What to do? High school! #Thewattys2018

Chapter 18: Dan

DATE: 10/7/17

I get out of the car and walk into the hotel. I know that Megan and I are closer now than ever before and I really want to ask her out on a date. She's funny, smart, loving, and a really good person. I want to ask her out, but I have no idea how to make it romantic or anything like that. I was going to ask Alex what she would do, but then I thought that maybe Justin would have a better idea. Plus, Alex and Megan are close, and I don't want Alex to tell Megan. I walk into the elevator and take my phone out. I see there is a text from Alex saying that I needed to go to her's and Justin's room. I wonder what they want to talk about this time. I walk over to the door of there room and knock on the door. Alex answers it and pulls me in

"What was that for?" I ask as she pulls me in the door and I almost fall over. She looks like she has seen a ghost

"I need your help" she says

"With what?" I question

"Megan" she responds

"What happened?" I ask

"She really likes you but you know how she is, she's way to shy to say something" Alex says and looks at me. I've wanted to date Megan since I first met her, but I never acted on it because she's a little shy. I wish Megan would have told me sooner or told me herself because then I could have asked her out right then and there. I look over at Justin who is standing by the door for the balcony
"What should I do" I question
"I'm glad you asked" Justin and Alex say at the same time
———————————-
I walk out of the room and see Megan is standing at the end of the hall talking to March. They look like they're having a serious conversation but I promised Alex and Justin I would do this. I walk over and see March looks mad
"Hey girls" I say
"What" March asks
"Can I steal Megan for a few minutes? I need to ask her something about May" I say following the instructions Alex and Justin gave me
"No" March says
"It's fine, we can continue later" Megan says looking between March and I. I give a small smile when she looks my way
"Fine" March says "call me when you're done it's not that nice of a day so I'll be in my hotel room"
"Okay" Megan says. March remind me of Alex with the fact that they are both good friends with Megan. I mean, all of the girls are good friends, except the new girl Jessica. Something seems off with her, oh well. Megan and I walk away from March and into the elevator "so what's up Dan" she asks looking over at me
"I just wanted to know if you would like to go on a date with me" I ask
"I would love you" she says jumping up and hugging me. I hug her back and then look into her eyes when we pull away. I lean down and kiss her softly. This is my first kiss, but I'm  happy it's with Megan. When we pull away, she's smiling and so am I. I could live in this moment for the rest of my life, though I know I can't. Now I have to take her out and make sure it's the best date she's ever been on. I hope she likes what Alex, Justin, and I came up with for the date, because if she doesn't, I'm screwed big time
"You're cute" I tell her and she smiles more
"You're cute" she says back
"Be ready at 6:00 tonight" I say
"Okay" she says and we get off the elevator. She goes one way waving good bye and I walk the other way to the gift shop. I'm so excited
