Dreams Can Come True

Chapter 5: Wanna Go for a smoothie?

~Emilie POV~

*PREVIOUSLY*

He starting leaning closer and closer towards me. I could feel my brain melt, heart explode and my eyes closed.

*PRESENT*

He turned his head and mumbled something inaudible. I frown.

' It sounded like he said, " this isn't right? " '

" U-um thanks for that back there, with Maddy. " I say shyly.

" Anytime. " He smiles at me and takes me back to my classroom.

I walk in everyone staring at me.

" Miss Storm! Where have you been?! " the teacher practically screeched at me.

" U-uh I-I was uh..." I stuttered at a loss of words not knowing what to say.

" She was with me. " Xander popped his head into the classroom.

" Oh well of course she was! What a sweetheart! Mrs Storm, you can just sit down now and I just went over the textbook pages 165-178. You might want to look through those for homework. " she says looking at her teachers version of the textbook.

" Ok will do Mrs. Rose! " I say with fake sincerity.

I gather up my papers and I walk out of the classroom, only to find Xander waiting for me. I walk up to him.

He scratches the back of his neck nervously, " U-um I-I was wondering, I-If you would like to go grab a smoothie across the street with me? O-or something? I-I mean, you don't have to if you dont want to, thats ok with me. Whatever makes you feel comfortable " he rambles on nervously.

I just stare at him in shock. I can't comprehend what he just said.

" U-uh yeah sure. I'd love to. "

" Well let me do something real quick and then I'll meet you at the smoothie place across the street? " he said with hope glinting in his pupils.

" Yeah sure! I'll see you there! " I say flustered.

" Ok great! " he says walking away.

I make my way over to the smoothie place and just stood outside waiting awkwardly watch the people inside.

" Emilie! "

I scour the sea of people only to find Xander rushing towards me with something red in his hands. He stands in front of me panting, and out of breath. He holds out that red something I saw quite a while ago. Red Roses.

' Aww how very sweet of him, to go through all that trouble. '

" Those for me? " I point to the Roses.

He nods still wheezing. I take the flowers in my grasp.

" Did you just run a marathon? " I joke.

" No, I just went all the way to the other side of town to that little flower shop and came back. " he said finally catching his breath.

" Wow you didn't have to do that. " I said feeling guilty that he did that all for me.

" I needed it. Plus i thought you would like those. "

" Oh I do! Thank you! " I say a little to quickly.

" Well lets go inside shall we? " he opens the door like a gentleman and gestures me to go in.
