Life Is Sweet - Bethan Rees (good books to read for adults txt) 📗

Oh my GOD!!
He loves me!
I'm in LOVE!!!

With who, you may wonder?
Well...
JOSH KEYES, THE MOST GORGEOUS GUY IN THE SCHOOL!!!!!

:)

He came up to me at homeroom today. I was just doodling away with my scented gel pens until I dropped my favourite - Bubblegum

! Just as I was about to pick it up, Josh came and picked it up for me. Our hands met. Our eyes met, too.
'Hey.' I said, shyly.
'Hey, Tanya.' Josh replied.
There was a two minute silence, until Josh whispered something in my ear.
'I think I love you...' he whispered.

In afternoon homeroom, I got given a love note!

So I replied:


I couldn't wait for my first date! (Hey, that rhymes!)

At Cafe Rose, we chose an outside table (sunny day for November!). We ordered a Coke each and two blueberry muffins. Then, we went shopping.
At one point, Josh stopped to dash into a small jewellery shop. He came out with a small purple box with a 'SALE - Reduced to £20' label on it.
'It's a surprise...' he hissed.


Afterwards, we went to the park and sat down in a bench by the lake with the swans.
'Tanya, I have something for you.' Josh said.
He pulled out the purple box. He winked and opened the box.
There, was a small, sparkly sapphire ring.

'Will you be my girlfriend?' he asked.
Shocked, I stared, mouth open wide and then whispered:
'Yes.'
Josh slipped the ring onto my finger and then he kissed me.
My first kiss! It felt beautiful, like I'd just been kissed by an angel.

After that, Josh walked me home.
'See you later, Tanya!' He called as I went in.
'Yeah, see you!' I called back, joyfully.

I told my parents and older sister (by 2 years!) the whole thing.
'...and then he held out this sapphire ring and KISSED ME!!!' I squealed.
'Wow! To celebrate, Mum's making spaghetti bolognese. Do you want Coke?' Dad replied.
'Yes, please!' I cried.

Today was the best day of my LIFE

!
(So far!)

Homework Count: ZERO! :)
