The 5 months went by in a blur. I talked with Maddie during class, hung out with her, Bryce, and his friends during lunch, and spent time with Bryce after school. The day before I went to 4OU, he decided to surprise me after class and take me to this amazing little cafe down the street from school. I swear, that boy is literally made of candy, he's so sweet.

"I can't wait for you to see what I've planned for our next date on Tuesday," I say, snuggling up next to Bryce.
"Hey...you planned the last one! Shouldn't I be planning this one?" he asks, putting his arm around me and pulling me closer.
"Well, I figured since you're planning something for the dance it'd only be fair something if I did something extra special," I say, booping his nose with whipped cream from my hot chocolate.
"Mmm...nose cream," he says, wiping it off his nose and eating it. "My favorite," he grins. Goodness, that smile makes me melt. And those eyes. And those lips. Should I...?
Bryce's POV
Gosh, this girl is gorgeous. The way her green eyes shimmer with wonder and the rosiness in her cheeks. And the way she bites her lip. Come on Bryce...just do it dude.
I lean in slowly and I see her start to lean in too. Before our lips can touch, Brina's phone rings, pulling us out of our moment.
"Oh my gosh I...I'm so so so sorry b..but this is Liza so I should..um..." she stutters, blushing wildly.
"Don't worry about it, go ahead," I say, running my hands through my hair. Goodness grief, I worked up all that courage just to have to do it all again. What does she even see in me? God I'm such an oddball. I bet she's just dating me because she feels bad for me or something. I bet I'm just one of those guys that's destined to be lonely or somethi-
"Bryce?" Sabrina asks, shaking my shoulder.
"Oh, did you say something beautiful? I'm so sorry I didn't hear you," I say, trying to save myself from embarrassment. Too late.
"Oh don't worry about it babe," she says with that supermodel smile of hers. "Liza was just calling me telling me that I should probably get ready for tomorrow even though it's like...3:30 in the afternoon. You know how she gets," she laughs.
"Oh no problem. I can walk you home," I say, taking my last sip of hot coffee before getting up.
"Thanks. And by the way, I can't chill with you tonight but I'll definitely FaceTime you. Plus, you gotta help me pick an outfit for tomorrow," she says smirking.
"Baby you know I think you look beautiful in everything," I say, holding her face in my hands and pressing my forehead to hers.
"Um...Bryce?" she asks, her green eyes getting brighter.
