I was 1000% sure my crush liked me. The teasing, the flirty texts, the way he laughed at my terrible jokes — it was practically written in the stars. Even my best friend agreed. “Yeah, I think he likes you,” she had said, hyping me up…..
Well, she was half right.
Proposal Day arrived, and I walked in like I was about to collect a lifetime achievement award in romance. Hair? Perfect. Outfit? Stunning. Confidence? Sky-high. Any second now, he’ll confess, and I’ll do that cute “Omg, really? I had no idea!” (I had every ideaaaaaa.)
And then , and then ,it happened.
There he was, standing in the courtyard, looking nervous. This is it, I thought. This is my rom-com moment. A crowd started forming. I mentally prepared my acceptance speech for Best Girlfriend Ever.
Then, in front of everyone, he got down on one knee.
I held my breath. My inner monologue went into overdrive.
OMG, OMG, OMG, ACT COOL. Smile! No, not too much! Maybe pretend to be surprised?Blush …. a bit..
