IS THAT ALL

CHAPTER FIVE

CHAPTER FIVE CPOV
I went back to hip hop hurray the following day alone this time and not to sit through a shitty date. In as much as I hated the time I had spent third willing Mika and Kendrick,I still loved those candy sprinklers. All I wanted was to have more of them , especially after the reality of what I was going through.
"Can't..at hip hop hurray" I said outloud while texting Mika. She had just sent a message asking me to help her pick out a dress. I loved doing that, note the sarcasm. But all I wanted right now was to get my mind off that stupid dance.
"Here you go sugar" the waitress announced, placing my candy sprinklers on the counter. I rushed over to get it and right when my hand was almost there, someone else's took it. I lifted my head to view the audacity, then stepped back at the sight. It was the guy from yesterday.
"Oh ummm..is , was this yours.." he asked , nervously. He actually kind of cute which raised a lot of questions because he almost looked like Bose.
"Ahh..no , I mean..yes.. but..you can have it" I laughed a little through my stuttering and he flashed me a smile.
"No worries ,we can share" he offered, taking my hand and walking over to the two seater near the window were Bose and I usually sat when hanging out in hip hop hurray alone.
"Thanks.." I said as he gave me way to seat first. I wasn't really equiped with this lady like manners but Mika had given a few ideas yesterday with how she acted towards Kendrick. What was weird was that I actually felt the need to imitate her Infront of this stranger.
"Hey, you're that girl from yesterday" he pointed out , taking a good look at me and I smiled shyly.
"Yeah.. sorry about Gavin..he was an asshole" I apologized.
"Hakuna Matata..thanks for standing up for me , though" the guy phrased. It was funny how he used that the same way Bose did.
"But you didn't have to break up with him and all that .." he shrugged.
"Kk we were never like that..he was just going to be my date to this stupid dance my best friend is so obsessed about " I explained , taking a sprinkler from the bowl in between us.
" It does sound like a pretty big deal for a girl.." he began.
"Shouldn't you be obsessed about it too" he asked and I laughed out loud.
"Yeah,not me big dog..I just wanted to go because that moment meant so much to her ..it still does" I opened up , honestly.
"Well,it sounds like a big deal to you too then" he concluded and I sighed at the end . He was right,in a way.
"It doesn't matter..it's in four days and I am dateless" I relaxed,sadly.
"Umm hey,I'm interning here for a college application but... maybe I could be your date" he suggested.
"I don't know dude...I don't wanna do that to you" I shook my head.
"Weelllll... even though I just met you...I kinda..want you..to do that..kk to me" he slowly streamed through his sentence, trying to not make it sound weird. Which it already did but I got what he was trying to say.
"Are you asking me out to this dance" I asked and he smiled, tweaking his eyebrows. Holly cheese and sprinkles,he was.
"I mean if you'll have me..." He responded as if I even had a choice. I mean, yes he was practically a college student judging from his explanation and yes he wasn't from swellview high or swellview because I had never seen him anywhere before until yesterday. But I was desperate and he was so cute and for one, not an asshole. The dude seemed pretty cool.
"I'm still gonna need that name , though" I said, earning another Colgate white teeth flushy smile.
"Luca..Luca Luhan" he replied and in the process, ceiling the deal.
