He said he loved me... (completed)

My mini freak out!

Chapter 7: My mini freak out!

I woke up the following morning, feeling refreshed and happy. Knowing that today I’ll make my ‘move’ and try to get out of the ‘friend zone’ with Nico I chose my new pink dress (and If you know me, you’ll understand that dresses are only for special occasions!) that ties around the neck and is very cute and girly. I went to the bathroom and done my usual routine, and styled my hair on a French braid of my fringe and a side-plait of my long hair. It looked summer cute, not out-done-trying-to-impress-a-cute-guy cute. Good, just what I was aiming for! I was surprised that my day was going so well already, my outfit looked fab with only some bracelets and a pair of summer wedge-heels and that my usually frizzy and out-of-control hair was actually obeying my orders… I was just waiting for something to come along and spoil it all… still waiting… walk into my room… still waiting… sit on my bed…still waiting… Gina walks in. BOOM! No longer waiting.

“What you all dressed up for?” she snaps at me

“can’t I dress up for myself without your permission now?” I snap back, equally as cheekily.

Hit! She blushes and turns around. Score!  I silently praise myself for the quick remark. I’m getting good at this… 

“Where are you guys going today?” She asked, plainly and very cleverly not involving herself in our plans, which I must give her credit for.

“Going aunts. You?” I only asked to be polite, but judging by the horrified look on Kate’s face, I realised I’d made a mistake.

Big mistake. “Well… I was thinking I’d come along with you guys…” She said as she started applying yet another coat of mascara.

Say no! Just say no, get it over with! I kept telling myself but the good inside me would not let such a thing happen

“Yeah, sure” Damn! Curse my good side! Sometimes it pays to be nice…

Kate glanced at me and threw me a petrified look. I knew exactly what it meant… I sighed and sat on the edge of the bed and started to jump on a long train of thought… ok, don’t panic. She’s coming along, but we can keep her busy right? Just enough time so that I have enough time to… to what?! What is the plan? I just realised that I didn’t really know what my plan was… better start thinking of one now! What was I gonna say or do once I was around Nico? How do I get out of the ‘friends zone’? Are we even in the ‘friends zone’? oh my gosh! This is all getting sooo confusing! Deep breath… in…. out… in…  I start to laugh hysterically because ‘in…out…in…out’ started to sound really rude in my mind, and Kate turned to me and sighed. Wow, this must mean as much to her as it does to me… weird...

I forced myself to stop laughing and start thinking. After at least 4 minutes of totally blankness in my mind I decided to ask the only person I could ask for advice right now: Faye. I got out my mom’s laptop and quickly logged on to ‘facebook’. Thank goodness Faye was online!

Monzik@: Hey!

Mara B’hum chiiiick: Heey!

Monzik@: I need your advice. Fast!

Mara B’hum chiiiick: Sure, wat is it?

Monzika@: Nico. Going to see him today and have no idea how to get out of the friends zone!

Mara B’hum chiiick: Right… eh. Talk to him like ur friends, then casually drop hints, like touch his arm or look directly into his eyes e.t.c, then you should play a game where u ask personal questions or something and then get onto dating and find out if he’s single and hint that you fancy him! Simple!

Monzik@: ummm… not simple! But thxs! GTG now! Byeeee xx

Mara B’hum chiiick: Byee. Good luck. You’re so gonna need it. Xx

Monzik@ is offline

Oh my gosh! I totally forgot to think about whether he’s single or not! Duh! Stupid me! What the hell was I thinking? What if he isn’t single? What if… STOP! I need to calm down, stop with all this thinking and just go with the flow, like those hippies say! I need to go with the flow…

I got off the laptop and walked into my room, took my phone and keys and started to head out of the door, with my cousins hot on my tail. I had a feeling that this day was about to get even more confusing. Just you wait and see…
