Leigh held on tightly to Earl's hand and smiled as sweetly as a cold-hearted girl could. They were sitting at KFC, waiting for the other to go the counter and start ordering. But Leigh could not move and looked lovingly into Earl's eyes.
"Can you order now?" Earl whispered.
"No, you go," Leigh said and glared at Earl.
Earl rolled his eyes and sighed, defeated. Letting go of Leigh's hand, he walked up to the counter and was surprised to find Holly standing there. She was painting her nailsnonchalantly and bit on her tongue at the same time.
"Holly? What are you doing here?" Earl questioned.
"Oh, hi Earl! I am just working here for the money." Holly said and waved her hand. "Came her with a girl, huh?" She nodded her head towards Earl. "Is she the one you wanted to make jealous. 'Cos I still cannot believe that you asked me to pretend to be his girlfriend and even made me pick up her call."
"Yeah yeah, whatever. I think she is great." Earl spoke dreamily.
Meanwhile, Leigh was waiting impatiently at her table and drummed her fingers on the table. She heard the entrance door of the restaurant open and looked back. Her blood turned cold and she froze, her body unable to move. No way. No CENSORED way.
Earl strolled back to the table and sat down with their food. When he saw Leigh's...vegetable condition, he asked, "Leigh, did you go into shock or something?"
Leigh seemed to snap back into reality and blinked once. She glanced back again and looked back and said, "It is nothing."
"Leigh..." Earl replied and followed the direction of Leigh's gaze. He realised she was looking at a boy around their age. Earl narrowed his eyes and asked menacingly, "Is he bothering you?"
"No, no, he isn't," Leigh spoke and slid a stray strand of hair behind her ear, looking clearly uncomfortable. She dropped her voice and whispered, "He is just my ex-boyfriend."
Earl's eyes widened in shock and he squealed in disbelief. He slammed his hands down on the table excitedly and scared Leigh. "So HE is your ex-boyfriend! I am going to go speak to him!"
Leigh reached her hand out and stopped Earl. "No, don't do it." she said. Earl sat back down.
"What do you want to do with him?" Earl asked.
Leigh opened her mouth and closed it, looking unsure. Then her eyes lit up and she grinned wickedly. "What if..."
Earl leaned forward, almost knocking down the drinks. "What if what?"
Leigh picked up a drink and sipped it slowly, twisting a lock of her hair. "What if we prank him?"
