Unfashionably Geeky

Chapter 6

UNFASHIONABLY GEEKY

Right now I am sitting in my bedroom humming an old song that was probably made in 2012, playing games on my computer. 

School has been pretty boring besides Natalie acting weird and Hansel staring at me, but all and all its the standard week at school.

But do not get me started on detention! The same annoying guys have been in detention for the whole entire week. At least I had eye candy because Lance was there for 4/5 times. Hansel was also there a few times, he and I spoke to each other some of the time. He seems really sweet.

I jumped when my phone began to buzz. I looked down and saw that an unknown number had sent me a text.

I felt my stomach turn, these situations stress me out. I am not good in social situations!

Unknown number: Hey Kerina! It's Hansel . Lance gave me your number.

"Thank god' I said aloud, no one was with me so I am not exactly sure why I said that.

"At least I know that it isn't some pedophile.."

Me: oh, hey Hansel!

I saved his number in my contacts so that when he texts me another time I won't freak out.

Hansel: I was wondering if you wanted to catch up today? Maybe go to alimenti surgelati, that new ice cream parlour??

I suddenly felt really nervous. Is this date?? Is he asking me on a date? IS HANSEL WEST ASKING ME ON A DATE!?

Me: ah yeah sure, what time were you thinking??

I replied trying to act cool, but inside I was freaking out.

Hansel: maybe in an hour and 30 minutes? So at 1:30?

Me:  yeah sure, see you then!

Ok ok ok, I just need to relax. Even though I am going somewhere with him doesn't mean he truly likes me and it doesn't mean that I don't have a massive crush on Lance, because I clearly do. He is basically all I think about... Which is kind of sad.

I rushed over to my bathroom. "Thank god I showered and washed my hair this morning." I said to my reflection.

I quickly applied some makeup covering up the dark circles under my eyes. My skin is actually pretty clear, it is just the bags under my eyes.

I walked back into my bedroom and went to my closet. Well.... now my clothes

I reckon Natalie and Jade would be able to help me

I sent a message into a group chat and waited for the reply. I explained where I was going and who I was going with and wanted to dress in a cute casual outfit.

Jade: what? Hansel asked you out!?

Me: that's not what we are talking about, jade and no I don't think its a date...

Natalie: we totally have your back girl! Date or not your gonna look super cutte!

Me: thanks Nat. 

Jade: you know those cute jeans that you have in your 2nd drawer.

Me: the ones that are navy blue??

Jade: no, no, no. The ones that are like a washed out blue .

I loved that my friends knew exactly what I had in my closet. They always like to wear all my clothes, my mom was very in to fashion and she was like a teen when it came to fashion. It did kind of help when she is a fashion designer.... Why did I not get her genes?
