Mmm Ice Cream
Taylor got to the school. Damn. He had no idea what this Katrina girl looked like. He remembered John saying she wasn't skinny enough or something along those lines. So he started looking for a bigger girl. Then he saw a girl, with his back to him, right next to the flagpole sitting on the bench. She was wearing a big tshirt and jeans and had very long brown hair. That's all he could see because she wasn't turning around. He decided it was time to go talk to her. He walked right up behind her and stopped. Everyone seemed to have their eyes on him. 'Assholes' he thought bitterly. A few girls were gawking at him. He was going to make sure they got their "big scene" just not exactly how they wanted it to happen.
"Katrina?" he said loud enough for a few people nearby to hear him. She turned around and her mouth dropped open but no sound came out. Taylor Hanson was standing right behind her. He looked at her with a smile. He knew this had to be here.She wasn't fat but you could tell she would never model for Calvin Klein or anything. He knew he had the right girl so he walked around so that he was facing her. She still said nothing, and now everyone was watching to see what was going to happen.
"Katrina? I'm the one that sent you that rose. You want to go and get some ice cream with me?" he said looking at her again.
'Shit. Taylor Hanson. Shit Shit. Shit' was all she was thinking.She slowly nodded her head, afraid that if she opened her mouth she would make a total fool of herself. He gave her a warm smile and grabbed both of her hands, that were resting on her lap, and pulled her up.
The guys that set up the prank watched as Kat walked away not believing that their plan was ruined. The girls who had gathered to see the disaster watched as she walked away holding THE Taylor Hanson's hand!

Kat and Taylor walked to the Dairy Queen in Tulsa in total silence. Taylor didn't know exactly what to say. He hadn't actually written the letter and therefore had no idea what it said. Katrina on the other hand was starting to comprehend that she was holding Taylor Hanson's hand and that he liked her. When they got to the ice cream shop Taylor held the door open for her like a complete gentlemen and they walked up to the line to decide what they wanted.
"So what are you getting?" he asked her. He was looking up at the menu posted on the wall with his hands shoved deep into the pockets of his jeans.
"Uh well I don't have any money with me so I'll just get a water" she said in nearly a whisper, she was obviously uncomfortable still.
"No way, I'm paying for you. Get whatever you want. I'm getting a stawberry sundae with lots of whip cream" he stated looking at her finally. He wanted her to open up to him so he tried to sound very cool and calm about everything.
"Oh..ok..thanks" was all she said. They reached the counter and told the lady their orders. Katrina got a vanilla and chocolate swirl cone and they went and found a booth. Since they were seated across from eachother Taylor got a good look at her face. She
had literally the brightest green eyes he had ever seen and full luscious lips. And the way she was licking her ice cream cone was really getting to him. He was nonchalantly taking spoonfulls of his own ice cream into his mouth while staring at her. Then he moved his eyes down and looked at her hand that was resting on the table. She had pretty long fingernails that were painted blue. 'Cute' he thought. But then something broke his train of thought.
"Taylor.." Katrina was looking at him and giggling. 'Oh no she caught me staring!' was the first thought that flew through his head but then she reached her hand up and wiped the corner of his mouth.
"You had ice cream on your face" she said looking at him. He gave her a sweet smile and her heart fluttered.
"Well..your getting your hair in your ice cream cone" he said and then proceeded to reach across the table and tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. She blushed which caused him to turn a light shade of pink himself. Then suddenly Ike walks up to the table interrupting their staring.
"Yo Tay, what are you doing here?" he asked looking at Tay and then at this girl he had never seen before.
"Oh Hey Ike, I'm here with Katrina" he said guesturing to her. She smiled and Ike gave a smile back.
"Well Dad wants you home, but she can come with. So lets go." he turned around and headed out to the car without waiting for a reply.
"Wanna come over?" he asked Kat hopefully.
"Sure" she replied. And they threw away their garbage before heading out to the car where Isaac was waiting.
