"Will you go to Winter Ball with me?"

I look slowly to my right and analyze my surroundings. Then to left. Then up. Then down.

"Um, what are you doing?" JB asks. He's still holding out the flowers and muffin basket.

I keep looking around. "I'm just trying to figure out whether you're trying to prank me or something."

"NIKITO."

My attention goes straight to JB. He looks frustrated. "Am I really that hard to believe?" He takes a step toward me. "I'm asking you to the Winter Ball, Kito."

"Well," I say taking the bouquet of flowers. "It depends..."

"On what?" JB looks alarmed.

I narrow my eyes. "Depends whether those muffins are banana nut."

JB is silent. He stares at me before dropping the basket and whipping the cloth off of it.

"Um..." I say reaching out for him.

JB grabs a muffin and takes a large bite of it. He shakes his head as he swallows. "OAT BRAN!" He tosses the muffin back into the basket. "I should have remembered your favorite flavor was banana nut..."

I can't help but grin sympathetically. "Hey, Jaebum?" I had to interrupt his punches in the air. Maybe after this I'll encourage him to pick up boxing. Seems like he has a talent for it.

"What?"

I pick up the muffin JB tossed into the basket and take a bite. "I like oat bran."

"Huh?"

"I would be happy to go to Winter Ball with you." I take another big bite of the muffin.

JB smiles and takes the muffin away from me. "I don't know if I want to take someone who takes such large bites."

I grab back the muffin and stuff the rest into my mouth.

"When is Winter Ball anyways?" I ask after swallowing.

JB gives me a dumbfounded look and smacks the back of my head. "Are you really a girl!?"

"Hey!" I yell. "Maybe I won't go with you after all!"

JB is already walking away back to his house. "Eat a muffin...but not too many! I don't want to take a muffin to the ball!"

"Yeah, yeah!"

"Lim Jaebum asked you to Winter Ball?" Abna says excitedly.

She's sitting on my desk as I recap yesterday's events.
