Almost Impossible

Chapter Eight

*Paula King*

"Thanks alot Bells. i promise i'm gonna return your hoodie tomorrow." i told her as i wiped some spaghetti off the back of my ear. I think that was all of it. I was wearing Bells hoodie. We were practically the same size so it fit me perfectly. She was my saviour. i wouldn't have been able to go out still wearing that food stained shirt.
"Sure, no problem. I'm glad you didn't get seriously injured." Bells said handing me more tissues.
"Yeah me, too."
"She's such a maniac. If you had let me i would have clawed her eyes out." Ayla said crossly.
I turned to look at her and smile. "I'm glad you didn't. She wouldn't have survived it." i tossed the tissue into the waste basket and headed out of the ladies.
"Do you think Shane actually cancelled his date with her just like she said?" Ellen asked disbelievingly.

"It's gotta be true right? I mean she won't just come attacking me like that for no reason." i said and they nodded in agreement.

"Mitchie!" a familiar voice called. I turned to see Shane jogging towards me.
"I heard what happened. Are you alright? Did she hurt you?" he asked tenderly, he caressed my cheeks gently. I felt so touched that he was concerned about me, i felt intoxicated by him and our proximity.
But i wasn't going to give him credit for caring about me. Afterall, this happened because of him.

"I'm fine." i told him, firmly removing his hands from my face. "Although i can't say the same for your girlfriend. You should actually be with her right now."

"Don't call her that. She is no longer my girlfriend. Not after what she did to you."

"You broke up with her?"

"Yeah. If she's gonna mess with you, then she should just forget about me." he said so confidently. He pulled me closer to him and hugged me tight.
I rested my head on his chest and smiled. My heart swelled with happiness.
God! how i love this guy.

"You sure you're okay? I can carry you if you want." Shane asked me for the one hundredth time. We were making our way to the car park.
"I'm fine Shane, really. Plus how would you even manage to carry me? You're carrying all my stuffs already." i snickered.
"I can manage it all you know." he boasted and i rolled my eyes. It felt so nice to be talking to him again. I hated being mad at him.

"Speaking of which." Shane groaned as he stuffed my stuffs into the car trunk.
"I was invited to a party and i don't have a date so would you come with me?" he asked me, flashing me that gorgeous smile that always threw me over the edge.

OMG. He just asked me to be his date.

Shane just asked me to be his date.

I wanted to scream. "Are you being serious right now?" i asked to be sure i heard correctly

"Dead serious. No one better than you to be my date."

Oh my God! He just said it

He called me his date. Someone pinch me.

"Well? Don't leave me hanging" he said in a strained voice.
I would never "Sure why not?" i said as casually as i could frame my voice to be. "When is it?"

"Saturday."

"That's tomorrow."

"I know. It's a birthday party, but i don't know who's celebrating but i was invited anyway. I won't be home all morning but i'll be back early enough to take you."
"Okay, i said." I made a mental note to call Leo and cancel our meeting.

"Hey, honey" Daina greeted as I walked into the kitchen.

"Hey Daina." i greeted back walking over to kiss her on the cheek.

"What are you making?" i asked making my way over to the refrigerator to get some grape juice

"Hambagu steak, rice and cury gravy. Something special for your dad."

"Delicious." i said, pouring myself some juice.

"Hey Mitchie, i need your help with something." she said. She stopped what she was doing to stare at me.

"What?" i walked over to the counter, and sipped my juice.

"Well, as you know. Christmas is just around the corner and i have no idea what to get your dad... so i need your opinion. What do you think i should get him?"

"You know, if you just made one of this special meals of yours. That'll be more than enough for him." i told her
"Maybe. But it's not enough for me. I want to get something special...You know what i mean."

"Yeah.. Why don't you write him a song." i suggested.

"A song?"

"Yeah. A christmas love song, dedicate it all to him."

"You know what? That's a wonderful idea." she smiled.

"Something smells good in here." Shane said. He walked over to Daina and kissed her cheeks just like i'd done.
I left the both of them and headed upstairs to my room. Shane had already dropped all my things in there.
I walked over to my side table and got out my phone.
I searched my laundry basket for the jeans i wore. When i found it, i took out the reciept and dailed the number on it.

After the second ring someone picked up.
"Hello?"

"Leo. It's me Mitchelle." i said walking over to my bed and jumping into it.

"Hey you finally called." he said cherrily from the other end.

"Yeah, but i'm calling to cancel our meeting tomorrow, something came up. I'm sorry."

"It's okay. i have other things to do too. Maybe some other time." he said.

"Sure... thanks... bye" i sighed as i cut the line.
I walked up to my closet and scanned the dresses there. But i couldn't seem to find something perfect for this occassion. I sighed in fustration.
Then i glanced back at my bed, where my phone lay.
I walked over to it and picked it up. My fingers worked fast as i texted Ayla, Anji, Bells and Ellen at once
I needed them.
Just as i pressed the send button. Fabian came in.
