Alone... // ON HOLD

6

As I drive my old beat up truck out of my mom's driveway, I only think of how Brandon was so nice to me even though I treat him like crap. Now that I think of it, I remember what Kat said to Garett....

"Brandon, is Lilly's soon-to-be boyfriend."

Is she setting me up? No, Kat it's too soon. Is it? It's been 185 days...

"Yo Lilly...um, I- I wanted to ask you something..." Zane stutters and I look up at him.

"About girls..." But I chuckle and simply respond with,

"Ha! Ask Tucker, I'm sure his girl-ego can help you with this one." I can't say I'm the most popular girl in school, of course that spot goes to Melanie, but I'm not the average girl, either. I'm more of a Tom Boy. If anything, I will not try out for cheerleading, but I will try out for football... After all, I'm 6 foot.

"But I'm serious... I wanted- I wanted..." Zane looks at me. I sigh and ask what he wanted.

"I wanted to ask- this girl- out." And I look him in the face as he blurts this out, and then looks at the floor.

"Ok I get it, what can I help you with?"

After I spoke with Zane about his mysterious girl, I decided to grab some pizza, and maybe stop off at Kat's house. I am really honestly trying to make my life .1% better. At most.

"Hello, can I please have a large pepperoni pizza, and some ranch dressing on the side please." The cute boy taking my order nods and says,

"Would you like a drink too?" When I shake my head, he says under his breath, "Okay then... I am talking to a really beautiful girl..." And I'm pretty sure my cheeks turn the color of a tomato.

*****
I look at my phone, as its buzzing really loudly, while I am driving.

Brandon and Jacklin kissing.

My mouth falls open, and I quickly glance up long enough to see the car coming right into mine.

That's all I remember before I black out.
