The One

Chapter 20: Lifeless bitches.

Alyssa's P.O.V

"Hey guys."

Before anything else could be said, Shannon was all over me. Just like I expected.

"So how was the double date? Tell me everything."

I rolled my eyes and answered blankly. "Oh I slept fine, thanks for asking."

"Fine, how are you Alyssa?"

"I'm feeling great."

Rowan snickered. "Of course you are." I understood what she was trying to imply, but I pretended not to hear. Truth is I really was feeling great. I don't know why, but maybe it's because I slept happy... so I woke up... happy?

Yeah... I woke up like this.

"Have you told her anything?" I asked instead.

"Everything."

"That anxious?" I teased.

She scoffed. "Please, it was either that or no ride. She basically blackmailed me."

"Figures. I'd like to see how you'll blackmail me." I said, now facing Shannon.

The blonde shook her head. "I didn't blackmail Rowan, it was purely normal interaction between two friends."

"Well then, whatever Ro said is exactly what happened yesterday. She did tell you everything, right?"

"Wrong. I want the whole date in your perspective." she pressed.

"That's very demanding. Okay let's see... Cameron came to my house to pick me up, we drove to the movies together, we walked in together... literally. Then when we found Rowan, we both went to get snacks while Jordan and Cameron picked the movie which was Fast and Furious 8. We watched the movie, and after the movie Cameron took me home and I told him goodnight. El finito."

"That wasn't very detailed." she pointed out.

"It'll have to do. I suck at remembering stuff."

"Like you conveniently forgot the holding hands part?" she asked, smirking.

I whipped around. "Rowan, you betrayer!"

"Don't be a drama queen, that's Shannon's thing. And in my defence I did say I told her everything."

"How on earth did that part even enter the story?" I inquired.

She waved me off. "Forget that, why is he coming over here?"

"Who?" asked Shannon.

For a split second I thought it was Cameron, and my heart beat rate began to pick up. Until I turned around and saw it was Darren. Why is he coming anyways?

"Hey ladies."

Rowan crossed her arms. "Do you not know our names now? If I remember correctly you were the one who asked for them that day."

"Of course I know. Alyssa and Rowan right?"

"Good. Use them." Then she was leaving.

Now what was that about?

"Sorry Alyssa, can I talk to Shannon for some minutes?" he asked, politely giving me the hint to get lost. But I decided to wait it out.

"Yeah, go on." I shrugged indifferently.

"Alone please." he pressed, aware that I was doing it to tease him.

I chuckled, closing my locker. "Thought you'd never ask. If you didn't, I would've stayed."
