teen romance

dinner dates

I walked into the diner to find the two girls I was GOING to ask sat there waiting for me and the rest of the boys "hey" they both looked up at me and smiled "who invited you?" I asked the blonde girl "dylan" must have been the boy I gave the note to i say down next to her and picked up a menu. "Whats your name?" I asked she looked up "who me?" "Yea" She smiled "oh I'm florence and that's my sister raffie" Raffie..what a strange name for a girl "I'm armani." "Emerson"  she opened her mouth to speak but closed it again when the rest of the boys burst through the door laughing "hey bro" just came and sat next to me. and the rest of the boys came and huddled around raffie. didnt want to bring it up just incase it would cause commotion and embarrass her but she looked really uncomfortable. so while florence was talking i grazed her leg with my foot and signalled for her to come sit inbetween me and her sister. she carefully got up and manouvered around an already tipsy dylan. i was starting to feel like i didnt want to be here because everyone around me was either talking or smoking pot out of a stupid bong dylan made in a pottery course. i thought i could talk to raffie mabye and gain her trust. her sister florence was rather beautiful and mabye we could be friends. "hey." i turned and asked "hi?" i got back "so how old are you" i thought mabye 10? "12 and a half" "im 25" "im in your sisters college class. buisness" "yeah i know" i didnt know what to do now. "uh drinks" "im 12. 1-2 " " i didnt mean alcoholic drinks im not a fan of those. mabye lemonade or?" she cut me off there. "sure" she just looked at me and it took me a few minutes to realise i was the one who had to move first becuase i was on the end of the row. "oh shit sory" i turned around in embarrasment and got up "its fine i know what it feels like to be nervous your good." im glad she understood me "thanks" without anyone noticing we made our way over to the nearest bar stools. "hi" i said as the bar tender walked over "2 lemonades with ice please" i looked back and she just nodded "thanks thats all". i payed 10 pounds and we got our lemonades. we sat in silence for a while until she asked "got a car." i just nodded as my mouth was full of lemonade. i loved lemonade flavoured things. "yeah." i finally answered. she looked towards the parking lot and asked "which ones yours" i pointed to a matte black suv "that one" she widened her eyes "rich parents" "i actually bought it myself." and looked to the ground when i remembered my parents. she realised and apologized for bringing it up. "nah its fine ive got to get over it one day" "want to go get lemonade icepops?" i asked and with no hesitation she stood up and made her way to my car. " get in and i'll go tell your sister where were going." i threw her the keys and ran inside. i went back to the table to where florence was and reached for her shoulder "hey" she turned around "uhm me and raff are going to the shop" i said, she gave a re- assuring smile and i headed back out. got to to my car to her Taylor swift playing full blast out the sterio "how did you figure that out" i asked quite shocked that shed just made herself at home in MY car. "youve never done that before?" she asked "no i have not" i sat down and took the keys out if her hand. she went back into her won world singing and dancing in her seat when i started that car and all the way there. "were here" i said as i turned off the engine that also turned off the radio "HEY i was listening to that" she said as i opened my door and waited for her to get out "do you want ice pops or not?" i asked and she immidiatley got up and i locked the car. "lets go to the drug store over there" we made our way to the small store and pushed the door. as soon as it opened the bells on the top of the door chimed. we looked around until we found the ice cream section. i pointed to a shelf with ice pops on and grabbed a large box enough to last me a whole week of ice pops. "these?" i showed raff "yeah lets go its dodgy in here" i agreed so we paid and left. "where should we go now?" she just shrugged her shoulders. "lets get in the car and go to the beach" she smiled and walked to the car "cute kid" i muttered to myself. we got in the car and agreed blasting chase atlantic on the way there. by the time we got there we had gotten through all their songs. "the sunsets pretty" she said "yeah. it is" she just looked at me for a second then back at the sunset. we talked about things like dogs and our favourite foods for the next hour or so. "right. we should be heading home now" "can i atleast finish this one first." she asked, i was so tempted to stay a few minutes longer but i know becca would be wondering where i was and florence would probably be wanting raf home now. "no you can finish it on the way back, people are going to think we died." she laughed at my joke "fine" and i set of back to the diner. "i think my new bestfriend is a 12 year old girl." "im almost 13 shut up"
