*Monday during lunch at school*
*Amy's P.O.V.*
When the bell rang for lunch I went outside to the table where we usually sit and sat down. A few minutes later Mike came and sat down too.
"Hey," he said as he took his usual seat next to me.
"Hey," I replied.
"Hey, umm.. I've been meaning to ask you something... " Mike said a bit slowly.
"Yeah? What is it?" I asked.
"Well," he said as he let out a sigh. "If you would be my girlfriend," he said slowly. "But if it's too soon from the break up with your last boyfriend it's totally fine, I'll understand," he said quickly but I cut him off by putting my finger to his mouth.
"Shh... yes. I've been waiting for you to ask me!" I said as I hugged him and kissed him on his cheek. I saw him blush. I chuckled a little at that. A few minutes later Bekah, Billie and Taylor walked up and sat down.
"Hey guys," Bekah said sitting down next to Billie, and Taylor sitting on the other side of her.
"What's up?" asked Billie.
"I need to go to the bathroom, Bekah, Taylor, will you come with me?" I asked
"Yeah, sure," said Taylor and Bekah in unison.
When we got to the bathroom I told them what had happened.
*Mike's P.O.V.*
"Why do girls always have to go in groups when they go the bathroom?" Billie asked
"I think I know why she went," I replied.
"Why? What happened?"
"I just asked Amy out," I replied shyly.
"Really?! What did she say?" he asked.
"She said yes and that she had been waiting for me to ask her."
"That's awesome, dude. I'm glad for ya," Billie said as the girls were walking back.
"I assume everyone knows now," Bekah said.
"Knows what?" Taylor asked confusedly.
"What I just told you, you moron," said Amy.
"Oh! Right. Gotcha," Taylor said as the rest of us started laughing.
*Taylor's P.O.V.*
Later on that day when I got home I decided to call Bekah.
"Hello?"
"BEKAH!"
"Yes Taylor?" she said.
"I THINK DOLLY IS SICK!"
"What the hell makes you think your fish is sick?"
"It hasn't eaten very much lately," I said.
*Bekah's P.O.V.*
"So you think your fish is sick.. you are so freaking weird."
"Bekah! I don't want him to die! I've had Dolly for.. for.. for forever!" she said.
"Wow, well if it was a dog that was sick, I'd tell you to go to the vet, but in this case I'm not sure what you can do... " I said trying to make her feel better.
*BEEP*
"Taylor, hold on, someone is on the other line."
"Hello?"
"Hey Babe!" said Billie.
"Oh, hey, just a sec, lemme hang up with Taylor and I'll talk to you."
"No, it's ok, I was just gonna see if you were still coming this weekend to help with the drummer thing."
"Yeah, of course, and I'm sure Amy will want to now, and I'll drag Taylor along regardless."
"Ok, I'll see you then."
"Bye Babe" I said as I hung up with him and switched back to the line Taylor was on.
"Ok, back" I said.
"Who was it?"
"Billie, he wanted to know if we were still going to help with the auditions this weekend."
"Did you tell him I was going?"
"Yes I did."
"But how did you know if I was going or not?"
"Because I told him that I was going to drag you along regardless of whether or not you wanted to come."
"Well you're a real nice person," she said sarcastically.
"Yeah, I get that quite often actually," I said in the same tone.
"BEKAH!"
"What?"
"DOLLY!"
"What about him?"
"I think he might be dead!"
"And what makes you think this?" I asked trying to act concerned.
"I don't know, I just thought so, but he's not, he's swimming around now."
"Well that's good I guess. You know, I'm really surprised that thing hasn't died yet, you've had it since you were what, four?"
"Yup! I got him at the fair, remember?"
"That's amazing. Not so much that he just lived long, but because the fish you win at the fair never stay alive for more than a week!"
"I must be a natural with animals."
"Or just lucky," I added.
"Whatever."
"Well, I'm going to go to bed, I'm tired. I'll see you tomorrow at school ok?"
"Kay, night," she said as we both hung up.
*Friday*
"BEKAH!" Taylor yelled running up to me in the locker room.
"Woman, chill yourself. What is your deal?"
"Dolly!" she said.
"What did he finally die?" I asked sarcastically.
"Yes!" she said sadly.
"Oh, he did? I'm sorry!" I said as I hugged her.
"Can we have a funeral for him tomorrow?" she asked me.
"Well we have the auditions remember?"
"Yeah, but can't we still have one?"
"I'll talk to Billie, maybe he can think of something."
"Kay, thanks Bekah," she said as the bell rang and we both headed to class.
