It was just another boring Sunday and Katie was sat at home flicking through Facebook and Twitter when a message popped up from her crush Michael. Over the moon with joy she rang her best friend Lily even though she had not yet opened the message.
"Omg omg what does it say?!" Lily shouts at me down the phone but I'm way to scared to open his message and in shock he's even messaged me to reply. "KATIE?" she shouts louder this time making me jump.
"Umm, yeah?" I stutter still overcome with awe.
"Why don't you open it?!" she screaches.
"Erm okay?" I say nervously.
So closing one eye I quickly click on the message and I can't believe my eyes...he has asked me out on a date, me, he picked me!
"Lily?" I say cautiously.
"Yeah?" she says after sighing rather suddenly.
"HE ASKED ME OUT! " I cry with joy.
"OH MY GOD NO WAY!?" She shouts.
"Yeah" I say with the stupidest grin ever on my face.
"Omg text me everything" she says and hangs up as her mum was calling her.
I have no idea what to say, I've been dreaming about this for so long and finally it's happened. I thought it was all in my head but maybe he does like me. So I message him back saying "Yeah sure" trying to sound as causal as possible so I don't sound desperate, he messages back straight away saying "Okay cool, pick you up at 6". That's in two hours, I have so much to do!

After a manic 2 hours of getting ready to go on my date with Michael I finally look good...for once, I've put on my favourite pair of skinnys, a band top, a hoodie and my converse applied a little make up and curled my hair so I don't seem like I've put too much effort in. I've gone for a causal look. I hear the doorbell ring and rush down stairs, I open the door and am wowed instantly. He looks gorgeous, black skinnys, checkered shirt, vans and his hair crazy as usual but I like it.
"You look stunning" he says smiling.
"Thanks" I say trying to hide a smile but failing.
"Ready?" he says.
"Ready" I say nodding slightly.
He takes my hand and walks me to his car and opens the door for me to get in like a true gentleman, I can't believe it, I'm off on a date with Michael Clifford.
We arrive at a small but beautiful restaurant after a ten minute drive and the path is all lit with tiny fairy lights giving it a sort of magical feel. Michael takes my hand and leads me up to the entrance as we go in he squeezes my hand to let me know it will be okay which I find kind of sweet.
"You okay?" he says looking me straight in the eyes.
"Yeah I'm good" I say smiling.
"Good, I'm glad you came" he says blushing slightly.
"Me too" I say and squeeze his hand slightly.
The waitress takes us over to a table for two all layed out ready with candles in the centre making it feel all romantic. Michael pulls my chair out for me like a true gentleman and I sit down, he holds my hand across the table as we look at the menu. We both order a hamburger and chips with a coke as it's our favourite and talk quietly while we waiy for our drinks to arrive.

Our drinks arrive and shortly after so does our food. It looks good!
"Mmm delicious! " exclaims Michael after taking his first bite from his burger.
"Yeah it's sooo yummy!" I reply.
We devour our dinner in no time at all and decide to order a pudding to share, a triple chocolate sundaé. It looks devine and tastes it too! When we have finished Michael pays for the whole lot despite my efforts to try and split the price between us, he is so sweet.

We make small talk on the way home and as we pull up outside he gets out the car and opens my door for me.
"I had an amazing night" he says smiling.
"Me too" I say blushing.
He wraps my arms around his neck and puts his around my waist and we stand there hugging, he's warm and smells good. He leans out and looks me straight in the eyes and I gaze into his gorgeous green eyes. He leans in and before I know it we are kissing, so soft and delicate. We stand there for ages his lips on mine, he tastes good. We take a breath and look at one another and I giggle but then carry on. I'm in heaven.
"I have to go" I say sadly.
"Okay" he says reluctantly.
"Wish I didn't" I say.
"Same, I will take you out again soon though, I'll message you" he says grinning.
"Okay I'll look forward to it" I say with a cheeky wink.
He kisses me on the forhead and watches me walk up the path to my house, I wave until the car disappears round the corner. I can't believe it, I just kissed Michael, I am over the moon and he wants to see me again!
