Lucy sat there in the middle of the road just staring at me. A warm metallic taste filled my mouth, I sat back in my seat and flipped down the mirror and looked blankly at my freshly busted lip. "Lacy! What the hell?" I yelled, using my hoodie to wipe away the blood from my lips. "You and Liam are going on a date?" Her mouth was gaping open as if she was in shock. "Are you serious? You just smacked my face off the dash because Liam asked me on a date? I get that I am not a bleach blonde Barbie doll but come on, I'm not that bad!" I yelled as I glanced back into the mirror. She didn't answer my questions or say anything else at all.
Lacy continued to stare at me as if waiting for me to tell her I was joking. "You're going to catch flies in there if you leave it open much longer." I spat at her as my eyes looked over my face in the mirror. The car slowly began to move again and it was a few minutes into our drive before Lacy spoke up again. "Sam, do you have any idea how big of a deal this is?" She asked her eyes didn't look over at me; they stayed focused on the road in front of her. "When I said Liam doesn't do girlfriends I meant he doesn't do girlfriends...dates...any of it. I have known him for years and never once have I ever seen him go on a date."
The rest of the ride was silent. Why did Liam ask me on a date if he didn't date? There was defiantly no shortage of girls throwing themselves at him. I think back to the party and vaguely remember several girls drooling all over him. Was this a cruel joke like in those movies where the extremely good looking guy is dared to take the nerd out? As soon as Lacy stopped the car I hauled myself straight to my room. Liam had made all my self-doubt melt away but now it was coming back in full force and he wasn't there to scare it off. I flopped down on my bed and got lost in all the terrible thoughts now crowding my mind. The soft vibrations from my phone snapped me out of the downward spiral. A smile curled over my lips when I saw the name "Liam" shows up on my screen.
I pressed send before what I had typed had time to register in my head. Oh, god! What if he really did change his mind? I wouldn't be a bit surprised but the thought of it was crushing.
I let out a loud sigh of relief. Even though I myself had thought about cancelling I didn't want to think of how I'd feel if he had changed his mind. God, he was doing weird things to my head! This isn't me. I don't let people in and I don't give them control of me!
