After class, Jungkook pulls me aside and drags me round the side of the building. I can already feel my senses tingling and every nerve in my body going into overdrive as his hand clasps itself around my wrist.

When we reach a place that is completely devoid of human life, Jungkook lets go of my wrist and moves his hands to my shoulders.

"You're kidnapping me, aren't you?" I blurt out. Jungkook laughs, not an evil laugh, no. It's the kind of laugh that would have any girl swept off their feet, me included.

"No, I'm not kidnapping you, I promise. I actually wanted to ask you on a date," he says, nonchalantly.

"Oh right, of cour- wait. What? You," I point to him, "want to take me," I point at myself, "on a date?" He nods. "Why me, of all people?"

"Well," he pauses to think. "Actually, let me explain the situation. There's this girl I really like. Her name's Poppy, you might have heard of her. But, I can't get her to notice me and I'm too stupid to think of another way to grab her attention than to make her jealous."

"Woah, woah. Hold up. Why don't you just be a normal person and ask her out? There's no way she'd say no because it's well," I gesture him up and down, "you."

"I'm not sure what you mean by that but moving on. I can't just ask her out when I've never even spoken to her before, and I wouldn't even know where to start with that so don't even try to suggest I get to know her or whatever. Please, Maddie. It's just one party," Jungkook begs.

"Party? Hold on, you said a date and now it's a party? I don't do parties, or even leaving the house after eight so, sorry buddy but I'm not your girl," I respond, shaking my head profusely.

"Please," he clasps his hands together, shaking them in front of me desperately. "I'll even pick you up and take you hom-"

"No," I interrupt very quickly, not wanting him to come to my house and see how I live. "Fine, I'll do it. But you owe me. Big time," I say, pointing a warning finger at him.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you," he repeats, reaching out to hug me, but I take a step back. He looks defeated but shrugs it off. "You can't do that on our date," Jungkook teases, wriggling his eyebrows.

"Whatever," I retort. "Oh and, you will be picking me up but not from my home. Just meet me at the diner on 5th, eight p.m sharp."

"You got it, cap'n," he chuckles, saluting me as we part ways.
