ale- i mean, kenzie ziegler.

"oh.. um, i mean, what?" i tried to play it cool. i guess it wasn't working because he gave me an unimpressed look.

"listen, ziegler. you already fucked up so you might as well tell me why you have my phone number, right?" johnny said, shrugging his shoulders. damn, those muscles..

"thank you professor orlando for that inspiring pep talk," i answered sarcastically, tucking a strand of loose hair behind my ear.

"hey!"

"who's your girlfriend?" i immediately asked, eager to change the topic.

"first of all, don't change the topic. second of all, who the heck told you i had a girlfriend?!" he said, sounding a bit panicked.

"matthew did," i replied. well, it wasn't a lie . . .

"matthew?" johnny repeated, his eyebrows scrunching together cutely in confusion. "i don't know a matthew."

i smirked.

"well.." i drawled. "apparently, i, the great and amazing mackenzie ziegler, 'fucked up' because i had the dorky, nerdy, loser's phone number. but, the dorky, nerdy, loser also 'fucked up' because he told me that he had a girlfriend!"

matthe- johnny paled. i smirked to myself and gave a triumphant smile. 1 - 0, to mackenzie !!

"i-i.. uh," he stammered. i raised an eyebrow, my turn to look unimpressed. "well looks like that plan with hayden is going out the window then." he muttered, more to himself than me.

"hayden?" i inquired, curious.

"yeah. he's my best friend. we had a plan to get one of our friends to fake date me and i had to buy him chipotle for a week but now since you found out i don't have to do that aaaaannnddddddd i should stop talking now," he ended, slightly embarrassed.

"oh wow."

"um, see you around then, alex?" matthew muttered after a very, very long awkward silence.

"yeah," i muttered awkwardly. "don't forget to text me and um, organise a date for the rose café, if you're still interested."

i started blushing like krayzee! i could not believe i just did that! did i seriously ask matthew.. uh, gilman out !!

"yeahh, suree," he smiled, looking relieved that he didn't have to ask, and i did it for him. bloody hell, looks like i'm going to be asking him out, not him.

i waved at him as he moonwalked away.
