We continued walking and FINALLY got to sit down. The waiter gave us menus and I looked at the meals. Rice, steak, soy sauced and spicy tofu, or rice noddles with soy sauce, eggs and spam?
"What are you getting?" Someone whispered. I jumped and almost tipped the table up. I turned my head at Nathan, glaring at him. "What? I didn't do anything!"
"I don't know what I'm getting, either that one or that one."
"Since you can't choose Cupcake, I'll get the noodles for you. Just get the rice with the tofu. I'm not even hungry." Nathan waved off. My stomach churned as he sent me a smile.
"Um, o-okay."
"Hey, tomorrow, I need you to help me with something," he said.
"Why not ask me now?"
"Are you sure?"
"Shoot."
"So my mom said she's tired of seeing me alone even though I'm fine so I wanted to ask you if you wanted to be my fake girlfriend for a while?" He whispered, er questioned. I froze and looked at him, directly into his chocolate brown eyes. He asked me to be his fake girlfriend?!! What do I say?! Aghh!
"But why me? Why not any other girl at school? What about Ally?" I asked, not trying to freak.
"Because I can tell Ally likes Parker and you're the only girl that doesn't act like such a pain in the ass."
"Well okay then. Do we tell them?" I gestured to our friends.
"Yes, because our friends need to know. But they can't learn the truth." I sighed deeply.
"You tell them."
"Fine. Guys, listen up!" Our friends looked at us. "We have an announcement. Michelle and I are...." The girls shook in their seats, waiting for me to say the last word. The guys just looked at me like, "I'm bored."
"We are together." I said cheerfully, but not to cheerfully.
*****
"You must!" Ally insisted. She put my hair up in a bun, leaving curly strands of hair tickling my ears."Fine, but that means I get to plan out what you wear for your date on Saturday."
"Deal."
*****
I saw someone's shadow and turned around. Nathan smiled."Hey, what're you doing here?" I asked. He moved his hands and played with the dangling hair.
"If we want to get this act good, we got to make it real." He whispered. He moved his face closer to mine and scanned my face. I looked into his beautiful chocolate brown eyes. He closed the gap between us and I heard people around us gasp silently. He pulled back and smiled again.
"I'll see you later," he winked and walked off into the direction of his class. I walked off like that wasn't anything unusual. Let's see how this day turns up.
*****
"I love your hair!" A random girl exclaimed. She faked a smile and I rolled my eyes."You know, Friday you said you wanted to rip my hair out and that decision wouldn't change. And I'm not stupid, unlike your sorry ass." I fired back and walked out the classroom. I went into Math, waiting for Nathan to arrive. If his big plan fails, I will just punch him. He suddenly ran into the room and looked around. His eyes landed on me and he smiled. Okay, initiate plan "Ask To Be Girlfriend And Say Yes". He walked towards me and asked me to stand up.
"Michelle, I know we've been secretly dating for while now and there was always a question stuck in my head. What are we? So today I wanted to ask, will you be my girlfriend?" Even thought I knew this was fake and all, but it seemed like it was real. I blushed a bright pink.
"I-I don't know what to say." I paused for a moment. "Yes, I will be your girlfriend." He smiled wider and kissed me. Every single gossiper was writing in their notebooks.
*****
We walked out of the classroom, holding hands as we passed by people."I am so hungry!" I exclaimed. Nathan chuckled as I skipped ahead of him and into the cafeteria. He caught up with me and we got lunch. I sat down next to Nathan at the usual table.
"Hey guys! Wassup?" I asked.
"Just talking about maybe taking a mall trip tomorrow." Ally replied.
"Cool, I'd like to come!" I said.
*****
I ran up to the bookstore as Nathan groaned in agony."C'mon, it's only the fourth floor! I promise this will be the last store!" I begged.
"You said that 11 stores ago!" He whined. I rolled my eyes. I didn't say that 11 stored ago. I said that 7 stores ago! I pulled him inside the bookstore and scanned through the fiction aisle. My eyes landed on the fattest book and took it out. (Please take notice that this book ISN'T real!) Lela and The Shipwreck.
*****
Okay, 5 books. I paid the cashier and took off, Nathan trailing behind me."Are you sure this is the last store?" Nathan asked.
"Yes I'm sure. Now come on! Our friends are waiting for us!" I yelled. We went down 3 escalators, and went out the doors. Our friends were chilling out and when they saw us, they smiled.
"You took forever, you know that?" Nathan questioned.
"So did you. You took approximately 29 minutes and 43 seconds to buy a skateboard. And whatever you do, I'm not going to ride it. And you will never teach me." I said defiantly.
<920 words>
