The Secret Life of Chloe Lyons #WATTYS2015

Chloe's House - August 15th - 6:00 P.M.

This is the first time. Like ever that I don't know what to do!

I walk back and forth, pacing around my room.

It's already 6:00 and I still don't have a plan to what's going to happen tonight. I stop pacing and look at my closet mirror. I actually look pretty okay in my opinion. My long locks are perfectly curled and the beanie Carter gave to me the day i met him placed on top, complementing my "Cool Story Bro" Croc Top. And with my dark washed Hollister skinny jeans and my read Converse, I'm ready to go.

But where am I going? I can't help thinking.

I can either go to the movies with hottie Carter and grab pizza later. Or I can go to the skating rink with control freak Joe, who is also hot, but also is Emma's boyfriend!

What's with the sudden popularity? I laugh for the first time today.

Ping! I hear my phone beep a text!

Carter: Can't wait for later. Everyone's thinking of seeing Frozen? What do you think?

I just stood there, smiling and reading the text. I think it's pretty clear who I should go with. Going to the skate rink would mean it'd be going with Joe. And going with Joe would be wrong to the tenth power, considering the fact that Emma's his girlfriend, but he also likes me, so he would would be cheating on her and Emma would hate me forever and all of this stuff would be my fault! Who cares what Joe would do if I don't show up? I'm going to the movies with Carter. Who I like.

And with that, I grab my shoulder purse bag, whatever it is! I grab it and walk downstairs. As I'm walking down the stairs, I hear murmuring. I walk closer down the stairs and see.... Carter? Omg.

I look at my phone and see that it's 8:00 and there's a text saying "I'm here".

My cheeks suddenly feel hot and I get butterflies in my stomach, as I walk down the stairs.

Carter is wearing yet another different beanie and a black jacket, his grey eyes gleaming as he talks to my mother and father. They're in the kitchen, laughing.

I walk into the kitchen to see what the buzz is about. The Butterflies in my stomach feeling more like a tsunami.

"Ah! There she is!" My mother exclaims. Her brown eyes jumping with joy.

Carter smiles. "Hey". He says wrapping his arms around my waist.

His smile just lit up my entire body like a jack-o-lantern on a gloomy, Halloween night.

"Hey!" I say, a little too excited. I look up at the different beanie and see that we are wearing the same one.

As if he read my mind, we both start to crack up.

My parents give us confused looks.

My dad clears his throat. "It was very nice meeting you, Carter." Then he looks at me. "Don't be out too late."

"Dad!" I screech, giving a look of apology to Carter.

He looks down at me and grins, grabbing my waist a bit tighter.

"Don't worry Mr. Lyons. I'll have Chlo back as soon as the movies over!

"Good boy." My dad smiles. "Now go! Have fun!" He shoes us away out to the front door, leaving me and Carter outside.

"Bye! Love you too!" I yell, hearing the front door lock.

So, here we go. My first date, ever. I smile, walking to the long van in my driveway.

Carter comes from behind me, wrapping his arm around me again. Our two matching black beanies are gleaning as the moons hitting them, just like his eyes.

"Ready?" He grins, leading us towards the van.

I nod my head slowly.

I'm ready, for the first time all today, to be ready.

I'm ready to have fun!
