“I dont know what to do…” makayla said to my as we walked into school. “Well, you know he likes you, and you like him. he already took you to a dance, and tried his best to make it a date. Just ask him out on a real date!” I said to her. All she talks about the is that damn boy, Tony. We both liked him, but he has taken her on a date and told me that he would break my neck. Or, so ive heard. “But I CANT! I could never.” she said, looking down at the floor. She makes me so goddamn mad with that. “Fuck it, im asking him.” I told her, immediately getting smacked on my arm. “No you will not!” she yelled in my ear. “C’mon maykay, Itll be so easy! I can ask you for him, ill even take you! God, its so easy.”. She sat there and thought long and hard about it.
“Fine.”
It was second period now, and I walked up to Tony. I used to not be able to talk to him, because anxiety. But I left that behind, and just dont give a shit anymore. I walked up to him and poked his back. He turned around and looked at me. “Oh hey. Watchu need?” he said. “Come over here.” I said as i started walking to a more secluded part of the classroom. “Do you wanna go out with makayla?” I quickly said, which shocked him. “Makayla? I-I mean…” he said as I gave him a blank stare, “Sure!”. “Saturday, 11:30, red river theater.” I said as he gave me a thumbs up and the bell rang.
* time skip thru that long boring ass week*
“I cant do this!” makayla yelled as I pushed him to my van. “Yes. You. Can!” I said as I fought back against her. She was persistent though. “C’mon makayla, you have to go! I already asked him for you and he accepted. Literally all you have to do is sit and watch a movie with him!” I told her as I pushed her into the van and locked the door on her. I ran to the drivers side and we started driving to the theater. “Its not the situation, its just him! I cant be around him without physically having a panic attack!” she said as we got downtown. “Just calm down. Good lord, you both like eachother, get over it.”
We pulled up to the theater to see that he was already there, waiting on her. I parked and got her out to walk her up there. “Hey, are you gonna take her home or do you want me to pick her back up.” I asked Tony. “Ill take her home.” he said with no emotion on his face. “Alright then, ima go then.” I said as I started walking back to the van, but being pulled back by a strong arm. I look back to see that both of them grabbed my arm. “Ugh, what now?” I asked with annoyance in my voice.
“Please stay.” she said softly, “ill freak out if you dont.”. I groaned loudly, letting my head fall back and my back arch before coming back up. “Are you fine with it?” I said to Tony. “Yeah, i dont care.” he said. “Fine, ill stay.” I said, pinching the bridge of my nose in annoyance. “Yay!” she exclaimed and hugged me, abit too hard. We walked up to the little booth and looked at the movies that were on.
“What do you want to watch?” Tony asked makayla. “I-I dont know… What do you want to watch, Ken?” she said to me. “Oh good lord, quit being shy and just choose a damn movie!” I said angrily. They both stood there, being the awkward potatos they are. “Oh my fucki- fine. Umm… Insidious chapter 3.” I said as I pulled out my wallet and paid for my ticket. Id already seen it like 3 times, and I didnt care anymore. I could be at home, taking care of my plants or finishing an outfit or something. “Ok…” he said.
I swear to god, they’re so damn awkward.
We walked into the theater and took a seat up at the top, by makayla. I was wondering why it was so empty, but then i remembered that it was only 12. The movie started up, and i sat there and watched the movie and watched as they would get closer and start snuggling, and How they would both jump at the basic jumpscare. It looks like my work here is done.
I got up from my chair and started to walk out from the theater, but was grabbed again. “Where are you going?” tony whispered. “Ima leave, yall seem to be fine.” I said, about to walk away again. “You cant go!” He said, “You already paid for a ticket, and what if she freaks out again?”. I looked over at her to see. She was contently snuggled up on his arm, like a baby. “Shes fine, nd ive already seen this. Just let me go.” I said, trying to pull my hand away.
But he yanked me back into a seat and wrapped his arm around me. I was now feeling so awkward. I tried to pull away, but he would always pull me back and ly his head on me. After a few minutes I was getting real tired of it and got up. “Im just gonna use the bathroom.” I told him. He just nodded and I walked out of the theater to my van. Finally, some peace.
Vrr vrr. Can people just leave me alone? I pull out my phone and look to see who it is. Jason: hey, I have a project due next week and I need some help, can you come over? Im just gonna kill myself. Dont you have other people to hang out with? I texted him back as I started to drive away and out of town to the suburbs. I almost drove past the gradening shop but decided to get some stuff. All my friends are either out doing something or dont have it, he texted back. Uuuuugh, this boy. I put my phone in my pocket without responding and walked into the store. “Hey Ken, what do you need?” the old lady said. “Not much, its just that Im not at my house enough to remember to water them frequently. I need a watering house.” I told her. She point over to isle three, so I started walking.
Vrr vrr. I swear to god im not gonna be able to enjoy my morning. So will you come? He texted again. “It seems like somethings bothering you.” the old lady said, spooking me. “Its this boy! He wont leave me alone, and ive already had a weird day. I just wanna relax.” I told her, running a hand through. “Well, I dont know the situation, but maybe you should give him a chance. He seems like he really needs it.” she said, flashing her sweet old lady smile at me. “Alright, but only because you said so.” I told her. We walked to the counter, and I rung up my purchase. And went on the road to jason’s house.
