the fifteenth

monday - 8:05 p.m.

here is a recap of tonight's events.

nick: you up for some pizza?

me: how'd you know?

nick: because i know you.

me: you're the cutest thing.

nick: you're a liar.

nick: cause you're way cuter.

me: stop it!!!

nick: hahaha! i'll pick you up in 10 :)

nick took me, well us (poppy tagged along), to the pizza parlor across school. the one you and i used to go to all the time.

nick didn't come here often so i ordered, the usual; pepperoni with extra cheese and a rootbeer float. i got poppy her own mini cheese pizza too.

when the food arrived so did you. you didn't notice that we were there because you were with cassidy holden. i know because she's in my english class. i was the only one who noticed you come in which was good because poppy would've ran right up to you.

i mean c'mon, she loves you.

i came in craving for pizza but by then all i was craving for was an answer.

why the hell were you with cassidy holden?

i shook off the thought because i knew it would ruin my night. i should be looking at nick who's right in front of me and not peeping behind to see you.

the rest of the night was... tolerable, until poppy caught sight of you just as we were about to leave.

"eli!!!" she ran as fast as she could towards your table.

you picked her up and swung her around just like you used to and in that moment all i could see was the way we used to be.

"poppy! how are you, you mini cutie?" you set her down and tapped her lightly on the nose.

"i miss you. i don't have anyone to play bakery with anymore!" she fake pouted.

"i miss you too, popsie! i especially miss your mini cinnamon rolls." you joked and she giggled.

nick and i started walking towards your table. you stood up to greet nick with a high five.

"hey aide." you said. i just smiled.

"poppy, we gotta go. it's getting late." i say and hold poppy's hand gesturing for us to leave.

"aww, okay." she sighs.

"come over soon okay, eli?" poppy says to you just before giving you a hug.

"sure poppy. i'll see you soon!" you give her a big smile.

i glanced at cassidy just before leaving and she smiled at me. i smiled back of course. she's such a nice girl, eli.

don't break her heart like you broke mine.

don't make her hate you like i hate you.
