Whispers Of A Lover

Chapter Five

So long story short I text Hazel a short summary of what happened and after school Hazel brought me her shirt, that she uses for gym, to wear and she may or may not have threatened to castrate Dean but I talked her out of it. I also thanked her profusely considering the fact that I smell so bad I would probably have to throw all the clothes away including her shirt.

----------------------------------------------------
I am now on shower three and the smell has been mostly washed away, or so I hope because the other option is that I have gotten used to the smell. I walk out of the bathroom and to my room to try and find something to wear tonight to the movies with Max. My mom doesn't get home till six to take me to the movies, which I am thankful for because I would probably be interrogated as to why I took three showers in a row. However the point being is that I still have plenty of time to find something to wear. I don't even know why I am so transfixed on what i'm going to wear we have gone to the movies together like a million times but I cant help but think maybe this time will be the time he holds my hand, or maybe this time is the time he will lean over and make out with me and profess his undying love. I think I would be perfectly happy if he said I looked cute, I mean that would work to.

So after I tried on all those clothes that I keep in the back of my closet (you know the ones that are super cute but you never have the guts to wear) but I still end up wearing jeans and a T-shirt like I do every other day. I also put on some foundation and mascara just because I have an extra thirty minutes before my mom gets home to take me to the movies. My hair I just throw it into a ponytail for fear of trying something new, then Max would wonder why I did something different with my hair then I would just have to come up with some lame excuse. I would prefer just to avoid that situation entirely.

     -------------------------------------------------------------------
So my mom is finally home at six the same as usual "Well you look nice." She pauses for a second "WAIT! Did max finally ask you out! Oh my goodness! Yes! Finally!" my mom starts doing a little dance in the kitchen and my cheeks start heating up, "MOM!" I yell at her she stops mid dance and looks at me "No Max didn't ask me out we are just going to the movies as friends, you know the same as always" I tell her with a hint of annoyance. I have never really told my mom that I have a crush on Max but she kinda figured it out herself, in the creepy way that moms always figure out everything, so now every time Max and I go some where together she reacts like this.

"I'm sorry honey, I just figured that he finally realized you like him, and you know, asked you out. Then there also is the fact that you did your makeup, which you never do, I might add. So I kinda put two and two together."

I sigh kinda feeling bad for reacting the way I did I know she just wants me to be happy. "I know mom and sorry for yelling at you but you kinda put two and two together and got like ten, you know what I mean? Your answer was way off" I tell her with a bit of a chuckle trying to lighten the mood. She just smiles at me and nods "So when are you suppose to be there for your "friendly get together"?" She asks putting air quotes around "Friendly Get together". 

"Well I am suppose to meet him there at seven, we are wanting to watch Suicide Squad there is all this hype about it so we want to see if it is really all its made out to be" I explain to her. "Suicide Squad that sounds very kid friendly" she says sarcastically. "Well it is six fifteen do you want me to drop you off now?"

"If you don't mind, me and Max like to play at the arcade there before the movies" I tell her she nods her head and grabs her keys.

------------------------------------------------------------
"Thanks mom" I tell her as I shut her car door at the movies. "Have fun, and I expect a full report when you get home" she tells me I just roll my eyes in response and wave as she pulls away. Great now I get to go watch a movie with my crush in a dark room while being friend zoned, and pretending I am not in love with him. This is going to go fantastic, I think to myself sarcastically.
