He Chose Me (9)

Chapter 9 (Why me still)
"..."Race ya to the end of the street?" I asked..."

"Okay!" Rose said.
I focused my eyes on the mailbox at the end of the street and let my legs do all the work, I ran as fast as I could; breathing in through my nose and out through my mouth.
I slowed down as I was nearing the mailbox.
Then suddenly Rose overtook me.
"Beat Ya!" She claimed victoriously."Okay okay, you win!" I laughed.
She smiled triumphantly.

"Rose... Um.. Why ME?" I asked seriously. "Didn't we go through this before? She wondered.(refer to part 5) "Sorta... But I asked you what it meant... Not why he chose me... I said.
"Oh.. I see..well, to be honest,It's probably because you look trustable and sincere, I know It sounds kinda cliché but it's truly your inner beauty that shines out and you are gorgeous!"she exclaimed-out of breath from running. "Mhm... I don't see it..but..." I sigh.
"But you're YOU and yes "...that's what makes you beautiful, just be yourself okay? You'll be fine." she says as she tries to calm me. "Thanks rose" I hug her. "Now hurry and get freshened up, eat a light dinner and I'll call you ok?"she smiles.
"Okay" I agree.

I walk home quickly, still grinning like crazy.
They say "Butterflies in your stomach" but to me they felt like bats.
I reached my house and knocked on the door.
My mother let me in.
"Hello mother!" I say cheerily.
"I see how it is," she smirked. "How what is?" I ask. "Haha, you have been asked out haven't you?!"she kissed me on the cheek and congratulated me.
"b-but, how did you know???" I was surprised.
"I was your age once too you know, it's also the grin on your face honey!" she explained. "Oh silly me!" I laughed.

"So.. May I Please please please go?" I begged.
"I guess so, as long as your cautious-you know the drill, take your phone and all that okay. One thing though, whose this guy eh?she replied.
"What's his name?"
"Kyle" I answered.
"describe him" she told me. "Well, he's actually new.. And he's a few centimeters taller than me, beautiful blue eyes," I blush. "Shortish brown hair, he ignores the Populars and all the flirty girls!!! he chose me!!" I rush. My mother gasped"No!"
"YES!" I squeal.
"Aw, I'm so happy for you! Where do you need to go and what time?" she asked inquisitively. I handed her the note, she smiled as she read it. "Oh thats pretty close!" she agreed to take me. "go have a shower and freshen up alrighties?" she advised. "Okay, thanks!" I skipped to my room.
