Chapter 8: P-R-O-M?

~Seto's POV~

After the announcement was over, I instantly knew who I was going to ask. I waited till after school to go home and get the supplies. I was on the bus again, but this time I wasn't talking to Skylar. She look back at me and smiled, making me instantly smile.

"You alright Seto?" I nodded and held up my book. "Just got to a... Strange part." She laughed and turned back around to Claire. I sighed heavily and looked down at the book. We got to Becca's stop, and her and Skylar left. Instantly afterwards her friends turned to me.

"Hello?" They all started smirking and jumped down on their seats, facing me. "Cut the crap Seto. We know you like her." I rolled my eyes and put my book away, I had a feeling I wasn't going to get to read again.

"Fine, but I know you guys already know." They started squealing, and some of the littler kids looked back at us. Emma waved her hand, and they turned around. "So, how long have you liked her?" I shrugged. I normally wouldn't feel comfortable talking to girls about my crush, especially if it was one of their friends, but I knew they were going to find out eventually.

"You should ask her out." I sighed. "I'm already planning on asking her to prom, what else do you guys want?" That shut them up. "Oh, then you'd better hurry. Colton's going to ask her tomorrow." I felt jealously come up into me. I must say, it's a weird feeling.

"Yeah, I figured." I acted like it was no big deal. "Dood! Skylar said that the first guy to ask her out she was going to say yes to, incase nobody else asks her! You have to go over to her house tonight!" I groaned and leaned back in my seat. I saw my stop coming up in the distance.

"I can't. I'm just going to do it tomorrow. At least tell her not to accept Colton's of all people." They nodded, and turned back around as my stop came up. We said goodbye and I left the bus stop, with Skylar's little brother behind me.

"Hey Seto. Do you like my sister." I chuckled at him and shook my head. I don't need him telling her about it. "Oh. Cause she likes you. She says you're her best friend." I smiled down at him. "Well than yes I like your sister. She's my best friend too." Cooper smiled, and grabbed my hand. Man this kid really knows how to make someone smile.

"Hey Cooper. How old did you say you were again?" Cooper smiled. "4!" I chuckled and picked him up. "You're walking in mud. I don't think your mom would like that, now would she?" I poked Cooper in the stomach, making him laugh.

"Cooper? Oh there you are. Hey Seto." I waved. "Hey Mrs. Rosewood." She smiled at me, and I set Cooper down. "Need any help tonight? I got no homework, so I need something to do." Mrs. Rosewood, or Karen, smiled and walked inside with Cooper. I followed her.

I took my shoes and jacket off, then went into the kitchen. "Would you mind chopping the onions?" I nodded and went over to get their cutting board. I've been here enough, I know it by heart.

"Your a really sweet boy Seto. Skylar's lucky to have you as her friend." I smiled and grabbed three onions from the fridge. I started chopping them up, and thinking of a way to ask Skylar to the prom.

"Hey Mrs. Rosewood?" She smiled and touched my shoulder. "Call me Karen, remember?" I nodded and continued chopping. "Well. I'm thinking of asking Skylar to the prom, and I don't know how to do it." I looked up at her to see what she does, and she just squeals.

"Oh, you two are so cute together." I smiled, awkwardly and embarrassed, and continued chopping, faster this time. "Any ideas?" I finished one onion and scooped the remains into the bowl.

"Well. When I was younger." Oh great. Long story. "I had a date to the prom, and he asked me by putting stickers all over my car. It was really cute to me, but it was a pain to get them off. How about putting balloons in her locker?" I shook my head.
