IT'S MONDAY. I swear five minutes ago it was Friday. I was in the library, it was my favourite place to go to. I could easily get my work and the environment brought to my mind in peace.

I looked outside the glass doors and spotted Asher laughing with his friends. I don't what it is but lately I have been feeling weird around Asher. I can't stop smiling, I get little tickles in my heart and I have zero idea why. I picked my phone and to look through my social medias. My eyes came comes across today's date. Sudden the realisation hit me tomorrow we have to present our project. We had already completed it but I am still anxious about how it is going to go. I packed my things and went to Asher.

"Asher, we go to talk" I grabbed his arm and pushed him aside. "Ouch! Slow down, princess" Asher said.

"Tomorrow is our project!!" I screamed. "Yeah I am aware but we have already prepared for it" Asher stated. 

"But still, what if we forgot something, what if something goes wrong, what if-" I fretted. "Woah! calm down, what about after school we revise and go through everything one last time" He suggested. 

I took a deep breath and replied "Okay, you're right thank you."

After school Asher took me to the same coffee shop for the project. We made sure everything was completed and revised three times.

"That's all I think we have covered everything" He assured. "I guess so..." I said in a low voice. "We are an overthinker, are we? He chuckled. 

"No." I narrowed my eyes. "Let's go" Asher got up.

"Alright." I followed him.

We were in the car and I noticed we aren't going the right direction. 

"Hmm you are not going the right direction" I pointed out.

"We are going out to eat some ice-cream" Asher grinned. "What?!" I look at him. 

"I owe you an ice-cream, remember you agreed too" He reminded me. "I- no- screw you I love ice-cream." I sat back.

We arrived to the ice cream parlour. I got excited but I tried to calm myself. 

"Which flavour ur would you like?" The shopkeeper asked.

"I'll have cookie dough!" I exclaimed. "Mint chocolate for me" Asher added. 

I was eating when Asher and said "Follow me." which I do because I have no other option. "Can you at least tell me where are we going?" I questioned. "Just follow me." He kept walking.

After a minute or two we reached a playground. "Okay..so we are going to take swings like nine year olds? I laughed. "Yeah" He grinned.

"Now get on the swing you are going to feel so relaxed after this." He said.

"You come here? Who knew the bad boy had a soft spot" I uttered.

"I am full of surprises, princess" He shrugged "Come on now"

"Okay.." I hesitated but carefully sat on the swing. "Be careful of my hair" I warned before hand.

"I will" He assured, before he pushed the swing. At first I was uncomfortable and was hesitated but soon it felt like a huge weight was lifted off of me. My hair was filled with wind. I felt like I was in my childhood again. I let go a huge grin on my face.

After a few minutes Asher pushes one more time and walked in front of the swing and said "Jump" 

"What no?!" I disgreed with his words. 

"Just trust me." He simply muttered. I without thinking let out go of the swing not knowing what will happen next but Asher caught me. I have no idea why but that was so fun. We both started laughing. After like an hour of being childish with him he finally drove me home. I smiled reflecting at day and fell asleep.
