Mr. Prince Perfect

(21) Just Say "Yes"

“How did you spend your Valentine’s day afternoon, Emma?” Ally asked on Monday.

 

I didn’t want to tell Ally anything about seeing Ross and sharing a kiss with him. She was probably never let the subject drop. Or worse, go around school, screaming that I, the book nerd, was in love with a real boy. Embarrassing I know.

 

“I finished another book” I smiled  widely at her.

 

“Of course you did” she rolled her eyes at me. “When are you gonna learn to use your time wisely?” she asked.

 

“Define using time wisely” I joked.

 

“As in trying to get in your first serious relationship” Ally answered in a duh-factor manner.

 

“Well, geez thanks for the tip” I said sarcastically.

“Emma, today we aren’t going to work in the cafe today” Ally said when we were on our lunch break.

 

“Why not?” I frowned.

 

“I told Mr. Lee that we had that cheerleading routine to do for the big soccer game tonight” she said. “Don’t tell me you forgot” she frowned.

 

“Of course I didn’t” I scoffed at her remark. In reality I totally forgot. In fact, was that ever mentioned in our school?

 

Wait… the soccer game? That meant… Ross… wow life.

 

“You forgot” Ally statemented rolling her eyes again at me. I swear if she kept doing that anymore today, her eyes were gonna get stuck at the back of her head.

 

“No! I just had an author’s block” I tried to come up with something clever as an excuse.

 

“Author’s block? But you don’t write stories you read them!” “We aren’t even talking about books!” Ally gave a loud sigh looking at the ceiling in disbelief.

 

I smiled at her, while she didn’t look. “Calm your mouth, Ally! I got it. Soccer game and cheerleading tonight” “Here?” I asked to make sure.

 

“Yes, at the field” she rolled her eyes again!

 

“Okay” I nodded.

 

“Emma!”my name was being called to my attention.

 

I smiled immediately as soon as I saw it was Ross who called for my attention.
