Devastating Smile

Date

Jasper: Hey Jade

Why is this idiot texting me?

Jade: What child?

Jasper: Um... I was wondering if you wanted to go on a date? You know, see how it goes?

Jade: Oh.. sure.

I don't want to seem like a push-over but I'm not someone that guys ask out a lot. It means a lot and if he is a total idiot it'll just be one date.

Jasper: Really? I'll pick you up at 6. We can catch a movie.

Wow. I guess I should head back to my apartment. Get out of Cam's hair. If Matt found out it would be kind of hard to explain why I was over at his friend's house.

I looked for Cameron and once I found him on the couch I figured I'd ought to go, "Thanks for letting me stay over but I need to head back," I told him.

He hopped up, "Um sure but I don't think they're done yet, I doubt the guys I called will be done till this evening. They said they would start this morning."

"Well I still need to get changed," I said. I'll also have to tell Jasper that I'll meet him at the movie theater. I can't really ask him to pick me up at Cam's, and I don't want to stay at my place with those guys there.

"Well let's go," Cam said while pulling himself up, "What're you getting changed for?" He furrowed his eyebrows as he questioned.

"Oh," crap, I guess it's fine to tell him, it's not like I ever could actually be with him. "Well there's this guy who was in my class, you know, Jasper, and he asked me out tonight," I told him as nonchalantly as possible.

"Oh," Cam whispered as though the thought never could have entered his head. Gosh I get I'm not a supermodel but I'm not that ugly.

"Sheesh, don't act so surprised!" I spat angered. The nerve of some people. Frick-fraking hot people, think they're so high and mighty.

I heard Cam huff, "I'm not surprised I just... I don't really know?" Is that supposed to make me feel better?

I hopped in his car because apparently my genius-self forgot mine. While we were in the car I texted Jasper and told him I'd meet him at the movie theater.

Once at my apartment building I hopped out and angrily thanked Cam. Just as I went to shut the door though I heard him holler, "Are you still gonna stay at my place tonight if those guys aren't done?"

I don't have a whole lot of options, "I guess," I told him as I walked off. Once I got to my place I could tell people were there so I quietly changed and left, not wanting to get in the way. I went to the mall to kill time cause it was only 4:50.

While I was there I window shopped and thought. What were you thinking Jade?! You're an idiot, that's your favorite brother's best friend. BIG NO NO! I walked around until it was time to go and met up with Jasper at the theater. I was still kind of grouchy, but I tried to brush it off as we got seated to watch the new Star Wars movie.

By the end of the movie I was feeling sooooo much better. I love movies, they're like bridges into another life! After that, I figured it was time to leave, but Jasper offered to take me out to dinner. 'What kind of lady would I be if I refused?' I thought as a smiled slyly.

He brought me to a nice little Italian restaurant. I kept my order cheap cause he was paying and I didn't want to be rude. I got up to go to the restroom at one point and when I came back you'll never believe what I saw! Jasper trying to spike my drink!

I marched right over to him and dumped the drink on his face! "Creep!" I whisper yelled, trying not to cause an even bigger scene.

I went to call Cameron cause I let the creep drive me here from the movies and my car was still there. Once I got outside though, the creep drug me around back and pinned me against the wall! Oh hell nah! Who does he think he is! I kneed him right where it counts and started running.

Freakshow though apparently had other plans. He grabbed my ankle and I face planted. Tears started to trickle down my face as did blood from my nose, as he pinned me down this time and I realized I wouldn't be able to get away. He was strong, he was starting safety on the football team last year.

I closed my eyes and cried until, as cliche as it is, there was Cameron. He picked the dude up and punched him in the face! Yeah, get him! Beat up the fart nugget! By the time Cam was done with him the dude's nose was broke, and his eye was swollen, and his lip was busted, and all sorts of great-I mean bad stuff.

There it is! And look more than just my one friend is actually reading this!
