Wait...did he say that we are going on a date?Oh no!!!and I only have an hour to get ready??. I glance at the clock to see it is 13:08. Oh God this is impossible. We are miles away. How will we go on a date?
I stop thinking and just start getting ready seeing that my time is short and limited.
After I shower I get my favourite and newest dress out, it has the cutest design I have seen with the light pink heart shaped bust and a baby blue fluffy skirt. It has glitter all around it but they are more frequent where the bust is. The dress is reaching just above my knees and it is strapless.
I keep my makeup to minimum, just like how Karl likes it , only eyeliner, mascara and lip balm.(yeah we both have the same disgust for lipstick)
I look at the clock again and realise that I have 10 minutes to spare. Damn I am fast....he better not be late. Oh ,the things I would do to him if he is late after making me get ready in 50 minutes-
Shut up you barbarian freak.
Oh great, even my inner voice is snappy.
The familiar tune of Green Day-When September Ends is heard in my room as my phone rings. Well let me listen some more and then I will answer...
"Hey Karl"
"Hey beautiful"
I let out a stupid giggle and then realise what I did and hit my head.
"Owww" I hiss and groan due to the pain. Oh God I am strong.
"Carla? Are you alright?"
"Yeah, I just...slipped...on a slice of pizza...you have no idea how slippery those things are..." stupid Carla...dumb Carla...you idiot, slipped on a slice of pizza? Really? What else do you do? Step on your brother by mistake?
You don't have a brother
Shut up
"Yup you are right, never in my life have I stepped on a slice of pizza...they seem quite dry though. Are you sure they are slippery?" Karl teases...and I can pretty much sense that he is smirking.
"So where are you and how on Earth are we going to go on a date?" I try to change the subject and am successful.
"On the phone. We are going on a date on the phone." And those two senteces have me crashing.
"THEN WHY IN MY RIGHT MIND DID I GET DRESSED UP IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO SEE ME????!!!!!" I whisper yell- no I quite a lot shout at him over the phone.
"It's all your phone's fault." He says in a defensive tone. My phone? How does my little Nokia link to this? "I thought we could do this with FaceTime but your little sh*t doesn't have it so-"
"Well this little sh*t is older than you so you have to respect it." I say. How dare he talk to my phone like that?
Well he is right.
Well he is rude.
" Should I ask for your phone's permission for taking you on a date also?" He says playfully and then continues without letting me agree though "anyways get out of your house and wait for me to do the same-"
"Wait? What are we doing? I don't get it." But I still do as he says. I wear my cardigan and my silver flats and go out into the street.
"Okay so this is how it works..." he pauses like he is having a hard time explaining it. "Since we can't meet, we will pretend as if we are together. We are going to step the same steps. Okay?" He asks his voice full of hope.
Oh God he is soo sweet. How can I say no to him?
"Okay." I say trusting him on this.
