A Weird Love Story

Chapter 15- Guys Have Problems Too

Ross' P.O.V.-

"What the heck was that?"

"Potato Potato Ching Chong Tomato." Grace replies

I face palm myself and say "No, what does it mean?"

"I don't really know, to be honest." she says

"We just say it when we're happy or excited or bored." Maria adds.

"Okay then!" I respond just a little bit weirded out.

"Soooooo... HOW DID IT GO?!" Maria asks with sparkling eyes.

Grace pauses for a moment before answering, "HE KISSED ME!"

"Wait really? He kissed you on a first date? Guys don't really do that." I explain with a look of disbelief. Grace seems sad, so I smile and say, "He must really like you." her eyes light up and she starts jumping up and down, squealing, and I finish, "You are very lucky." then she takes Maria's hands and she jumps with her.

Colin's P.O.V.-

That was the best date I have ever had! Not that I've had many, but still! I think she really likes me. I know that I really like her! She's so funny and also really weird, but I like that about her. I'm sad that she didn't say anything about the kiss though. She might hate me! Why the hell would I kiss her on a first date?! Stupid! Wait, no. She was smiling, but it could have been a fake smile just to make me feel better! Should I call her? I miss her already. Maybe I'll tell her that or maybe I should text her... yeah, I'll text her

~start of text convo.~

C- "Hi!"

G- "Hey!"

C- "Today was fun!"

G- "Yeah, definatly. We should hang out again soon!" Yes! mental high five!

C- "Sounds cool! Just wanted to say that you are so sweet and kind! I miss you already."

G- "Awwww! Same to you! Btw, when should we get together?"

C- I'm free everyday but I don't respond for a minute. "How 'bout Monday?"

G- "Perfect! Gtg, I have 2 go 2 the mall!

C- "Okay, bye!😘"

G- "😘"

~end of text convo.~

I think she does like me!

Ryland's P.O.V.-

During this whole movie all I have been able to think about is Grace...and her date. I hope it went terrible. No, that's mean. I nearly fall asleep, but then Rocky laughs so hard it's impossible to stay awake. This movie seems to last forever but then it ends and we are leaving the movie theater when we see Ross in the distance with Maria. AND GRACE? The movie theater is connected to the mall and he texted me saying he was coming here but not with her! I don't know what to do. Should I hide? Or should I just go up to her and try to be friends? I would be a coward if I left.I'll just pass her by and hope for the best. "Riker, I forgot I needed to get something from the mall so I'll catch up with you guys at home."

He looks at me with his eyes squinted, trying to see if I am lying. "Okay buddy, just don't take too long."

"I won't. I promise." I start walking backwards until he turns away from me and keeps talking about the movie with Rydel and Rocky.

As I'm turning around to walk normal again, I bump into someone and we both fall to the ground with their shopping bags spilled out so I help pick them up. "Oh my gosh. I am so sorry! I wasn't paying attention to where I was going! I-"

"Ryland, it's totally ok! I wasn't watching to where I was going either." I look up and see Grace standing there smiling at me and I was speechless. She looked so pretty even in the weird overalls she was wearing. "I-I have to go." I point behind me not taking my eyes off of her and her smile fades. "Oh. At least walk with us for a little bit." she gestures her hands to the side for me to walk next to her.

"I really shouldn't, I'm sorry." And with that I turn around and leave, not looking behind.
