ELIZABETH
They’re plotting something.
It’s so OBVIOUS.
Jessica barely even TALKED to Salvador before, and now she calls him all the time to discuss MY love life.
I know they’re JEALOUS.
But I wish they’d give it up. Because I really, really LIKE this guy.
“Elizabeth, will you be my girlfriend?” Richard asked.
I bit my lip, completely overwhelmed.
“Elizabeth?” he asked when I didn’t reply.
I let out a nervous laugh. “I’m sorry--yes, of course I’ll be your girlfriend,” I answered.
Richard’s face lit up. He leaned toward me, and before I knew it, his lips were lightly brushing mine in a soft kiss. He pulled back and grinned at me, perfect little dimples appearing in both his cheeks.
There is nothing in the world that can ruin how I feel right now, I thought, turning back around to smile shyly at Richard. Absolutely nothing.
