Best Friends

Roseanne

"Crap! It's him! So what do you think? Should I go?" I asked Jennie quickly, looking at my flashing phone in my hand.

She looked at me like I was stupid, "Why the hell are you asking me? It GD for God sake! Of course you should go." She said rolling her eyes at me. I sighed, I just didn't know what to do, GD had text me early this morning asking if I would go out tonight at 7, my phone was currently ringing in my hand and I was just staring at it undecided.

I took a big breath and answered the phone. "Um Hey." I said quietly.

"Hey Jailbait, you ok? You took so long to answer." He said sounding nervous.

"Uh yeah I was just um.. talking to my friend and I didn't feel the phone go off that's all." I lied grimacing at Jennie who was staring at my phone like a lovesick puppy.

"So did you get my message this morning?" he asked,

"Mmm hmm.." I mumbled looking pleadingly at Jennie for something to say, she was frantically nodding her head with wide eyes mouthing 'say yes' over and over.

"Ok well do you want to go?" he asked after a few seconds of silence.

I looked at Jennie one last time "Say yes!" she whisper yelled at me.

"Yes." I said quietly. I heard a muffled 'Yessssssssss!' from the phone that I assume I wasn't meant to hear, "Kinda excited there are you?" I joked smiling in spite of myself.

"Uh yeah sorry, you weren't meant to hear that," he said a bit sheepishly, "So where do you live?" he asked I could hear him rustling paper around in the background.

"I live on Cotton Road, near the pond, number 17, you know where that is?" I asked I hoped he did I was useless with directions.

"You live on Cotton Road? No wonder your so close to Lisa, that's where she lives right?" he asked sounding a little surprised.

"Yeah she lives next door actually." I answered.

"Ok well I know where it is, I've been to Lisa's before, so I'll pick you up at 7 then." he said sounding really excited.

"Ok see you then." I said snapping the phone shut and breathing out a sigh of relief that it was over. Not that talking to him was hard it was actually quite easy but the whole decision thing was a pain in the ass.

"Great that's done, so next question, do you tell Lisa?" Jennie said with a smile. I groaned, I couldn't lie to my best friend but at the same time I didn't really want to have to tell Lisa either, she would be seriously pissed about it. "I have a solution, how about we just avoid her altogether, that way you don't have to lie to her or tell the truth, there's only one period left and you don't have it with her, so just text her and tell her that I'm taking you home tonight so you don't need a lift and that you'll see her tomorrow" Jennie said. Ok that's not actually a bad idea, that way if the date is a disaster she doesn't have to know and if it's not then I can tell her I went tomorrow!

"Ok good plan, we'll make an evil mastermind out of you yet." I said hugging her tight.

Oh God I was so nervous, I had never been nervous about a date before ever. I left my hair down and added some soft curls and a tiny bit of makeup, I never wore a lot so I didn't want to go too overboard. Jennie had come in after she dropped me home and had helped me pick out an outfit. I was now in a black skinny jeans and a tight red v neck top that showed a little cleavage but wasn't too slutty, I'd opted for red open toed high heels that would probably kill me if I have to walk or dance in them, but he said dinner and a movie in the text so they should be ok.
