As she turned to walk away, she felt Michael's hand on her shoulder. He squeezed, a silent gesture of support. "Finally God Damn" he screamed. She gave him a small smile before retreating to their usual lunch table.The rest of the day dragged on like a tire with a flat. Every time the bell rang, signaling the end of a class, Brooklynn's stomach did a flip. Would Percy say yes? Would he ever even think about it again?As Brook exits to go to her next class Percy and her bump into each other. He gives her an awkward smile, "Hey again," he says.Her heart skips a beat, "Oh hey Percy," she replied, trying to play it cool.Percy shifts his weight, "So about after school tomorrow," he starts, "I actually don't have band practice. You know what, let's do it."Brooklynn's eyes widen in surprise, "Really?" she asks, trying to keep the excitement from spilling over.Percy nods, his smile growing a little less forced. "Yeah, sure. What do you wanna do?"Brooklynn's mind races with possibilities, but she plays it safe. "How about movies?" she suggests, her heart pounding. In her mind, she wants to say sex, but she keeps it cool. She doesn't want to scare him off.Percy nods, "Cool, what do you wanna watch?"Brooklynn's mind races through the latest rom-coms, but she stops herself. She doesn't want to seem too eager. "How about something action-packed?" she suggests, hoping to appeal to his tastes.Percy nods in approval. "Yeah, that sounds good. I'll text you the details later."The rest of the school day passes in a blur, and Brooklynn finds it hard to concentrate on her lessons. The thought of spending time with Percy after school sends her into a whirlwind of excitement and anxiety. She wonders what to wear, what to say, and how to act. When the final bell rings, she practically sprints to her locker, her thoughts racing even faster.
