Same Stars Of Yesterday (book 2)

"ASKED OUT"

CXVIII.
~:•:~

Dawn's POV:

"Say, Dawn, why don't we first stop at some shops this afternoon? I was thinking of looking for what present we should buy for Ash's dad today so we won't have a hard time... If you want, we can decide to buy what we choose today tomorrow."

I heard May as she was tilling the ground here in the garden.

"Dawn? Dawn??"

I was caught up with her and she narrowed her gaze on me.

"You're spacing out...."

"Huh? Uhm~" I slowly averted my eyes from the brunette who drew herself closer to me.

"Is there something you want to tell? Hm?" May shoved me that made me somewhat hesitant to speak out before she eyed me curiously. "There is something, is there??"

I twitched when May stood up and she continued what she was doing earlier and she also turned her cap around.

"May, a-actually-" I bit my lip suddenly getting butterflies in my stomach. "I need your help on something~"

I composed myself first before I put aside my garden tools and headed to the cottage sitting on the wooden flooring and May went after me taking off her gloves and waiting for me to speak up again.

"Uhm~ The truth is... I actually- Uh~ May??" I spoke up and May was obviously getting unsettled too with the way I spoke. "Someone just asked me out today~"

I felt my face heating up when I finally said those words so fast and I bit my lip looking down on the wooden flooring and stiffening myself. I even twitched when May touched my shoulders and she burst into a merry laughter then she drew herself closer to me and eyed me with a stare.

"Dawn~ You should have said so earlier... I was nervous it was something... But REALLY??" May asked not likely convinced and I only nodded straightforwardly.

"Ooh~ Who?? Do you know the guy??" I shook my head as my response to the question and May crossed her legs and arms and faced me.

"I don't know him that much, May... But he said that his name is Tyler Adameon. He... Uh~ He just suddenly greeted me this morning when I came to my locker. Then he- I was told that he likes me??" I said and May was kind of holding her laughters when I spoke in a questioning tone.

"Tyler ADAMEON???!" May widened her eyes and she held me on both shoulders. "Dawn, you don't know him??"

I shrugged and looked to May who seems to know this guy.

"I- I don't~ Who is he?? He likely made me feel uncomfortable before... He just only se-said he likes me. I don't even know what to say~" I said and May let me go already and crossed her arms again.

"I don't know that much about him, Dawn. But I have seen his transfer form once in the student council room. He is from another class who transferred here the same day Ash did. I heard from some juniors who knew him that he is the son of an actor. To think he approached you?? And you don't know him?? Wow~" May told me and I started to fidget my hands on my lap.

"So, what should I do?? It was so sudden and-" I didn't finish because May held my hand and grinned at me.

"Hm~ Did he said anything else??" I was asked.
