Let's Face It Together

How to say?

**Kevin's POV**

My heart started to take a disastrous turn. It said many lines within: 1. Yay! A night with Lacey 2. Darwin or Kiara not around 3. How will I ask her? 4. Darwin is a perv. 5. What do I do now? and so on...

The first task was to find Lacey which was not so difficult. She was sitting under a tree reading a novel. But the second task was to ask her out. As I reached her I kept on staring at her golden hair for minutes until she noticed a creature standing beside her.

"What do you want?" she said while returning back to her book.

"I was just wondering if you....umm....wish to come to the....uh... I mean...to the party...tonight?" I let it out while I crossed my fingers and standing strong to absorb a 'no' as an answer.

She closed her book and got up to face me. "And why the hell do you think I will say yes? Have you ever seen for yourself in the mirror? Don't you know I have a boyfriend?"

"I know but since he was not here for the party so I came to ask you. It seems you're a bit annoyed so better if I leave." as I turned, my hand was caught by a soft hand.

Wow! This technique works. First ignore and then they themselves are after us!

"Wait! Sorry if that hurt you. I'm in!"

Yes!

"So at what time shall I pick you up?" I asked.

"At seven, but from Jenny's house." she spoke in a discomfort manner.

"Why?"

"Because I will be at her house during the time after school."

"She didn't said anything like that!"

"It is because I made the plan right now."

And she walked passed me leaving me to follow her. She stopped where Jenny and Ben were sitting. She pulled out Jenny from where she was sitting to a place behind a tree.

"Woah man what's all this?" Ben smirked.

"I'm taking Lacey tonight. By the way, all good between you two?"

"We were this near to be in a relationship before your Lacey jumped in." he smiled as he looked at the sky.

Dream boy! Can't help...

"Hey I haven't seen Mike all these days. Where the hell is he?"

"He is on a world tour! Wandering with Cassandra, his girl."

We called Cassandra 'world tour' because 1. She went on travelling in every two months and 2. Pretends that she can speak in every accent.

"That-that's too wierd. I mean I never thought Mike was interested in girls."

"We thought the same for you. But now a days people change with the surroundings they live in."

Before I could reply, the girls arrived.

"Okay so guys the plan is, I and Lacey will go by Kevin's car and Ben will come alone while going back Kevin's gonna drop Lacey and Ben's gonna drop me at my place." Jenny uttered as if addressing the nation.

And soon the bell rang.

"Great then! See you guys at the party." Ben said as he took Jenny's hand and walked away.

I and Lacey too walked to the class side by side. When we reached we learned that Darwin already left for home. It didn't matter to me so I walked towards my last bench!

When the next teacher entered I started making notes for the respective subject when suddenly I noticed a chit on my table. It said

You coming in front?

It was from Lacey. She invited me to sit with her. So I wrote

Not at all! I love my seat more than your company...

And passed it. It returned after a moment with

So can I come beside you? It's too boring to resist the upcoming lecture.

And I nodded as she turned back for a reply.

After the bell rang she took her bag and sat beside me.

"Hi!" she was overexcieted.

I rolled my eyes but she cupped my face pulling back to face her.

"What?" I grinned pulling my face back into its position.

"Why do you ignore me?" she said and soon the next teacher entered the class.

We greeted her and she began her speech on Shakespere.

"I hate Julius Caesar!" she exclaimed.

"I love it! Its a thriller action in reading it."

"You're too wierd! Anyways what should I wear today?"

What kind of question is that? Are girls like this? No! Jenny wasn't like that!

"Clothes! Why? Were you planning to put leaves on?" and I laughed to the thought.

"I mean to say that is there a theme?" she spoke softly.

"No! Just dress the way you like. You'll look fabulous in whichever dress yout wear and..." and I snapped my hand on my face.

Holy crap! I let it out.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to..." and she cut me by putting a finger on my lips.

"Shh! No need to apologise."

"For a second I forgot that you had a boyfriend. Sorry!"

"Its okay! By the way do you drink?"

Never in a million years!

"No!" I snapped. "Do you?"

"Never!"

"Why?"

"I don't like it. What makes you cross-question this?"

"Since you hook up with a bad boy... I thought your habits may be similar."

"He's a good one. And you know why he actually likes me because he is the....." she kept on spitting nonsense and I rolled my head away form it.

I wish you could see it through my eyes Lacey.

Soon the bell rang and we moved towards our busses which clearly shot a scenario for the beginning of the weekends.
