"So I think the verse here is right, and we don't need to change it again. But we have to find a better title though. What do you think?" Chester asked, pointing at the laptop in front of me. I looked at the lyrics, but I felt so distant. All the letters in front of me started moving and dancing around, coming together to the shape of one name: Anna. I kept looking there in disbelief, then I turned to face Chester, a question in his face.

"Mike? Hello?" He said, waving his hand in front of my face.

"I'm sorry, I don't know what's wrong with me." I said, rubbing my eyes.

"Well, you've worked too hard, why don't you take a rest?" I heard Brad saying as he walked towards me, his hand in my shoulder. He was right, I needed to rest, but more than that, I needed to see her.

"We'll finish this here, okay? You go outside, take some fresh air, buddy." Chester told me.

"But..."

"Go, it's fine." Chester interrupted. He knew how I was feeling, and I did as he said. I knew also that the other guys understood me as well. I left the main room and opened the door of the "Spring Wonderland". That's how we called it, because all the balloons made it like a reflection place. I sat near the piano, and started playing a few notes, with Anna still on my mind. Lately, everything reminded me of her, and how much I needed to be with her.

"That sounds amazing Mike." Chester said, as he came in, a balloon in his hands. "You can tell me anything, you know. What's happening?" He said again, sitting next to me. Of course, I couldn't hide anything from my best friend. I sighed before I started talking.

"I can't stop thinking of her. We haven't talked this week at all, since I... kissed her at that party. And I feel terribly bad. I mean, maybe it was wrong, but I did what I felt."

"You have feelings for her, don't you?"

"Feelings... I think I fell in love since I first saw her. Like, it made feel I was on cloud nine. It's like, I look in her eyes, and I... feel complete. I don't need more than that, just to be with her. Ugh, I don't know what to do Chaz."

"Well, I know what you can do. You find her and tell her what you told me."

"But it's stupid. We met just a week ago. What if she doesn't feel the same way?"

"Look, I know you. I know you're honest. So if your emotions are true, and you feel that way, then that's it. Go for it, man. Do what your heart tells you to. You can even stand on your knees, like this, take her hand, just like that, be gentle, and tell her how you feel." As Chester told me that, he had positioned himself as he said, and he was literally in the position of asking me to marry him. I looked at the door, which was opened, and I noticed Brad, his brows raised, and mouth opened.

"Brad, it's not what you think, okay? Delson come back here..." I said, as Chester stood up and started laughing.

"That's not funny." I told him, and then turned to face Brad. "Yo, how about not mentioning this to anyone?"

"Too late." Dave said, as the rest of the guys came in. Rob was laughing at something Joe was showing him.

"Yep, I already have pictures!" Joe said, and showed it to everyone.

"Oh, great! Guys, it's not what you think, Chester was telling me what I should do with Anna." I said, looking down, still wondering what to do.

"Of course we know. I just don't understand what you're doing here. You should go man." Brad said winking.

"Yeah, and remember what I told you." I heard Chester say to me, while I left the room to meet Anna.

I waited outside her school, and finally noticed her as she greeted her friends. My heart was beating faster, as my legs approached to her. She noticed me coming, and pulled the books closer to her chest.

"Anna, I need to talk to you." I said, looking straight into her beautiful eyes.

"You shouldn't be here, Mike. Please, go." She said, and walked away from me.

"I promise I will, but you should listen to me first."

"Fine, tell me, but I don't have much time. As you can see I'm busy." She said nervously. Deep inside, I knew she wanted to see me as well. It was now or never.

"I'm in love with you Anna. I felt this way since I first saw you and I've been thinking about you all this time. I look into your eyes and I don't need anything else, cause you're all I've wished for." I sat on my knees, and took her hands in mine. Then, she immediately sat as well, surprised at what I had done.

"Mike, what are you doing? Stand up. Everyone is looking at us."

"No, please, you stand up." I gave her my puppy dog look and her books fell on the ground as she stood up.

"Please tell me it's not what I think it is." She said, swallowing hard, and blushed. I smiled innocently, and she did the same. She looked around, to watch everyone else, avoiding eye contact. Then she turned to face me. My heart was beating so fast I could feel it everywhere.

"Anna, will you marry me?" I finally said the words I'd been keeping inside for so long. She smiled at me and then hugged me. She whispered in my ear the words I wanted to hear: Yes!
