talk

Valarie POV

I Jeremiah had gone back to the house, and it wasn't long until Conrad was walking up to me and sitting beside me.

"Hey." He says.

"Hey." I smile.

I lean my head on his shoulder, and he lays his head on top of mine.

"I'm sorry." I say.

He hesitates for a second. "For what?"

"I don't know, I thought you were gonna be mad at me." I laugh.

"Vee just because someone might be mad at you doesn't mean you have to apologize." He laughs. "And by the way, I'm not mad, not even close."

"Pinky promise?" I ask as I hold up my pinky.

"Pinky promise." He smiles as he interlocks our pinky's together.

But when we drop our hands, our pinky's were still locked together.

"Shayla and Steven talked, they're good now." Conrad says. "And we just talked it out."

"You did?" I ask.

"Yeah." He says. "But you don't have to yet, only when you're ready."

"Nah, we fight then act like nothing happened, we'll be fine." I smile.

"Okay." He laughs. "I wanna talk to you."

"What's up?" I ask.

"I just need you to know that...that I don't care about getting in fights and arguments, no matter with who or when, if someone is being in any way disrespectful to you I will do anything." He says.

"I just don't like seeing you hurt because of me." I sigh.

"It was for you not because of you, and if this black eye came from me protecting you then I'm honored to have it." Conrad says.

We look at each other, and he just wraps his arms around me in a hug.

Eventually we get up and start walking back to the house.

"I missed you." He says.

"I was gone for maybe an hour and a half." I laugh.

"I still missed you!" He laughs.

"I missed you too." I laugh.

"Are you excited for the deb ball?" He asks.

"Very, it'll just be weird seeing Jer and Belly going together." I laugh.

"Yeah." He laughs. "Do you remember how I asked you to the dance?"

"Yes." I smile.

"I was so nervous." He laughs. "My mom wanted me to ask you, but I knew I had wanted to a long time before that."

"You were nervous?" I ask.

"Oh, nervous was an understatement." He laughs.

The was he asked me out is I was just hanging out in my room listening to music, and he came in.

"Uh h-hey Val?" He asked nervously.

"Oh hey, what's up?" I asked as I turned down the music.

"So I-I was wondering if you have an escort already to the ball?" He asked as he fiddled with his hands.

"Oh uh no I don't, why?" I asked.

"Oh so I was wondering if uhm...if I could maybe take you?" He asks.

When he asked me my heart started beating so fast. I had liked this boy for years.

"I would love that." I smiled.
