******************************************************************************************************************************

We were let out of class early today, but I don't think Ms. Smiths noticed. D: It was Friday, so many people had plans. Staying in for a movie, partying, going on dates, or just chilling at home. I still had my shift at The Sugar Bowl, so I might as well watch a movie with Libby at home afterwards.

It was really hot so I stopped by the local ice cream shop and bought a double scoop of cookies n' cream. Oliver was there too. I was like, totally freaking out inside myself, and managed to squeak hi when he noticed me. Wow Ali, very smooth huh...

So I composed myself and tried again. "Hey Oliver! Whatcha up to?" Ok, that sounded like you want to stalk him!

[cue the heart melting smirk]

"About to ask you if you wanted to join me for pizza?" Woah...Hot boy say whaaat? "Er, sure." I made a mental note to tell Libby how sorry I was to cancel our movie night.

He beamed at me. "Okay, see you at 5:00, your shift's end's at 5:00 right? I'll pick you up there." I blushed. "Sounds good. See ya!" Smooth Ali, smooth...

******************

4:40

A faint beeping sound came from my phone. A text from Chris.

#ChrisMySexyMan : hey babe, I bought tickets for both of us to a movie. See you at 5:00

Wait what?

Ali: Uh no I'm on a date

#ChrisMySexyMan : aww ok well you can always cancel it, he's probably not even worth it.

I scowled

#ChrisMySexyMan: You guys aren't meant to last

Ali: Well too bad cuz im not canceling it and we are gonna last you jerk

I really had to change that name sometime. Chris must've hacked into my phone when I wasn't looking. And my password too.

#ChrisMySexyMan: Fine.

Ali: Jealous much?

I laughed, and turned my phone off. "Hey babe!" Oliver waved from his car. I waved back, and stepped in. "So, where are we going?" He put his arm around me. "It's a surprise," he leaned over and whispered somewhat huskily, I could feel his breath on me. I giggled.

"Did you eat a Mc Muffin?"

He rolled his eyes, and smiled. "Yeah, good observation." Phew. Didn't act too weird.

"Did you eat something with chocolate today?"

I gulped, "Erm, yeah, why?" He brushed his finger on the side of my lip and I felt tingles, it was really weird. And he sorta scraped it and took his hand off. Aww... no more tingly feeling.

I saw a smear of chocolate on the tip of his fingers and blushed. "Oh...oh...um..." Way to impress a guy Ali... Wait, it's not like you can (: Curse you you dayum voice in my head!

Oliver's voice woke me from my conversation with my mind. I swear, he turns me on and gets me into that great mood 80% of the time. The other 20%? It's because he makes me so embarassed when I act like a fool in front of him. Not his fault, but-

"We're there." I watched him get out of the car and stick his hand out to me. I grabbed it and got out of the car.

************************************************************

The restaurant was a small cozy cottage like place. It was decorated with colorful drapes and about 90% of it was lit with different interesting looking candles. Small wooden tables were covered in a handmade tablecloth and a jar of flowers was in the middle of it. The floor was covered in animal skins and old fashioned rugs, matching the fireplace, the mantel, and the dusty books placed on it.

It was surprising that they made pizza here. It could've been a country hotel of some sort. Sensing my thoughts, Oliver said: "Their best dessert here is apple pie and pumpkin pie. We should order some." I just nodded, still observing my surroundings. The waitress led us to a table. She smiled at Oliver, "Hey Ollie!" -planting a friendly [thank god] kiss on his cheek. He kissed here too, and it was so awkward. The few other people in the room was looking at us.

"Lemonade for us, a pepperoni pizza, and a pumpkin pie please!" Oliver finally broke the silence. "Thanks Emmy." "The food was served like, 5 minutes later and we both dug in. The food was just so scrumptious! God Ali, you sound so effing British! Ahh well.

****************************************************************************************************

"Theesheeshsoooohhgood!" I mumbled with the pie still in my mouth. "Yeesh I know ryeeet!" Oliver was stuffing himself full of that pie too. We ended up taking h-u-g-e doggy bags home because it was too good to waste. We got in the car, and started chatting randomly. We got onto the topic of Chris, and Oliver said that he didn't like Chris too, and that Chris got him expelled for no reason as his family had been in our school (Yeah, it was that old) for 20 years, and Chris' father had many connections.

The ride was about 20 minutes, so it wasn't long before we arrived at The Sugar Bowl, as I would walk home by myself from there. "Thanks Oliver, it was awesome." He smiled, and gave me a brief hug before driving away. He also slipped me a piece of paper that I had to open at home.

I stared at the back of the car for a while before heading home. I had such a major crush on that guy. It would be a miracle if Chris could win me over. But miracles could still happen don't they. I just had to steer clear of them this time.

--

I finally got ready for bed when my phone beeped. Notifications from Skype. One message from Chris, a contact request from Oliver, and a message from here too.

Chris: Come 2 the dance with me? Feb 20

Oliver: Wanna go to the arcade with me on friday? Feb 20
