last bite, I chocked. Something was in my ice cream! I pulled it out of my mouth and shot a weird look at Benji who was smiling. A paper. Who puts paper in ice creams?!

I threw it down and stood up.

“Aren’t you gonna open it?” Benji asked nervously

“Why would I? So it can chock me again?” I snapped, glaring at the paper

“Just open it.” He sighed

Shrugging, I bent down and picked it up. I opened it. It was blank.

I threw it down again, “Well, that was stupid.”

“T-there was nothing on it.” He stuttered, pulling his phone out

“Nope.” I sat back down and eyed him warily

He check his phone and grinned, nodding to himself before slipping it back in his pocket. “Let’s go.”

I blinked and stood up. We walked out of the parlor and I was grabbed YET again.

I looked up and saw Declan. He pushed me into the car, gently and slid in next to me. He shut the door and pulled his phone out.

“What’s going on?!” I screamed as the car started to move

He didn’t even blink, just kept texting. I tried to peek at his phone but he moved it, still texting. I pouted and scowled at him, “I wanna go home.”

“Too bad.” He muttered, smirking

“I wanna go home!” I bellowed in his ear

He looked at me, “I came prepared. Thyme put a spell on me. You can’t hurt me. Not even your annoying scream.”

I punched him in the face and he groaned, “Liar.”

Declan cradled his cheek, “I was bluffing! You didn’t have to do that!”

“Yes, I did.” I insisted, nodding my head innocently

He rolled his eyes, “I can’t feel the left side of my face.”

I laughed, “Accomplishment is great!”

Declan ignored that and resumed texting.

“Are you texting your secret boyfriend?” I whispered

His head snapped to mine, “No! I like girls!”

“Defensive much?” I smirked

He sighed deeply, “Are we almost there yet, driver dude?”

“Yes, Master Declan.” An old raspy voice said

It was scary!

“Duuuuuuuuude! Your voice freaked me out!” I yelled with wide eyes, “Don’t talk anymore! Por favor!”

Scary Voice ignored me and continued driving. Well, forget you, too, dude!

The car stopped and Declan pulled me out of the car. I was grabbed again but this time I punched the person in the face.

“Kelsey!” A familiar voice yelled; Derek

“Oops?” I offered, smiling sheepishly

He held his nose in one hand and grabbed my arm with the other, dragging me into our boarding school.

“Why are we here?” I frowned

“Shut up! You don’t deserve answers.” He sounded like Squidward!

“You sound like Squidward from Spongebob SquarePants. I like it!” I beamed up at him

He rolled his eyes and pulled me to the C hall where our dorm is. Why is everybody rolling their eyes or sighing at me? They’re meanies.

When we got close to the dorm, purple petals were all around. I frowned, “Why are these here?”

Derek shrugged, “You don’t deserve an answer to that question. You PUNCHED me in the FACE!”

“I was there.” I rolled my eyes

“Stay here.” He ordered, walking into the room

I stood in the hallway, looking around, why am I here? Reaching for the door handed, a hand landed on mine. I looked up and saw Benji.

“Ah, ah, ah, don’t be a bad girl, Kelsey.” He tsked, smirking madly

I pulled my hand back, “Huh? Oh, I wasn’t doing anything BAD!”

“Suuuure.” He chuckled and leaned against the wall, pulling his phone out

I pursed my lips, “What’s Derek doing? He’s taking SO long!”

“You can go in now.” He shrugged and walked in, shutting it behind him

“Well, thanks for holding the door open for me.” I muttered before opening the door

Nobody was in here. But, flowers were everywhere. On my bed, laid a note. I picked it up, looking around. When I saw that it was deserted, I opened the note. Kyle’s neat handwriting was on it.

I love you, Kelsey Elaine Montgomery.

~KeeKee

O-kay, then! I set the note down and looked around. There was a note taped to the wall. This is creepy! Not gonna lie.

I grabbed it and opened it,

You’re the best thing that ever happened to me.

~KeeKee

Nice. There was another note on the bathroom door. Sighing, I grabbed it.

The day you walked into my life, I knew that I had to make you mine.

~Your KeeKee

I smiled and set it down. A scream, my scream, sounded through the room as I turned around and saw Blake holding flowers out to me.

“Hey…Sexy accent.” I muttered, eyeing the flowers

“Take them.” He smiled, bouncing up and down

I grabbed them, they were the same purple ones from the hall way.

“They’re so pretty.” I smiled and looked up, Blake was gone, his replacement was Ty

“Hey, Ty. What’s up?” I asked

He smiled as he looked over me, “You look beautiful, Sis.”

“Thank you.” I grinned and poked my belt thing

“Shall we?” He smiled and held his arm out

“…Sure.” I laughed and hooked arms with him

We walked out of the room and down the stairs, out of the school. Someone grabbed my arm and I raised my hand but Derek’s scream made me put it down.

He sighed in relief, “Hallelujah. I think you broke my nose earlier.”

I shrugged, “You don’t just grab people, Derek. It’s straight creeper status.”

Scoffing, he opened the door and pushed me into the limo, sliding in after me. I sighed and waited until we arrived at the next place. It took an hour! A whole HOUR of my life- poof -gone! The car stopped and I got out, leaving Derek. I was standing in the forest.

I tried to get back in the car but it was locked. “Derek! Let me in!”

The car backed up a little before speeding out of the forest, leaving me alone.

I huffed angrily, “Greeaaat!”

A movement to my left caught my eyes. I turned to it and saw nothing. I’ll slice whatever it was. WITH my pinky nail!

“Kelsey.” It whispered

The voice was really familiar.

