Chapter 10: The Date

The Date. (Annie's POV)

After spending three hours getting ready, I was finally happy with my appearance.

I had chosen on a yellow maxi dress and a pair of black, platformed sandals. I had also taken the time to curl my hair and apply a light coat of red lipstick, plus the basic makeup.

Earlier during the day, Micah texted me asking for me to meet him at the beach at sunset. Riley was still hesitant about the idea of me going on a date with his best friend, but I had asked/forced him to get over it.

I rushed down the stairs, as I heard a loud knock on the door. I opened it, to be greeted by an unfamiliar face.

"Hello? Can I help you?"

"Yes, I am here to pick up Miss Annaliese."

"Ohh, that's me."

"Please follow me."

The man escorted me to a white carriage, pulled by horses. Once I had sat down, the man hopped on the horses, as they started to trot off.

Half-an-hour later, we arrived at the beach. I hopped out quickly, busting to see what Micah had in store.

I looked over onto the beach, pricing a silhouette of a young man. Assuming it was Micah, I started to walk towards him.

As I got closer, he noticed me. It was Micah, thankfully. He started to walk towards me.

I rushed over and embraced him, pulling away as my cheeks turned crimson.

"Umm, Hi Micah." I nervously said.

"Hey Annie, you look gorgeous."

"Uh, thank you." I mumble.

"So, I bought you down here, because I wanted to talk to you."

"About what?"

"Well, you know the saying 'love at first sight'? Well I always thought this was rubbish, until I met you. Although I haven't known you for long, I am falling for you Annie. I have never had feelings this strong for anyone."

I looked up at him, staring into his eyes.

"Micah, I wish I could return the feelings, but I just can't." I said, sadly.

Micah looked down at me before he turned around and left.

I crumbled on the sand, as tears feel down my face.

Had I just ruined a friendship?

What have I done?

I have to talk to him tomorrow...at school... On my first day.

Shit! I completely forgot school started tomorrow. Poop.

I walked over the the street and hailed a taxi.

I arrived at home and rushed inside, but as I opened the door Micah was standing there, his lip bleeding and face bruised.

"Crap Micah, what happened? Come with me." I dragged him toward my room.

He sat down on the bed as I rushed into the bathroom, grabbing the first aid kit.

"Tell me what happened." I said, calmly.

"Well, Riley got mad because of what happened on the beach." He said, looking down.

"Riley got mad? That bastard." I yelled.

It was silent as I cleaned up his lip and iced his forhead.

"Do you need a lift?" I asked.

"Nah, I should be fine. See you tomorrow." Micah said, as he left my room.

I placed my head on the pillow, taking in today's events, before deciding that I should go to sleep, since school was tomorrow.
