     I angrily ran my hands through my hair. Fuck, I think to myself, why the in the hell did you do that you idiot! I walk over to the couch where my phone is and pick it up.

I hesitatingly open the chat with all my friends but Aria. I rub away the tears in my eyes as I slowly type.

It's off guys.

Jonas:
What, why?

William:
We're all waiting dude

We got into a huge argument
And Aria walked out
Now I'm sitting here like an idiot
I didn't run after her! I should've. Idiot.

Eva:
What about?

Work!
Can you believe that!
She works so hard!
And I don't even thank her!
Instead I make her cry!
On the night I was going to propose!

Eva:
Noora says "Don't be so hard on yourself.
You are both pretty stressed out."

Thanks Noora.
But, I still feel shitty.

Isak:
Where did she go?

The school to print those pictures

Isak:
Where are you?

Home?

Sana:
What are you up to Isak?

Isak:
We all have our cars and Aria left on foot.
So, let's drive to the school. Beat her there.

     Fuck I love her, I think to myself, she's so selfless. She left the car here for me! And walked in the cold! Because she was worried about me. How could she care so much for someone who is such a jackass to her?

How am I going to propose?

Jonas:
Isn't the place where you print those pictures, like the old film ones, super dark?

Yeah.

Jonas:
Candles and rose pedals.
When she opens the door into the room, it'll be fucking awesome. We'll all be hidden except for you. When she says yes, we'll all hop out! Then we can go to Noora and Williams for that after party! Boom!

William:
Holy shit! That's fucking genius!

Eva:
I didn't know you were so damn smart!

Jonas:
Lotta things you don't know abt me ;)

Even:
HAHAHAHHA

I love it!
Thanks bro!

William:
On our way to the school!
Meet us there Chris!
Figure out carpools everyone.

You got it.

     I quickly run to our bedroom and grab the car keys, I had already dressed fairly nice for the first attempt to propose so I didn't have to get ready again. I grabbed the ring from inside my bedside table and ran towards the front door.

I hopped into my car, my heart beginning to race. I let out a deep breathe, trying to calm my nerves. I knew she'd say yes, so why was this so damn hard to do?

I put the key into the ignition and started the car. My heart pumped out of my chest. I grabbed my phone from in my pocket.

On my way to the school.
Let's do this shit.

     I locked my phone and placed it in the seat beside me. I let out a nervous chuckle as my hands gripped the steering wheel. Aria Lucia Schistad, sounds pretty good.

Holy shit. I'm going to be engaged, to Aria. Holy shit. Holy shit. Holy shit. My hands began to sweat, I ran my hands nervously through my hair as I took deep breathes.

She'll say yes. Don't worry. Just take this one moment at a time. Just drive to school. Then figure out what's next.

Then set everything up and ask Aria to marry you. That doesn't sound too scary? In fact, it sounds like the best thing I could ask for.
