"SO ADORABLE!!!" Kyla shouted after I told her everything about the date.

"She’s so sweet, funny, kind, caring, and just all-around great!" I told her

"You know the whole week before this date she kept going on about you and how you’re SO pefect, sweet, adorable, beautiful, funny, smart, ect., ect. Ashley is so whipped!"

"No she’s not!"

"Whatever you say, and you are to!"

"Am not!" I said as I was getting up on my way to my dresser to find some clothes to sleep in.

"Hey, what’s that?" Kyla asked me

"What’s what?"

"That paper in your back pocket." I reached my hand in my back pocket and took out the card that Ashley told me that I couldn’t open until the date was over. I completely forgot about it!

"Oh, it’s this card that Ashley gave me. She said I couldn’t open it until our date was over." I said trying to sound casual…and failing.

"Well, the dates over, Blondie, open it!"

"I will!"

I opened the card and when I did, a picture fell out of it. I picked it up and looked at it. It was a picture of Ashley and I at the dance, acting like dorks, making a face at the camera. I smiled remembering how much fun I had that night.

"Oh picture, lemme see!" Kyla said acting like a 3-year old. I gave her the picture and she got the warmest smile on her face."

"What?" I asked

"It’s just that I haven’t seen Ashley this happy, since our dad was alive. Ever since then, she would just hide behind her books and her grades, trying to get people to believe that just because she’s successful, she’s happy. But I saw right through it, I knew she was never really happy, there was always something missing for her, now I know what she needs to fill that. She needs you, Spencer, you make her so happy." Kyla told me as tears welled up in my eyes.

"Wow."I said, amazed at what Kyla told me.

"Now read the card!"

"Oh, yeah, okay"

I started to read what Ashley wrote:

Dear Spencer,

I hope you know that I had a great time tonight. You make me so, so happy. You’re a smart, beautiful, amazing girl. I love every minute that I spend around you. When you smile, you make me feel like my insides melt. When ever I hear that adorable laugh of yours, you make me feel, just so incredible. I can never be around you without a smile on my face. I don’t if I already told you this tonight but I love you. I’m in love with you Spencer Carlin. I know it may seem soon but I don’t think it’s ever too soon to tell someone how you feel, because you may never get that chance again
