No Matter What

Chapter 2

Chapter 2!

When I arrived at the park, I saw Zack sitting at our usual spot. Another guy was also with him. They were talking. I creased my face into a confused look. I decided to go over and see who that guy was.

'Hey Zack! Who's this here?' I asked, without getting a good look of the other guy's face. Suddenly, those familiar blue eyes was staring at me. Right into my eyes. It was Chris. I looked away, for fear of letting the cat out of the bag. My heart was almost about to stop. What was he doing here?

I shot a look at Zack which said 'What is he doing here?! You are so dead!' Luckily, he knew me enough to understand what I was driving at. He shrugged his shoulders.  

'Zack, do you mind if I just speak to Eveyn? Alone? Thanks bro, I have something to tell her.' Chris said in that oh-so-melty voice. I could feel my heart beating so wildly, I could almost get a heart attack.

I grabbed Zack's arm while he walked away. He didn't stop. I rolled my eyes. Reluctantly, I sat down on the bench. What did he have to tell me? God.

'Okay so here's the thing,' he started. He took a deep breath, then continued, 'I've had a crush on you since forever. I finally got all my courage together and decided that I had to tell you today. Happy Birthday, and will you go out with me?'  

Wait. It was my birthday? Looks like I had forgotten.. Again. And was this a dream?!  

I pinched myself. 'Ow,' I whispered. Okay, so it was NOT a dream.

'Why'd you do that for?' Chris asked.  

'Well, I thought.. That I was dreaming. I feel the same way about you too, and I'd be glad to go out with you.' I managed to spit out. Chris smiled and hugged me. 'Thank you.' he said. Following that, he stood up, smiled one last smile at me, and walked away.  

I still couldn't believe what just happened. It was really like a dream.

'Eveynnnnn!' Zack walked back over. 'So how was it? You freaked out, I suppose. Chris had been planning this for months now,' came his words.  

'You planned this and you didn't tell me. Yeah. What kind of friend are you? I'm just kidding. You're awesome.' I told him.

He squeezed me into a tight hug.  

'HAPPY BIRTHDAY!' he screamed.  

'Not so loud! Do you want the whole world to know?!'  

'Yes, in fact I do.'

People were staring at us. I blushed and looked away. When I looked at Zack again, he was holding an envelope. 'Open it,' he said.  

With a curious expression, I opened it up only to find.. 

GREYSON CHANCE CONCERT TICKETS. I started screaming and jumping up and down. 'ZACK! THANK YOU SO SO SO SO MUCH! YOU'RE THE BEST FRIEND A GIRL COULD EVER WISH FOR!'

This was the best birthday EVER.
