waking up is normal. well normal enough. my alarm screams and i'm awoken to a dark figure standing over my bed. the curtains are drawn and they spread dark purple light throughout my bedroom. not bright enough to lit the face of my intruder. 

i jump out of bed going through the flight or fight response. and pick up pace as i go to tackle the figure. sleep clouding my brain like a cloak. 

"GOODMORNING!" screams Sandra as she stands at the foot of my bed hands raised in the air as a sign of peace. 

"Sandra what the Heck???" i exclaim as i climb over my bed to other side of my room and rip the curtains back. 

Sandra stand with her strawberry blond hair in a long braid she wears a light jean jacket and a pair of roots sweat pant. from her hands dangles...clothing?

"Sandra you know i love you but what the heck are you doing here?"  i ask bewildered. 

"well i found this outfit i thought would look amazing on you so i thought you could maybe wear it today?" she explains holding out the outfit towards me. 

"is this your subtle way of telling me my outfits suck?" i laugh taking the outfits form her hands. 

"no! i swear just being nice and all..." she trails off blushing. 

i look at her confused. ok then... i look at the clothing she has handed me. its a maroon red top with a black jean skirt and knee high boots. the outfit is actually pretty cute. 

"you like it i can tell" she smiles from ear to ear. 

we head off to school after grabbing a quick breakfast. 

classes go buy without incident. if you don't count the glares from Bunny and all the students whispering around..well me. i thinking it might be about Sadie and the fight. maybe everyone just sees me as a buff super hero now. 

by lunch i haven't heard from anyone. not Della, sadie, brent, sandra, or decan.  i am starting to get a little worried. 

 i sit alone and eat my homemade lunch consisting of a tuna sandwich. 

by the end of the day i have called and texted and snapped and Instagramed everyone i know know one is talking to me. not even bunny who really  looks like shed like to say a couple words to me.  

----------Decans pov-------

after waking up and feeling a little better from concussion Brent was standing at the edge of the couch. his arms crossed his chest and he wore a grey t shirt with a batman emblem on it. 

"finally your up." he greets as friendly as ever. 

"um how long have you been starring at me?" i ask groggily. 

"almost long enough to make me jealous" Sandra pops into view coming from the hallway that leads to the front door. her hair is in a braid

"that's not important!" Brent announces like a sergeant. "we have big plans today so you need to get your concussed ass out of bed and get ready!" 

"listen guys its ok to prank other people but its gonna be a problem if we start pranking within our group."  i say confused 

"this isn't a prank and you are wasting time."  Sandra explains as she marches over and pulls me out of bed. 

i'm seated with Sandra, Della, Brent, Sadie, and Blake surrounding me.  they have tied me to a wooden chair in my bedroom. all of their phones are buzzing like crazy. until they one by one turn them off.  to say i'm scared is an understatement. 

"so you havent asked Hope to be your girlfriend yet?" Brent asks slash accuses. 

"i guess not but she know me and her are together... i think..." i trail off confused as to where this was going. "aslo why is this a hole here in our house??" i kick my leg referencing to Blake, Hopes ex cheating boyfriend. 

"hey calmed down there buddy me and Hope are cool and besides i'm with Sadie now." he reassures while throwing his big arm around her slim shoulders. 

Sadie giggles. And Sandra begins to make her way to my closet which is beside my blue and black sheet covered bed. my room covered with posters of venom and deathnote.   

i watch Sandra as Brent begins to to explain whats up. "ok so we all now know that you and Hope aren't official because of your big stupid head so we are gonna help make it happen." 

"first we are gonna get you all dressed up nice," sandra says holding up some button up shirts 

"then we're gonna cover your car in flowers." says Della lifting up to duffel bags filled with flowers. 

i fill a little with panic of my sweet ride covered in perfumed flowers. if they suggest painting it pink then i'm breaking this chair and escaping out the window. 

"Dont worry she is gonna love it," Blake tries to reassure me. 

"me and him made a playlist we know that she will love you just play it in the car and blast it when you step out with...." Sadie says rummaging through her own duffel which was red as to not get confused with the flowers i suppose. 

she pulls out a giant card board sign saying 'HOPE WILL YOU DO THE HONOR OF BEING MY GIRLFRIEND' it has so much glitter that it sends it flying all over my grey carpeted floor.  

they hold up the sign together and yell "TADA!"

