I looked around and my eyes met Ally's. She looked at me with a knowing smile, weird. I looked back ahead of me and saw Grayson standing in the middle of the field with flowers in his hand. He started to make his way towards me and now everyone was staring. 

As he got closer my knees started to feel weak. When he finally reached me he began to speak

Blake," he started "I messed up big time. I wanted to start off by saying I am sorry. Three months ago I made the biggest mistake of my life. I let the girl I was interested in get away from me. But the thing is that girl didn't even know I felt because I was too scared. I was too scared to open up and get hurt again. I never should have let you go. These past months were the worst of my life because I didn't have you there with me. I wan't to go back to the way things were before I fucked up, but I also want more, I want to spend all my free time with you, I want to take you on dates, and give you my sweatshirts, I want you to be with me and only me, I may be getting ahead of myself but I don't care. Blake, will you be my girlfriend?"

I was almost speechless, everything else around me had seemed to disappear, because all the mattered was the guy standing in front of me, "Of course," I laughed as my eyes started to tear up, "I'm surprised it took you this long." 

"Oh shut up," he laughed pulling me into a hug. I finally felt relaxed, like a thousand tons had been lifted off my shoulders. We held each other for what felt like forever, I never wanted to let go of him. 

When we pulled away there was a genuine smile on his face. 

I can't believe it, Grayson Dolan actually likes me.

As soon as we reached the gate Ally was there to greet us. 

"OMG! I can't believe I kept it a secret for that long!' she squealed hardly containing her excitement.

"That long?" I say questioning her.

"I literally told her this morning," Grayson laughed. 

"Well that's actually pretty good for Ally," I laughed. Ethan threw his arm around Ally and Grayson threw his around mine. 

"Come over my house tonight, I'm finally read to tell you what happened. 

"Really?" I stopped looking up at him. 

"Truly," he replied smiling. In that moment I didn't care that people may have been watching or that we both probably smelt like BO, because I had him and that's all the mattered. I grabbed his neck and pulled his lips down to mine connecting them. Pulling back I smiled and we continued to walk, my senior year finally seemed to be going to way I wanted it to.
