ONE TIME THING ✸ Scott Reed

16

1 WEEK LATER

I walk into school and everyone is looking at me weirdly. I furrow my eyebrows in confusion and I look around or find Scott but he's no where to be found. This is weird. I don't see Montgomery either. I get a pit in my stomach at the thought of them together last time but then I see a bunch of people crowded around in the hall were my locker happens to be. Please don't be a fight. I turn the corner and Sheri hands me a rose. I giggle. "Thanks. But what is this for?" She shrugs. "It's a secret." My face goes back to being serious. Jessica then hands me a rose. "What the fuck are you guys doing?" She puts a finger over her mouth, motioning it's a secret. I roll my eyes in response. I keep walking and Alex hands me a rose? He also is smiling? Weird.. I keep walking and Zach hands me one.. literally what? "You guys are fucking weird." I look back and see everyone recording. I continue walking and there stands Clay... holding a rose? Did I see that right? I walk a few steps more and there stands Scott. A smile on his face and a bouquet of roses in his hands. I smile and I look up. There hangs a banner that says 'will you be my girlfriend?' My eyes widen and my eyes meet Scott's who was now nervous. "I'd love to." The crowd of people cheer. I giggle and I kiss Scott. We both pull away and hug each other.

Scott and I walk into the cafeteria holding hands. "Well now since we aren't hiding can we sit together?" he asks, I smile at his words. "Of course." I nod. "W-we can sit at your friends' table" my smile widens. We go and sit down. "Hey." They look up at us. "Oh- hey.."

I smile at them. "Are you guys gonna start... uh, sitting here?" Clay asks, I look up at Scott. "I-If that's okay..." i look back at them, Scott wraps his arm around my waist. "Yeah. Yeah that's fine. Right guys?" Alex smiles lightly, They nod. I smile at Alex. "Thanks guys."
