I Didn't See That Coming

HOMECOMING?

***Gus POV***

2 weeks later

You could say im slightly obsessed with Hazel. Okay, very obsessed. She is just so amazing and beautiful. I want her to know she is special. She is amazing.

I want to ask her to Homecoming, even though its a month and a half away. I need to find the perfect way to ask though. I have a couple ideas. Google is now my best friend, because it has all the answers. Sorry Isaac!

I had originally thought to cover her car with sticky notes. Each sticky note would say,"Will you go to homecoming with me?" That would take a lot of time.

I could also ask Monica to organize a cheer routine. It would be pretty impressive. Olivia could do something to screw it up. Heck! Olivia might get jealous and try to hurt Hazel. I don't want Hazel to  get hurt because of me. Then again I don't think Hazel likes sports. She may not see it. I'm definitely not doing that.

I could just spam her email, Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, text messages with it. She might just think im annoying and can't take rejection. Otherwise she might think im like a creepy stalker. Even though I am not.

I could come into school early. Then I could decorate her locker. I could put up fancy signs. Then put balloons and streamers all over it. Inside I would put a bouquet of roses. I would meet her in the commons and I would walk behind her. I would let he see the locker and open it then I would go up an ask.

Maybe I am just overthinking this. There has to be something she really enjoys passionately. She likes to read. I never read An Imperial Affliction. Oops.

She likes to run too. How anyone can enjoy running I will never know or comprehend. She tried to explain it to me once. She said, "Running at practice  is just so calming. Its just me and my thoughts. I can hear the beating of my heart. The fresh air courses through my lungs. It's all so peaceful." I still think running is just running.

I know exactly what I am going to do!

I woke up and I don't want to get up. Then I remembered what I was going to do. I was going to ask Hazel to Homecoming in the best way imaginable. It is a brilliant idea. I really hope she says yes.

I get up, get dressed, go down stairs, eat, brush my teeth and leave the house. I get in my truck and take a deep breath before I start my engine and head down the road.

***Hazel POV***
I got up early for once. I jumped in the shower, shaved my legs, washed my hair, and just breathed in the steam. I had a feeling today was going to be a good day.

I enjoyed school, while everyone else was complaining it was pretty easy. At least it was easy to me. All of it was but math, I have never liked math. Numbers making everything worse or more stressful.

Okay. That isn't the only reason I liked school. I enjoy the social aspect as well. I like meeting new people and talking to them. The people I hang out the most with are Isaac, Gus, and Monica. They are so nice.

Okay... That may not be entirely true. Don't get me wrong I like socializing, but I like it more with one person. Gus just makes everything so much fun. He makes me smile and laugh. I think I might have a crush on him. But how am I suppose to know I have never liked anyone before. At least i don't think I have. How could anyone not like him, he is just so adorable and wonderful.

Homecoming is coming up. I mean in like two months. I really want him to ask me. I don't think he will though. He is just so popular and has all these other friends. He knows so many people. Who am I kidding? He isn't going to ask me to Homecoming. I need to get my heads out of the clouds. I just can't help but think about the night in the hospital parking lot.
