08. Never Been Kissed

I went home and to my surprise Hilarry was there. Let me rephrase; Hilarry was sitting with my brother on the couch eating his face off. I gasped and they both pulled off of each other.

"I KNEW IT!" I yelled, I had always had suspicions about the two of them and this just confirmed it.

"I don't even know what to say" Dylan sighed in defeat.

"Are you dating?" I asked.

"Yes..." They both said in unison, pausing at the end.

"How long?"

They both grimaced before Dylan answered. "4 months"

"4 MONTHS?!" I yelled in surprise. I didn't really expect this. I thought they liked each other but I never thought they would have dated.

"Don't be mad" He pleaded.

"Im not. Im just shocked" I said, plopping myself on the couch.

"We're really sorry we didn't tell you earlier" Hilarry said in a sympathetic voice.

"It's fine. Really" I smiled making them look at ease.

"Soooo hows your love life?" Hilarry asked, changing the subject.

"Ugh. So y'know that kid I like?" I asked making them nod. "Well I've tried to make it very clear that I like him and im almost positive he likes me but he won't ask me out" I sighed.

"So? Ask him out. I did that with your brother" Hilarry said, making Dylan become embarrassed.

"I wanna meet him" Dylan said and my eyes widened.

"Me too!" Hilarry clapped.

"No no no. He would literally faint or have an asthma attack. He's too anxious" I said.

"Well you can't date him if I don't meet him" Dylan said smugly.

"Pshh like that'll stop me" I laughed and he frowned.

"C'mon! I need to approve! You're lucky im okay with this!" Dylan said.

"Maybe once we're actually dating...if that ever happens" I said.

"It'll happen. Trust me" Hilarry smiled.

I woke up with a start. I've been having bad dreams ever since I saw that clown. The sheets were practically stuck to me and my skin had a thin layer of sweat over it. I got up and walked into the kitchen, Dylan was already gone. He was out with his friends so I was currently home alone. I heard a knock at the door and answered. I was wearing a baggy shirt and shorts, my hair was all over the place and I has bags under my eyes. I opened it and saw Eddie, my eyes widened as I realized what I was wearing.

"Eddie! What are you doing here?" I said, obviously embarrassed.

"H-hey we're gonna go to the park today and I told Beverly I would go for you. So you could sleep in and stuff.." He said, looking at the floor. It was very obvious that I made him nervous.

"Oh! Well thanks. Hold on, I need to get dressed. I look awful, I just woke up" I said, ushering him in.

"No you don't! You look beautiful, you always do" He said quickly, but I understood every word.

"Thanks" I smiled, turning red. "I'll be right back. Just let me change" I said and he nodded.

I went to my room and settled on a plain grey T-shirt, it was very loose at the bottom and I partnered it with black high-waisted shorts. I tucked the shirt in and put on a black belt and black knee-high socks. I finished it off with my black and white converse and put my hair in a sloppy bun. I looked awful but I was in a rush and im sure my friends won't mind. I walked out and Eddie smiled at me before a slight blush spread out onto his cheeks.
