Jamie's POV

I turn the corner and see Noah, at his locker laughing with Ryan and a few others.

"Hey guys." I say, smiling as I approach them.

"Hey Jamie." Ryan replies, at the same time Noah lifts his head, widening his grin, and says, "hey babe."

I smirk a little, "Noah, could I talk to you for a second?"

"Yeah sure." He makes his way out of the circle and comes to me, placing his hand casually on my waist, guiding me towards the doors.

I look to him in question.

"I thought you wanted a more private setting." He tells me.

I melt a little at how well he knows me, but then begin to shake as I prepare myself for this conversation.

"So what exactly did you want to talk about Jaim?" He asks, a little unsure.

"I don't know why I haven't noticed until today, but... Well- it's just..." I stutter, not knowing how to phrase what I want to say.

"Come on Jamie, you know you can tell me anything, what is it?" Noah encourages.

"Why haven't you asked me out yet?" I blurt out quickly, all in one breath.

Noah stares at me blankly for a second, then blinks. Suddenly he bursts out laughing.

I stand in front of him, getting quite confused. I begin feeling frustrated, I came here to talk about something serious and he treats it like a joke.

I watch as he bends over, slapping his knee. I cross my arms, unamused.

Noah straightens up to face me and sobers up once he sees my face.

"Sorry," he says, catching hid breath a bit, "I got nervous. Thought that you were about to break up with me, and then to hear that. Well it was a relief, let me tell you that."

I make no comment so he continues, "Jamie, what do you mean? I didn't ask you out properly because it all just happened. I was nervous to ask what we were at first but then we just sort of introduced the other that way, you know? I introduced you as my girlfriend and you introduced me as your boyfriend. After that I never really thought to ask you out properly. We already were dating."

I think about this for a while. He has a point. But still, it would have been nice to have been properly asked. Not just assumed.

"Yeah," I start, "but in that time period when we knew we liked eachother didn't you ever think to ask me about that?"

"Well Jamie, I was going to but then we said that we loved eachother and I guess that just sealed the deal for me."
"I know, I shouldn't be making a big deal out of this anyways I just want us to be official. You know?"

"Yes I do. How about I make it up to you?" He asks.

"How would you do that?" I joke, eyebrows raised.

"I will ask... Jamie Winters, would you like to go on a date with me tonight?" He asks, in an old English voice, all prim and proper.

I laugh, and imitating the best English accent I can muster, I reply, "Noah Adams... I would love to."

Noah smiles and picks me up, spinning me around in his arms.

We hear the second bell ring from inside and look at eachother with wide eyes. Noah sets me down and we both bolt back into the school, scurrying like mice to out lockers.

**********************************

"Oh my gosh," I say to Noah while we are walking to lunch.

"What?" He asks, gripping my hand a little tighter and looking around frantically.

I smile, loving how protective he is of me, "I just haven't realized how close junior prom is."

Every year, out school puts on like a mini prom for the grade 10 and 11 students. It is like normal prom just for the younger grades and not as done up, everyone just calls it 'junior prom.' But it is really just a fancy dance with a theme.

Noah lets out a breath, and releases his vice like grip on my hand to a gentler one, "I know. It's only in what? A month and a half?"

"Yeah. Not even that." I say, looking around at all the banners and posters hung throughout the hallway.

"How have I not noticed all of this yet?" I wonder aloud.

"To be fair, you have been quite distracted lately."

"That's true."

"What do you think the theme will be this year?" Noah asks me.

"I'm not sure. I heard they were going to do a 'night in Paris theme' but I kind of hope it is more like a beach sunset thing. I think those are super romantic.

"They are." Noah replies, pulling me closer to him.

"Did you get in too much trouble for being late?" I ask.

"No, it was just geography. I had to get a late slip but it wasn't too bad, no detention or anything."

I sigh, feeling slightly guilty, "sorry."

"There's nothing to be sorry for. You had a question about our relationship and you had every right to ask. If you ever feel insecure or not sure about  anything, always ask me."

"Okay. I'm just glad we got that out of the way." I tell him.

"Me too."

"So, where are you taking me for our date?" I tease him.

"That, my dear, is a surprise. Just be ready for tomorrow at around five-ish."

I smirk, "you have no idea yet, do you?"

"Don't be so negative babe. Believe it or not I can be quite the romantic."

"Subtle way of saying you have no clue?" I ask, hoping to win this.

"I have a wonderful idea, and I know you will love it. Just you wait." He tells me, not backing down.

While one part of me really wants to win this little game, the other part of me hopes he already has an idea and is as excited as I am. I guess we will just have to see.
