Before Our Hearts Bleed

~Please, Take My Hand, Dear~

I was quite surprised that Kate liked me back. I was all to sure that she only viewed me as a friend. I was wrong. We were both crushing on each other and I couldn't wait to pop the question. She told me she was bisexual so I knew I still had a chance with her. I couldn't wait. I had to ask her. Would she go out with me? There was only one way to find the answer to that question; ask her. That's exactly what I did the next class period. I told my friend to tell her that I wanted to date her. She came into the next period class with my friend with a grin on her face. My friend kept talking making things more awkward and I tried to tell her to shut up. Before I could say anything Kate said, "Aww. I get it, William. I'll think about it." She laughed and walked off. I was thinking: What could that mean? Does that mean no but in a nice way? I don't even know. My heart was racing and I didn't want her to reject me. What if she had someone else in mind? I had to many questions that I wanted myself to answer, so I emailed her. I typed, "What do you say?" She didn't respond yet. So I waited for a response that would either break my heart or make my heart pound with happiness.