"ok guys i see where you all are going with this and you guys are doing a great job but how about i put a little spin on this old school plan?" i suggest smiling with the rest of them. 

"oh ya.  could you guys untie me?" 

-------later that day------

it was the end of school and i haven't seen Sadie, Brent, Blake, Decan or Sandra which i had just seen this morning. well i guess they hate me now? like what was going on. i thought Decan liked me. we spent all afternoon together just the day before. i missed his hugs. i could use one right about now. 

as soon as i stepped out of the building Bunny blocked my way. today she was looking extra vicious with red manicured claws and cherry red lip gloss. her hair straightened to perfection. if she was my height or taller then me she may have actually been intimidating. 

"wears Decan? Haven't seen him all day...especially not with you." she teased, practically throwing it in my face that my so called boo was no where in sight. 

"listen i'm not in the mood for you,bunny" i sneer at her. already dropping my back pack just in case she wanted to fight. 

i was proven right though when she threw her bag down and squared her petite shoulders. 

suddenly though there was a long honk. everyone including me and Bunny turned to see who was at the drop off section in front of the school. 

there driving in his black Mitsubishi lancer was Decan. Bunny backed off as Decan open the door in a tux.  But he didnt have any flowers in his hands or anything like that. to say i was confused was and understatement. 

Then a look crossed his face like he had forgotten something and reach back into his car. he continued to pull out a speaker phone. (from where he got a speaker phone, i have no idea).

he lifts the speaker phone to his lips,"HOPE STARLING! WILL YOU DO THE HONOR OF GRANTING ME THE PRIVILEGE OF BECOMING YOUR BOYFRIEND." everyone let out shrieks of pain from how loud he was screaming. i wonder if he knew the mega phone was supposed to make your regular voice louder not your already too loud screaming voice.   

i'm laughing to myself as all eyes turn to me, i guess waiting for an answer. until i realize a gleam in Decans eyes is not what he is waiting for, well not exactly. i go to turn around and he starts to yell again. 

"HOPE! HEY HOPE I JUST WANTED TO POINT OUT THAT YOU ARE THE FUNNIEST MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL I KNOW! AND SURPRISE!!"

with that i'm covered in a beautiful fragrance. smooth soft petals fall down my face along with the some buds still connected to stems. i stand there shocked. my friends that i havent seen all day jump out from behind me smiling ear to ear. Sadie holding a big bucket. music starts playing from a speaker that Blake is holding. Dynamite plays, which was a song me and Decan had danced to at a party. 

i'm smiling wildly and bring up my hands to cover my pink cheeks. "oh geez guys..." i breath out in a whoosh. 

"well!!" ask my friends in unison. Decan raising a dark eyebrow at me, is arms ope in a w. 

"well i don't think i have ever heard of someone getting asked out in a prank," i stop to laugh, "and i think you guys have a problem with dumping buckets of stuff on people" i point out, making the other students laugh. "but.." 

i walk over to Decan. i wrap my arms loosely around his neck and look into his green gold eyes.

"ya you can be my boyfriend," respond. 

he wraps his arms tightly around me and pulls me close. i thought it was just another hug but his lips found their way to mine.  blood rushed to my face. his lips were warm and soft and my brain stopped working as soon as the kiss started. 

he pulled away from me and held my head in his hands. we both smiled wide at each other. 

"i've been wanting to do that for a while." he admits. 

we're pulled out of the moment with the other students cheering. 

my friends run up to us. Sandra throws an arm around my shoulders. 

"i honeslty thought you all died." i laugh

"no we just wanted to surprise you" sandra explains. 

"and thats not all," every one looks to Decan confused even me. "i planned a special first date for you and me all by myself." he says looking at me. 

i blush. 

"well ok then," brent says as sandra pushes me and Decan towards the car. "have fun you too" he wishes sprinkling his fingers at us to say goodbye. 

sandra laughs and places a hand on his chest. Della hugs Blake and Sadie in a huddle. 

"well what do you say?"  Decan asks me, his hand outstretched towards me.   

i look at all my friends and back at Decan. at the beginning of this year i only had my friends. i had no interest in making more or even finding a guy i liked or was interested in. i was fine with how things were. but this, right now, was better. Decan made everything better. 

i looked into his green and gold eyes, knowing that this was just the beginning of our relationship and the beginning of a whole lot of fun. 

i took Decans hand in mine, "lets go." 

------------the end----------
