Normally Perfect

Chapter 2: Erica's Date

"Hey Mrs. Noble." Sofie says, nudging me. For my friends, a day isn't complete until they tease me about Elliot.

"We are practically family. That's gross." I make a funny face to Sofie but it only lasts a few seconds before we both start laughing.

"C'mon. You have been friends for like your entire life and you'e never had a crush on him?" Sofie is giving me one of those 'stop lying because I know the truth' looks.

"Nope," that was a total lie actually. I had a crush on him for like a year when we started Kindergarten, but I wasn't jut going to tell Sofie that. If I did then they would just tease me more than before (if that's even possible).

"You are such a liar!" Sofie shouts pushing me into a passing locker.

"Not lying," I sing. As I approach my locker I see a very familliar jacket. "Hey, Elli," I whisper on my way to my locker. I expertly spin my combination.

"Sofie, just give it up. You have been teasing us for like 4 years and nothing has happened. Maybe it's time to admit nothing is ever going to happen,"

"Ugh. You are so annoying sometimes." She jokingly rolls her eyes and scoffs.

"You mean when I'm right?" I wink at her which earns me another scoff.
"Just call me the queen of comebacks,"

"Hello, your highness," Elliot says from behind. He must have over heard us. "And her royal subject," he winks at Sofie which makes her blush. Although I don't see him like a crush, I have to admit he's pretty good looking. Even if you don't like him and he winks at you, you blush, that's just how he works.

"Hey, Elliot. How was practice?"

"Harsh. Coach makes us run suicides every practice. Then he makes us do laps around the entire school with a basketball," he makes a gun shape with his hand and pertends to shoot himself.

"Ouch." I say. Sofie makes a quick glance in my direction. One of those glances that scream 'Oh really?'

"Hey guys!" Erica exclaims running up to us. Leave it to Erica to be peppy all the time. She is a cheerleader, afterall. "I have the best news!" Erica starts jumping up and down. No one answers, we just look at Erica with a curious expression. "Patrik just said he would go to the dance with me!!!" Sofie and I freak out while Elliot just stands there like it's no big deal that Erica's life long crush just asked her to the dance.

"Why aren't you excited? Isn't Patrik your 'bro'?" I ask making air quotations around 'bro'.

"I'm just not surprised. I'm the one who told him to ask Erica,"

"SHUT UP. I LOVE YOU!!!" Erica jumps onto Elliot making him back up a few steps to regain his balance. I roll my eyes.

Lisa walks pass them with an annoyed look. Automatically, Sofie spins on her heels and walk away. I don't want her to go, but I don't exactly want them to make a scene, either. "Look at that. Not only does Erica have a date to the dance, but she's hugging my future husband too! What a slut."

Woah there, back up, Lisa. What the heck is she talking about? I thought Sofie JUST confronted her about this last night. Whatever, I don't want her calling me names too. "Just leave it, Lisa. When are you going to ask him to the dance?" I ask with fake excitedness.

"I was just about to but apparently he'd rather hug a slut like Erica." Lisa stomps away leaving me completely confused. Lisa is so weird...all the time. She will be all nice and sweet and funny one day, then the next she is angry, bitter, and cruel.

"What was that all about?" Erica asks. Erica knows perfectly well what Lisa can be like. Lisa and Erica are best friends. More than best friends, actually. They talk alike, move alike, and even look alike. The only difference is, Erica is way more down to Earth and more aware of who her words could affect. If you were new to our school you would think they were twins. You would be mistaken though, they are just 2 best friends who completely depend on each other.

Elliot rolls his eyes and starts walking down the hall. "It's because you were hugging you know who," Erica makes a 'really? That's her excuse?' face.

"I love her to death, but sometimes..."

RINNNNNG.

All great (or not so great) moments must come to an end. Guess I'm off to my next class.
