Macaela's POV
I am extremely curious of what is in the box, so without any further hesitation I pulled the lid off of the box, I peaked in the box and noticed; a box of chocolates in a heart shape, a bunch of red roses wrapped up so that the box wouldn't get wet or damaged, a couple of cut out red hearts spread out randomly around the bottom of the box and a card.
I picked the card up, just because I am extremely curious of who its from. I opened the dark red envelop and there was a white with pink hearts and a picture of a little kitten on the card. I blushed, with the kitten on the card looking all-so-cute. I opened up the card and began to read.
Dear Macaela,
I know this might come to a surprise for you but I have brought all these things for you in hoping you will come on a date with me.
So if its possible, meet me in front of the school tomorrow, right after school is finished. I have a surprise for you.
From Michael
PS Bring nice clothes to school cause we aren't making any stops
xoxoxoxoxo
I blush at the thought of Michael doing this for me. I begin to wonder if I should go or not. My stomach was aching in pain as I tried to come up with reasons why I shouldn't go. I couldn't think of any so I went and asked mum if I can go.
"Mum, can I go over to my friends place after school." I yelled out as the pain in my stomach starts fading away.
"Ahhh... yeah sure, I don't see why not." Mum yells back as she too struggles to come up with a reason for me not to go, but the fact is I didn't tell her that its a date and even worse with a guy.
I start stressing out wondering if Mum is going to find out and absolutely rank out on me. I hope that she doesn't find out but I know she will, eventually, but hopefully she doesn't find out any time soon.
"What should I wear?" I ask myself thinking of what I should wear.
"Should it be my little black dress or my cute flower top with my black shorts or my skinny jeans... Ughhh what am I doing?" I stress out, completely over reacting to a simple thing. I start breathing through my noise and out through my mouth, which slowly helped me.
I started coming to a conclusion of what I should wear. I spent nearly half an hour thinking, but finally I come to a decision. I choose my little black dress which I'm going to wear my black canvas shoes and wear faint makeup with light foundation and black eye-liner with mascara.
I got my stuff together and put it in a little bag and I put it beside my cupboard. Mum called out for me to have dinner but I don't feel like having any so I just laid on my bed with my eyes closed. I heard my bedroom door open, I was thinking of who it could be but I kept my eyes tightly shut.
"She's asleep" I hear a deep male voice say, which sounded extremely familiar.
"She still has that box on her bed." I heard the same voice say as footsteps moved closer towards me.
I opened my eye to see who it was and it was dad, his finally back from work, I wanted to get up and hug him but I didn't last much longer as I fell asleep from the exhaustion that consumed me.

Macaela's POV
I seem to be rushing everything and I'm not even realising. At this rate I'm going to forget something. I've got mixed emotions right now; I'm scared about what's going to happen after school, I'm also worried if everything is just going to go wrong, I'm excited for this afternoon as well, I just don't know which ones more prominent so I can just focus on the good things.
I've almost got everything ready for this afternoon but I swear I'm forgetting something like always.
"Hurry up Macaela, your going to be late for school." A familiar feminine voice echoed through the house, sounding o-so annoying.
"I'm coming." I echoed back, as I grabbed all my stuff and took off.
I rushed down the stairs and jumped in the car. My nerves are at a high and I am just plain confused, I just don't know what to think any more.
"What's the extra bag for." Mum questioned taking a big glance at my bag than at me.
With shook I didn't really say anything, but after a few seconds I did.
"It's for going over to Jesse's place... remember." I reassured as I looked out the window trying to avoid the curious glances my mum was giving me.
"That's right." She reassured herself as she started the car.
The trip to school was extremely quiet with only the faint sound of music playing on the radio. I couldn't recognise the song, so I didn't bother any more... I was to busy thinking about tonight.
"Bye" I said, as I jumped out of the car and walked to the entrance of the school.
"Bye Hun"
I felt so embarrassed with my mum's words. I just looked at the ground after that and I could feel all the cold stares I was getting. I never like this feeling the feeling of everyone judging you... starring intently at you. I just hate it.
After that I went straight to class where I saw Michael. I blushed at the sight of him, forcing me to look at the ground to avoid eye contact.
I think he noticed my actions mostly because he came over towards me.
"Hey, Macaela." Michael smirked, as he stood casually in front of me, averting my eye's to his.
"H--Hi." I stuttered with my words as they struggled to come out.
"So, did you bring your stuff for tonight?" Michael questioned, causing a smirk to form on my face.
"Yeah, of course." I giggled, causing Michael to giggle along side me.
"This is cute."
I opened my mouth to say something, but nothing wanted to come out so I just closed it again. I blushed because of Michael's words but I just stood there. It was so awkward, and I hated it.
'Ring...Ring...Ring' The sound of the bell echoed, sounding all so comforting.
"Finally." I sighed with Michael not even hearing my words, thankfully.
I walked into class and sat down at the back. Michael followed my moves and sat right beside me. Although there weren't any desk's in drama, we sat at the back forming a circle. We started the class straight away. The warm up games were first then an endless discussion with the teacher telling us what we are doing for our assessment.
"Already." I sighed causing Michael to giggle.
The rest of the day was weird, I don't really know why it just was. The last subject I had was maths which was so boring, and I hated it. I just kept starring at Michael.
