And Then There Were Two

Chapter Eight - My Name Is 'Blurry Face'

I've always wondered how it feels to be in love with someone. Is it the same with me being in love with McDonald's fries? Or is it different?

I was secretly in love with the idea of being in love. I always pictured myself with a guy who treats me like a princess and I treat him like a prince. I had a fairy tale love story pictured in my mind, although I know the love story I'm imagining doesn't exist.

There are arguments and fights but nothing is better than getting through them, and rewarding yourself with some hot makeup sex.

I swear, although I was a virgin, I had a very perverted.

Yes, I said virgin.

I'm forgetting that night ever happened and moving on with my life. It makes me feel better.

"Hey! " A female voice called. I was walking out of Donut Ace to Jake's car. It was a few minutes passed three, and William was picking me up at four thirty.. "Are you Skai?"

"Yeah?" I answered. I didn't know who this girl was but she was really pretty.

"You dropped this." It was a twenty dollar bill. I felt my pocket and the money I had gotten from Kenneth wasn't there. I took the money from her.

"Thanks."

"I'm Gemma by the way," she introduced herself. "Carter's sister."

I looked at her confused. "Who's Carter?"

"The guy that you're going on a date with." She said slowly.

" William?" I asked.

"He let's you call him William?" She asked. "Hmm. You must be special then."

"What do you mean?" I asked. "If you start singing the song I will punch you in the throat."

She started laughing. "I wasn't going to." I raised my eyebrow at her. "Okay maybe I was." I laughed.

I liked the song, but when I'm being serious, it's not the time. I know no one can say hello, what do you mean and sorry without singing the song.

"I'll let him tell you." She smiled.

"Okay." I said slowly.

An hour later I was standing in front of the mirror my room. Skylar came over to help do my make up and dress me.

Of course I didn't call her, but I'm sure Will already told her what time he'd be picking me up do she made sure she was at my house to 'help' me get ready.

I was dressed in a pair of ripped, bleached skinny jeans, a navy blue long sleeved blouse and a pair of white converse.

Skylar wanted me to wear a more dressy top but I told her no. She begged me and even told me I looked horrible but I didn't care. I liked what I was wearing and her opinion wouldn't make me hate it.

A horn blew and I looked out the window and there was a car parked outside. It was kind of funny. Will lived next door so he didn't have to pick me up, but I'm guessing he reversed to the front of my house.

I looked at Skylar and smiled.

"Wish me luck." I said as I walked through the door.

"Skai!" She called.

I turned back and looked at her.

"You look really good." She smiled.

"Thanks sis." I said returning the smile. I climbed up the stairs and headed to the living to tell Kenneth I was leaving. Veronica was still at work.
