Miles meets me and Maya as we walk into school. We've known Miles for five months now, and we've all gotten pretty close to each other.
"Hey Riley, hey Maya" he greets us, smiling. I smile back.
Maya hurries off to her locker, leaving me with Miles.
"Hey Riley," he says, "I need to ask you something"
He gets interrupted by the bell ringing. "Um.." he says turning to me, "Later?"
"Yah sure" I say, smile at him, then run off to class.

I. Can't. Concentrate.
I'm sitting here in Maths pretending to listen. If the teacher asks me a question, I'm dead. I'm. So. So. So. Distracted. Whyyyyyyyyyyyy.
I haven't seen Miles all day in between classes, and today I don't have any class together with him. I just can't wait for school to be over.

One more class. You can do this Riley.
Situation: walking to last class of the day. I. Cannot. Think. Straight.
Maya walks with me, we both have Spanish as our last class today.
She steps in front of me, forcing me to stop walking.
"What is up with you Riley?" She asks. "Nothing" sidestepping her.
She lets me pass and doesn't try to block me again, but I know she knows something is up. Of course she knows something is up. She's Maya, I'm Riley. We're besties.
As I enter the classroom, my text tone sounds. I look at my phone.
Meet you in Topanga's after school :) -Miles
I smile, happy I just had to survive one last class.

I tell Maya after school that I need to run an errand then rush off to Topanga's to meet Miles. Wait. I should've asked Maya to come. I. Can't. Stop. Shaking. Whyyyyyyyyyy.
I reach the door of the bakery and push it open, seeing Miles in our usual spot.
I sit down and say, "Hey!" He turns to me, his face lighting up.
After a few drinks and some small talk he turns to me and says,
"Riley, I'm gonna ask you something"
"Okay..." I reply hesitantly.
What. On. Earth. Is. He. Gonna. Ask. Me.
"So, um.... I'm not so sure how to say this..." He continues ...
Please. Just. Get. On. With. It.
"Yah, I know I've only known you for about six months, and we've already become kind of close. It's really nice being friends with you and all, but..."
Come. On.
"I like you, like, you know. I have feelings for you."
Oh. My. God.
"There, it's out, and what I'm actually trying to say is....
Is he gonna ask what I think he's gonna ask???
"Riley"
No. Way.
"Will you go out with me?"
