For Some Reason

Date Planner

I wake up the moment my alarm went off, straight at 7 am. I yawned, still tired, but what can I do? It's Wednesday and I have early routine in Wednesdays. I open my closet, grab my plain grey tee and red jacket. I went to the bed room and took a shower. After that, I get dressed, wearing the jeans hanging in the bathroom door and went outside and grabbed my bag. I combed my hair with my hand slightly in the mirror and when I'm confident enough, I went out.

      Two, three steps away from my dorm, a big, built body appeared next to me, his bicep pressing into my side. I glance up to him, knowing exactly it's Aaron. I throw a confused look.

      "Come with me." He said while looking anywhere but me. He look nervous, like he doesn't want to be seen by someone, or expecting to see that someone first.

      "No. I have a class, and I don't want to miss it." I said firmly, crossing my arms across my stomach, pushing back at him slightly who is trying to push me into some other direction.

      "What kind of people choose a class this early? And I doubt it that the class is important." He said, finally look down on me, looking stubborn and serious.

      "My kind do, and yes, it is important. At least, more important than your problem is." I said and he whined, annoyed and I just chuckle.

      "Just come here." He said and grabbed my left arm, for your information, he's strong. Now, I can't fight him. He pull me into small alley and let me go, I growled at annoyance.

      "What Aaron? What's so important!?" I exclaimed angrily. Looking whether furious, judging by the way Aaron look at me, faked scared.

      "Wow, chill. That time of the month?" He asked and I kicked him in the leg, not so hard, but hard enough that I'm not in the mood for his ridiculous joke. "Alright, alright, help me plan a great date for tonight with Lola?"

      It have been three weeks since we met Lola, and they had already see each other like every night, everyday. Well, it's still probably just in that 'just friends' phase. It probably will just change tonight.

      "What? You're making me late for my class for this?" I exclaimed, sighing, gulping back my anger. "So, the great Aaron  Green is asking my help to plan a date?" I asked, pointed out the sarcasm. He just nod slightly, looking at me with his pleading, puppy dog eyes. I rolled my eyes. "Gosh, please, I need my grade to be perfect, and skipping a class is not on the list to reach that."

      "Please, Kenny?" He pleaded, begging with his slightly bulging, puppy eyes. I groaned, those eyes are just ... something about them just make me can't say no.

      "Ugh, fine, whatever." I said, rolling my eyes and he yelled a childish, happy 'yes' and dragged me into an empty canteen and sat down in an empty seat.

      "So, we're going to meet at the Comic store next to the stadium and-" He said but I cut him off.

      "Wait, wait, you're taking her into a 'stadium date'?," Stadium date is a situation where Aaron take someone on a date to play sports, like basketball or running or bowling. It's becoming his thing. "You can't do that over and over, Aaron."

      "Then what else should I do?" He asked, looking at me with curious look.

      "Do something else! If tonight is a special night, make it special. Don't make it the same like any other girls." I exclaimed. He grimaced at the words 'any other girl' but I ignore it, he need to learn from his past.

      "Geez, I don't know! What would you want to do to have a special night?" He asked and I sighed.

      "Me and Lola is totally not a same type of girl, I would want to receive a New Balance sneakers she would want a cute pink neon heels." I said and he nodded, understanding, taking big gulps of lemon tea he just bought.

      "Good point, a little hint, Kylie likes to eat at a elegant restaurant, not cheap but not too expensive, but still classy, she likes to chat, I mean, she's not really into watching movies, because, you know, she like to share her stories." He explained.

      "Wait, who's Kylie?" I asked noticing he just let that name slip. Oh, please don't tell me she's a new girl he just met and secretly chatting with.

      "Wha- who- what!?" He exclaimed and he sure is sounded nervous. "No! Who's Kylie? I-I don't know who Kylie is." He said and I'm about to open my mouth to protest, but he don't give me any chance. "Seriously! Who the hell said Kylie!? Maybe it's you! Maybe you start hearing things!"

      "What!? No!" I exclaimed, surprised he would explode like that. "Alright, yes! You said nothing, there's no Kylie mentioned!" I said, a little irritated.

      "Alright, then, what should I do?" He asked and I think for a while, then an idea hit me. There's a restaurant, something called Loewe or something, it's located next to a river, like half a mile away, and it is beautiful. And the weather is not so cold and not so warm, perfect for an outdoor dinner.

Moments later, we still talking, debating about what he'll do, what he should get her and how he would make it official. But then somebody yelled my name from the doorway. I look up, it was Mr. Henry, my philosophy lecture, the class that I should attended earlier this morning.

      "Yes, Mr. Henry?" I asked, lowering my voice, trying to hide my face.

      "Weren't you supposed to be in my class this morning?" He asked sternly, walking toward my table, I gulped.

      "I-I was at your class this morning." I said nervously, kicking Aaron's leg under the table, begging for him to help me.

      "Really? I didn't see you." He said, arm crossed, an eyebrow raised.

      "I was sitting in the corner, Sir." I said, and he sighed.

      "Lying just make it worst, Kennedy. Go find Jason," His favorite student in class, "And asked him for the assignment I gave and done it by Friday." He said and I nodded. He made his way out, I was about to whine about how it was all Aaron's fault to Aaron, but then he stop in his track and yelled. "Now, Bennett." He spat

      I quickly stand up, knocking my knee into the table, yelping slightly, I murmured under my breath, "I hate you, Aaron."

      "You know, you love me so much that you would do anything for me!" He yelled as I jogged to the door.

      "Yeah, sure I do."
