I'm In Love With A Nerd

Chapter Eleven

Last week, Blake took me to Olive Garden on our first date. Since then, we've been to the movies twice, once we saw Smurfs, then we saw The Lion King. Both times we went without his mom there. She really trusts him. I don't want to do anything to make her doubt me. I've been to his house everyday after school, oh and guess what? No one knows yet. I mean we've only been dating like maybe three weeks, but when Halle finds out. I swear i'm done for. 

It's late October and Blake and I decided instead of going trick-or-treating, we're just going to walk around the block. I have to tell Halle before then though. she's going to see us together, and if I don't tell her first, I might not see this Christmas, or my fifteenth birthday. I looked up from my notebook and realized school was just about over. Today was our last day before the long weekend. I looked at what I had been doing for the past hour. The back of my notebook was practically covered in hearts and Blake's name. 

Tonight, I'm going over to Halle's and I think I'm going to throw my notebook at her then run down the stairs and lock myself in the bathroom. I'm very proud of my plan. hopefully it works. I started to get all of my stuff together then the bell rang and everyone jumped up and started to the door. I waited a few minutes until everyone was out and I could leave without being smushed. I went by my locker and got my bag out and started towards the door. Halle and I had planned on meeting in the courtyard and walking to her house. 

"Hey! Wait up!" I heard Halle yell as she runs down the hallway to catch up with me. I come to a dead stop as I watch her run. She really looks awkward when she runs. I mean she runs fast but her legs are so long, gosh it's just insane. She catches up in no time and we were on our way to her house. 

"So." She says as we walk away from the school building. She has an excited look on her face. 

"So what?" I replied a little worried about what she was going to say.

"So... I have a great idea for tonight."

"Really now? Who does this idea involve?"

"Well, you, me, Trent, and Joe. Oh, and also the movie theater. Maybe some popcorn action. It all just depends." 

"Halle," I said with a whimper. "I don't want to go on a date tonight. I really just can't."

"Why? It's just one little date!" She whimpers worse than I do. 

"I can't. Don't ask I just can't"

"Oh come on! I really like Trent, and word on the street is that Joe likes you." I hate it when she sings her responses at me.

"Fine, but it's not a real date. Okay?"

"Yippee! I call them right now!" She whipped out her stupid little iPhone and dialed the number. I pulled my phone out to, ya know, try not to yank the phone away from her and throw it across the sidewalk we were on. 

"Great. Yeah we'll be there. Of course. Okay. See ya." She said into the phone. "Lily, thank you so much for doing this for me." Sometimes, I just had to do it. 

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. You owe me big time for this."

"I don't see why you don't like Joe. He's funny, sweet, and not to mention very attractive." I mean, she was right. He was really cute. He had shaggy blonde hair and he was really tan. He had blue eyes, was really tall, and not to mention the quarter back for the football team. I still didn't like him as much as I liked Blake. Blake was sweet, charming, funny, smart. I mean, sure he wasn'tcoordinated enough for sports, but he was still amazing. I'm almost sure I love him. I mean I'm not going to tell him that. At least, not yet. 

I reluctantly went to her house and browsed her closest for something to wear. I don't want to look too nice, but currently I'm wearing a sweatshirt and old, baggy jeans. I pulled out a t-shirt that said "Welcome to Never land! Please Enjoy Your Stay!" I loved this one of hers. I'm pretty sure that whenHalle was younger, she sat by her window and waited for Peter Pan to show up and take her away. I pulled out a pair of dark wash skinny jeans and a pair of boat shoes and started to strip.  I had just put the shoes on when Halle walked in.
