Our Secret

Chapter 23: Date pt2

Adrianna POV

"Hey sis" Shawn says as I walk over to the lunch table

"Hey" I say back and sit down next to him

I can't believe she agreed to the date... well I mean I can believe it because I didn't really give her a choice but I want to make it a night she won't forget

"Do you think mom and dad would let me use the rooftop private restaurant?" I ask Shawn

He nods while stuffing his face with the nasty school lunch

We pay for lunch everyday, they could at least cook something edible looking but Shawn and Ronan eat it up every single day

"Ronan how's your dad?" I ask him and he just shrugs

"My dads fine. He didn't get shot or anything at the ball but he finally might be able to get his back brace off" Ronan says

"That's good" I say

Ronan's dad is kind of a mess, me and Shawn only know them because after Ronan's mother was killed his father was a literal mess but that's expected when your wife is killed in front of you... but he couldn't raise Ronan by himself so he would bring him to our house almost every day, but then again that was kinda expected.

I look over at the cafeteria doors and Marco walks in then he walks back over to our table

"Hey Marco you okay?" I ask him once he sits back down next to Ronan

He quickly nods then pulls out his phone

"Are you staying with us tonight Ronan?" Shawn then asks after he finished stuffing his face

"Yeah because my dad wants to visit my moms grave today and when he does that he tends to get drunk and mean" He says and Marco visibly tense but I just ignore him

He's around Artemis everyday so I can only assume that he picked up some of her habits or something.

Maybe he can help me with the perfect date. He can tell me what flowers she likes and what her favorite candy is.

The bell rings and we all sigh before grabbing our bags and phones off the table

"See y'all later" I say getting up from the table and walking out the cafeteria before anyone else

Walking over to my locker to put my bag inside and grab my art stuff

"Hey" I quickly close my locker and look at the girl standing in front of me while staring at me creepily

"Hi?" I say

"Your about to go on a date with my best friend. Don't ask how I know, I just do. First, she loves red roses and white wine, her favorite candy are skittles because they are bright and sweet. She's not the best at wearing a dress so if she does give her endless compliments, don't ask her about her childhood nor about work. Just ask simple questions that shows you are just interested in her and not her life. Second she will be silent at first but just do the talking and she'll just naturally hop in. She's has to really like you for her to actually go on a date with you, don't fuck it up, she's fragile but won't show it. Good luck" The girl says all in one breath then pats my arm and walks away

Her advice sounds good, I think I will take it.

I open back up my locker and grab my bag then put my art stuff inside.

"Shawn" I yell once seeing him walking over to his locker

"Yeah?" He ask turning around and looking at me
