Hazel's POV
The strangest thing happened while I was sitting on the edge of my bed, watching TV. Kelsey came into my bedroom and asked if I was "eating okay" I answered untruthfully, "I'm fine" I said. Kelsey then left and Caspar came in. We talked for about a minute when suddenly Kelsey came back in and started playing her guitar. Then Joe came in behind her with a keytar, playing a sweet and sad rhythm. Then Caspar began singing. It was Hotel Ceiling by Rixton, it was my favorite song. Caspar didn't sing much as he wasn't a singer and Kelsey and Joe took over for him. I laughed, the laughter seemed unfamiliar as it'd been so long since I'd been happy. Then tears spilled from my eyes, I smiled through the tears, I felt happy even though I was crying. Then Caspar got down on one knee -no, don't get too excited, it's not what you think- he said, "Hazel Creston, will you go one a date with me?"
I smiled, Kelsey and Joe still singing in the background.
"Yes." Is all I said, wiping the tears off of my face, I laughed as Caspar's face lit up with joy. He pulled me into a tight hug and I think I smiled so hard my face could've stuck like that.

*****
Apparently I'm going on a date with Caspar. "Ugh, it's so stupid! I don't want to go!" I complained to Kelsey, who was out shopping with me for a dress.
"Alright, Caspar told me I'd need these." Kelsey grabbed a bag from her purse, the bag contained those stupid pills. I reluctantly took one using the frappuccino I was sipping. We walked around the mall, I absolutely hated every single dress Kelsey picked out.
*****
I was so happy! I couldn't wait for the date! Kelsey had picked out an absolutely beautiful dress. It was blue and tied around my back, leaving an X with a bow connecting it in the middle section of my back, I loved it so much! We bought the dress and headed back home, Caspar nor Joe were there. We headed downstairs to Kelsey and Joe's bathroom, where she put all of her stylish and obviously expensive makeup on me, better and prettier than I ever could've done myself.
"I'm so happy for you!" Kelsey exclaimed.
"Oh my gosh, is this really happening?" I looked at myself in the mirror exploring every aspect of my "new" face. Kelsey didn't put too much makeup on and I was glad that she didn't because I don't like it when girls' wear so much makeup they don't even look like themselves with it on.
"Okay, I'm going to go put my dress on." I turned to leave.
"Okay, but don't you dare mess up your makeup!" Kelsey shouted.
"I won't!" I yelled back.
I slipped on the dress, careful to not let it touch my face. I looked in the mirror and smiled, I felt pretty. I felt even beautiful for the first time in my life. I then left the bathroom and waited for Kelsey's reaction.
"Oh my god! You look beautiful!" Kelsey gasped as she saw me. I blushed and turned away.
"I'm nervous!"
"Don't be, when Caspar see's you he will be absolutely speechless, you look amazing!"
"Thanks." I chuckled. Kelsey talked for a while, waiting for Joe and Caspar. Kelsey went upstairs occasionally to see if they were ready or not. Finally, Caspar told Kelsey we wanted for me to come upstairs. She came down to me and told me that I could come upstairs, my stomach filled with butterflies. I breathed out a few deep breaths and walked upstairs, my heart still beat fast, but for once I knew the arrhythmia wouldn't take me over. Just as Kelsey had said, when Caspar saw me he became speechless. I felt his gaze on my skin, he looked down from my head to my feet.
"You done yet?" I blushed.
"Wow, Hazel..." Was all Caspar could muster, "You-You look... Amazing."
"Why thank you, Caspar, and I must say, you look quite handsome in that tuxedo." I replied, thankful we were alone. I stepped closer to Caspar and tugged slightly on his jacket. He then did something he hadn't done in a while, he kissed me.
"We'd better get going, we are walking to the restaurant after all." Caspar whispered.
"Let's go then." I smiled. Caspar took hold of my hand and we walked out the door. On our walk, we stopped along a pier, the view was beautiful.
Caspar's POV
Hazel was beautiful, and she looked happy. When she was looking at the view of the city from the pier, I stepped behind her and took a picture of her back. I posted the picture on Instagram with the caption: "She's my favourite."
