(18) Friend or foe?

We lounge on the seats, letting the sun beat down on us, as we await our meal. Tilly hides beneath her sunglasses, pondering over how to start. Hers eyes flitted to me every 5 seconds, as if to check I was still there.

"Lets here it then." I sigh in frustration. No doubt this is going to resolve into a argument.

Tilly's eyes instantly brighten with hope, and she claps her hands in preparation.

"Do you remember the discussion we had last night?"

Honestly, how could I not forget?

"Do I look like a bad friend who would forget?" I roll my eyes for effect. "And you did say I was a goody too shoes!" I shoot her a look of annoyance and hurt.

"Ouch, I'm sorry!" Tilly winces from my blow, but soon recovers. "But anyway here's my plan/mission, whatever you want to call this." Waving her hands around to make her point.

"Your my best friend, and I love you to pieces. But I think it's time for you to take risks honey. It's time to go on adventure, find your self. Let adrenalin take over your body! I know that you've just gone and gotten yourself a boyfriend. Don't let him hold you down. You have amazing flawless grades, but adventure... This is supposed to be your best time in your life!" Tilly rambles on with excitement and passion.

"Wait, is this an intervention?" I question before she could continue talking. I was clearly hurt and in pain my best friend had to plan an intervention.

Before Tilly could answer, Caleb strolled in with a dazzling smile and the best looking pancakes!!!

"Hello lady's!" His smile sparkled as his voice dropped into a sexy tone. Tilly just laughs and sprints over to him to grab the delicious aroma, that helped to die down the tension in the air.

"I'm officially in love!" She squeals with delight.

"I don't think your boyfriend would like you saying that to me." He smiles mischievously.

"Oh shut up Caleb. I was talking about these pancakes!" Tilly swats him away teasingly.

"That's what they all say..." He rolls his eyes and smirks. Which received a Tilly innocent smile.

"Caleb you've come at the right time though!" Tilly seats herself back down and beckons Caleb over to join.

"Wait, have I been called upon to make fun of, or to be pranked." He says suspiciously, eyeing Tilly. "What what did you do to the chair?" He said in bewilderment and a slight tinge of fear.

"Just get your ass over here and eat some heaven!" Tilly says impatiently.

"Fine." He grumbles. "Hey Kayla! I see you've made it through the night." He brightens immediately as he talked.
But all I could think was, god that jaw line...

I mentally shake my head to try and clear this haze. By the time I had zoned back, they had already found another way to go at one another

"What's that supposed to mean?" Tilly raises an eyebrow.

"Just you can be annoying, persistent...." Tilly slaps his leg to show dominance.

"I'm sorry, my mother told me to always speak the truth! But don't let your heart drop dear. We all know feisty ones are the best." He laughs. Tilly just carries on with her food as if to drown him out.

"What you are here for is to answer a simple question." This made Caleb sit up straighter and you could almost make out the cogs turning in his brain. If we weren't sitting on Tilly's baloney, I'm sure we would be on a quiz show.

"Is Tilly adventurous, or a goody to shoes?" Tilly says bluntly, while Caleb glances over at me to rate my reaction. I just give a warm encouraging smile to show it was okay.

"Um.... Will this come between, ah both of you?" He ponders out loud carefully.

"Just answer the damn question!...........HONESTLY!" Tilly quickly and forcefully demanded, threatening her eyes to bulge out of her head.

"Well, Kayla. You have amazing qualities that all of us admire within your personality. But one in particular is being a goody to shoes."

After a long awkward pause...

"You just sounded like you broke up with her!" Tilly bends over laughing.

"Okay, I must admit I am a bit of a goody to shoes..." I mumble off.

"1st step is to admit your problem." Tilly mumble through her mouthfuls of pleasure.

"Where did you find that advice from?" I tease.

"Actually I read an article on Intervention..." She admits lightly.

"We'll you went to all that effort, I'm impressed and slightly offended." I say teasingly.

"Next step is to take action." Tilly carries on as if never heard nothing.
"That's why I've already started an idea! The adventure list!"

"Woah, don't you think this is all of a sudden?"

"Why? Do you like.......Final Chance better?" Tilly looked at me confused, as if trying to work out how to please me.

I must admit Final Chance had a nice ring to it....

"Final Chance does sound better.." Before I could finish Tilly cut in.

"What did I say, my idea/plan whatever... Anyway it would be epic and worth while!" She says in a exasperation breath.

"Sure......" I try and catch Caleb attention for help.

He just sends me a pointed look tell me it was my own mess.

God, boys!

"We'll then girls, ill leave you to it. What ever this is...." Caleb points between Tilly and me.

"Well now that he's gone, it's time to get down to business." Tilly shuffles around the room searching for pen and paper. Once finding what she was looking for, she plonked back down next to me and started heading it up.

Final Chance

"Now all we have to do is fill the list! I've already started recording ideas too." Tilly smiled up at me for a sign of conformation.

I just gave her a slight nod, and a ghost of a smile. This was going to be a long day....
