Amora

I slumped down onto the bench, letting out a bored huff.

Carrie and I continued to watch the group playing on the field, before they slowly stopped and took a break.

"So, how's it going with your boyfriend?" Kenny teased, laughing along with squints and yeah-yeah as they walked towards us.

"He's not my boyfriend" I spat, angrily crossing my arms at his remark.

"Ugh but I wish" I muttered, looking down as I played around with the hem of my skirt.

"Yeah yeah he is! We saw you drooling over him yesterday!" Yeah-yeah laughed, pointing at me.

"You looked just like this!" Squints laughed, before doing a ridiculous imitation of me.

Everyone erupted into laughters, watching as he continued to completely fail at imitating me.

"Shut up I was not! At least I didn't pretend to be dead just so I could get a kiss like some desperate freak!" I shouted, smacking his shoulder.

"At least I actually got a kiss!" Squints pointed at himself, with a proud smile.

"Can we please not talk about this stupid Edward guy!" Benny groaned, rolling his eyes at our conversation.

I let out another huff as I crossed my arms again, leaning back onto the fence while listening to the new subject they brought in.

I glanced over towards the entrance noticing someone from the corner of my eye, before doing an immediate double take once I noticed that someone was Edward.

"Amora! Oh my god your little boyfriend is here!" Carrie exclaimed, nudging my arm and ushering me to go.

Quickly I dug into my bag pulling out a small bottle of fragrance, quickly spraying it on.

I pulled out a small mirror fluffing up my hair, and scurrying around as I set everything back down before rushing over.

Everyone eyes followed me as I walked over, placing my hands behind my back nervously.

"Hi Edward! Uh, what are you doing here?" I stammered, fiddling with my fingers.

"Oh, I wanted to talk to you. I see you go here a lot, so I thought I'd find you here" he explained, with a small laugh after.

I let out a small laugh before nodding and briefly glancing back to see everyone staring at me as they listened in our conversation.

"So, um you wanted to talk! About?" I turned around quickly, hoping he wouldn't notice them.

"Oh, I just" he trailed off, rubbing his hands nervously.
"Wanted to ask, If you can come to fair with me?" He asked, chuckling nervously.

Immediately my face lit up, smiling widely.
"Yes! I mean of course sure!" I nodded, smiling happily.

"Cool, I'll meet you there. Tell your friends I said hi" he laughed, before turning around.

I watched him walk towards the gate before turning around, and giving me a wave.

I smiled returning the gesture, before letting out the breath I was holding in immediately once he was gone.

"Oh my god!" I shouted, quickly speed walking back towards everyone.

"Amora! You have a date!" Carrie shrieked as she stood up, meeting up with me.

"A what?" Benny exclaimed, standing up and looking between us both in confusion.

"Can you utterly believe it? Oh my gosh I could so faint right now!" I squealed, grabbing onto her hands excitedly as I looked at them both.

"I can't. Who would possibly want to go on a date with you?" Aubrey scoffed, shaking her head in disgust.

"Awe how sweet" Squints sang teasingly, mocking Carrie and I's excitement.

"Yeah nobody cares about you're stupid love life trash face" Aubrey snickered, giving me an annoyed glare.

"At least I have one! Unlike oh? You!" I pointed towards her, making her roll her eyes.

"Hold on- you're going on a date with that guy?" Benny questioned, furrowing his eyebrows in confusion.

"I know right! Oh, I can't even believe it either!" I clapped my hands, jumping up and down happily.

"Why? He's a blockhead, a square!" He insulted, making me pause from my jumps and roll my eyes.

"No, he's a total babe that can style just like Ricky Nelson!" I defended, pushing his shoulder.

"I don't think you should go out with him" he crossed his arms, making me immediately scoff.

"And why not?" I rose my eyebrow, questioning his statement.

"I don't know, but he doesn't seem like a good guy Amora" he shrugged, shaking his head in disapproval.

"How so?" I scoffed, crossing my arms.
"I don't know, he just does alright!" Benny insisted, rubbing the back of his neck unsurely.

"Wow, your logic is absolutely flawless!" I smiled sarcastically.
"Besides, he's not a bad guy you don't even know him!" I exclaimed, flailing my hands around.

"I don't got to know him to know that he is not good for you" He continued, looking at me with a stern expression.

"Ugh. You totally sound like my dad right now" I rolled my eyes, looking down to my nails.

"But, you!" I started, poking his chest.
"Are not the boss of me, Carrie let's go I so need to go shopping right now!" I shook my head, turning around to her.

I grabbed onto her hand as Benny watched, shaking his head when I pushed past him.
