Mike's pov

"Dude you have to tell her, you can't just keep it to yourself." Golden said. "What are you talking about?" I asked. "Maggie, you idiot." Golden said. "What about her?" I asked. "Omg, just admit it Mike. YOU LOVE HER!" Golden shouted. "Dude what the hell, that's not true." I replied. "Bruh, when you 2 are close. You guys blush so hard that your faces are like tomatoes, just tell her." Golden said as I felt my cheeks get warm. "Dude even if I want to, do you really think it's that easy?" I replied. 

"Dude, I've done this before remember?" Golden asked. Last year Golden had a crush on a girl and took 3 months to confess to her. However, she had to go to another country for her studies. "Look dude, I'm not trying to force you to confess to her. But I want you to think about it yourself." Golden said. "Well, I'm going back to work. Think about it Mike." Golden said as he continued his work. I should listen to golden, he's been through those kind of problems before. But do I love her, no it's not do I love her. But does she even like me?

Maggie's pov

"Maggie, we need to talk for a minute." Mary said seriously. "What is it?" I asked. "I want to talk about a friend of yours and his name starts with M." Mary said. M...Mike? "Are you referring to Mike?" I asked. "Yes, yes I am. Maggie just admit it." Mary said staring directly onto my eyes. "Admit what?" I asked. "*Inhale* You love him." She said. W...WHAT?! "W... What?! What do you mean by that?" I said almost panicking. "Maggie, your love for him is so obvious that even a blind person could tell." She said. "It's... n...not true. We're just friends Mary." I protested. "Oh, then explain why does your face look like a red chilly when you are near him?" She asked raising one of her eyebrows. 

"Uh...um." I stuttered trying to protest again but failed. "That's what I thought. Maggie just tell him." She persuaded. "No! I can't, what if he doesn't even like me." I said as my cheeks started burning. "Maggie trust me it's ok. I've seen different kind of guys before and Mike is one of the few I would trust if he was my friend." She said but I still wasn't convinced. "Maggie *sigh* Look just try and don't worry. I'm always her to help." She said. 

"Oh...ok I guess, but what should I even do?" I asked. Before Mary even answered, I felt my phone vibrate. I picked it up and went to check what it was. I got a message from Mike?! "Who is it, Is it Mike?" Mary asked. I slowly nodded my head. "This could be good, let's check what he said." Mary said moving next to me.

Mike: Hey Maggie are you free tomorrow, I wanna bring you somewhere. Is it ok with you?

"Yes! This is perfect." Mary exclaimed. "But w... what should I reply?" I asked. "Here, type what I say."

Me: So you mean like a date?

Mike: Yeah, sort of like a date.

Me: Yeah sure I'm free, how does 6pm sound?

Mike: That's fine with me, I'll pick you up at 6pm. Seeya later.

"OMG THIS IS PERFECT!" Mary shouted like she hit a jackpot at a casino. "So, what do I do now?" I questioned. "Don't worry I can help." Mary replied.

Mike's pov

Well, it's worth a shot I guess. Huh, I got another message. It was from dad

Dad: Hey Mike the 86 is done, I've added a new engine which has more power than the last one.

Me: Sweet, thanks dad.

Dad: No problem, I'll bring it home in a about an hour.

Me: Ok seeya

Sweet the 86 is done but what should I do about the date. I better hope I have something good to wear.

The next day 5.30 pm

Maggie's pov

Mike is about to pick me up soon and Mary is currently helping me but on some make up. I decided to wear a pink dress, white shoes and some basic make up. "Alright, Maggie we're done and my god do you look good." Mary said. "Uh...Thanks." I replied. "Mike must be glad he is going on a date with a beautiful girl like you." Mary said smirking. "Mary shut up." I said embarrassed.

Mike's pov

Alright, it's almost time. I decided to wear a white shirt, black pants, a dark blue hoodie and styled my hair a bit. I know that these kind of clothes aren't what you would wear to a date but I don't have very fancy clothes. Plus my dad said that wearing these kind of clothes are find. I went to check the time on my watch and it was 5.45pm. Guess I better go. "Ok dad, I'm going now." I said as I got the keys to the 86. "Ok Mike, good luck kiddo." My dad replied. "Alright, that's dad." I replied as I left the house and got into the 86. 

As I was driving to Maggie's how to pick her up, I decided to test the 86. While driving, I realized that the amount of power it was almost the same as the Z. Thought it was a bit slower than the Z, there wasn't a very big difference in power. Just by a noticeable about. Enough of this I need to pick her up.
