Girl grennie

Chapter 7, Date?

~We continue~

(Your pov)

I walked towards the garden and started thinking what am I supposed to do.

I like Newt, but this will never go any further and Jeff is so sweet and also always have showed support towards me. He learned me a lot and we work together everyday depending on trusting each other. Maybe this crush on Newt doesn't mean anything? I should give Jeff a chance and going out on one date doesn't mean we are going to die together. It's just to see where it's going.

-Hey Lizzy, Kevin said walking up to me in front of the garden. -Oh hey, I said getting out from my thoughts. -Zart and Newt are done with that stamp so you were supposed to help me with the wood to bonfire that is next week, Kevin said smiling brightly and I smiled back weaker. -Sure, I said shrugging my shoulders and followed Kevin towards the forest edge. Kevin seem more nervous walking next to me and boys stared at us as well as we walked.

-Is something special happening? I asked looking around myself. -Oh no. Of course not. You know boys are always curious about you Liz, Kevin said confidently and I knew they always somewhere did stare but it didn't bother me anymore. -Probably, so you think the next greenie might be a girl? I asked curiously while we walked into the forest. -I don't know. It could be, but no girl will be as beautiful as you are, Kevin said bending down picking up couple branches laying on the ground. -Thank you, but am kind of serious. I mean I can't be the only girl forever, I said picking up wood too. -I know we aren't the best company, but do you really want another girl here? Am not trying to be rude or mean, but what if she's not who you want her to be? She could go against you, Kevin said looking little worried.

-I wouldn't think a.. Maybe you're right? She could see me as competition or something. -It would be fanatic to have another girl here so you could talk with her about things you don't want to talk with us tho. Am not trying to make you go against her. -I understand what you mean, but you could be right. Life isn't always the way we plan. -Of course it's not, but you deal with it anyway. -Yeah, you are so good to talk with. -Doing my best and maybe we could continue talking... you know by hanging out? Kevin asked having his arms filled with branches and twigs. -Hanging out how? I asked standing straight holding less wood in my arms. Kevin cleared his throat and I knew where this was going. -Like a date? Maybe tonight? You don't have to agree of course. It's all fine if you don't want to, we still can be friends, Kevin said with a nervous laugh and I exhaled feeling guilty to say no.

-Kevin don't take it wrong, but someone already did ask me out, am sorry, I said weakly and Kevin smiled. -It's ok Liz, but could you still help me with the wood? I can't take it all by myself, Kevin said playing it off and I smiled weakly. -Sure, am still so sorry, I said exhaling in a guilty tone and Kevin chuckled at me. -Don't be sorry, you can't split in two, Kevin said not seeing bothered by the rejection. -Yeah let's get done, I said tilling my head towards the Glade and we carried the wood out.

~Time skip~

I helped Kevin get wood for almost whole bonfire next week and it was starting to get dark. I brushed off wood dust off me and Kevin looked at the walls. -Sorry to take so much of your time Liz, Kevin chuckled looking at me. -No it's fine, I'll just get back to homestead, I said smiling and walked through the green space towards the wooden building. I thought of what I should take on since it's my first date ever or since I remember. I putted my hands into my pockets and walked being in my thoughts again.

What did Jeff plan? Or are we just gonna sit and talk? Both things are great and I could get to know Jeff even better too. I still feel bad about Kevin, but I see him just as a friend. I can't imagine us together.
