*****************************************

Will's POV

I sighed as Dustin set the radio back into his dresser. He turned to me, "Sooooooo, are you gonna do it?"

I looked at him, bewildered, "Am I gonna do what?"

He rolled his eyes at me, "Sometimes your total obliviousness just blows my mind."

I looked at him for another moment. Oh. There was no way.

I shook my head swiftly, "No no no. I am not doing that!"

"Will, you're gonna do it whether you like it or not!"

"I refuse to do this!"

"Stop being a pussy! Do it!"

I started panicking. What if she doesn't want me? What if she says no?

Dustin grabbed my shoulder, "You okay man? You know it's not that big of a deal. If you don't want to ask her then don't."

I shook my head, "No, I want to. But I'm scared."

"She likes you. A lot. And I know she'll say yes."

I looked at him with a nervous grin, "She really does?"

"Really," he shoved me towards the window and opened it, "Now go and ask Lauren to be your Valentine or I will abduct her and bring her here!"

I lifted myself onto the windowsill, "Okay okay I'm going!" I laughed at him. He gave me a thumbs up and a purr as I landed behind a bush.  I grabbed my bike and silently zoomed down the street. I had walked past her house dozens of times on my way home from school. The little blue house. I loved that house. That house meant Lauren. It meant I was close to her.

I spotted her. She was sitting on her porch swing with a binder in her lap. It was only 2 hours after school and she was doing homework. I admired her for her dedication to her grades.

"Hey, Lauren!" I called out to her.

She looked up and met my gaze. She grinned widely, "Will! What're you doing here?" She asked, getting up from the swing.

"I came here to ask you something."

She laughed, "Of course I'll tell you what homework we have. History page 137, Science-"

I cut her off and shook my head, "No, I don't need the homework. But I'll tell Dustin cause he didn't bring anything to my house except a few candy bars," Lauren giggled.

"Well what in the world do you wanna ask me then?" Her eyes sparkled and I had trouble focusing.

I cleared my throat, "Well...um...I didn't bring anything with me..." I looked around, searching for something. Anything. A single dandelion had sprouted along the road.

"One second," I held my finger up and dashed over to the delicate plant and I plucked it out of the cracked pavement.

"Will what's going on?" Lauren laughed.

"Well, I don't have anything but this," I handed her the dandelion, "but I wanted to ask you something. I don't know how you feel about me, but I know how I feel about you. Will you be my Valentine?"

Lauren's grin broadened and she giggled melodically, "Of course," she reached around my neck and hugged me close. I held her lower back tightly as we hugged. The sky was turning to dusk as Lauren let go.

"You mean...you like me?"

"Yea. Actually I've always had a crush on you," Lauren looked at me nervously.

"You have?!"

She smiled, "Why wouldn't  I?"

"Well, I mean, I'm Zombie Boy. I'm the weirdo. I'm a...a freak," I looked down at my shoes.

Lauren reached out and lifted my chin tenderly, "You have only ever been Will to me," she whispered softly.

My face flushed red, "You're the first girl to ever call me Will after I went missing. Well besides Max."

"Well that's who you are. And whether you are Zombie Boy or Will, I will like you either way," she leaned in and brushed her soft lips against my cheek. My face got hot and she felt it. She giggled again. Her laugh was so beautiful.

"Well, I should probably get back to homework."

"Yea," I turned to leave, "I have to remember to tell Dustin to do that."

"Yeah, and say hi to him for me. Bye Will," she put her hand up.

"Goodnight Lauren."
