To Be in Love (A Josh Hutcherson FanFic) (COMPLETE)

Chapter 3

Chapter 3 -

I took a cab home by myself, because Megan had already left. It was awkward sitting alone. While I was riding home, my phone started buzzing. The caller ID showed Jake's name and a picture that he put on there of himself. I laughed and clicked "answer".

"Hey," I started.

"Hey, sorry I ran off like that." he apologized.

"That's okay," I replied.

"No. It's not okay. Let me make it up to you." he stated.

"How would you do that?" I asked hopefully.

"Would you like to go on a real date with me....like to a fancy restaurant?" he asked.

By that time, I arrived at the apartment complex. I walked over to the elevator and hit the button to our floor as I answered.

"Sure," I said.

"I'll pick you up tomorrow at 7pm. Where do you live?" he asked excitedly.

"I live at the "Fairway Apartment Complex". My apartment number is 2A." I replied.

"Okay. See you then!" he answered.

"See ya! Bye." I replied.

"Bye." he responded.

The line clicked and I clicked the "end" button. I smiled and squealed loudly as I stood in front of my apartment. Megan flew open the door, just as I was about to put in my key.

"What was all of that squealing for?" she asked.

"Sorry. Did I wake you?" I apologized.

"No. By the way, sorry that I kind of ditched you. I met this really cute guy. I'll make it up to you." she promised.

"No need, because I had a date myself." I smiled.

"With who!?" she squealed.

"Jake. I met him at work." I replied.

"Are you gonna see him again? Did he give you his number?" she asked excitedly.

"Yes. Tomorrow night at 7pm. Yes, he gave me his number, and I gave him mine. I just got off of the phone with him," I replied, trying to keep my cool.

We both squealed and started jumping up and down. After our squeal fest, we went to bed.

...

The next morning, I was very excited. I have a date with Jake tonight. I woke up before my alarm even went off. I turned it off so it wouldn't wake up Megan. I got up and saw that I had a text from Jake.

From Jake:
Good Morning! I hope you slept well.

Awe. He is so sweet! I blushed. Could I really be blushing over a guy I just met? We haven't even gone on our first date...yet.

I pulled off my covers and went over to my drawers. I pulled out a blue Hollister shirt and a pair of jeans. I don't have work today, because I take Saturdays off.

I walked by Megan's room. The door was closed, and I could hear her snoring through the door. I laughed under my breath.

I walked over to the pantry and pulled out a box of Lucky Charms. I grabbed a bowl from the cabinet and a spoon from the drawer. I pulled the half gallon of milk from the fridge. Then, I grabbed a glass out of the dish washer. I walked over to the stool and sat down. I poured my cereal and milk into my bowl and reached over and grabbed the tv remote.

I turned on the tv to see the Gossip Channel. The announcer was talking about Josh Hutcherson again.

"Boring!" I shouted at the tv and changed the channel.

The tv flipped to the news.

"Now that's what I'm talking about!" I exclaimed.

Megan walked out of her room, hair sticking every which way.

"Sorry, did I wake you?" I apologized.

"No. I've been awake for a while. I've been trying to figure out what you should wear tonight for your date," she replied.

"Shouldn't I be the one worrying about that?" I laughed.

"Knowing you would just show up in a pair of ripped jeans and a tshirt...no. No you should not," she replied sternly.

I laughed.

"So, what did you figure out?" I asked.

"I have your entire closet memorized. I don't think any of your outfits would be acceptable for a date," she replied.

"Thanks," I replied sarcastically.

She laughed.

"You know? I may have something you could borrow," she said running back into her room.

Megan ran back out of her room a few moments later holding something behind her back.

"Don't look!" Megan demanded.

"Okay. Okay. Eyes closing." I promised.

Something fell on my lap.

"Okay. You can open them." Megan said excitedly.

I opened my eyes and looked down on my lap. My eyes grew wide. It was a pink dress with a black belt hung around it. She handed me a pair of black flats and a pair of dangly earrings. The earrings were golden hoops.

"I know pink isn't your thing, but I think you'll look really cute in this dress," Megan stated, shaking me from shock.

"No. It's beautiful," I promised.

"Really? Okay. I don't know if it will fit though...Go try it on!" Megan demanded.

I stood up and ran over to the bathroom to try the dress on.

I came out and Megan's eyes grew big.

"Wow!" Megan squealed.

"Too much?" I asked, sadly.

"No...It's perfect." Megan said in awe.

"Thanks," I blushed.

"Hey, you better hurry up. We have a lot of work to do to get you ready in time for your date," Megan demanded.

"I'm hurrying. I'm hurrying," I promised.

It's times like this that make me glad to have a friend who's a girly girl.
