It was Monday morning when i found myself waiting at Emerson Todds locker. She walked up to me laughing as usual with her best friend, Avia Watson. Sure Avia was hot but she had nothing on Emerson, Emerson was beautiful, she was captivating.

"uhm whos that" i over hear Avia whisper to Emerson.

"Oh thats Carter, Carter Matthews" she replies loud enough so i could hear.

"So you remember me, thats a good sign" i reply with a cheeky grin on my face while leaning up against her locker.

"now how could i forget, you wanted to take me on a date without even getting to know my name first"

"oh i know your name Emerson Todd, so how about that date"

she gives me a big smile before replying,

"well your going to have to try a lot harder then that Carter"

then she barges past me and puts her books in her locker before walking off to class laughing and wispering to Avia.

Tuesday afternoon i waited by her car with a red rose until she finished her last class. She exited her class and walked to her car. She unlocked the door, grabbed the rose off me with that big bright smile of hers and said,

"a rose, is that all you've got" before closing her door and driving off.

Wednesday In second period, when me and Emerson had Maths together i decided to write her a poem to pass to her.

'If someone asked me,

Why i like you so,

I would have to think,

For i don't really know,

I cant put a finger on why,

Im crushing on you madly,

All i know is that,

I like you crazy.'

She returns the note with a cheesy grin saying 'You just don't give up do you Carter Matthews?' Returning her cheesy smile i whisper "Im not giving up on you Emerson Todd"

By this point i understand that this girl is going to be very hard to get. But i was sticking to my word, I was not going to give up on her, ever.

By Friday every romantic thing i had in my little brain was used up and i was tired of the games, I decided just to talk to Emerson, tell her how it is.

It was lunch, She was sitting at the popular table picking at her salad, and i was 3 tables away from her, just watching. I was going to wait to talk to her in private but before my brain could catch up to what i was doing i was already out of my chair and standing on the table next to Emersons table.

A few whispers pass by calling me a 'wiredo freak' and more whispers saying 'what the fuck is he doing' , But that wasn't going to stop me as i look into Emersons eyes, They were wide and her face was shocked. She knew what i was going to do.

"Everyone listen up" i start trying to sound confident because inside i was a ball of anxiety.

"I really like you Emerson Todd, and i have tried every move in the book on you to let me take you on a date, but you wont budge, so this is the idea I've come up with, I will not stop until you agree to one date" She looks embarrassed but also amused.

"okay your not going to reply, so i guess im just going to have to stand here and keep saying cheesy sappy shit to you" I scream while all the girls at her table laugh. But not Emerson her smile fades but she does reply.

"Go for it, i want to hear all the cheesy shit you have to say".
