The Anon

Chapter 22: The Double Date Horror

Chapter 22: The Double Date Horror

For the rest of the week, I kept my blogging on the low. Britton questioned the super coincidental appearance of “The Anon” blogging about psychics when I had just talked about it with him. I convinced him many girls have problems and tend to go to psychics to relieve themselves of them.  I was surprised how easy it was to convince Britton, but then again he was pretty mortified when I said that and didn’t ask any more questions.

So, soon the beautiful day of Friday came along and I couldn’t wait to go home and watch ANTM and see who gets booted off. As I sat down during lunch, I was joined by Michelle as she placed her bagged lunch down with a huff.

“So, what’s up?” I asked as I took my bite out of my sandwhich.

“Everyone is in a relationship, but me.” said as Michelle slouched in her seat.

“Jesus, not you too. You have Emily!” I said as I put down my sandwich to address her.

“What about Emily?” asked Emily as she joined us at our lunch table. She flipped her red hair behind her and looked at us.

“I told Michelle not to be worried but not having a boyfriend because I’ll be there and you too.” I said as I shrugged my shoulder as I grabbed my water bottle and unscrewed the cap.

“Um.. about that Char, I actually have a boyfriend.” And at that moment our lunch table was splashed in my spit and water.

“What?!” I said as I capped my bottle and wiped my mouth. Staring at her she shrugged and smiled.

“Well, who is it?!” I asked incredulously.

“It’s Mikey Johnson.” said Michelle in an “I-told-you-so” voice. I looked back from Michelle to Emily.

“And you two decided to keep me out of the loop?! Yo, this “sisters before misters” code is so not working.” I said folding my arms across my chest.

“Aww, Charlotte he just asked me out two days ago and we’re actually going out tonight.”  said Emily as she placed her hands on the table and looked at me with this look I have seen before.

“Okay, I know that look. What do you want?”

“Would you and Chase double date with Mikey and I tonight?”

“No! Emily, you know America’s Next Top Model is on tonight and plus Chase would say no.”

“What would I say no for?” asked a voice. Turning around I saw Chase with his phone in his hand looking, might I say, really handsome. After checking him out and him noticeably smirking acknowlodging he saw me, I replied to him.

“Nothing.” I said shaking my head.

“It’s not nothing! I asked Char if you and her would like to join Mikey and I on a double date tonight.” said Emily to Chase, who ignored my gestures to distract him.

“Sure why not?” questioned Chase as he sat down next to me. He looked at me for my approval but I shook my head no.

“Come on, Char! Why?” he asked grabbing my hand and drawing circles on it. He’s doing it. It’s his way of making me go soft and convincing me. Well, not happening this time brother. Just as I opened my mouth to tell him he stopped me.

“Don’t tell me the reason is because America’s Next Top Model is on tonight.” he said shaking his head as I closed my mouth shut and avoided eye contact.

“Then it’s settled. We’re going on the double date.” he said as he got up from the table and left the cafeteria. I put my head in my hands and groaned.
