5 - Not A Date

chapter five!
Not A Date

Karissa's POV

I was waiting outside for Hannah to pull up outside of my house. Unlike the day before, I wasn't late this time. As soon as Hannah pulled up, I stood up and walked over to her car, getting in the passenger.

"We need to talk," Hannah said as soon as I got in the car.

"Hello to you too?" I said in a question.

"Zach Herron will literally ruin your life. You need to stop flirting with him," Hannah said as she started driving to school.

"Flirting? What the hell?" I asked.

"I called Jessica Hartley yesterday and we talked for an hour. He ruined her life," Hannah said.

Jessica Hartley was a girl that had gone to our school the previous year before moving for some mysterious reason. Zach must've been that reason.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"Jess and Zach got high one night and Jess's dad caught them. They moved away the next week. After that, he broke up with her. She also found out that he had been sleeping with other girls when they were together. You'll go through hell if you continue to flirt with him," Hannah explained.

"Jess made her own decision to get high, I bet you he didn't force it on her. Also, did she catch him sleeping with other girls? Or was it just a rumor?" I asked.

Hannah went silent, her mouth formed a thin line. Suddenly, I realized what I was doing.

"I don't know why I'm defending him! I'm not even flirting with him," I shook my head.

"Just be careful, Riss," Hannah said.

"I always am," I assured her. It wasn't much longer till Hannah pulled up to the school. Since we got there kind of early today, we made it in time to meet Damion outside. When Damion caught sight of us, he smiled. We walked up to him and all said good morning.

"We should all do something together this weekend," Damion suggested.

"I wish I could but my dad is going to take me to the college he went to and give me a tour," Hannah said.

"Are you applying to that college?" I asked.

"No, but he still wants to show me where he spent 'some of the best years of his life', to quote him exactly," Hannah rolled her eyes.

"Guess that leaves you and me, Riss. You down to hang this weekend?" Damion asked me, giving me his famous smile.

I could feel Hannah nudge me in the ribs. Apparently, she was still waiting for that ship to sail.

"Yeah, sure," I nodded.

"Sweet, I'll text you details once I figure out something," Damion smiled at me. The first bell rang out, everyone started going to their lockers to put their stuff away.

"Looks like that's our cue. I'll see you in first, Riss. And I'll see you at lunch, Hannah," Damion nodded before walking away from us. This gave Hannah and I a chance to talk.

"Oh, he so likes you," Hannah teased me, "He basically just asked you on a date."

"No, he asked both of us to hangout but then you couldn't go. It's not a date," I shook my head.

"Whatever you say," Hannah winked at me. All I could do was roll my eyes.
