Dream

Chapter 32

   "I think you're super pretty and well....will you go to prom with me?"

        "You're hott....so...prom?

        "Will you go to prom with me...please?"

        "Proooom??"

        "Please....prom? Uh please?"

Aria starred at the 5 guys that surrounded our table blankly. They all were carrying flowers...and chocolate....some had balloons....hoping she'd say yes to one of them. She chewed the end of her pencil and batted her eyes.

        "No...sorry guys." She sighed. They guys all started to whine as they cleared away. Kendrick them emerged and sat with us.

        "What was that all about?" He asked as he began to eat his lunch.

        "Just some guys who wanted to take me to prom." She sighed sadly. Kendrick and I both raised our eyebrows," I really want a date."

        "Then why did you tell all those guys no?" I asked.

        "Because...none of them are the guy...I want to go with." She looked at Kendrick. He hid his face. Something was up. I looked back to Aria.

        "Who do you want to go with? I mean prom is tomorrow...." I sighed as I sat up. She shrugged her shoulders.

        "Just this guy, but...he doesn't like me."

        "That's not true!" Kendrick raised his voice...then lowered it," I'm sure this mystery guy likes you, too." We all became silent. I guess that's when it hit me. Kendrick....and Aria....my last two friends......liked each other. OMG! 

        "Why don't you two go together..." I added. They both looked at me in shock. I just nodded. Why did I just say that? To prove I was over Kendrick...I guess. At least I think I'm over him.

        "What about you?" Aria asked.

        "Ha. I'll be fine." I laughed. They both nodded. Kendrick began to eat his lunch again and Aria continued to chew the end of her pencil again. And I sat there...playing with my thumbs...feeling stupid because I still love Kendrick.

        After we dropped of Aria....Kendrick and I stopped by a McDonald's to get something to eat. I didn't quite know what to say around him anymore. I was scared if I said anything he would realize I still loved him...and I couldn't let that happen. He opened the door and I walked inside. The place was pretty empty. I walked up to the counter and ordered a big mac and that's it. I sat  at a table and waited for Kendrick to join me. He sat down across from me and smiled. I smiled back.

        "You didn't have to do that..." He chuckled.

        "Do what?" I asked.

        "You know...."

        "Oh...I know. I wanted too." I lied.

        "Oh...well thanks...because I really like Aria....I mean I really...really like her. She's cute, funny, oh smart, She's all around perfect." He smiled at the thought of her. I felt so broken inside, but I hid it the best way I could.

        "I know...she's awesome, right-" My voice cracked. He noticed. I played it off," Sorry...my throat as been killing me all week. They need to hurry up with our food." I laughed. He smiled and nodded. We ate our food, then he dropped me off at home. I dashed inside. I was dying inside....Kendrick loved Aria not me....I needed a friend, but I couldn't talk to Aria....or Lez....I had no one. I crawled into bed  and cried....tomorrow was prom..
