I had a bouquet of roses. I had a cute outfit. And I had me.

Hopefully that was enough.

I told Olivia to meet me in the library. I didn't want to ask her to homecoming around a lot of people, but I didn't want it to be too private. I wanted to be able to run if she said no.

She gives me a lopsided smile. "oh, yeah?"

I nod. "Um. Yeah."

Her smile is full-on now. "What?"

"Er, I was just wondering if... if you'll go to homecoming with me?" I hold out my flowers. 

"Oh, Mia!" she exclaims. She pulls me in and kisses me. I forget where and who I am. All I know is her.
