Red Kingdom Diaries

Chapter 9: Success

I didn't know what would happen when I told Spades the truth. I could've ruined everything that I was working hard to create. I didn't even care about that anymore. I could play spy anytime, but I needed my friend.  

I asked spades if she wanted to hang out on the upcoming Wednesday. She said that it depends on if she gets the car or not. I was in dire need of face to face girl time. We needed to figure this out together. I was free on Wednesdays so I had to wait for her schedule to be clear.

On Wednesday,  I woke up around 1pm and texted Spades to see if our plans were on. While I waited, I got dressed and put my phone back on the charger. After about 10 minutes I get a call from Spades. I answer am given the good news that we were definitely hanging out that day. We planned to meet at Wendy's at 10. We agreed that I would walk and she would drive so that we didn't waste more gas than necessary because she was using her mom's car. 

I put on my boots, coat, and bag and headed out the door. It takes me about 10 minutes to walk to Wendy's from my house. I was surprised to learn that Wendy's was closed for renovations. Spades called me when she found a place to park the and I informed her that Wendy's was closed. 

Luckily there was an IHOP close by that we could go to instead. We went in the IHOP and the waiter sat us down at a booth. When the waiter left, Spades wiped down the seat with a napkin. Then we sat down and figured out what we wanted. Spades ordered mashed potatoes and I ordered a breakfast combo that comes with unlimited pancakes. we had a plan, I'd eat my breakfast combo and give the pancakes to Spades.

Soon we started talking about the issue at hand. Spades still didn't believe me about Clubs liking her, but she had the confidence to actually admit her feelings. She sent him a text that said,"I like you. I'm sorry if you don't feel the same way." I am so proud of her.  I texted diamonds that Spades made a move.

After waiting 30 minutes with no response, Spades made text Diamonds that I compromised the mission. We argued about that for about 4 minutes. When I said I did she took my phone to make sure that I actually sent it. Then she read all of our messages and got fake offended. In one of the messages, Diamonds called her a coward. I didn't say anything about it because it was clearly a joke. 

Spades checked her phone again and saw that Clubs replied. He just asked," Really?" We waited over 30 minutes for this dude to question her. Spades isn't the type of person to joke about these things. She does pranks, but there's a line between a prank and just being mean. 

Spades responded with, "yes", and we started packing up. She gave me my phone back and I unlocked it. 

Diamonds replied with,"Damn". I wasn't afraid of what he'd say or anything, I just would be easier to explain when we finished our adventure. 

After like two minutes, Clubs responded with," I do feel the same way." Spades froze. She was so shocked that she froze for 10 seconds. When we walked outside we both screamed, but for two different reasons. I was happy and she was overwhelmed with emotions.

I had also just proved her wrong.

We got in the car and Spades decided to call Clubs. I asked her if she really needed me to be a part of this because it seemed like it should've been a private moment. She made it clear that she needed me for moral support. I couldn't very well argue with that. She was so confused and overwhelmed that 98% of the conversation was her saying the words" fuck you" or "I love you." 

I decided to take this time to text the words, "Mission accomplished." 

It seemed that all of my worrying and headache were literally for nothing. I got the job done and made my friends happy. I'm also happy that Clubs admitted his feelings so that we didn't have to make things awkward with the other side of the bet.
