I enter the art club. Exactly what I was foreseeing. An exquisite room with craft supplies laid out. I catch Mr.Smith sitting on a chair, shading the different ridges of the fruit in the corner of the room. I was one of the first students there. I walked over towards a paper organizer and take a spare sketchbook. I walk over to a small round table and set my stuff down on the floor next to the seat. I feel something cold on my neck. I bring my hand up to touch what it was. Oh, I've almost omitted I had this necklace. When I start my design, all of the other members file in and seat themselves.

"Hey everyone." I look up to give my full attention towards Mr.Smith. "I will start to take attendance. Please listen carefully for your name."

I nod. So does everyone.

"Alice, here. Peter, here...." he trails off. "Stacy?" I raise my hand. He nods at me with a small smile on his face. But his smile dropped when he looked back onto the role sheet.

"Hm. Looks like we're 1 short. " I hear Mr.Smith say with his hand on his chin. "13 people."

I mentally gasp. An omen. Then there is a sudden slam. I whip my head back. I am found with a surprise.

"Ah, Zach. Finally." Mr.Smith says behind me. My eyes follow Zach as he takes the seat next to me.

"Alright, carry on with your masterpieces."

I lean over to Zach. "What are you doing here?"

"Oh, uh, I wanted to spend more time with you. I heard from your mom that you had joined Mr.Smith's art club."

I smile. "That's-that's sweet."

Zach looks at my neck. I follow his brown orbs. "Oh, this?" I say.

"Yes." Zach's eyes are still glued towards the charm. "It's beautiful. Like you." Zach muttered. I blush a deep red.

"Thanks." I simply reply.

"About that kiss...." Zach says. I look down, not knowing what to say. "I wanted to know...do you like me?"

I purse my lips. I might as well just say it. "I do Zach. From the beginning to the end."

We just kept on walking. I'm not sure how he feels.

"You know what Stacy?" I look at him. "I feel the same."

My jaw drops. Zach turns to look at me. I hide my red face in my hair. "Will you be my girlfriend?" Zach asks.

I smile widely. "Yes." I accept. "I will be your girlfriend."
