Steve left shortly after, his mood improved. He had an odd feeling in his stomach, something that he hadn't felt before, almost like butterflies were having a party in there.
As he was driving away, Stephanie's image appeared in his mind. While he had thought of her as a childhood friend all these years, this was the first time that he imagined her as a potential girlfriend.
There was something about it that felt new and exciting, causing his heart to thump loudly.
"I'm gonna do it…" He muttered.
With prom coming up this weekend, he only had a few days to get things organized. With a smile on his face, Steve drove home.
