  1. The night before, Emily helped me bake Red Velvet Cupcakes. We frosted them with cream cheese frosting and wrote “P” “R” “O” “M” and “?” on five separate cupcakes, leaving the remaining cupcakes to arrange in the shape of heart around those five crucial cupcakes.
    When Claire pulled up I ran out to the car without my coat and motioned for her to roll down her window.
    “Wait, we can’t leave yet. Come inside for like five seconds!” I hopped up and down like a little kid.
    “Um...ok.” Claire parked her car and followed me in the house and down into my basement where the cupcakes sat in their heart formation. I stayed ahead of Claire and shouted behind me as I descended the staircase, “Don’t say anything until I finish playing!”
    I picked up my ukulele and butchered the song I had written her. I was so nervous. that I messed up my own song, but Claire didn’t notice it. She was so happy that she forgot to answer right away. Spoiler alert: She said yes!

    My motivation was to ask Claire to prom.
