Zerrie

Chapter 16

Marcel's POV

I have a red rose for Bianca and wearing a tuxedo because Bianca finally said yes. I got the surgery so I can have my voice back. I didn't want it at first because I was afraid it would hurt. But, I fell asleep right when I drank this juice they gave me. I'm ready. We meet at Applebee's, my favourite restaurant for celebrating my birthday. "Nice tuxedo." Bianca says. "Nice Dress." I say, awkwardly. I give her the rose and she holds my hand. I try to stay calm because my brain just went all party right now. We sit down and get our menus. "Drinks?" The waitress says. "Water." I say. "Coke." Bianca says. I widen my eyes. Coke? Who would go that wild??? "So, where do you plan to go after University?" Bianca says. "Maybe be an actuary. They pay alot. You know, discover when people die and stuff." I say. Bianca chuckles. "I plan to, be a novel writer." Bianca says. "Here are your drinks. What food can I get you guys?" The waitress says, with her little notepad. "I will like the alfredo pasta." I say. "BLT please." Bianca says. The waitress gets our menus. "Your food will be ready in about 15 minutes." The waitress smiles and leaves. "So, where's your brother?" Bianca says. I widen my eyes. What am I going to say? I killed him? That would be a bad first impression. But lying is too. "He moved out. To, a better place." I say, awkwardly. That was a good save. "You look really cute with your hair done like that." Bianca says, with my hair parted to the other side. "Here's your BLT and pasta. Enjoy!" The waitress says. We start eating right away. 

"I had the best night of my life Marcel. Thank you." Bianca says. She kisses my cheek. She gets in her dad's car and wave goodbye. I look to see if she left completely that she can't see me so I can Jump up and down and shout, "BEST NIGHT EVAAAAAAAAA" without a care. I skip around the nieghbourhood looking like an idiot. "WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOO" I shout. When I stop with all the excitement, I see Bianca, standing there awkwardly. I put my hands down. I'm so embarassed. "Hey wild child, I've never seen that side of you." Bianca says. My face goes like O_O. "Marcel, do you want to go on a date to the park tomorrow?" Bianca says. I think you would already know my answer. YES YES YES! But, I try to be calm. "Sure." I say, brushing my hair a little. "Okay, 3:00pm." Bianca says. "Yup. 3:00pm." She kisses me on the cheek again and skips back to her dad's car. In my head, I'm partying like it's my birthday...alone. But I don't care. Bianca just asked me out. I think I've grown into manhood today. IMMA MAN! I think. I take the bus back to my apartement and watch some good old hockey. I wish I could play hockey. I was never encourage to though. I focus on my studies for now and wait for what my future will bring me. I get a text on my flip phone....from Bianca. "Love you ;)"
