As I was fixing up my hair a bit i heard a honk in my driveway. Phillips is barely a year older then me so that means he can drive, while i'll still have my permit for a few more months.
I skipped down my hallway, saying bye to molly, then walked out of the big red front door, and slammed it shut.
"hey roxanne" phillips says with his arm slinged over the car door while he is sitting inside the driver seat.
"hi jordan" i say sitting in the passenger seat.
i fastened my seat belt excitedly "so, where are we headed?"
"i was thinking the diner, a few friends will be there so like a double date i guess" he says trying to be cool
"ok sounds great!"
the whole car ride was awkward because we didn't say a single word to eachother, i didn't know what to say? i've only been on dates in movies? what if i say the wrong thing?
after a torturous 6 minutes car ride we finally pulled into the diner. it was cute it was called 'cool cat diner'
we walked inside and phillip's kept his hand on my lower back guiding me into the booth at the diner.
there was two people already sitting there. one was a blonde haired girl with big styled up hair and extravagant eye makeup and a very bright yellow dress. and the other was a boy who had slick backed black hair and a yellow and black tuxedo. they are the opposite of me and jordan. they are obviously a couple who likes to keep up with the 1960s fashion.
but what i was surprised the most about was there thick country accents "hi i'm maybell!" the girl said with a big smile and her hand sticking out for me to shake. I shook her hand as i slowly sat down across from them and phillip's sat next to me.
maybell nudged the boy next to her on the shoulder. "introduce yourself"
the boy quickly put on a smile "i'm james" he says shaking my hand.
"i'm roxanne" i smile at both of them
"oh we know.. we have just been dying to meet you since you moved to california. i've seen read all the newspapers about you!" maybell says excitedly.
"that's nice" im a little scared by how much enthusiasm she has.
"so, where you guys from?"
"texas" "texas" they both say at the same time with unsettling smiles on there faces.
"i've been to texas before.. for a a movie, 'arrowhead' you've probably seen it"
maybell looks around thinking "yes i actually have!" the boys start having there own conversation as we have ours
"i saw it in the theaters with my meemaw! you had to be 9 or 10?"
"i was 8! barely remember filming anything from the movie"
"wow that's crazy!.. so how'd you meet jordan?"
"it's funny story, we bumped into eachother at a drugstore" maybell laughs
"so how'd you meet james?"
"for 7 years. we started dating when we were just 6 years old" they then started awkwardly rubbing there noses together
"haha.." the waitress came around and me and maybell ordered a milkshake with a side of fries, and then james and phillips ordered burgers
i turn to phillips "so jordan, how'd you become friends with maybell and james?"
"james is my cousin and i've known maybell basically my whole life"
"that's really nice!" as i was eating a fry i saw a flash from outside the window next to me. i turn over and see paparazzi capturing photos of my table, the diner must've called local magazines and told them about me here.
i slouched a bit in my chair "oh great.. im sorry guys this is so embarrassing"
"your fine! atleast they have my good side" maybell joked.
"haha" i faked laugh
"so roxanne, how would you like for you and jordan to come to me and james' party next weekend?"
i look at phillips and he gives a nod of approval then i turn back to maybell
"sure that sounds like a lotta fun!"
"yay!" she claps her hands together
"jordan always gets so mad whenever i have party's because i invite his supposed 'rival baseball team' there, they are cool people!"
"yeah, no there not." he says rolling his eyes
"well who is this rival baseball team anyway?" i ask philips
"they call themselves 'the sandlot' and they play at some old dump that they like to call a baseball field.. the kid i hate the most is benny rodriguez.. god he's so self absorbed and he's terrible at baseball" jordan says leaning back in the booth
my eyes widen and my face drops. i'm on a date with bennys rival? even worse the whole teams rival?
"roxanne? you all right?" maybell asks me with concern on her face
"yeah i'm fine!" what if they read the newspapers and the photo of me and phillips will be on there? god what do i do?
after about another hour of talking with them we said our goodbyes and then went back to the car.
we sat in the car in the diner.
"so.." he said
"so" i followed up with
jordan then turned to me "roxanne.. will you be my girlfriend?"
