(Angel's POV)

Today's been a strange day.

It all started when Craig, didn't appear for animation club.

It scared me, because he loved going to animation club. It let him express his feelings. Let him forget, the stressful work, the taunting and teasing, his own thoughts. This was the only class we had together other than lunch.

By now we would be on our computers, working on our current project, and catching up. Now it was just silence, along with the scraping noises made my drawing tablet.

I was working on lineart, for one of my frames, when my phone started playing, 'Dead Girl Walking' from Heathers the Musical.

Everyone in the class was staring at me. I cussed myself out for not having my phone on vibrate. It was Jackson.

The text read "If you forgot, Craig is with me right now"

"I did forget, thank you for reminding me!" My memory was coming back to me. During lunch, Jackson told me that he was going to tell Craig something after school, and it was urgent. He told me to tell his Mom that he is going to be late.

How do I know his Mom, well me and Jackson are cousins. We don't like talking about it, and are families aren't even that close. It's not even that obvious, we don't even look anything alike. Not even Ari knows that we are cousins.

I'm going off topic. Jackson has been acting strange all day, after he came back from the office with Craig. He looks lost in his own thoughts. Like if he is stressed or something. Or if he overthinking about something.

Whenever we "tried" to talk to him, no response. It was like he was lost in his own little world, and no one can get through that world. But every once and awhile he would go and look at me or Craig.

From that I could tell, he was either thinking about me or Craig.

But from what he texted me I could tell that he was something to say to Craig that he has been thinking about all day.

I think I have an idea of what he is going to say....

I realized I have been drawing dots for the past 10 minutes, making no progress what so ever. Not like the club adviser was paying attention. All she cares is that we draw something each quarter, so she can give us a grade. Animation is my only good grade.

I mean I could get better grades, if I wanted to, but I have other things to take care of. Like helping out Craig, and managing my youtube account. School always come last on my things to take care of list.

The clock struck 4:30, it was time to leave freedom at last!. I packed away, my gaming laptop, and my drawing tablet into my backpack, and put my phone in my pocket.

I walked out of the media center, out into the bare, empty hallway. Well I couldn't say empty, because all the jocks were coming in from football, or whatever sport they play.

Usually, Jackson is amog them, but today I suppose not. He still talking to Craig.

I shoved my way through the oddly tall middle schoolers, flipping off a couple of them along the way.

I looked both ways for my friends, and I saw Ari heading back to school for marching band. But then I saw Jackson, and Craig, beneath the basketball court. Holding hands. Something you would see out of an anime. Expect in Japan people confess under a cherry blossom tree. Well, this is America, so basketball court it is.

I suppose my guess is correct. Jackson was asking Craig out.

(Craig's POV)

Jackson was leading me to the basketball court. He knew that I was bad at sports. I was also missing club. Not like Teacher what's her face would ever take attendance, but I feel bad for Angel for being there by herself. I have talk to her after this.

"Sooo...um the reason, I umm..took you here today..., because I have something to ask you." He seemed quite nervous, which made me nervous.

"What is it?" I asked.

Jackson covered his dazzling eyes, with his arm. And under his skin I could tell he was blushing, heavily. He took a deep breath. "I brought you out here today, because I wanted to ask you if you would wanted to go out with me?"

Go out with me?

ME?

Am I'm dreaming? Cause I am quite sure that I have dreamed this before. I have fantasized this moment. I have fantasized other moments, but that isn't important, or appropriate.

I pinched myself. Yep, this is real life. Well you know what my answer is going to be.

"Yes!"
