Heart on Fire

S.O.T.D HEART ON FIRE BY JONATHAN CLAY

YA'LL WILL LIKE THIS CHAPPIE ;)

"This thing is itchy" Seth grumbled yanking on the tie that I had painstakingly put on for him.

"You shoulda thought about that before you screwed your relationship up" I mumbled slapping his hand away and fixing the tie again.

"But why do we have to wear them?" Andrew sighed from the backseat. I looked to the back, despite my beating heart, and took in his black suit, minus the jacket, and tiffany blue tie which was Trish's favourite color. Chandler and Ethan were in similar outfits but Chandler had argued with me that he HAD to wear his coveted black bandana across his forehead and Ethan had to wear a bow tie.

"Its our style" Chandler had grumbled. In all honesty, they looked adorable. Even Andrew who refused to wear dress shoes and opted for his scuffed black converse.

"Why do I have to wear the hat?" Seth sighed once again flipping his fedora off, "Its hideous"

"Because you have to!" I plunked it back onto his head and hid a smile. He really didnt have to wear it but it was fun forcing him to, it was just my little bit of revenge. For what? I wasnt sure.

"Should we go over your lines again?" I was getting sweaty as the time neared for us to set our plan in motion.

"No, we get it" Andrew remarked finally getting out of the car and we followed suit.

"Here" Chandler handed Seth his guitar and grinned, "I can't believe I agreed to this"

"You really had no choice" I adjusted the tiffany blue scarf I had around my neck and fought with the black circle skirt around my waist.

"You look nervous..."

"Thanks Sherlock" I snapped at Andrew. To be honest, I was terrified. This plan could back fire and it would all be my fault.

"To be honest, I'm kind of scared too" Ethan let out a hoarse whisper as we crept towards the back of the restaurant, near the dumpsters and, subsequently, the kitchen, "What if she grabs an incoming plate of steak and chucks it at you"

"Seth, you said she loves the movie didn't you?" My eyes whip to Seth and he slowly nods.

"Atleast I think she did....she said it was cool once and she watched it like eight times on Netflix" He nervously pulled at his tie, "Oh my gosh, what if she was being sarcastic?"

"You better hope not" Andrew was the only one who didn't seem to be rethinking this entire thing.

"How are you so calm?" I whispered to him as Seth, Ethan, and Chandler began going over their lines and tuning the guitar.

"The way I see it, it could go one of two ways" He held up two fingers and grinned, "She could either jump up in joy and elation or smother him with a baked potato....either way he's going to get an answer; albeit one of them not being the one he wants"

I stared at him as he carelessly stuffed his hands into his pockets and strode over to the guys.

"It's now or never" He grumbled as Ethan's eyes widened.

"Wait what? No one told me we had changed the song!" He threw his hands up in frustration and Chandler gasped.

"I thought you said she hated High School Musical!" Chandler pointed an accusatory finger at Seth, "I don't even know the words to that one!"

"Calm down, calm down. No one changed anything" At Andrew's words, three pairs of eyebrows relaxed, "Everyone take a deep breath"

Even though his back was to me, I took a deep breath anyways.
