The Friendship

Chapter 2: Then and Now

So it's been about 3 months since I said no to Taylor when he asked me out. I haven't stopped thinking about it ever since. It's just so confusing, I never thought that I would date him...but the more I think about it the more I'm starting to like the idea of it.
      "May?" My teacher yelled. I dropped my pencil and jumped a million miles and everyone was staring at me.
"Um what?" I mumbled.
   "The answer?" She said annoyed.
I wasn't paying attention at all.
"I didn't hear the question." I said stubbornly
"This isn't daydream time people!" She screamed. Finally the last bell of the day rang. I was walking out of school to go home. I saw Taylor walking toward me with his black hair and blue eyes, just looking perfect.
"Hey May!" He yelled.
"Yeah?" I said confused.
"Nothing," He laughed, "I just wanted you to wait." This was it. I have to tell him how I feel. This may be the most awkward moment of my life.
"Um so ya know how you asked me out like 3 months ago?" I asked nervously.
"How could I forget, you're the only girl who has ever turned me down." He said with a smirk. Like I said before, big ego.
"Well I was thinking, and if you asked me again, I might just say yes." I said a little too excited.
"Oh will you now?" He asked with a smile.
"I might!" I said
"Well, May Livster, will you go out with me?" He asked nervously. Well, this was it. My life could be changing forever. My heart felt like it was beating out of my chest.
"I would love to." I said with a smile. Ha. Nailed it!
"Great! What would you say to dinner tomorrow?" He asked.
"I say that sounds great!" I said excitedly.
"So um I'll pick you up at 7:30?" He asked awkwardly. I laughed.
"What?" He said annoyed.
"You're just cute when you're nervous." I chuckled. He stood up tall and blushed.
"I'm captain of the football team, I don't get nervous." He said sternly.
"Oh whatever macho man." I smirked. We were at the place where we had to part ways. "Catch ya later." I said. I started walking away with my back to him.
He yelled, "you can tell your ballerina fiends this time!"
I smiled and yelled, "I do what I want." And with that, that was the end of our conversation. I walked through the door, and yelled,
"I'm home, mom!" I walked into the kitchen, where my mom was reading a magazine.
"Hey honey! How was your day?" She asked eagerly.
"Pretty interesting, actually." I said.
"Oh! Did anything special happen?" She questioned.
"Um I'm going out with Taylor tomorrow night." I said casually.
"Oh my gosh!" She said excitedly, "I always knew you guys would end up dating!"
I already regretted telling her.
"Yeah yeah, it's not that big of a deal." I mumbled.
"Baby, it's your first boyfriend! Of course it's a big deal!" She shouted with glee.
"Mom, seriously," I said, "let it go."
"Alright, ok." She said glumly. She can be so annoying sometimes, but I guess I love her.
"I'm going in my room to do um homework and stuff." I said.
"Ok sweetie love you!" She said. She should know better, I don't do homework! I really just wanted to get out of the conversation. I guess I better pick out a decent outfit for tomorrow night. I was going through my closet and I realized I didn't have any girly shirts. Then I went through my drawers and I don't have jeans or shorts that don't have holes in them. Sometimes I wish I had more girl friends rather than guy friends. It's just girls are so over dramatic, and moody. Guys just go with the flow and that's pretty much what I do, go with the flow. It's only 3:00 I have dance in 1 hour and it's 15 minutes away. I guess I'll just get ready now, since I'm bored. For dance class I usually just wear nike pros and a tank. Dance doesn't seem like it's a lot of work, but trust me it is. I go to dance from 4-9 every night. Well, except for Sunday's. I'm planning on just skipping dance tomorrow so I can go on my date thing with Taylor. Well, I have my clothes on, now I just gotta throw my hair into a messy bun and get in the car. It's only 3:15, but I'll get there at 3:30 so I'll just stretch early.
    "Bye Mom, I'm going to dance." I said.
"Oh it's pretty early ya know." She said confused.
"Yeah, I figured I'll just get a head start. Love you." I said as I was rushing out the door.
