Say Yes

Michelle is a quiet, shy girl. She's got straight A's and is a smart honour student. However, she's always been pushing people aside, keeping secrets to herself. Her best friend, Liana, is the closest person who is able to understand her. Michelle has never had a boyfriend before and this is her senior year in high school. She has her eye on this boy, an athletic boy who plays football, for close to two years now. When he asks her to meet him at the library, what should she do? Reveal her feelings to Lucas and open her heart, or stay as the closed person she always has been...?

I pulled my hoodie over my head and hugged my books to my chest, trying to hide myself even more as I walked through the crowded hallways of school. My feet quickened their pace of their own accord as I sped-walk through the hallways to my best friends' locker.

I'm a shy girl, I hate attention. Literally. Whenever I'm in the limelight, my palms get sweaty, I look like an apple from the excessive blushing, I stutter, I get clumsier than I usually am, I stare at the ground... let's just say it's a terrible experience.

The world works in a funny way, though. The more you want to avoid something, the more you get it.

I didn't intend to be a staight-As honour student. Sports are some people's ace, academics just happen to be mine. I've been maintaining a 4.0 GPA and many would call me a teacher's pet out of spite but, it's what I do. Be smart. I don't have a tutor, I just read a lot. People kind of dislike me sometimes (most of the time), especially when the teacher gives out test papers - whether it is for us to take, or for us to review.

I ignore them though. Like a shy person always does, I avoid conflicts. Just hold my head down and take it silently.

Finally, I reach Liana's locker.

"Hi." I murmured quietly, wishing she wouldn't make much of a fuss. Maybe I should pull my whole hoodie over my head...?

"Hi Michelle." She slammed her locker shut, making me jump a little. She was about to go into her usual Liana-ramble - I could see the look in her eye that told me she was dying to tell me what happened last night. But then I looked into her baby blue eyes and she froze.

I gulped. This was not good.

Her eyes examined and explored mine thoroughly, and then I couldn't take it. I couldn't stand a stare with a person that lasted for more than 10 seconds. I looked at the ground, suddenly hating myself for my introverted personality.

"You got contact lens?" She asked, her voice coming out a little squeaky.

"Yeah, sure, what's the big deal?" I said in a rush to get the words out, realising that people were starting to stare at me.

"I thought you said you would never get them!" Liana broke out of her inspection-mode and became her usual bubbly, talkative self again. "Gosh, you look so pretty in them! I kept trying to persuade you to get them but you just wouldn't listen! I mean, your eyes look so pretty now, of course they looked pretty before but now they're like... WOW! And I'm kind of glad you got rid of your geeky chunky spectacles-"
