got even more close and he has asked me to be his girlfriend. I obviously said yes.

The way he asked me to be his girlfriend felt like a literal proposal. Something out of a fairytale.

About two weeks ago we went to an amusement park. It was so fun, even though I almost got a heart attack on one of the rides.

After that, we went to a fancy restaurant. I ordered Caesar salad while he ordered medium steak or how's it called, I don't know, I hate steak.

We were eating and chatting about life and stuff. What I learned about him, is that he has some sense of humour, at least a sense of humour that I can understand.

While eating, I accidentally dropped the bracelet that Lolita had gifted me. She got it for me during her travels to Greece. The bracelet had an adjustable slider clasp and a tendency of grabbing loose often. I lowered my hand, and the bracelet just slipped.

I was ready to pick it up off the ground, but Theo stopped me, stood up, and kneeled down to pick it up. While kneeling on one knee, he grabbed my hand and asked me if I wanted to be his girlfriend. I was taken aback. I know all of this sounds so cliché, but I loved how romantic it was. I said yes, and he put the bracelet back on my wrist. Then, he stood up, kissed me on the lips, and told me he loved me.

Theo: That's cool.
Me: How was your day?
Theo: it was okay
Me: is everything alright?
Theo: yes.
Me: Hmmm
Me: I didn't see you at school today.
Theo: I know, because I wasn't at school.
Me: Why?
Theo: some shit came up. Sorry, I'm busy.

He's just busy... That's alright, I guess.

I hope.
