When Friday finally came along, I was freaking out. I was so nervous for tomorrow night. What am I going to wear? What is appropriate? Maybe I should ask him! I turned around and ran into Carter's homeroom class. Mr.Barkley gave me the evil eye but said nothing. Shrugging, I started looking for Carter. Only to jump when I saw him right behind me. "Ms.Vernon, I think I would of realized if this was your homeroom." He said, while eyeing me up and down. I glanced down at my appearance, ripped light wash skinny's, a Beatles T-shirt, and red vans. Blushing, I looked up and said "I was actually looking for you because I needed to know what to wear for our, uhm, date.." He smiled, pulled me close by the waist and said "Wear something nice, a dress maybe. But wear your bathing suit under it." "Uh, o-okay." I said breathlessly by our closeness. He kissed my cheek and said "See you tomorrow, love" Leaving me staring after him as he walked back to his friends. Smiling, I turned around, and walked to my own homeroom.
Walking into the cafeteria with Nicole by my side, I did not fail to notice Carter. But this time I was not happy to see him. Why, you may ask? Because, he had Austin pinned to the ground and was beating the living shit out of him. I sprinted over and screamed at him to stop. Okay, so you maybe be saying why the hell would I want him to stop!? Well, if you were in my position, seeing what I was seeing, you would understand. Austin's body was limp, he wasn't even responding. A couple of Carter's buddies yanked him off of Austin. Breathing a sigh of relief, I marched over to him and said "Why the hell would you do that? I know he's an asshole, and deserved some of it. But Carter, he was't even fighting back!" "I'm sorry Leigh, but he said some disgusting words about you that I rather you not know. And he had it coming. You're right, I should of stopped sooner, but I couldn't help it. I'm sorry." He said, looking like a kicked puppy. I just wrapped my arms around his neck and whispered a quick thank you into his ear while he kissed my temple.
Walking out of school and jumping into Charlie, I was very, very thankful for the no Field Hockey practice on Friday's rule.The main reason being, I needed to go to the mall to get a dress and bikini for the date. Pulling into the closest parking space I could find, I casually walked into the mall. Speed walking into Zumiez, I bought a cute Glmr Klls bikini and a pair of purple Toms. Deciding that since both items had purple, it was going to be a theme. I walked into American Eagle and BAM! I saw the dress. It was a halter lace dress that was purple. But only from the breast area up, the rest was a creamy white.
Arriving home, I helped my Mom cook dinner. Which was Chicken Parmesan, and a Ceasar salad. While eating, I told my family about my plans for tomorrow night. My dad had that look on his face that every dad gets when his daughter goes out for the first time, or any time for that matter. My mom and sister however, were through the roof that I was finally going out. They even made me show them his Instagram page, while giggling like a bunch of school girls. Shaking my head, I cleaned my plate and glass. After getting ready for bed, having 'The Talk' with my father, watching the Phillie's game, and writing in my journal. I passed out, sleep finally taking over me.
