I got to my house as fast as i could. I should have brought the car, it would have been faster. I cant believe they did this to me. Am i just some prize to be won? Thats how i feel. They didnt actually want me. They wanted to make it a contest to get me. Thats all. They wanted to make each other feel mad and jealous by getting me.
There was a small tap on the door. I opened it since i was right by the door. I was surprised to see Soda standing there. I tried to shut the door, but Soda stopped it with his foot. "Belle, let me explain...", he said. "There is nothing to explain Soda. You used me for a bet. We werent actually friends to begin with. I understand. You dont have to make me feel worse", i cried out. Soda was way stronger than me, so i gave up on shutting the door on him and went to sit on the couch. He followed slowly, sitting on the couch across from me.
"You have to let me explain", he practically begged. "Go ahead. I cant get you out and i have no where else to go", i almost whispered. He looked a little hurt by my words but i felt like i was dying on the inside. I didnt even meet his lingering gaze. "The day i met you, i thought i had love at first sight when i saw you. Even whe you left, i was staring at where you were. It was too bad Steve felt the same way. Steve was complaining saying i should let him get the girl this time, but thats not what i wanted. So i suggested the bet. Then the others boys started to like you after you came over to my house. They joined the bet. Im real sorry Belle. I never meant for this to happen. Im sorry...", he trailed off searching my eyes for anything.
Alls i heard was, "Love at first sight when i saw you". "You love me?", i asked. He laughed a little bit. "Thats all you got from that? Yeah, i like ya alot ", he smiled. My insides fluttered. He actually does like me. I have a chance. "Will you be mine?", he asked, fidgeting on the couch. "Yeah of course", i said. "Good", Soda said standing up. "Where are you going?", i asked, a little nervous. Soda would be the first boyfriend i have ever had.
"Im going to make sure Dally knows that date is off", he said. I giggled a little. Before he left, he poked his head back in the door. "Belle?", he asked. "Yeah Soda?". "Ill be taking you out tomorrow. Be ready by five". With that, he left. I smiled to myself. I better go get started for my first date tomorrow.