“Kelsey.”

Kyle.

I bust up laughed, slapping my knee. “Kyle, you’re a dork.”

His laughed echoed and he stepped into view, wearing a black tux. He looked DAMN SEXY! “That’s not nice.”

I opened my arms wide and he smiled, walking towards me. He wrapped his arms around me and held me tightly. I hugged him back, burying my face in his chest. Kyle kissed the top of my head, “C’mon. Let’s eat.”

“I am down with that!” I nodded enthusiastically

Kyle led me over somewhere, covering my eyes.

“I told you I don’t like surprises.” I growled, trying to get his hands off my eyes

His breath but my ear, making me shiver noticeably, “You look beautiful, baby.”

“Yeah.” I mumbled

I could hear him roll his eyes. He turned me around, uncovering my eyes. His hands cupped my face as he leaned his forehead against mine.

“Are you ready?” He breathed, his eyes glancing down at my lips briefly

Standing on my tip-toes, I placed my lips on his before leaning back. “Yup. I’m ready.”

Kyle grinned and slowly turned me around. I looked around and bit my lips. The path was lit up by candles, leading to a circle table. The table had two long candles in the center of it, three platters, and a vase full of the purple roses.

“D-do you like it?” Kyle stuttered slightly

I shook my head, “No.”

He tensed, “I-I can do something different a-another day. S-sorry.”

Laughing, I turned around and wrapped my arms around his neck. “Kyle, you’re so gullible. I love it, KeeKee.”

Kyle took a deep breath and exhale before smiling, “Good. I was panicking.”

I rolled my eyes and smiled, “I love everything you do.”

He shot me a look and I laughed, “Okay, not everything. But you get what I mean.”

He nodded, “So, you like it?”

“Yes, Sir. I love it. Let’s eat! They starved me today. I gotsa eat, fool!” I stated

Kyle laughed, “I understand. Let’s eat.”

“What’d you make?” I grinned up at him as we walked to he table

“Your favorite.” He chuckled

My smiled fell, “Spaghetti?”

“Yup.” Kyle laughed and pulled me to his chest

My smile came back ten-fold, “Yes! I. Love. You.”

His lips twitched at the seriousness in my voice, “I love you, too.”

He pulled my chair out for me and sat down, “Thank you.”

“No worries.” He smiled and sat down in his chair

Kyle motioned for me to open my platter. I do, eagerly. Spaghetti was piled on it.

I stared at it with wide eyes, “I haven’t had spaghetti in months! Sigh. You’re amazing.” I picked up my fork and took a bite, “MMMMMMMMM! Did you make this?”

“Yeah, it’s good?” He laughed and took a bite of his

“You’re going to be the cook when we have our family…” I trailed off, my mouth forming a soft O as I realized what I said

I shyly looked up at Kyle to see him grinning at his spaghetti. He looked up and caught my eye, I blushed and looked down. What’s with me and blushing?!

I slowly took a bite and chewed, looking around. “Did you do all this?”

“With help.” He was still grinning

Nodding, I cleared my throat. “Ahem, ahem, cool.”

Kyle bite his lip, “There’s nothing to be awkward about. We are going to start a family someday.”

A lot sooner than anticipated.

“Yeah…” I nodded

How am I going to tell him I’m pregers? Maybe I shouldn’t…

Not tonight anyway.

I mean, what if he doesn’t want a kid and the whole date turns awkward? That would make it ten times worse.

“Kyle…” I trailed off, hearing him say. “Kelsey.”

“Y-you go first.” I smiled and motioned to him

He nodded and cleared his throat, “You know I love you, right?” He asked looking into my eyes

I nodded slowly, “…Yeah and I love you, too.”

He smiled, “You saying that made me a little less nervous.”

I smiled and nodded encouragingly at him, “Go on.”

He grew nervous again, “Kelsey, I love you with all my heart. You’re my everything. My baby. Even if you weren’t my mate I’d love you till the end of my days. You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I don’t know what’d I’d do without you. I really don’t. From the moment I saw you dressed as a dude. I wondered, ‘Am I gay? Because the most beautiful man is standing in front of me.’

“I tried to push you away but when I found out I couldn’t. I tried to make the best of it. But then I found out you were a girl. You don’t even know how relieved I was. I’m rambling. Anyway, I love you with everything in me. I’ll never let you go until you tell me to.”

Then he stood up and walked around to me, before dropping down on one knee, “Kelsey Elaine Montgomery, will you do me the extraordinary honor of marrying me?” He said holding a purple box in his hand

I covered my mouth with my hand as tears started to prick my eyes, “Yes.” I whispered inaudibly

“What?” He was nervous again

I moved my hand away from my mouth and took a deep breath, “Hell yes, I will!”

He beamed and held the box out to me, “You can open it.”

Tears of joy ran down my cheek as I ran my fingers over the smooth box. I opened it and gasped. There lay the most beautiful ring I have ever seen. I had a sapphire ring in the middle, diamonds surrounding it.

New tears ran down my face as I looked up to see Kyle smiling widely at me with so much love in his eyes I almost gasped again.

“Put it on me.” I said excitedly

He laughed and pulled the ring out of the box. He grabbed my left hand, looking into my eyes. He stayed looking into my eyes as he slid the ring-my ring- on my slender third finger. He kissed my ring and smiled up at me.

I blinked and looked down at my finger. Squealing, I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled his face to mine for a passionate kiss.

I pulled back and looked at my ring. I bit my lip and pressed my lips to his again.

“I love it. I love you.” I whispered against his lips

“I love you, too.” He smiled and wrapped his arms around my waist, “Now, what
