Watch what happens when the new guy from England (Bradley Will Simpson) moves into the warm sunny beaches of Southern California and becomes a student at Newport Beach High School.
• • • Olivia's POV "Okay so what about that date?" Brad unfortunately found me at lunch and now stands in front of me smiling. His smile is just... I find myself staring at his smile and he smirks and repeats his question. "The date?"
"Um haha yea...the date."
"Are you coming or?"he says a bit unsure now.
"I have to tell you something but it's going to be really confusing okay?"
"...okay?"
"So... I woke up this morning totally regretting yesterday not because I didn't have fun but because I thought I was throwing away my hard work and I needed to stay focused. Skye nursed me back to health and I realized that I can work hard and see where we go instead of just avoiding you. But I just need to know that if we're going to keep going on dates, although you probably don't even like me anymore, then it needs to be around a school schedule so like no more skipping class and I need enough time to study and date at the same time. So basically I just need you to be lenient with my schedule. You probably don't even like me though so I guess it doesn't mat-"
"Why wouldn't I like you?" He says laughing at me now.
"Um... Why would you?"
" I haven't changed my mind since yesterday is what I'm saying." He chuckles again and I pull a pouty face and he attempts a straight face. " So you're letting me take you on a date right?"
"Yea" it's my turn to laugh this time.
"Wow, fifth times the charm ay?" He jokes.
"You're a jerk." I laugh walking away.
"No no no come back!" He says laughing.
"I'm going to go find Skye, I'll see you tonight."

I got home at about 2:40 and knew I had a date later with Brad so as I soon as I got home I grabbed a Naked Juice and my SAT prep test book for AP Calculus. I studied till about 4:00 then decided to take a quick nap because I was exhausted from school. I set my alarm for 4:30 so I had a half hour to sleep before I had to get ready. I threw my books on the white carpet at the foot of my bed and dropped my empty naked juice in the trash before collapsing on my duvet and knocking out. • I woke up dreading having to get out of my oh so comfy bed. When I finally remembered how to stand up again, I turned on the shower to the hottest it gets like a sauna and jumped in, the hundreds of hot drops hitting me all at once warming my muscles and relaxing my body. I quickly washed my hair and body to jump out and blow dry my hair.
I took a seat at the desk with all my makeup and started in with some mosturizer for my face. I quickly cleaned my eyebrows a bit and put on some eyebrow gel to keep them in place. Then I added my bare minerals foundation to my face and skipped on the contour and highlight. I grabbed my Nars concealer and dabbed some on before using the beauty blender to blend in my under eye and Cupid's bow. I quickly did a simple eyeliner (not winged) and Great Lash mascara then decided to finish the look off with a pink nude colored lipstick.
Now that I was done with makeup, it was about 5:30 meaning I had an hour and a half left. I grabbed my straightening iron and began on my hair. Being that I have the most thick hair that reaches almost to my bum, straightening it took me an hour. Once I was finally done and looked quite decent, I walked into my wardrobe and scanned all my clothes realizing I didn't know if the date was casual or fancy. I decided to wear something that would be acceptable for either, deciding against texting Brad and asking. After rummaging through piles and hangers, I pulled out a long sleeve grey knitted dress seeing as it got fresh with the ocean breeze at night and knee high boots. I took a picture to show Skye my outfit and messaged her.
Me: Date night with Brad in a half hour, rate my outfit?
Skye: of course! Casual or fancy?
Me: idk tbh I picked something in between :

Skye: Love the dress!!! 9.5/10
Me: He should be here soon, I'll see you at the party tmwrw x
Skye: have fun!
I walked downstairs grabbing a water bottle and taking a long drink before hearing a knock at the door. I knew it was Bradley so I waited a reasonable amount of time as if I was not waiting for him and opened the door.
He was wearing a typical black suit with black dress shoes and a white button down, the top few buttons undone. His blazer was no where in sight and he didn't have on a tie but he still looked fancy. He had his curls tamed more then usual, but still visible, and he had a piani in his hand. It was like the most proper date ever.
"Hey" he finally said handing me the piani.
"Hi " I smiled. I tried my best not be awkward as I followed him outside the door and into his black Mercedes Benz.
"So I'm going to be honest, I didn't know if I should dress fancy or casual." I laughed.
Brad's POV "You look beautiful." I see her cheeks turn a crimson red as I compliment her and I smile to myself knowing I can do that to her with just a few words.
"Thank you...you've had better days." She's smirks. I laugh at her teasing and pull out the driveway.
"I'm only joking, you clean up nicely." I think she just wanted to make sure I caught on to the joke.
"Thanks" I smile now looking at her. She smiles back and I return to driving. We arrive at the restaurant about fifteen minutes later and I tell the waiter at the front I had a reservation under 'Simpson'. The waiter leads us to a table for two outside on the dock, overlooking the ocean with fairy lights hanging above us. I see the waiter smile at Liv and hold her seat back for her to sit.
" I think I can assist my own date thank you, but we'll take two waters." I replace his hands with mine on her chair and see her giggle before taking a seat and pushing the chair in for her and finally taking my seat.
Once the waiter is out of sight, Liv looks up at me and smiles. "That was smooth curly."
"That waiter was totally hitting on you, did you see him? "
Olivia's POV I can see Brad didn't take it as lightly as I am, he's now fuming. I do my best to calm him down, even though I think it's cute he's protective even when it's just our second date.
"I must not have noticed it because I was to busy looking at you." I say casually. I guess part of the reason that came out so easily is because it's true. I see his face start to relax and he picks up the menu, as do I. Once we've both decided what we wanted and the waiter has taken our order, Brad is back to his normal state.
"So I guess the whole purpose of this date is I get to know you." He starts off.
"You can ask me any question until our food comes and I'll answer honestly, deal?"
I see him smirk knowing he's happy with the plan. "Deal."