"Ok love you may!" She shouted. I got into my car, well my moms old car. I pulled out of the garage. I suddenly slammed on the breaks.
    "God damn it Taylor, what do you want?" I snapped.
"Well hello to you too!" He said sarcastically.
"Well I'm sorry, I'm backing out and then I see you standing right behind my car!" I yelled.
"Yeah sorry, I just came to ask where you wanna go tomorrow night." He mumbled.
"Um I don't really care, you can choose, I gotta go to dance, bye!" I said trying to get him to leave.
"Ok, bye I guess." He said laughing.
"Seriously move, or I will hit you with my car." I growled.
"Ok geez." He said. Then I accidentally hit the gas pedal and the car was going backwards.
Next thing I know I heard Taylor yell, "Ow!"
"Oh My gosh! I'm so sorry!" I yelled. I got out of the car and ran to Taylor.
"What the hell May?" He said angrily.
"I didn't mean to I swear!" I said reassuringly.
"I think you broke my god damn foot!" He shouted.
"Here get in the car," I said, " I'll drive you to the hospital."
"Don't you have dance?" He asked.
"Well yeah, but I'll just get yelled at by my dance teacher, it doesn't matter!" I said.
"Fine." He said. He got in and I stepped on the gas and zoomed out of the subdivision.
I started laughing.
"Why the hell are you laughing?" He asked mad.
"Well, think about it, when we are like talking to our friends, you can say that your girlfriend broke your foot." I said laughing.
"That sounds like you abused me." He said finally laughing.
"Well, I could totally beat you up." I said with a smirk.
"You seriously think that you can beat up the captain of the football team?" He questioned. Like I said before, his ego is sky high.
"Well I mean you probably have a broken foot." I said laughing.
"You're lucky it's off season right now, or else I would literally be murdering you right now." He said a little to seriously.
"Haha!" I said. Then, after a long time of being quiet, we finally pulled into the emergency room parking lot. We went into the lobby, me walking, Taylor hopping on one foot. We went to the front desk.
The lady at the desk greeted us in a monotone, saying,
      "Hello, my name is Margret, what's the problem?"
Taylor laughed and said, "I think I have a broken foot."
    "What happened to make you think that?" She asked.
I jumped in and said, "I ran over his foot with my car."
"That's nice. Can I have a name?" Asked the lady.
Taylor said, "Taylor Benson"
"Age?" The lady asked.
"17" he stated.
"Alright," she said, "it will be about a 20 minute wait." We thanked her and went and sat down on the bench. This is kind of like a date, because I mean we're alone with each other and together and stuff.
"So, whacha wanna talk about?" He asked. I literally just realized that I was in butt tight shorts and a skin tight tank top.
"Oh my gosh, I'm out in public wearing my dance stuff. I look rediculous." I muttered.
He smirked and looked me up and down.
"Well, I mean, I like it." He said smiling. I guess this is better than what I wore at school today.
"Stop staring at my ass, you pervert." I said with a smirk.
"Hey," he said, "can't I stare at my girlfriends butt?"  My heart stopped. Am I actually Taylor Benson's girlfriend?
"I-I'm your gir- girlfriend?" I stuttered.
"Well I mean if we're going out in public showing affection, that's what I'd call it!" He smirked.
"We're not showing affection, though." I said. Right then and there, he stared into my eyes and leaned in towards me and started kissing me.
He smiled and said, "Now we are." I just looked at him forgetting how to talk, I just had my first kiss. Oh my gosh.
"Speechless?" He said smirking.
"I- um-" I started to say.
"It's ok, that happens to all the girls when they kiss the Taylornator."
I smiled and said, "really? The Taylornator?" I was laughing.
"That's what they call me." He said smirking.
The door opened and a lady came out and said,
"Taylor Benson?" I started to get up with him.
"I should probably go alone.." He said awkwardly.
"Oh yeah, right!" I said embarrassed.
"You can go now, if you want. I'll call one of my friends to come pick me up." He said.
I didn't want them to, though.
I said, "it's okay, I'll just wait!"
He smiled and said, "ok see you in about an hour." He turned around and went back into the other room.
