Fortune phoenix- Hiatus

Chapter 14

Once the movie had ended Akira dragged me up to my room and sat me on the bed and started the interrogation of how the date had gone.

"Where'd he take you? Was it nice? Did he pay or did you have to?"

I couldn't help but laugh at this, "you know that French restruant on campus right?" she nodded so I continued on, "he took me there. It was beautiful, I felt totally underdressed. He was so nice and paid for everything and even walked me back."

Her face was blank for a split second before a wide grin appered in the place of the blankness. " HE SO TOTALLY LIKES YOU!" she screamed. I quickly grabbed a pillow and covered her face with it.

"Mind screaming it any louder. Totally want the entire campus knowing that."

Tossing the pillow across the room and crossed my leg and arms and looked at the floor. "Oooooo, you like him back don't you? You should totally ask him out on another date?"

"I don't like him." She just looked at me with an unreadable face, "ok, maybe I like him just a little bit. But not enough to ask him out on a date Akira."

"It doesn't have to be a date, just ask him to hang out with you at lunch or whatever, not that hard."

"Whatever, talk to you in the morning." Waving, I got off the bed and walked out the door and towards my room. When I reached my door Ethan was waiting at it for me. He had his hands in his pockets and was looking at his shoes as he kicked the ground waiting for me. "Whatever you want Ethan, can it wait until the morning, I'm tired and not in the mood for it." I told him, startling him when I first started speaking.

After reconposing himself he started "Van I need to talk to you-"

"Is the world going to end if you don't tell me this right now?"

"But Van-"

"Is it going to end Ethan?" I asked starting to get annoyed with him.

"No, but"

"Then what ever it is it can wait till the morning. No arguments, I'm going to bed." With that I pushed past him and opened my door and slammed it shut in his face. Laying on my bed I didn't even bother pulling the sheets down before I fell asleep.

          *          *          *          *          *

I woke up to my phone going off the next morning. Looking at the screen it said 6:26 am. Answering the phone , "who in the hell is this? It's 6:30 in the morning, this better be good." I growled at the person on the other end.

"Good morning to you to. Didn't know you weren't a morning person. But now I do, so now I'll start saying hello to you when I see you in class." Said an Australian voice.

"Oh, morning to you to Gwindor, sorry about that." I said in a small voice kind of feeling embarrassed.

"It's okay. So... I was wondering if you'd like to hang out again after school. And... I don't know... Go see a movie or something?"

I smiled, "Are you asking me on a date my good sir?"

I could hear the hopefulness in his voice, "It could be... If you want it to be. Do you?"

"I don't know. Do I?"

This time his voice was a bit smug, "Yes you do. So I'll see you after school for out date then?"

"I don't see why not," I replied cheekily, "anyways, since I'm up now I might as well get ready for school. See you later."

"Good bye and see you in class." With that we ended the call. Rolling so that I was facing the ceiling I took a deep breath and processed everything that just happened.

Gwindor called me. He said good morning. He asked if we could hang out. He asked me on a date... HE JUST ASKED ME OUT ON A PROPPER DATE! Even though last night was kind of like a proper date. I squeeled, which was loud enough to alert everyone else in the house. Lucas burst through my bedroom door a moment later.

"What's wrong?"

"I'm going on a date. With Gwindor." I replied monotoniously.

Lucas just started at me, "You're going on a date?" I nodded. "with Prince Gwindor?" I nodded once again. He deadpanned. After a moment of silence he yelled for his sister to come here.

"What's wrong? It's like 6 in the morning, and I need my beauty sleep."

"Van is going on a date with the one and only Prince Gwindor."

Her mouth dropped open and she had no comment. She switched her gaze between the two of us, that was until she decided to announce to the whole campus, "VAN IS GOING ON A PROPPER DATE WITH SOMEONE SHE LIKES! Thank the Lord the day has finally come!"

"Oh my God Akira, shut up. Now both of you get out of my room I have to get ready."

"Not without my help missy. Now sit down and be quiet while I choose your outfit for today. Then I'll help you with your hair and makeup and- OH MY GOD WHY AREN'T YOUR SHOES ORGANIZED?" Akira continued.

Sitting on the bed I waited patiently for her to finish her task of choosing my outfit. She chose a cute pink keyhole back dress with a pair of white lace wedges and a light wash jean jacket. Once I was changed into that she dragged me to her room where she sat me down at her beauty table and grabbed some black mascara and eyeliner and a metallic pink lip gloss to match my dress. Once she had done my makeup she simply handed me a pair of bowtie earnings. Once she deemed me ready to go and face the world I was able to leave. Ready to face the rest of the day and my date with Gwindor tonight.

A/N ♫ hey everyone, it's only been exactly 10 months since I've last touched with story. But here it is. I'm still classifying this story as 'on hiatus' for now. With my school starting on the 24 I should hopefully get back to writing, I'll have a reason to be on my computer more since I'm taking 2 writing classes this semester. The link should take you to the outfit the Akira had Van wear for the day. If not here's the link; http://www.polyvore.com/just_peachy_school_outfit/set?id=147969254
