-chapter 13-

[Corbyn's POV]

I waited until all my friends left school during seventh period, and then joined Emma at the sporting goods store. It was right across the street and a short walk.

The door jingled open as I entered and I spotted Emma in the corner of the store looking at volleyballs.

"Hey. I brought the sharpies." I told her once I reached her side.

"Perfect." She didn't look up from the balls. She finally grabbed one with yellow stripes and took it to pay. I trailed along behind her, a nervous wreck thinking about asking Isabella out. "Get over here Besson." She called me. "I'm not paying for it."

I didn't respond but pulled my wallet out and gave the cash to the cashier. We walked out of the store after an exchange of goodbyes and Emma handed me the volleyball.

"Ok. Now you write 'Isabella Medrano Rivera, will you go out with me?'" She explained.

"Ok?" I wrote it on the volley ball nicely and showed it to Emma for approval. She nodded.

"When we get there, you carry it with you, and then if they don't have a volleyball already, which they won't, you hand it to her and ask her to serve it, and she'll see the message." She smiled at me.

"You're sure this will work?" I was scared.

"Yes it will Corbyn. Don't worry." She nodded at me and hopped into her Jeep.

On the way to the courts in my car, I became very nervous. Would she reject me? Or would she even see it?

I arrived and wiped my sweaty hands on my joggers. I opened my car door and the first person I saw was Isabella. She looked beautiful as always. I sat next to her in math and enjoyed every minute of it. She was brilliant, kind, and beautiful.

Emma was already on the sand, on a team with Daniel, Zach, Lottie, and Faith. On my side of the net, were Jonah, Isabella, Jack, and Ellie.

I jogged over to the court and followed the others' examples my taking of my shoes and socks.

"Corbyn where were you?" Zach yelled from the other side of the court.

"I stopped at home to grab this." I held up the ball. Isabella was standing in the servers position on my side of the net. I handed her the ball and jogged over to one of the front positions. Glancing back at her, she threw up the ball to serve. My heart sunk, she hadn't seen the message.

The ball glided quickly over the net and was positioned to land near Faith. She quickly dove toward the ball. After being hit, it went slightly backwards and was recovered by Emma. She passed it to Daniel, who was in the front. As he was jumping up to spike it, he was too late and the volleyball crashed into the net. It was our point.

Daniel rolled the ball back over to Isabella, and I hoped that she would see the message. When it was in her hands, she froze. She must've seen it. Oh no. This couldn't be good. Everyone was waiting for Isa to serve the ball and I glanced over at Emma. She gave me a reassuring nod and a thumbs up.

Finally Isa unfroze and her eyes landed on me. I pushed my hand through my dirty blonde hair, waiting to see what she'd do. She dropped the volleyball and rushed over to me. She covered the short distance in record speed and before I knew it, she had jumped onto me in a hug, wrapping her legs around my waist. I hastily put my hands underneath her thighs (it took me so long to figure out how to spell that...I'm an idiot sometimes) to support her.

"Yes!! Yes! Yes!" She screamed and pulled back from the tight hug. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding and my mouth formed a grin just like hers.

"Um did I miss something?" Jack asked because almost everyone was confused. Ellie slapped him.

"He asked her out dummy." She said and we all laughed. Isabella slowly got down from the embrace and asked me a question.

"When?" She wanted to know when our date would be.

"Tonight?" I asked shyly.

"Perfect."

I arrived at Emma's big house, where Lottie said they would be. It was nearly 7 o'clock and we were going to a movie at 7:30. I was wearing a white NASA hoodie, with denim jeans , and light camouflage vans. The boys helped me pick out my attire.

Ringing the door bell, I heard 4 feet run to the front of the house. Ellie and Faith opened the door and invited me in.

"Are you excited?" Elle asked as we were standing there. They both had huge smiles on their faces and I'm sure I did too.

"More than ever." I replied and nodded.

"She is too." Faith added into the conversation. I smiled at the thought of Isabella being my girlfriend, but stopped myself because I was moving way too fast. I reminded myself that it was only one date and then Isabella came into view.

She was wearing tie-die washed jeans instead of her usual joggers or shorts, along with a simple black shirt and vans. Her dark brown hair was slightly curled. She looked beautiful as always.

"Bye Corbella!" Emma and Lottie called out in unison when Fay and Ellie just said bye.

Isa shook her head at our ship name and I opened the passenger side car door for her.

"Thank you Corbyn." She said as I walked her to the door of her house.

"I had a great time." I replied.

"Me too." She smiled. She looked so beautiful in the moonlight and light from the house.

"Maybe we could do it again sometime?" I asked, wanting to spend more time with her.

"Definitely." She nodded and turned to go into her home. She unlocked the door and was about to open it when she paused. She turned and walked back over to me. Her lips touched my cheek and my face heated up. She returned to go inside and whispered something quietly. "Goodnight Corbyn." She said.

"Goodnight Beautiful." She closed the door as I finished my goodbye.
