Derek waved to Krystal, and watched as she left. "So Avery..." Derek cleared his throat and wiped his palms on his blue jeans. "I..um hold on" Derek quickly spun around so that Avery couldn't see the flowers he took out of his backpack. He spun back around with the roses in his hand, "Will you, i mean do you want to go to the dance with me?" Derek used his melt your heart smile, but then continued to ramble. "I mean you don't have to come, if you had other plans or something. Or if you wanted to go with someone else, i mean you and Tanner have been getting close and i know that..." Derek kept going on and on.
