Astrea spent the last two classes trying to balance between listening to her teachers and thinking about Ezra , which was out of regular for her. She wasn't boy crazy nor was she one of those girls who were everybody's friend only to fight with them later on.
in fact she only had one friend who was Ciara , this came as a shock to people as from behind she was a girl wearing pink who was supposed to be friendly but from the front she didn't look as friendly.
*RING**RING**RING*
And that was the closing bell as Astrea made her way out of the class to find Ciara s
,once she did on her way out she suddenly heard a familiar voice that she had been daydreaming about a couple minutes ago.
"Astrea!", Ezra yelled not looking out of breathe even though he had just ran about a hundred feet to see her before she went home and also ask her out.
Astrea turned around and said "Oh,Hi Ezra",Astrea said happily with a slight of blush to the utter shock of Ciara, because she had never seen her friend blush.
"uh hi",Ezra said awkwardly.
"So...",he drawled to the anticipation of Astrea and even Ciara.
"Would you like to go out with me tomorrow since its Saturday?",Ezra asked Astrea with high hopes which made Ciara smile and Astrea widen her eyes in shock.
"Yeah, sure",Astrea said trying to play it of cool,even though she could tell she was blushing.
'What's wrong with me?,why am I blushing?,this isn't me', Astrea asked herself internally.
"Great,can I have your address so I can pick you up?", Ezra asked
"Yeah , I live at 2477 shinn street ",Astrea replied.
"Great I'll pick you up by seven o'clock tomorrow"
"See you then", As Ezra walked away she suddenly realized that she didn't know where they would go.
"Ezra",Astrea yelled as she ran after him envying his long legs.
Ezra turned around hearing the familiar voice. "What's wrong?",Ezra asked somewhat concerned that she wanted to take back her previous answer.
"It's just that you didn't say where we would be going and so I don't what wear ",Astrea said.
"oh...",Ezra said with a sigh of relief. "...it's a surprise,but it doesn't matter what you wear I'm sure that you will good in anything you were",He said making Astrea blush much to her own dismay.
"Okay", she simply said and scurried away leaving Ezra with a smile on his face.
"We good?",Ciara asked with a smile of her own.
"Yeah let's go",Astrea said as they made they're way out.
On their way out Ciara noticed her friend not paying much attention with a dreamy look on her face which was out of character for Astrea.
"ASTREA!",Ciara yelled snapping her out of her reverie.
"Huh", Astrea replied.
"Are you daydreaming?", Ciara asked with a rather amused smile on her face, feeling happy for her friend.
"What?,of course not.I have no idea what your talking about ", Astrea said trying to believe her lie when In fact she was daydreaming about a certain blue eyed specimen.
"Really,okay", Ciara drawled not believing a word she just said. As they were talking they failed to realize that they had gotten to Astrea's house.
Astrea was the first to realize and said "Well this is my stop,bye".
"Bye",Ciara said and with that Astrea made her way way Inside.
"Mom , dad I'm home", Astrea yelled as her younger siblings Iris who was six and Sean who was eight ran up to her all excited.
"Hey hunny",Her mum said.
"Hey",Her dad joined in.
"I hope you paid attention in class we can't have you getting an A- now can we?", her mum asked.
She knew she didn't pay attention so she lied"of course I did".
"So a guy asked me out today can I go with him?", Astrea asked expecting them to say no.
"of course ", they said to her surprise and they must have noticed this because they said "Listen we were on Facebook and we saw a story of parents that were pushing they're child too hard and then she cut of ties with her parents and we don't want the same thing to happen to us. You're an honor role student and that's more than enough".
"wow,thank you guys", Astrea said holding back tears of joy personally not knowing how long she had been waiting to hear that from her parents and with that she went upstairs happier than she had been in a long time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Astrea ran her hand across a short pink dress with belle sleeves as she contemplated how. to style her hair. Then her alarm began to Ring it was thirty minutes past five which left her with only an hour and thirty minutes to get ready before Ezra came to pick her up . Though some might argue that this is a long time it really isn't,because of how high maintenance her long curly hair is.
She entered went on to take a cool shower and once she came out she dried her hair and put on her dress so that she wouldn't have to have to worry about the dress messing up her hair once she was done.
She started applying coconut oil and Shea butter all over her hair. She also applied gel to ensure her curls stayed in place and then she decided to give herself a side part. After she decided she was happy with it ,she had to look for the right shoes, she originally wanted to wear heels but for the good of everyone especially her feet , she chose to wear a pair of pink sneakers.
Once she was dressed, she got call from Ezra saying that he was outside,as she made her way downstairs her mother suddenly yelled "Have fun honey" and her father yelled "If he tries anything I will murder him". After her mum finished reprimanding her had they both yelled "We love you", to which she replied "l love you too ", and made her way outside .
Once she mad her way outside, Ezra who was dressed in black jeans and a black button up shirt with a chain and a leather bracelet came out of his car.
As soon as he saw her his jaw dropped as he thought of how well her pink dress complemented her dark skin and how beautifully it contrasted from her emerald green eyes. He was convinced that he had never seen anybody as beautiful as the girl walking towards him.
"Hi", Astrea said snapping him out of his reverie.
