The Thin Line Between Love & Hate

Chapter 3: Bonding Time

*Alysia*

I sighed happily, bonding time. Well as much bonding you can get with those two making goo-goo eyes but nonetheless! Bonding time. Renee and Caden chose the movie tonight. The Notebook, which makes me wonder...

Renee was smiling quite evilly.

*Renee-5 min ago*

As Alysia went on her bathroom break Caden and I were supposed to choose a movie.

I glared at him. He wasn't budging. I wanted to see this movie!

"The Notebook!"

"Paranormal activity!"

"The Notebook!"

"Paranormal Activity"

"No touching me then!" I smiled, "For a month"

"Para--Wait what!"

"You heard me! Choose wisely" I smiled evilly. He looked torn. Then huffed in defeat.

"Go make me some popcorn now!" I demanded. I watched him walk away to get me some popcorn. Like a boss. Ha!

*Present*

Alysia came back and I smiled, "We agreed on The Notebook"

Caden walked in grumpy. I smirked happily. She looked suspicious, so I shot her an innocent look.

I walked over to Caden and kissed him. He was just too adorable. I flashed him my pearly whites and plopped on the couch. We need to find someone for Alysia. I think, I just might know someone. I smiled deviously as I thought of a plan.

*Alysia*

I'm getting a bit worried. Renee keeps looking at me. Why? I glared at her

Tell me you itch! My eye twitched.

"Why do you keep looking at me!" I demanded.

She blushed, "Wha- what! Don't be so conceited!" I huffed.

"Fine" At that I turned to bawl my eyes out at the ending of the movie. So sad! Mmm..cookie!

I hopped out of my seat to grab a cookie from my delicious stash. I peered around me carefully before grabbing it and shoveling them into my mouth.

"Mmmmmm" Yum. Cookies are so good. I should marry a cookie, but then I can't eat him or else I'll go to jail! Hm, or I could.. Nah! I'll just eat them. They're too good. I put them back, looking around carefully to see if anyone saw and scurried along.

"Hay guys!" I chirped. They looked at me strangely. I poked my tongue at them and plopped my body onto the couch.

****************************************************************************************************************

I woke up the next morning. Oh yeah, its sunday! Ice- cream special today!

I ran over to Renee and Caden and jumped on them.

"Guys!" I grinned, "Ice cream!!"

They jumped up and rushed to get ready. I did the same. We hopped in the car and headed straight to Penny's ice cream. On sundays they sold ice cream for a penny. Heavenly.

Renee turned to us, "Hey guys there's a carnival tonight, want to go?" She gave us the puppy dog face.

"Sure, I wanted to go anyways" I said grinning while eating my delicious ice cream.

"Caden!"

"Yeah?" He asked curiously.

"Leave!" Renee demanded, "It's girls day remember?"

She then turned and called Danielle, Mary and Christina. She told them to meet us at the mall.

****************************************************************************************************************

"Hey guys!" They said a chorus of hello's. Shopping time.

"Oh yeah, we need to get a dress to go to Homecoming!" Renee gushed.

"Oh yeah!" I said and slapped my forehead. How did I forget? Should I take a date..

We headed straight into the dress store I browsed around the store and then I laid my eyes on it.I was a little black dress one sleeve. It was beautiful. I stared in awe. I ran over to it and took it carefully. I checked the size. Perfect fit. I smiled widely. I went to the dressing room I had to see how it looked.

Wow. I love it. The girls called me out so they could see it themselves. I came out shyly. They look stunned.

"Wow-"

"You look--"

"Wow"

"Amazing!" They all finished. They were grinning at me.

Renee sauntered up to me and put her arm over my shoulder, "Baby if I were a boy i'd want to tap that"

"You know, I'm thinking of trying to take a hit off that anyways.." She smirked at me. I blushed and rushed back into the changing room. Once more admiring the dress. I walked up to the register and said excitedly, "I'll take it!"

"Ma'am did you cancel this card?" She peered at me. Shit! I smacked my head.

"Oh shit yeah!"

"Nevermind I guess i'll have to leave it" I muttered sadly.

"Wait" A voice said, "Here take my card"

I looked up at this strange boy with grey eyes and brown hair. I've seen him around campus before. He's kind of cute..

"I'll pay for it gorgeous" He smiled, "Hi, I'm Liam"

"I'm Alysia, and this is nice of you but I can--"

"You can let me buy it for you and you can owe me something.." He trailed off smiling.

"Oh? Like what?" I asked curiously. What could he possibly want.

"To see you again?" He grinned at me.

Hmmm... Should I?

"Alright fine" I said, " But thank you so much, I really wanted this dress!"

"Homecoming?" He asked looking curious.

"Yeah" I smiled brighly at him.

"Who's the lucky guy..?"

"I don't have a date yet" I blushed.

He simply smiled at me and offered to take my bags. I politely said no seeing as I was still with friends but we exchanged numbers.

"I'll see you at school, yeah?"

"Definitely" I grinned.

Renee looked at me with wide eyes and soon we all started squealing. I blushed as I thought about it. This was a successful shopping trip.
