“Way to go, Stace!!” Laura, my teammate, and captain, high-fived me. “You’re getting better at your spikes and services, practice more and we’ll beat those Vesta High freaks!”

Trish nudged me and whispered, “You lucky bitch! Look who’s waiting for you outside.”

“Who?”

“Ethan, who else? Hurry up! Go!” She pushed me outside the gym. Ethan is our school’s swimming captain, okay I’ll go straight to the point. HE IS H-O-T.

 I stumbled forward, almost knocking out Ethan. He caught me by the elbows and helped me straighten up.

“Hi.” He said.

I smiled. “H-hi Ethan, what’s up?”

He flashed me one of his heart-melting smiles. “Well...if you’re not busy tomorrow...” He placed his right hand behind his neck, “Uh, do you want to hang-out or something? Oh, you know, the typical stuff?”

He looks so cute when he’s nervous, with all his blabbering nonsense.

I chuckled, “So you’re asking me out on a date?”

“Kind of? If it’s okay with you, if it’s not okay with you, it’s alright.”

I covered my mouth just to stop laughing, “Okay.”

“Oh it’s fine, maybe next time then...”

Then Ethan’s eyes suddenly got bigger, after realizing what I just said. “Wait, what did you say?”

I laughed, “I said yes.”

“Really? Wow! Okay then, uhm, what time will I pick you up then?”

“Is six okay for you? This is embarrassing to say, but my dad likes me home at eleven.”

“Yeah, sure! No problem, see you tomorrow!” He waved me goodbye and ran away fist pumping the air.

I chuckled.

When I opened the door to the gym, my teammates stumbled to the floor.

“You guys were listening?” I shouted, embarrassed.

They stood-up and shrieked, until my ears bled.

“Guys!” I yelled. “Stop it! He might hear us!”

“They were all talking at the same time, that my head was hurting.

Trish shushed them all and asked, “We demand all the details after the date? You hear?”

“Fine! Just shut up, all of you.” I walked towards the bleachers and fixed my things, I can finally go home and take a nice warm bath.

They are not only my teammates, they’re also my best friends. This is my first time being asked out by a guy, no wonder they want to hear everything!

I asked my parents about the date when I got home. They were a bit reluctant at first but at the end, they finally gave in. The next day, I asked all three of my friends to come-over and help me pick an outfit. After hours of matching clothes, we finally agreed on one dress. The moment I wore the dress, they were all in awe, I’m not exaggerating. I wore a black short sleeve lace inset dress, it is one of my favourite casual dresses and I really hope Ethan likes it. They insisted to do my make-up so I let them, because they kept on begging me so I had to say yes for the sake of my ears.
