She's all that and a bag of chips

Debates

DALTON P.O.V.

"Dude where are you?!! You were supposed to be here hours ago!!"
I scream into my phone.
"IM ROUNDING THE CORNER! CALM YOURSELF DUDE!!"
Knock knock knock knock ring ring ring ring ring ring...
(Door opens, and Angus continuously keeps ring the doorbell)
Ring ring ring
"ANGUS! IM RIGHT HERE! THE DOOR IS OPEN YOU BLOODY IDIOT!!"
"Oh, hey bro wassup?!"
"Where were you dude?!!"
"I was out with Evelina, my girlfriend remember? Maybe you should get one, I think it's about time you go on a date, your very cranky lately"
I then get chucked in the head with a snickers bar
"You're not you when your hungry" he says with a wink and the audacity to say before running like wild fire and hopping onto my couch.
" So, what are we doing today, that's so very important?"
" We're throwing a G.O.P. Debate party."
"that sounds very very boring.....what's that?"
"We're going to watch republican presidential candidates hash it out over policies and stuff, while we eat snacks drink drinks, and listen to music, while you be my wing man"
"1. I thought you liked that hot chick Courtney.2.Who throws Debate parties, to get a girl? And 3. Since when do you go for the type of girl who'd show up to one?"
" That's why I'm throwing it, because she like politics, and seemed pretty excited when I mentioned the debates coming on."
Me and Angus, my best friend, and offensive lineman, set up, and play video games for the next two hours until I hear the doorbell
"That must be the nerds I hired to come!!"
I run as fast as my tall muscular legs will allow me.
"Hey pizzas in the--oh, hey Courtney, and Courtney's friend, I wasn't expecting you guys so early! Well come on in, pizza in the kitchen on the bar! I gotta go do something!" I rush out an a excited and almost nervous manner. I run to the couch. They weren't supposed to be here yet! Who shows up to a party before the 30 to 45 minutes late mark!
"There here on time!! I wasn't expecting them to be here until 5:30!!"
"Alright! Calm down Dalton! The nerds should arrive any minute!! I'm having Evelina come over, she's just next door she'll be here soon!"
"Well I just got a text from the nerds..... Turns out they don't like to be called nerds... AND THEYR'E NOT COMING?! WHAT?!! WE HAD A DEAL!!!"
" Its okay!! Evelina is bringing Joshua with her!"
Josh is Evelina's brother and my good friend and also linebacker.
Just as I'm about to explode and probably hurt my great friendship with Angus, about how nobody throws a party with only 4 people, the doorbell rings that shrill ring for the third time today signifying the presence of Evelina and Josh. I walk-jog to the door.
"Hey Josh, my man!!" I say while doing that weird shake hug bro-hug thing us guys do.
"Thanks Dalton I feel the love!" Evelina says sarcastically referring to my nonexistent greeting I gave her.
"Alright guys, look the nerds I hired didn't come, and neither did a backup plan I was hoping for, so you guys are plan c! Please,oh please, seem interested in the political crap going on the t.v., for my sake! I'l make it up to you!! I'll do whatever it takes!!"
"Thanks dude, but I'm straight..."
Face palm
"No dude, just NO, ew, but seriously I need you guys! Please!!"
I get down on my knees and beg like the dog that I am. Shockingly they follow me into the living room and Josh starts talking about the political event going on as if it were engraved on the back of his hand, he knows his politics almost as much as I do. Hes also secretly trying to tell Evelina what's going on during the pre-debate part by whispering (like a beginning ventriloquist, who doesn't know anything about ventriloquism), how everything works. Courtney and her friend that I have yet to learn the name of finally enter the room with two plates full of pizza, and drinks. And I know that Courtney doesn't drink, so I made sure to get soda for the first time at one of my parties.
"Hey Courtney!" I say before pulling her in for one of the best hugs that I have ever had, I sound so cliché, and it was only 3 seconds long, but her smell of cinnamon and vanilla, warmth of her breathe, and amazing "I don't give a rats a** vibe", just made for an amazing experience to be close to. And it's weird that I enjoyed the hug so much, because she didn't even hug me back, well not the way that you're supposed to hug somebody she just patted my back really hard in an awkward manner, I then release quickly blushing. Ugh I am so whipped it disgusts me.
"And hello friend I have yet to hear the name of!" I say while shaking her hand roughly. I heard somewhere that Courtney hates weak shakes.
"Kelsey, my name is Kelsey."
I decide to explain why I didn't give them a proper greeting earlier,
"Hey sorry for running off like that, I just REALY really had to go pee."
This time it's Courtney's turn to speak,
"Oh, no wonder you had that pained looking expression on your face!"
Yes, that is exactly why....
"Oh looky there! The debates are on!!"I here Angus yell.
Once I reach the couch he texts me,
You're welcome you babbling idiot!! -A
I show Angus my best thankful expression I can muster.
And so the debates begin with exit of my perfect bad boy reputation.....
