Renee and I went the the burger stop after school today and you'll never guess who was there: Christian! I managed to avoid him all day and now here he was. At MY burger stop! Well, technically it's Mr. Simon's burger stop. I was so shocked I just stared. Until he looked over and noticed me. Quickly, I dove my head into a menu.
"Um. What are you doing?" Asked Renee.
"The guy that just walked in the door, he's Christian."
"Christian, the one who asked you out?!" Renee sounded almost happy. I gave her a dirty look. "He's coming over, in case you want to stop being a turtle."
Quickly, I took the menu down and attempted to straighten my unruly hair.
"Hey Christian!" Renee flirted, like they had know each other for years.
"Um. Hi. I'm blanking on your name... " I sent silent thanks to Christian for being so polite.
"This is my friend Renee." I pipe up. "So um. How are you?"
"I'll let you two talk," said Renee, unceremoniously ditching us.
"So. Um." I started to stammer.
"Look, if you don't like me, I totally get it. But can we just not be weird about it? Please?" Christian looked at me with such sincere eyes, I felt I owed him the truth.
"Christian, I really like. But, I've never been asked out before. So, I'm not entirely sure how this works."
A giant smile spread over Christian's face. "No worries. Why don't we just hang out sometime? No pressure."
I nodded, smiling. I had been asked out!
