The New Guy In My School -Completed-

07- Don't Be A Coward

~Luke's P.O.V~

I woke up smiling, today is the day when I'm gonna confess my small crush on Alice. I'm gonna tell her that I like her.. And ask her out on a date. Then I started thinking of what could possibly happen if she rejects me.. A lot of questions made their way to my head.

What if things become awkward between me and her? What if we stopped talking forever? What if our good friendship ends? Who am I going to hang out with? Alice and I have been friends , and it's fun to spend time with her.. I don't want it to end.

Then my 'cheer up' side showed up -which I'm thankful for-.

'You can't not ask her, what if your feelings get bigger? What if you fall for her later and you can't tell her how you feel about her because she got a boyfriend or you were too afraid to even speak to her? That's when things become awkward! Now go change and get ready, you don't wanna be late, huh? And ask her! Don't hesitate. '

Well, my 'cheer up' side isn't THAT great.. But I find it good enough to encourage me and all. I foumd what he said true, if I keep my small crush inside, I don't know what will happen in the future.. Yupp, I'm gonna ask he today. It's setteled.

I looked at myself in the mirror when I finished getting ready for school. I realised then that I was trying to make myself look extra perfect to impress her. Gotta look good for this day.

I looked at my bag to make sure I have everything I need, got my keys and hoped in the car. I parked my car in the usual place. Once I entered the school, I went searching for Alice and Steph, I bet they're standing next to Alice's locker, because I always find them there. And I was right.

'Good Morning!' I greeted with a smile on my face.

'Morning.' They both said grinning.

We talked a little bit before going to our first class.

I kept thinking of a way to ask her this simple question. But I always start saying that maybe I shouldn't ask her. This rejection thingy keeps popping up in my head. But then I remember what could possibly happen if I stay a coward and keep my small crush inside.

At the end of the class, I made up my mind. I'm gonna ask her when we're in the cafeteria. This will make things quick.

I waited and waited for the bell to ring. My heart was beating fast every single minute. I felt like I was gonna propose!

Then I heard what I was waiting for. The ring that I have been dying to hear. It's time.

I hurried to my locker, put my books in it, closed it and rushed to the cafeteria. Let's end this thing. It's now or never. I looked at our usual table, I didn't see Alice nor Steph. Well, maybe running and all wouldn't make things faster like I thought. I sat waiting for them. Then I saw them entering. Gosh! She looks so perfect! I realised that I was staring because she gave me a confused look. I cleared my throat then shrugged like it was nothing. She smiled and started talking about how her exam was easy and how annoying the girl sitting next to her was because she kept poking her so she tells her the answer. Alice really does hate it when someone distracts her during the class.

I kept trying to ask her the question that has been on my mind since yesterday. But I couldn't, because both of them would find a new subject to talk about and I can't just cut them off. Then they stopped. It was my chance.

"Alice?" I started.

"Yes..?" She looked at me frowning. I just smiled to make her know that it's nothing bad.

"Well, I was wondering if-..".

Then we heard it. The bell rang. She grinned and got up and excused herself. Yupp, I forgot she hates being late. Right. I lost my chance. Once I thought that was it and it was gonna end soon then this fucking bell ruined it!
