The Story of Us

In 20 Years You'll Look Back at This and Laugh

"Wait seriously? Just like that?" Lily asked me.

"Yup!"

"He just agreed because he wants to get back at him for egging his house?"

"Apparently."

"Speak of the devil and they shall arrive." Brittany says looking past me.

"Hey 'girlfriend'." Tyler joked sitting down next to me.

"What are you doing?" I asked, trying to be as polite as possible.

"Sitting down to eat lunch with my girlfriend." He smirked.

"You are aware that Will doesn't go here, so we don't have to pretend unless we actually see him somewhere."

"I'm aware that he doesn't go here, but everyone else at this school needs to believe our little secret for it to work. Even though Will hates my guts along with the rest of the football team, he does have friends that go here and he'll ask them if us dating is an actual thing."

"And you care that much?" Now it was my turn to smirk.

"Well, I'd like to put that jackass through as much misery as we can!"

"Spoken with much enthusiasm." Lily joked.

"I tend to take my jobs very seriously."

"Oh! So I'm just a 'job' now?" I ask sarcastically.

"Yes ma'am. Now I'm gonna head over to my table and join my friends, but I hear Will is going to the pizza place downtown with some of his buddies, and we are going to have our official first date there tonight! See you later." Then he caught me off guard by kissing my cheek, and he stood up and left.

"Uhh..." Brittany was just as shocked as I was.

"I don't know what just happened." I said.

"Just enjoy the fact that you've got a hot guy taking you out on dates and kissing you on the cheek." Lily stated.

I just laughed and continued to eat my food.

I went home after school started to do my homework when I heard a knock on the door. I was expecting Tyler, but I thought it was a little early for dinner, it was 3:30. Confused, I opened the door to see Britt and Lily standing there with clothes in their hands?

"What's going on? Why are you guys here?"

"To help you figure out what to wear tonight!" Lily said in a 'duh' tone.

She walked right past me and towards my bedroom. "Well come right in!" I said.

"Seriously? You were doing homework?" She asks me pointing to the books sprawled out on my bed.

"Uh, yes?" I said, "It is a Thursday night and I do have homework due tomorrow."

She laid out all hers and Brittany's clothes on my bed and swiped my books to the side. "Here" she threw me an outfit and told me to put it on. I took one look at the outfit and frowned.

"Not even gonna try it on, I'm not wearing this." I said.

"Just try it on. It can't hurt." Lily said hopeful.

I went into the bathroom and changed coming out with an annoyed look on my face.

"What's the matter? You look great!" Brittany beamed.

"Maybe...for a royal wedding!" I said looking in the mirror "Lily, I am not wearing a gown to go get pizza."

"You're right, it's too much." She glanced over her choices and threw me another outfit and shooed me into the bathroom. This one may have been closer to the goal outfit, but I also knew this was not the one, but I tried it on for their sake.
