MY FAKE ROMANCE WITH THE HOTTEST GUY IN SCHOOL

CHAPTER 30: BOWLING DATE

I closed my eyes, and tried to focus, tried to not think about Tom being next to me, being in his arms. But I couldn't.

I said, 'Tommy" 

He said, 'yeah" 

I said, 'Sorry I know you're tired." 

 he said, 'no it's ok."

 I said, 'I was just thinking since Em is really upset, I want to find a way to cheer her up, and I know that we were going to plan on going out with her and Mike. is that something we can still do?" 

 Tom said, 'yes how about Saturday"

 I said, 'That sounds good, I'll check with Emma. She might not be able to leave her mom"

 He said, 'ok just let me know"

About 20 minutes went by.  Tom said, "hey Madison are you awake" 

 I said, 'yes"  

He said, 'hey did you mean what you said"  

I said, 'what did I say, sorry I'm tired" 

 he said, 'I'm sorry, the other day, when we were talking, and you said that you would come watch me bowl, It's ok if you were just saying that"

  I said, 'oh no I meant it. I'd love to watch you bowl" 

Tom said, "for real" 

 i said, 'yes" 

Tom said, 'wow, I mean most girls don't like to watch bowling. So, you are sure you won't be bored."

I laughed.  I mean that is funny. I would watch Tom Hanson do anything. I said, 'Tom no I will not be bored watching you." 

 He said, 'Thanks, that's great, because I bowl every Thursday night on a team, with my dad, so do you think you could come tomorrow night and watch me?"

  I said, 'yes, I'd love to. That is so cool you bowl with your dad Tommy." 

 He said, 'yeah, I love it, we sometimes go on bowling tournaments" 

I said, 'That's cool." 

 he said, "I can't believe you would want to come watch me. Thank you." 

 I said, 'Didn't Tara come watch" 

he laughed.  he said, 'are you kidding and ruin her image being caught in a bowling alley." 

 I said, 'Tommy the way she treated you makes me so mad." 

 He said, 'Did you still want me to teach you to bowl?"

  i said, 'yeah that would be great, I'd like to learn, but there is a problem"

 he said, 'What's that?"

  i said, 'Tom I don't want people watching me. I will get a gutter ball, everyone will see, and laugh at me, and I try and avoid people" 

Tom said, 'how about we go on a Sunday morning, there are hardly any people there early

" I said, "Sounds good. Thank you"

 He said, 'Although you know Madison, you're going to have to get over that"

I said, 'over what" 

He said, 'not wanting people to stare at you"

 I said, 'right because we are fake dating" 

He smiled. He said, "Well that too, but you do realize you are going to have a huge crowd watching you when you are winning that medal in your track races."
