Pick Up Line

I was not feeling very good that day. I had lowered my grades, My friends were all talking about prom and I had planned to stay home. I was walking to my French class when I bumped into a cute guy and he fell. I helped him up and he gave me a leaf. I said to him "You do know this leaf was on the ground, right?" He smiled and said "Yea I know. I picked it up when I was falling for you." I smiled and he walked me to my class. I was in class and I couldn't stop thinking about him. I got the leaf out of my binder and noticed that some writing had seeped through the leaf. I turned it around and it said "Do you want to go to prom with me?" I smiled. After class, I saw he was waiting for me. He smiled when he saw me and asked what my answer was. I said yes. He walked me to my car. My mom was questioning me all the ride home.
