"WILL!!" Gordon called me from afar. It was already the end of the school day and mostly everyone is out of school somewhere. I was about to go home when he called me. I turned my heel and faced Gordon who was walking toward me.
"What?" I said to him.
"I need to talk to you about a thing."
"Be more specific..."
"Well, remember what Rosemary said? About..." His voice wandered off.
"What did she say?" I started to sound like a prick.
"Let's just say... The "date thing"." He motioned indents. Oh, that "thing".
"Oh. Yeah, what about it?.." I asked him.
"Uhh... Duh, you and Danica are coming duh..."
"Oooh... Well, you know that I'm not into that stuff... So yeah.." Gordon just rolled his eyes at me.
"Whatever... If Danica is going, I'm sure that YOU are going." He pat me on the back. That's a ridiculous idea... Even though it may be true...
"I'll just come over to plan the night." He stated and went off to whatever class he has.
Great, I'm going on a date with Danica, Rosemary, and Gordon.

Danica

Will texted me to meet him at the back of the school. That sounded creepier out loud... Anyways, I waited for him for a few minutes. I saw him coming here already. I waved and approached him.
"What's up?" I said to him.
"I just need to ask you something."
"Yeah? What's it about?" I'm extra curious and cautious today.
"I'm just asking if you want to go out tonight?" He asked me nonchalantly. I could feel my cheeks burn up. Is it obvious that I'm blushing? William Henderson is asking me out on a date this time, with no stuttering!
"Y-You, are asking me?" I stated the obvious.
"Yeah, well because remember that thing Rosemary said about the four of us having a double-date because of Gordon?" He said. Oh, that...
"Yeah..."
"Yeah, well we have to go because he forced me too..." Ugh, F you Gordon.
"Sure..." I sounded like a bitch. "But, are you still asking me, uhh... Sincerely?" He just stayed quiet. What does that mean? Nothing?

William

I'm asking Dani out on this formal kind of date, not just because of Gordon. Well, there is that but, I really want to ask her because... Wait, am I really official with Dani? I should really get to that, I need to ask her.
