The Love Project *k.a*

32- Double Date?

Chapter 32

"Your homework will be to complete the chapter review and there will be a quiz tomorrow so please be prepared," Mrs. Marsh exclaimed. I finished writing down the homework in my notebook right when the bell rang. I packed up my books quickly wanting to get out of there as fast as possible. Cross country was today and I missed running.

"Hey Camila, wait up," yelled a familiar voice as I walked out of the classroom. I turned around and saw Jonah heading towards me. I suck in a breath as he stood in front of me still remembering my conversation with Sky yesterday.

"Hey Jonah, wasspoppin'?" I asked, acting casual. If I slipped, my love life would be in danger. BUCKMOW!

"I wanted to ask you something, are you doing anything on Friday night?" he asked and I raised my eyebrows at him.

"Um I'm flattered and all but you're dating-,"

"No, no, no, sorry I didn't mean it that way," he quickly added and I sighed with relief. I didn't want to get pulled into that.

"Well then, yeah I think I am."

"Okay, so I don't know, but Sky is acting secretive all of a sudden and were supposed to be going out this Friday, but I don't wanna be alone with her yet and j don't want to cancel so I thought maybe it could be a double date with you and Kevin-,"

"I'm not dating him and you don't even like him!" I yelled, shaking my head. I couldn't deny that I was flattered that he thought we were dating. Why would he even think we're dating?

"I know, I know, but you're closest to him and you're the only one who would actually consider going and I know I don't like him but I can tolerate him for one night. Please, Camila, I really like Sky and I wanna figure shit out with her and I can't do it alone," he sounded so desperate and sincere that I just wanted to blurt out that he was being cheated on.

"I'll go, but you have to convince Kevin, he'll say no to me," I said. He probably almost hated me. After kissing him and then telling him that I would never like him and that the kiss meant nothing to me. I know it probably relieved him but I still felt bad for saying it so harshly to him.

"He'll say yes in seconds. You 2 are obviously in love with each other."

My fave flushed and I flicked my eyes to the ground. How did he guess?

"Kevin has made it clear that he would never like me. He even hmu and told me," I protested, shaking my head and he rolled his eyes.

"It's mad easy to lie over text 😂. He didn't say it to your face did he 🤔? And maybe he just doesn't wanna hurt you because he's hurt odee girls and he's afraid he'll hurt you or something. I don't know but that's undeniable love right there Camila."

"So let's say he does like me, why hasn't he said anything? I don't care if he doesn't want to hurt me. He's Kevin Alston, one of the most popular guys in school who can get any girl he wants. I'm pretty sure if he wanted me, he could have me," I yelled, my face turning even paler. He opened his mouth to say something but closed it.

"If you want both of us to come, then you have to convince him,"

I took small sips of water from the fountain and then made my way down to the field to see the others. I felt like I hadn't run in forever even though it's been about week. Running was my distraction, from Kevin, my dad, and my mom.

Speaking of my parents, I hadn't talked to them in while. I should probably call my dad tonight but I couldn't help what Kevin said to me a few days ago.
