The Challenge

Talk About AWKWARD!

hi guys! This is the new chapter. Sorry if its boring but ehhhhhh. This chapter's dedicated to @MuxiqalGirlfor her amazing book- Falling for Mr Arrogant ( i think) !

(: Enjoy! 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: Please add me as a contact

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

What?

What?

[cue surprised look]

[cue surprised look]

Waaaat?! What was I gonna do though?! Go with both boys? Nope. Decline both people? Or do nothing? Do nothing. Might as well not answer both of them.

I went on the phone to consult Libby anyways, in case I made a terrible decision.

"Yo Libs, Chris and Oliver ask-" I got cut off by Libby. "Who the hell is Oliver?!" Oh great.

"This guy I met at The Sugar Bowl and um...sorta went out with for pizza." Squeals came from the phone. "Wait, so you're turning down Chris!? OMG!"

I rolled my eyes. "I've got a question, you weirdo."

"Ask away, my dear friend."

"Chris asked me to the valentines dance and Oliver asked if I could go to the arcade with him on the same day! What should I do?"

"Well, well," Libby put on a British accent. "Hmm..."

I snorted. "Gimme the advice and quit stalling!"

"I suggest you ignore them and yeah."

"Ok." I hung up on her and plopped on my bed. 2 more days to go...

Friday, after school:

"Sup girl!" I hi-fived Chelsea on the way to my counter. "Hey Mike!" I was in a particularly good mood because the day I longed so much was finally here. I was soooo looking forward to today. There were about five or six customers so we were busy making milkshakes, icing cookies and stuff. Not much time to talk, but plenty to think. I was secretly sneaking a iced cookie into my mouth when the bell rang. It rang whenever a new customer came in. "Hi Ali!" Oliver walked over. "Uh...Hi?" He studied my face closely. "What's wrong?"

"Erm nothing." I stuttered. "Why?" He just shook his head. "I don't know. Weird feeling I guess."

The bell rang again. "Well well, look who's here!" trilled Chelsea. I turned around, and saw Chris. I suspect she had a teeny crush on him. Both boys stiffened. "What?" They said nothing. "Dude guys, why are you even here? I never even said that I would go?!"

Chris stared icily at Oliver, and Oliver returned the chilly glare. "I stepped in the middle of them. "Woah woah! What's going on?"

Chris pouted. "You never said he was going to be here."

Oliver frowned. "Why is he even here?"

I laughed shakily and bit my lip (see gif above^)

"Ehhhrm... Well..."

And they both turned around to leave the shop, colliding into each other. I sniggered. They both scowled at me.

"Wait! Guys!"

"What!" Both boys said in unison. I couldn't hold the laughs in and erupted into giggles. They left the shop, careful not to bump into each other again and left me standing there. Frozen.

And that's how I lost both of my dates. In a minute.

_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-

"Hey hon, why back so early?" Libby handed me a ice tea. I groaned.

"I lost both dates in like, 1 minute!" I took a sip of ice tea.

She rolled her eyes. "How could you! Alice Marie Stephens! You! Of all people!"

She made a dramatic gesture. "Really! And I thought you found your true love!" I sighed.

"Libs!? Really? " I said in a british accent. "You're acting like a GRasshole! Wow!" Then I realized she wasn't even in my room. Great. Just then, Libby appeared from the hallway. "A popsicle for you and a popsicle for me!" She said in a sickly sugary voice. At least we weren't fighting anymore.

My phone rang.

ChrisTheJerk (I changed it)

"Hey Chris." I said.

"We still have the math homework." Aww DAYUM! Me and my fake swear words. Ahh well.

"I'm coming over now."

"Great, see you."

I jumped on my bike and sped over to Chris's house.

Minutes later, I arrived. Chris was sitting on the front porch, waiting for me, stroking his dog.

"Heyo!" I patted the dog.

"Hi. Wanna go get smoothies?" He asked.

"We've gotta do our project dumbo. Okay?" I said.

"Okay."

"Okay."

"Okay."

"This isn't freakin fault in our stars!" He held his hands up, mock-surrendering. "I was just trying to be romantic!" I groaned.

"Whatever. Lets start working." and I headed upstairs. He followed me.

A little girl stood in front of me, on the stairs. "Hello. I'm Christine. I'm Chris' sister! And you're Alice!"

"How do you know me?" I questioned.

"He talks soooooo much about you!" Christine squealed. "He says you're very-" Chris covered her mouth, his face flaming red. "Like you said, lets get to work."

"Can we please get ice cream later Cwissy?" Christine hugged onto Chris's legs and start kissing it.

"Yeah yeah." Chris replied.

"CWISSY? Lets sit over there on the couches."

"No! We're going to my room sweetheart."

"Fine." And I trudged to his room. "Fine."

"Actually, lets go get smoothies Cwissy." I said.

"You're never going to let me go on that right?" Asked Chris.

I nodded.

We were slurping up our smoothies when Catherine tugged on my sleeve. "Why are they eating each other?" I giggled. "They're tounge kissing, silly." She smiled.

"Are you going to kiss Chris like that when you guys are married?" Chris made a barfing sound. "Hell no Christine, that's just sick."

I nodded. "Proabaly the few things I agree with him missy," and I ruffled her hair. Gotta go now, its the end of math project on my schedule. She pouted.

"I like you Ali. I think my brother loooves you!" I just patted her on her head and left. "I like you too. Bye!" She waved at me. I waved back.
