I'm lying in my bed attempting to study when I get hear the vibration from my phone that means I've got a text message. Grinning at how unfocused I'm being, I decide that viewing one message can't hurt and walk across the room to check who's texting me.

You have one message from @john_orlando instagram alerts me, and heart beating a little faster in my chest I type in my passcode.

What are you doing? The message says, and I instantly reply; saying that I was studying. Math can wait, Johnny can't.

Awesome. He types. Want to come to the beach? I'm here now!

Of course, send me a picture of where you are! I write out with a small smile gracing my features.

A few minutes later I have a clear idea in my head of exactly where he is and after telling Maddie where I was going I'm off to see him. Soft, romantic music plays through my car radio as I drive slowly towards the beach, taking my time to observe things around me. It's only four o clock, meaning that school hasn't finished that long ago, and while driving I can see that there are many families heading to the exact same place as I am. Boogie boards, fishing rods and surfboards are strapped to the top of many peoples cars, making it obvious people are eager to get to the beach before the sun escapes.

Upon arriving at the beach I park my car in an empty space and shut off the engine. Opening the door, I step out onto the concrete and brush down my black miniskirt. It is winter, which made me decide to wear a thin yellow pullover as well. When my phone and keys are safely tucked into my pocket I begin walking to where Johnny is located without hesitation.

Many things plague my thought at seeing him again and the now ever present butterflies make an appearance. Biting my lower lip gently, I round the last corner before I spot him; seated on a log a few steps away from me.

"Hey." I say loudly, catching his attention, and he jumps up to come meet me.

"Hey!" He replies enthusiastically, snaking an arm around my waist almost as soon as he possibly can. Looking me up and down, a grin tugs up his mouth. "You look nice."

"Thanks." I blush, twining an arm around his back, "I appreciate it."

"Your complimenting skills are better I see." He teases, leading me back over to the log.

"They are." I grin back, too focused on his hand around mine to form a coherent thought train. When we're seated, I close my eyes in bliss. "How was your day–" I start to ask, before being cut off my his loud laughter. My eyes spring open in confusion, and I turn to him.

"You didn't even notice!" He continues to laugh, and It's then when I look around.

When I finally get why he's laughing, I feel a deep blush spread from my head to my toes. There, written in the sand just above my white converse, are the words:

Be my girlfriend, please?
