ZACH/GRASER10'S POV

Shelby has been staying here for a month now. And, I have feelings for her again. Now she's single, I don't know what to do. I really enjoy her staying here, but if I ask her to be my girlfriend and she says no, she might leave.
There was a knock at my door. "Hey, Graser?" said a girl's voice, "your mom wants to know if you want breakfast."
"Yeah, I'm coming." I opened the door to see Shelby standing there. We walked down to breakfast together in silence.

Josh was sitting at the table, a huge plate of pancakes and sausages in front of him. He smirked when he saw uscome in. "Hi Graser," he laughed.
"Shut up." I said, sitting down and getting a plate of food.
As we ate, mom came and smiled at us. "So what are you doing today?" She asked.
"We, we're going to, um, the park." Shelby said quickly. I raised my eyebrows at her. This was new to me, I had a video to record.
When I left to go up to my room and get ready, Shelby muttered to me, "I hope you don't mind."
Of course I didn't mind.

We left the house, and got in the car. I drove out of the street. "So why did you want to go to the park?" I asked.
"I-" she hesitated. "I just wanted to spend some time with you."
"You want to spend time with Graser10?" I laughed. "What would H say?"
She blushed. "Oh, be quiet. How do you put on the radio?"

We got to the park and left the car. We'd been to the park last week as well, so it wasn't new to Shelby.
I walked to the coffee kiosk. "Can I get you a drink?" I offered.
"I'd love a coke, thanks." She said.
We sat in silence, drinking our soda.
"Hey, Graser?" She asked.
I looked up, surprised. "Yeah?"
"Sorry."
I was really confused. "For what?"
"For being so blind. I was thinking the other day, about when I rang you to tell you about Parker and I. It's clear now, that..." she trailed off.
I looked away. "It's okay."
She took a deep breath. "Um, you know, I k-"
I interrupted her. The feeling was building up in me, my heart beating fast. "Shelby. I know what you're going to say. And honestly, I just want to get this out of my system."
"What?"
I looked straight at her. "Shelby, I really like you. In both ways. And-"
"Gra-Zach, would you be my boyfriend?"
I was taken aback. She was looking at me nervously, and her color turned from very pale to red.
"Yeah. Sure." I said shortly. She looked upset, and I immediately regretted what I said. "No, let me rephrase that. Yes Shelby. I'd love to be your boyfriend." I said.
She got up and hugged me. I stood up and wrapped my arms around her.

When I pulled away, her eyes were wet.

I promise I will never hurt you Shelby.
