I'm about to do it. I'm about to ask her to be my girlfriend. I can do this here we go. "Well we've known each other for quite some time now. I feel like we're both ready. And uhhh will you be my girlfriend?" I ask looking im her eyes.
She looks paralyzed right now. "Uhh Stephene you there??" I say waving my hsnds in her face. "Uhhh I gotta go bye Hayes." she says running away. I call after her, but she was already gone.
I do not know what just happend. I thought she liked me. Mabey she doesn't I just assumed. Gosh I'm soo stupid!!!. I text A.J. mabey he knows why she ran off like that.

A- She does like you it's just dad/mom doesn't like her dating. And she doesn't want to sneek around because she'll feel gulty. Just talk to her.
H- Really omg I didn't know. Ok I will.
After that I call Stephene.
~~~Stephene's POV~~~
I'm so sad right now. What if he gets over me and finds some other girl, I'll be heartbroken. Mack comes in and asks me what's wrong. I tell her what happend, and she tells me that's okay. And I should just talk to mom and dad.
She had her first boyfriend in 6th grade. Nick had his first girlfriend in 6th grade too. I'm in 8th grade why can't I?
I go downstairs and into my parents bedroom. My mom is sitting on the bed reading and my dad is not in there. "Mom where's dad?" I ask. "He had duty, he'll be back tomorrow." She says not looking up. "Oh okay. Well can I talk to you about something?" I say twiddling my thumbs. "Yeah what is it?"she says closing the book. "Why Can't I have a boyfriend?" I say looking down. " Stephene your too young." she says. "But Nick and Mack both started dating when they were in 6th grade. I'm in 8th so why can't I?" I state. "And I told them both they were too young." She says.
"Do you not trust me or something?" I say astonished my mom doesn't trust me. "No it's not that. I do baby, I just don't want you to get hurt." She says. "But someone I really like asked me out and I just ran aways because I didn't know what to say. " I say. "Who?" She asks interested. "Hayes." I say. "Aww I like him. He is soo sweet and he's respectful." she says. "Mom please you know him and his mom. It's not like I'm asking you if I can date a rapist." I say. "Fine. You can date. I believe you'll make wise decisions. Okay?" She says looking at me. "Okay." I say and walk out of the room.
I go back upstairs and tell Mack snd A.J. she said yes. I walk back into my room and see that my phone is ringing. I pick it up without seeing who is calling.
