12.6 A Date Gone Wrong

A Date Gone Wrong

   I didn’t call Beth to tell her my answer was no because Ellie said she’d talk to her. We have been talking a lot since yesterday and she’s been opening up to me more and more. I told her that she needs to accept that her family just wanted to protect her from her mother and that everything will be okay. Tonight is the night we go to the Pier and I have my friend Leian set me up for a beautiful private dinner. She’s been the greatest friend I have ever had; I don’t know what I would do without her. Maybe kill Sam or something stupid.

I remembered I was talking to her on my phone.

“John, snap out of your boring monologue” She said shouting

“It’s not boring. If only you could read what I write about you on my notebook” I said to her

“Well I can’t so answer my question”

“What question?” I asked

“What color of flowers will be on the table, Red or Green?” She asked

“Green, definitely green” I said

“I better go, you owe me” She said

“Yeah, I’ll give you food on Christmas. Bye” I said hanging up

I lied on my bed with my phone on my hand

L, are you ready for tonight?

I sure am

Where are you?

I told you I’m at the library

Oops, sorry to bother you

Pick me up at 6

Sure

****

   I am ready for the date. I wore a white polo and a vest, jeans, black running shoes and my alliance necklace. I fixed my hair in the usual side parting in a modern way and I got the keys to the convertible. Leian gave me the roses I told her to buy for me and it looks good. Tonight I will not bring any weapons except for one, the family sword.

On my way down Mhyka saw me

“John, are the flowers for me?” She asked

“No, did you touch them” I said putting up my angry face

“Nope”

“Do I look bad?” I asked

“You look great, a little old fashion but great” She said

“Thanks”

I walked outside, opened the doors of the convertible and put the flowers on the backseat. Before I could ever turn around I heard a rip. It was Sam.

“What are you doing here Sam?” I asked

“Just checking if you got any room for two more”

“Nope, you can’t come on this one bud” I said “Besides, Mhyka can’t leave the house with you if I’m not with her”

“But!” He argued

“No Sam, please. You can hang out with Mhyka in the house if you want, watch TV or something” I said

“Okay fine” He said almost happy

   I approach the familiar doors of the Fraywood Manor and stared at the starts and moon carved door before I knock. I fixed my hair nervously and I tried to look presentable. A tall guy with an awesome formal robe opened the door, his hair a little bit wet. It was Adam.
