First Boyfriend?

My heart pounded against my chest,
My face grew beetroot from embarrassment as Kate skipped across the workshop,
My hands shuddered with fright,
Kate was trying to play cupid again, asking this guy Nate out for me.

Why was I so scared? I never was before…
Did I actually like this guy?
Her gleaming face darted towards me,
“WHAT HAS SHE DONE?” I screamed in my head,
I had butterflies racing in my stomach,
I clenched my hands to stop the trembling but it made them sweatier.

She passed me a crumbled sheet of paper,
on it was written ‘my number is…’ in scruffy handwriting,
I looked up at her unsure of which this had meant,
Yes? No?
Her eyes were telling me yes,
‘Go talk to him!’ she encouraged

I sluggishly dragged my feet over,
Adjusted my hair quickly,
Our eyes locked – hypnotised by each other we couldn’t look away
I sighed in relief…

Yes.
