When I Walked Down the Stairs

A guy my age approached me. He had a daisy in his hand, while the other was in his pants pocket. I squinted my eyes when he stood right in front of me. All I had in my head was, “what the heck is this guy planning to do?”All of my attention was on him to the point that my senses became dull to my surroundings. I was too late to realize that our school’s acapella group was forming behind him, singing I Wanna Be Yours by Arctic Monkeys.At that moment, I froze. I squeezed the water bottle a little bit too tight that my fingertips turned red. The most reasonable thing to do was blink. So, that’s what I did. I just blinked like a dumb sandwich. My brain just could not simply process what was happening, because… what the fuck was happening?“Renjun,” the guy in front of me finally broke the silence that was enveloping the whole bleachers. “Would you like to go to prom with me?”That was totally unexpected.
