bouquet. “ Y’all go on and have fun.”
    I followed Jason outside, and he held open the door to a brand new Ford Mustang. “What happened to your motorcycle?” I asked as I got in.
    “Did you really think I would let a pretty lady like you ride out in the cold tonight?” he shook his head. Before I got a chance to respond, he gently shut my door and walked around and got in the driver’s seat.
    Once he pulled out onto the street, I started the conversation. “How do you have the money for a brand new car and a brand new motorcycle?”
    He shrugged his shoulders. “I just do.”
    I rolled my eyes at his lack of answer. “Why are you being so nice to me?”
    “Because… I… like… you…” he said it slowly.
    “You’ve said that already.”
    “Because it’s true.”
    “But why do you like me?” I asked.
    “We’ve been over this, Sofia. You don’t see the potential that I see.” He paused for a moment. “When I look at you, I have to remind myself to breathe. Your beauty is absolutely breathtaking. Not only are you the most b eautiful girl I’ve ever met , but you’re also smart, kind-hearted , and forgiving . You have so much love to give.”
    I didn’t know what to say to that.
    “I hate that the other kids at school are so mean. Nobody deserves to be treated like that , but especially not you,” Jason sounded angry. “You’re spectacular , and even if nobody else sees it, know that I do.”
    I took a deep breath to stop myself from crying. I refused to cry in front of him, even if he just said the most romantic thing that anybody has ever said to me.
    “I’m sorry, I’ve made you uncomfortable,” he apologized.
    “No, you didn’t…. I just… Thank you for that. It’s kind of nice having a friend,” I admitted. “You’re sort of awesome.”
    “Wow.”
    “Wow, what?” I asked.
    “It’s just nice to know that, in your own way, you feel the same as I do.” He smiled, and it felt good to know that I was the cause of his happiness. “I might just break through your walls after all.”
    I think you already have , I thought to myself.
    Jason pulled into the skating rink parking lot and turned the car off. “Have you ever been ice skating before ?”
    I shook my head. “Never.”
    Again, he smiled. “I guess I’ll have to teach you then.”
    Jason got us both a pair of skates, and we sat down in the bleachers to put them on. People in the rink who were already skating intimidated me. Ther e were five year olds who could skate better than I could walk.
    “Ready?” Jason asked as I tied the last lace.
    I nodded hesitantly. He grabbed my hand and pulled me to my feet. Together, we very carefully stepped onto the ice , and I immediately fell down , bringing Jason with me .
    “Sorry,” I said shyly as I bit my lip.
    Jason laughed. “You’re so cute.”
    With ease, he pulled me back to my feet. This time, he held on tighter so I couldn’t slip. After only a few minutes of him “dragging” me, I was finally able to move my feet without falling . I looked like a complete fool trying not to fall… It wasn’t exactly the “romantic” moment I had pictured in my head.
    “Sorry that I suck.”
    He laughed. “It’s ok. That just means we have to come back often so we can practice. I’m completely fine with that.”
    I liked the sound of that.
    After ice skating for an hour, and nearly falling about 40 times, Jason and I went to get pizza from a nearby town.
    “What is your favorite kind of pizza?” he asked.
    “Bacon, h am, pineapple and jalapeño,” I answered after careful consideration.
    He looked at me for a moment before speaking. “That sounds extremely gross.”
    I laughed. “No, really, it’s like the perfect blend of hot and sweet. It’s like an explosion of flavor in your mouth.”
    The waitress came up and took our order. To my su rprise he actually ordered the pizza I suggested.
    “I thought it sounded gross?”
    “ What can I say? You’re very
