Chapter 25: It Was a Date

**Belle**
"It wasn't a date." Tabby folds her arms and sticks her nose in the air.
I laugh, "it so was! I saw you two on snap chat, adorable."
"No no no. It was just a um, us hanging out!" She protests.
"Oh really. You two hanging out alone, at 8 pm, eating pizza, and him buying and I quote! Whatever you want darling." I raise an eyebrow. I will get her to admit that it was date, then I'll get her to tell me how it went, and lastly, she will admit that she likes him.
"Okay so Kyle and I had pizza, and went to the mall. Big deal! We do that all the time."
"That's where you're wrong, we get Chinese and go shopping! Now it say it was a date!" I slam my hand on the table.
The guys are looking at us like we've lost it.
Also I just realized that Kyle is here. Oh well.
Tabby dying from laughter, "okay okay! So it was a date, BIG DEAL." Everyone cheers and bangs the table. We all get in trouble for being to loud.
"How was it? Did you fuck?" Luke asks.
"Jesus, Luke." Justin says.
Luke looks legitimately confused.
I laugh, "did he treat you like the princess you are my dear?" I ask her.
"He actually did." She says pretending to put on a crown. "No but really it was fun, I had a great time." She says looking at Kyle.
Kyle has actually been looking at her the entire time. If you could see his face, its the face you want the love of your life to look at you all the time, everyday. Its so cute I think I'm going to fall over.
"And I would do it all again any day." He says to her.
Tabby blushes and looks away quickly with a small smile on her face.
"Awwww." The table coos.
"Okay enough." Kyle says.
"So Belle Pepper, I hear you got us free passes to Kevin's party this weekend, nice job kiddo." Luke gives me a 'round of applause.
"Wait, Kevin?" Damien asks. He looks at Justin who seems to be in his own head at the moment.
"Is it the Kevin that's looking over here right now?" Tabby points.
We all turn, except Justin, to see Kevin watching us.
"Creepy." Kyle says.
"Very." I agree.
"Bro, Justin, you're killing your burrito." Damien points out.
Justin blinks and looks at his hand that is covered in cheese, beans, and meat.
"Shit. I was gonna eat that." He wipes his hand in 6 napkins.
"So no party this weekend?" Kyle claps his hands together.
"Nope." Damien answers.
"Why not?" Justin asks.
"Why not??" Kyle gestures towards the burrito.
"Dude, you and Kevin, are like TNT trapped in a small box." Damien visualizes. "You can not be in the same room with that guy considering.." his eyes flick to me, "it won't work."
"I'll be fine. It will be fine. We're going." Justin says.
Kyle shakes his head.

"Are you mad, because I'm mad." Tabby says to me in history.
We are currently watching a movie because state testing is tomorrow and there is nothing left to do in this class.
"Yes and no. Yes because I'm bothered that Justin is keeping things from me or all the guys for that matter. Like, Damien says something, looks at me then Justin says something like its fine. What is fine?" I say to her.
"Preach sister."
"And no because he said he will tell me and trust his word. Also, its not like we are dating so he doesn't really have to tell me anything." I shrug.
"I wouldn't even care if it wasn't about you. But it is." She says.
I groan, "I know. That's why it bothers me so much. If it has to do with me, I should get to know what is going on right?"
"Um yes!"
"Are you two gonna keep talking? If so take it to the halls." Jessica Ferosi puts herself in our conversation.
She's honestly just mad because she was at the table when Justin and I came. And he told her to leave in front of everyone.
"Fuck off Ferosi." Tabby says.
"I heard you two, who's not dating who?" She questions.
"None of your business." Tabby answers.
"Oh but it is. You were talking aloud in a classroom full of people, whatever you say is everyone's business." She folds her arms.
"That's complete bull crap and you know it. If your name wasn't mentioned what I say is none of your concern so turn around." Tabby is getting very heated.
"Belle Ramirez. I heard you got invited to Kevin's party this weekend, and you are bringing your friends," she looks at Tabby who smiles at her, "I guess I'll see you there." She rolls her eyes at me and leaves the classroom at the sound of the bell.
"Such a bitch. Now we really have to go to that party." Tabby says.

I'm not gonna make it.
I'm, I'm too tired.
Falls.
That is me trying to type the last page to my term paper.
I'm exhausted but of course I push through and add the last period to the last sentence.
"Yes!" I throw my hands in the air.
I do my citations and close my laptop after I save the paper to three different folders, and email a copy to my teacher.
I fall back on my bed and look at the ceiling. I turn my head to the side and see my large, green, algebra text book staring at me.
I groan and roll over, "tomorrow." I close my eyes.
I'm asleep for what felt like 10 minutes but what was really 3 hours.
When I wake up its 10:00 pm.
Oh thank goodness.
I stand up and stretch and head to the bathroom to take a shower.
I open my door to see Justin's door open slightly. I walk over to it and stick my head in.
I push the door all the way open, he went out through the window.
