The Question

As soon as Japanese class finished it was recess break time. Everyone sat down at the cafeteria talking. As usual there was a separate table for the jocks, so called 'popular people' and spots for everyone else.Of course, Jennifer and I would always sit together just around a table for four.

Jennifer and I started talking and we saw a poster catching our eye, reading 'SCHOOL FORMAL, THIS SATURDAY!!!'. We simultaneously asked "Who are you gonna dance with hmm...?" She went first. "I just wish Jayden asked me. I really want it so so bad." "Don't worry, it'll happen". I replied with a lot of hope. "I already know who u wanna ask Ary. It's gonna happen as well". She said. "In fact here he comes." She continued. I looked behind me just to see Jayden and Eren walking towards us.

"Sup people." Jayden started. "Hey guys." Jennifer, twisting her hair, attempted to flirt back to them.

"Hi Aryana." Eren said smiling. I replied just simply saying "Hello". Jayden grabbed Jennifer by the arm and said "We'll leave you two alone..." Jayden said walking away with Jennifer. Jennifer turned around, smiled then winked at me. I waved back and then winked back at her.

"So Aryana...." Eren said. "Yeah?" I replied wanting him to continue. "Well...the school formal was coming up and...umm...maybe we could go together..."he continued stuttering a little. I was completely overjoyed but couldn't find the correct words to say yes. "Sure". I responded. I felt so stupid.

His face then lit up and he kept on smiling. I wanted to say I like you but I didn't want to say it first.

Jayden and Jennifer returned and came to us. Jayden whispered into Eren's ear and Jennifer whispered in mine. She asked me "How did things go", and I replied "Amazing!!!".

As soon as school finished I started walking home. It was a good walk until my rival Raquelle came along. "Hi Aryana," she said in a mischievous voice. "Raquelle, what do you want?"I answered back annoyed. "Oh nothing. I just hear that you are going to the dance with Eren..." She added. "So what do you care?" I questioned. "It'll be a shame if you couldn't dance with him" she continued. "What do you mean?"I asked. "Let's say if some thing happened to you or him on the day". She threatened. "I completely hate Eren and I completely hate you two so I call you the hatred couple" she added more.

"Shut up Raquelle! The only reason you do this is because your jealous." I ordered. "Of course not. Like I said before, I completely hate both of you." She said. I just ran away until she was out of my sight.

As I lost her, I thought about what she said. I promised myself that I won't let anything get in my way from letting her hurt him. Everything she does hopefully happens to me. I will protect Eren no matter what.

When I got home I wrote down everything that Raquelle said in my diary so I wouldn't forget what happened.

That night as I was about to go to bed, I couldn't stop remembering what Raquelle said. I had a heap of pictures and bad thoughts in my mind. I went to sleep hoping that I get a fresh start and better day tomorrow. As long as I have Eren in my mind I can feel safe...but something tells me that feeling may slowly droop away.
