I was happy when I woke up the next morning.

The sun seemed brighter, the sky seemed bluer... If that's even a word.

Last night was the best date ever.

Since Drew practically destroyed what he set up, we decided to go to a restaurant instead.

I jumped into the bath tub to shower. I played 'shower' by Becky G.

The song fit my mood perfectlyn

You light me up inside like the fourth of July.

Whenever you're around, I always seem to smile.

An people ask me how.

Well, you're the reason why I'm dancing in the mirror and singing in the shower

When I was done, I quickly dressed up in a white tee with overalls and went to school.

The first person I saw at school was Drew. He was waiting for me at the parking lot.

''Hey'' I greeted him when I came down.

''Hi''

I hugged him tightly and took in his scent.. I'm a creep, I know.

We walked into school with his hands around my shoulders.

People stared at us. Some even pointed and whispered which was really starting to irk me.

''People are staring'' I whispered.

''I know''

We stopped at my locker so I could get my books out.

''It's creeping me out''

''It's fun. I'm glad I could show off my girlfriend''

What? Did he just say?

''Did you just say girlfriend?" I asked for confirmation.

''Yeah, why?''

''I never thought.... ''

''I didn't kiss you last night to be just friends with you''

''You never asked''

He sighed.

''Will you, Bella Martins make me the happiest guy in this town by being my girlfriend?''

I put my finger under my chin, pretending to be in deep thought.

''I'll think about it'' I teased.

''Come on''

The bell rang, signalling that I have to get to class.

''My answer is yes'' I told him as I shut my locker.

He grinned widely.

''Bye girlfriend''

I stood on my tiptoes and kissed him quickly on the lips.

''Bye boyfriend''

I waved at him then went to class. My smile turned into a frown. It was maths class.

This man kept talking about something in algebra.

''That's how you find x''

My math teacher rambled on about something I didn't understand.

I got bored so I scrolled through my news feed on Instagram.

A text from an unknown number came on my screen.
