His prayers were answered.
He was sat next to the girl he had, before that, adored from afar. It was difficult to concentrate on osmosis when she was sat next to him, her hair, which fell around her in an ebony curtain, the only thing separating them.
Gerard put on his best ‘im the cute, sensitive guy you’ve been looking for’ face, and was just about to start the conversation he would ask her out during, when she turned to him, and in her pretty voice spoke;
“Hey, you’re Gerard, right?”
“Uh... err... yeah, you’re ho- i mean, Helena?”
“Yeah” She said, with a smile. “There was something i wanted to ask you”
“Err, okay, ask away”
“Do you want to come to the part with me this weekend?”
She said it quickly, rushed, like she was nervous.
“You... wanna go... with me?”
“Sure, you seem different. I like different”
“Uh, ok then” Gerard was completely shell-shocked by his good luck.
“When are you picking me up?”
“About 8, at your place?”
“Sure”
“Okay, then”
She smiled at him again, gleaming at her success.
“Uh, one more thing” Ventured Gerard.
“Yeah?”
“What do i wear to a party?”
“What’ve you got?”
“I don’t know”
Helena giggled
“Okay then. Can i come round to yours after school today and help you choose?
“Err, sure come around seven?”
“Great!”

They spent the rest of the lesson sat at the desk, arms touching, both smiling triumphantly.
