Don't wanna be torn

Chapter 16

By the time the half bell rings I'm already in the cafeteria. I see Hillary at the lunch table waiting for me. I wave and start to walk directly towards her.

      "You're not eating lunch?" I ask her, resting my chin in the palm of my hand.

"Nope...I'm not hungry." She says simply.
 
"Oh."
   
       "Where did you disappear to on the track? I was looking for you?" She asks, furrowing her eyebrows.

"Somewhere....with Lucas." I reply, looking down.

     "Woah!! And you didn't come and tell me right after!"

"Nothing happened he just asked me about the date."

      "Omg! Where?"

"I don't know he didn't say. He just said dress nice."

     "Then you will need my help."

"Why do you just assume I will need your help?"

    "Because I'm not going to have my good friend not looking her best on her very first date at her new school with a very attractive guy."

"Fine, fine... you can help. I need a nice dress."

     "Don't worry girl, Hillary is here." She says winking at me.

I can't help but laugh a little. I'm then interrupted by the loud bell ringing and people hurting to go to their next class. I quickly wave at Hillary then get up to go to my next class.

    Math class here I come. Which reminds me Daniel has to tutor me today since the last time it was cut short.

I do not look forward to seeing mrs. Sylvester. Especially since the last time I saw her I failed the major test.

        * * *

I hear a knock on my front door and rush down stairs. I assume that it's Daniel, so he can finish tutoring me. As soon as I reach the door and open it I see him standing there then walk straight in.

      "So...your house is nice." He says looking around.

"Yeah I guess. Follow me."

He follows me up the stairs and into my room, then onto the balcony. I open the double doors and to reveal to small chairs and a small table in the middle.

        "Oh, and here you go. I forgot to give this to you at the door." I turn around to see Daniel with a rose in his hand.

"Uhh....ok."

         "Oh gosh! Don't worry, no it's not from me this is from Lucas."

A huge weight was lifted off of my chest and I let out a huge exhale in relief.

"Oh good because there was about to be a huge problem in a few minutes." I tell him.

    "Nahh, I wouldn't do that to Lucas or Hillary."

"Good." I say simply.
  
        "So I heard about that date. You and Lucas." He says placing his things on the table and sitting in one of the chairs.

"Do you know where he is taking me ?" I ask a little excited.

    "Yeah."

"Where?....tell me!"

       "No thanks."

"Why?"

       "Because what kind of friend would I be to tell a girl where he is taking her. Obviously it's a surprise." He says, giving me a devious smirk.

  "Well since you aren't going to tell me, we can at least start with the homework I sadly don't understand." I say ignoring his facial expression.
