i fixed my hair one last time in my rear view mirror before getting out of the car. i walked up to the door before setting down the stuff in my hands and wiping the sweat off my palms. before i could ring the doorbell someone opened the door and came out. i let out a sigh of relief when it wasn't gracen.
"hi, i'm gracen's mom, you can call me ashley or mrs. c or whatever you're comfortable with"
"hi ma'am i'm grayson it's so nice to meet you."
"so you're the one my daughter is always texting and talking about."
"um... i guess so yeah." i said while staring at my feet and blushing over the fact that gracen talked about me to her mom.
"ok so i know what you're here for and let me tell you she's gonna be so excited! let me go tell her to get ready. i'll tell her we're going to the mall or something i'll be right back! ahh i need to get the video camera too!"

"gracen!" i called up the stairs.
"what?" was shouted down in response.
"get ready we're gonna go shopping and out to lunch!"
"so do i need to look presentable or can i wear sweatpants?"
"please try to look presentable."
all i heard next was a groan, a loud thump, and another groan.
"are you ok?" i questioned.
"i don't know anymore."
"ok well be quick please."

as i stood in the driveway i could hear the yelling inside. i laughed as i heard gracen fall out of bed and onto the floor, yes it was that loud. my palms were still sweaty and i kept looking back at ethan who sat in the car with our camera. every time i looked at him he gave me a thumbs up of encouragement but it wasn't helping very much.
i was so nervous because even though we've never met in person, i still really like her and want to impress her. i'm always thinking about that one selfie she sent me and how beautiful she looked. man, i can't believe how lucky i am to even be talking to such a beautiful person. she's kind, and funny, and sarcastic and i've never found someone i liked this much. all of the sudden i heard her mom yell, "i'll be waiting in the car for you when you're ready!" and i knew that she must be coming soon.
the door opened and her mom walked out with a huge grin on her face. i smiled back but it wasn't a totally happy one, more nervous than anything. she seemed to pick up on the apprehensive tone as she came over and rubbed my back while saying, "don't worry so much! you look fantastic and she's going to say yes!" i nodded but didn't say anything. i took a deep breath and then heard the door handle start to turn. my eyes flew open and i ran to get my supplies from the porch. she must have left something in her room or wanted food or something because she still hadn't come outside and i let out a sigh of relief as i hadn't been ready the first time. i heard the video camera begin to record and all of the sudden the door opened as wide as possible.
