BLAKE:

A week has passed since Lily and I got in a fight at Taco Time. We still haven't spoken. Ever since her and Jerry went on a date, I've pretty much just blocked her out of my life. I don't know really know why. I guess I'm just jealous because she wouldn't go on a date with me, but she went on a date with him. But then again they only went on one date and they haven't spoken since.

I don't know what happened, but Lily has been pretty lonely since. I miss hanging out with her, but I'm don't know if I should try and talk to her or not. I mean the last time we hung out, it didn't go so well...

~~~

Schools over for the week and there's only one more week of school before spring break! As I'm walking down to the guy hangout who stops me but, Lily.

"Hey, Blake I haven't seen you in a while," she says acting like nothing ever happened.

"Um, ya. How've you been?"

"Ehhhh, it's not been the same since you know..."

"What?" I ask confused why she's even talking to me.

"Since that whole incedent at Taco Bell."

"Oh ya, sorry bout that," I say feeling guilty.

"It's in the past, I guess I just missing hanging out with you," she says.

"Ya, me too. I've just been so busy lately," I lie.

"Well, I just wanted to make sure we were on good terms and stuff."

"Ya, okay. Well, I got to go, maybe see you around?"

"Ya sure."

I watch as she walks away wishing I had the heart to tell her how I felt about her and how much I've missed hanging out with her, even if we were just friends. But I just can't handle having my heart stomped on.

LILY:

I'm not really sure what I was gonna say. I mean, I don't even know how I feel about him, but I can't handle not speaking to him. I guess I just had to make sure we were okay. But I'm still not satisfied. I know that when he asked me out on a date I kinda hurt him by saying no, but I honestly wasn't ready. Am I ready now? Ready for what? Ready to actually be in a relationship. Or are we really just meant to be friends? There's only one way to find out...

I whip around and hurry to catch up to Blake.

I walk beside him for a minute before he says, "do you need something?"

"No, um," I say, "yes actually I do."

"Okay... what?"

"Um, I don't really know how to ask this. I know that I told you I wasn't really ready to be in a relationship... but um, if you're willing to give me another chance... um, will you go out with me? And this isn't a dare or anything," I say as awkwardly as ever.

"I thought you just wanted to be friends."

"I thought I did. But now I realize that we can't be just friends. I can't be just friends with you. I don't know how to explain it."

"I know what you mean. And I guess we can try being together, but only if you pay for the first date!" he replies laughing.

"Okay sure!"
