Cross My Heart!

May 4, 2013 By Talya Tate Boerner 21 Comments

100 Words on Saturday – Week 9: Write exactly 100 words based on the picture prompt…
No, Becky, cross my heart, I’m not lying! After English class, he sat beside me in the library. At first, I ignored him and read my book. Really I stared at the words on the page and pretended to read while wondering why on earth he chose the seat next to me when there were tons of empty chairs in the library. He’s soooo cute, and he made me nervous. I almost fainted when he leaned over and whispered in my ear, will you ask Becky if she likes me?
Pinkie swear, those were his exact words.
So do you?
