Firkle's date with Ike
When I arrived at Stark's Pond, Ike was already there. I sighed and he smiled at me, jumping up off the bench he was sitting on and walking over to me. When I got close enough, he wraps his arms around me in a hug.
"What's with the random date thing? Are friends supposed to date?" He asks me, raising an eye brow. Do I tell him about the ask? Why not? It's not like some huge secret.
"Have you heard of Ask Craig and his Non-Friends?" Ike looks confused for a second, and then he smiles. He smiles too much, he's always smiling.
"Yes! Ruby and Karen were on it, I really desperately want to go on! But I haven't been invited and when I requested to go on last time Craig just told me to wait. I'm Ruby's friend! I should have a pass to go on whenever I want!" Ike finished his small rant, crossing his arms and pouting at the end of it.
"Trust me, half the questions I got were hardly even about me. Most of them were; 'do you like Ike?' 'What would you do if Filmore confessed to you?' And 'who would you date other than Filmore?'"
"How'd you answer then?" Ike asks, he still has his arms folded but he's no longer pouting. I roll my eyes.
"Don't worry, I said I didn't know you, that I would explode with happiness, which is true, and that I'd date Craig." I don't mention the part where Henrietta stole my phone and acted like a complete conformist bitch. It didn't matter, I don't want to hide the fact that I find guys more appealing than girls.
Ike is different. He doesn't want to come out, he wants to stay in the closet. He's scared of what his parents would think, but I know that Sheila Broflovski is going to be proud of Ike regardless of who he dates.
Ike smiles brightly, hugging me. "Thanks Firkle, it's not that I'm embarrassed of myself, it's just..." I place my hand on his shoulder.
"It's okay, I know you're situation. We're friends, and as a friend I'm supposed to agree with you and be there for you, so let's go on that 'date.'"
Ike smiles once again. It's a habit of his. Something he does a lot. Like Henrietta's habit of having bad girlfriends.
"Okay! Let's go on our 'date.'"
