I open it, realizing it's a letter.
Hey Mills, meet me at the park.
-Payton
I quickly go to the park.
At the park, I see Payton. "Hi." I say.
Payton sighs. "Hey." He said.
I sighed, deciding to say it before I didn't want to. "Why have you been avoiding me."
Payton looks at the ground, playing with his shoes.
"Well?"
"Sorry, Millie." He says while hesitating. "Me and my girlfriend broke up."
"Oh." I say. I wanted to say I was sorry, but I wouldn't really mean it.
"Can you say something other than 'oh'?" I give a slight shrug.
"I don't know what to say, Pay."
"Well... do you like me?" He asks. Oh no.
He knows. I think.
"Please say you do. And I don't mean as a friend." He takes my hands in his.
"So, Millie..." He says. "Will you go out with me?"
