I want to scream. I want to run. But all I do is stand there frozen...
"Drew..." I whisper
"Emma..." He says clearly mocking my tone.
"Look... I don't want you around me or I'm gonna go n-"
"But I just got here... And I really need to talk to you..." He says smirking placing his hand around my waist.
I push his arms off of me and spit in his face, "STAY AWAY FROM ME!" I yell to get everyone's attention
I let go of his tight grip around my waist and go ahead inside the store, I'm still in a cold sweat from seeing Drew again.
"Mom!" I yell across the store
Of course every mom who's in the store immediately looked at me so I called my mom by her actual name...
"Anna! Anna Willows!" I yell
I suddenly see my mom by the fruit area and walk to her
"Your phone kept on ringing so I thought I might bring it to you!" I say
"Are you okay?" She asks
"Yeah I'm fine... Why do you ask?" I question
"Because you're sweating and your face has flushed from color, you look pale" she explains
"Oh I just ran here really quickly and I'm still sick remember?!" I lie, "well I'll head back to the car now! Okay bye love you!" I mumble
I head back to the car after buying a bag of skittles and get in the car...
10 minutes later my mom arrives with the groceries and we get ready to head back to the house.
Now I can finally prepare for this date, but I can't focus ever since Drew saved me from getting hit by a car, especially since...
"COLE...?" I say... I get up and look out the window to see Cole, up in my Blossom tree.
"Surprise...!" He says
"Oh my god! Get in here!" I demand, "what about school? It's only 5th period now!"
"I ditched it... I left after I got picked up from being "sick" and now I'm supposedly on my way to the grocery store getting things that I need." He says, "but I'm here... With you."
This, of course, brings on an immediate blush
"It really looks like a tornado hit this place..." Cole says observing my room
"Oh well... I was just, um, preparing for tomorrow..." I say awkwardly
"We're just going to the park!" He says
"We're not going to meet BEYONCÉ or anything"
"I wish we were though..." I say
I hear footsteps and realize my mom doesn't know I have a date tomorrow, she thinks I'm still sick kind of and she doesn't know I have my soon-to-be boyfriend in my room!
"HIDE!" I whisper shout
"Where?" He asks
"Under the bed..." I reply quickly
"Okay..." Cole says making his way down underneath.
"Sweetie can I come in?" She asks
"UH... Sure!" I say climbing onto my bed and grab the nearest thing, my drawing journal, and begin to finish my latest piece, which is the silhouette of a girl looking ghost like...
