I woke up late on Saturday morning, knowing that everything was a nightmare. I was so relieved that I was just dreaming. I picked up my cell and had a message from Tiffany.
CALL ME LATER! Bye!
Then it all came back to me that it wasn’t a dream after all. I sighed and went to the bathroom. I got all ready, and went downstairs, where my brother was eating his cereal, half sleeping. I rolled my eyes at him and I had some cereal myself.
Later on, I called Tiffany. She picked up.
“Hello?” she said through the phone.
“Oh hey, you wanted me to call?” I asked.
“Alice! Was I dreaming or are you and Kris going out?!” she wanted to know.
“I thought I was dreaming too, but it’s all real.”
“Oh My God! Okay, let’s, um, meet at the park, in like a half hour?”
“Sounds great.” I said.
“Okay, bye!” she said and hung up.
I was all ready anyway, so I decided to walk outside for a bit.
To my surprise, Kaleb was doing the same thing. I smiled and waved at him.
“Hey! Alice!” he said, walking over to me, “what’s up.”
“Oh, nothing, I’m meeting with Tiffany in a bit, that’s all.” I shrugged.
“Really? Okay.” He said.
“Yeah, what are you doing?” I asked.
“Nothing, just walking around.” He replied. “So, uh, I heard that you’re going out with Kris now…” he said in an expression that I couldn’t get.
“How… did you know?” I asked curiously.
“Oh I looked through the window and saw you guys making out.” He replied.
I blushed bright pink, “we were so not making out!” I snapped.
“Okay, whatever you say…” he shrugged.
“I’m serious, we really weren’t! I just agreed to go out with him last night and he said he was happy, and it was just a simple goodnight kiss, that’s all!” I explained.
“Yeah, I get it, okay.” He said.
I nodded, “Good, um, I better get going now…” I said, although there was some time left.
“What’s the rush?” he wanted to know.
“No rush.” I told.
“Okay, then hang around for a bit.”
“Um, don’t you have any plans with Kelly?” I accidentally asked. I really didn’t mean it in a bad way, but I guess that’s how he took it.
“Well, now that you mention it, I’ll just make some.” He said, not too nicely.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that, I was just asking…” I felt guilty.
“Okay, just forget it, see you around” he said and left.
I hoped he wasn’t mad at me or anything, I really did.
After a while, I began walking towards the park, and met up with Tiffany.
“Hey” I greeted her.
“Hey Alice! So, how do you feel about all of this?” she asked.
“Um, fine I guess.” I replied.
