I narrow my eyes in his direction.
With clinched teeth I say, "Grayson."
"Yes, Sunshine?" He smiles.
I sigh. "I know all of this is some sick prank. You can quit the act, doofus."
"Act? Sunshine, this is no act." He gestured at himself.
I pick up my tray and proceed to a different empty table, where he follows.
He scoots closer to me and wraps his arms around my waist. "How about...." he trails off in his words, "How about a date. Tonight. At..." there he goes again, trailing off in the most attractive way possible.
"You like Italian, Sunshine?"
"Yes..."
"Good. It's a date."
"Why would you want to go on a date with me? I'm not pretty.."
"That can be debated on."
I squirmed around a bit.
Grayson got up and moved back to his friend's table. But throughout the rest of lunch, I could always see him staring back at me.
When 7th period rolled around I received a letter in my locker. It was from Grayson.
"Meet me at this address:
1364 Blue Fish Ave. <3"
The top of his doodle heart was a little uneven and I couldn't help but smile at it. I glanced at the other end of the hallway to see Grayson watching me read his sweet paper-message.
