Hey Guys,
I just wanted to say that if you don't like reading this book then don't. Keep your hate comments to yourself. I accept suggestions but no hate. I'm writing this for fun. Any-who, thanks so much to my supporters!
Much love.
I pull up to the restaurant and when I see... What was his name again?...Oh Sterling! He's sitting alone in a booth.
His gray eyes catch me staring and he waves. I walk up to his booth.
" Hey Charlotte how are you?"
" Very well, are you waiting for someone?"
" Yup! She's right there actually", he says pointing behind me.
I turn around to see Ellie, stunningly dressed, walking towards us.
"Charlotte, this is Ellie, she goes to our school."
" Hey Ellie it's nice to meet you" I wink at her before pulling her into a hug,
" Well, I better let you guys enjoy your date!" , I say, leaving before anyone can respond.
I head to the bathroom just to waste time and wash my hands because the truth is that I don't want to be here, while Ellie is having the time of her life, I just sit there and watch her. Plus, wouldn't it be weird if you saw a teenager sitting alone at a restaurant?
Wow, I'm being so selfish, I'm doing this for a friend and she needs me right now.
When I get out of the washroom, I text Ellie, just to see if she is fine.
*how is it going??*
I turn off my phone and head to the entrance because I haven't asked for a table yet.
In the process of walking, I spot a blonde guy ,around my age, in the booth behind Ellie's and he is laughing AT THEM.
I look down at his hand only to find him recording the couple( Well, soon to be)!
This is bad, and it is my duty to make sure that guy doesn't mess up Ellie's date. I slide in his booth and snatch his phone away. I quickly delete the video he took.
" Hey! Give that back!", he snaps
" Nope!"
I stand up to leave but a waitress blocks my way and asks:
" Are you guys ready to order?"
" Yes we are" , the guy responds before I can.
He firmly grabs my waist with one hand and sits me down. When I turn my head to question his actions, I fall deep in his apple green eyes.
" So?", the waitress asks.
"She'll have the Carbonara and I'll have a Caesar salad please", he answers.
The waitress leaves.
" Why did you record them!?"
"Because it was funny", he says
" What was?"
I'm worried.
"Relax, I was just teasing my friend!"
" Sterling is your friend?"
" Yup, same football team."
Oh shit, he knows Will.
" That's nice"
Ew why did I say that.
Awkward silence.
We get our food and eat silently.
I don't like this guy, I know I don't really know him but I get this arrogant vibe from him, by the way he makes an awkward silence look not awkward for him or even just by grabbing his glass of water.
We are not even done eating and I notice Ellie and Sterling walking away.
" Hey! They are leaving, I told Ellie I would keep her company!"
The guy will probably pay for us when I leave so I'll just pay him back now. I grab my purse, take out a 20$ bill and hand it out to the guy.
" Honey, your pasta was so much more than that." He reaches for his pockets, pulls out a 100$ bill and slaps it on the table. He is definitely Arrogant.
What the fuck, does he want to make me feel poor? I mean, no one told me high school kids go to bouji restaurants.
He grabs my wrist and pulls me aggressively out of the booth.
"What are you doing!?", I shout, people start staring.
" You literally just said that you wanted to follow your friend."
Wait... he wants to go with me? He sighs, grabs my hand this time and we head the the movie theatre.
——————-
When we get inside, I spot Ellie on the escalator with Sterling and I panic. I don't even know what movie they are watching!!!
"Hey! Keep an eye on the number of the theatre they get in.", I say to the guy.
Meanwhile, I try to find a way to sneak in.
We walk to the person who checks the tickets.
" Excuse me, I think I left my hat on my seat is it ok if I go check?"
I give my best worried expression to the person.
" Of course, hurry up though!"
The guy and I pass the ticket person.
" Room Nine" , he whispers.
Once we are in our seats, it is still the commercial break, and I hear someone say.
" This is going to be the best horror movie ever!!"
And I don't do horror movies.
