A Nation

Chapter 8 The Date

I stepped out of my room and gave Jay a big hug. "What's this for?" He said. "For making my day" I said squeezing him tighter. "Your welcome" he said with his voice uncertain. I walked around and asked Jay if any of the Murnahs have found out about this. "No" he replied "we have to keep this a secret if you want to stay alive" "Then why were you standing in a wide open space with Aleeks and Murnahs with a map? And why did you bring everyone in A Nation to my dorm?" I said impatiently. "I don't know I don't really think things through well enough before I do them" he said looking at me in the eyes, still dazed from my hug. Does he really like me? He blushed then walked off doing some weird hand movements. "Yessssss!" I screamed loud enough for everyone on my floor to hear. A girl about 5.9 with pink hair turned around and walked toward me and said "Sup I'm Jen and I'm an Aleek like you" "Cool nice to meet you" I said wondering why she was talking to me. "Well got to go see ya around" she said walking away. There is something about her that I like but it seems dangerous.
This afternoon someone was knocking on my door. I opened it to see who it was and it was Jay wearing a black long sleeved shirt and jeans. "Hi" he said nervously. "Hi what are you doing here" I said looking around out of the doorway to see if any one was around. "Would you like to have dinner tonight" he said with his cheeks blushing. "Now?" I said. He nodded. "I don't have many nice clothes" I claimed. "It doesn't matter" he proclaimed "if you want to change I'll step out until you are done" he said shyly. "Umm sure I'll be out in a second" I said hesitantly. He walked out the door and I put my face in my pillow and smiled. I ran to my closet and put on a nice long sleeved shirt and bell bottoms along with a side braid in my dark hair. I looked in my mirror laced my fingers together and smiled. I walked outside of my room and there stood Jay with roses in his hand waiting for me. A huge smile spread across my face. "You ready?" He said handing me the flowers "I believe so" I said happily. He led me down the hall into a room with a nicely decorated table and candles. "How did you do this without any other Murnahs knowing?" I said questionably "No but you have no idea how hard it was to get this to happen. And I'm so relieved that you said yes" he said handing me a homemade menu. It said

Menu
Lemonade
Water
Tea
Fruit salad
Salad
Steak
Ice cream

After I decided and told Jay what I ordered Wildfire came in with a fancy tux on and said "May I take your order?" Jay and I looked at each other and glanced smiles and I said "I will have the steak with a water and ice cream" "I will take the salad with the tea and ice cream as well" said Jay. Wildfire ran out and came back with a salad, melted ice cream, our drinks, and an uncooked steak and laid it on a metal tray. He opened his and and Fire started to cook the steak. While I was focused on Wildfire's act I turned my head to look at Jay and I found that he had been looking back at me for a while now. Wildfire set down my steak and said "How's this" "Perfect. Thank you" I said. He grabbed our melted ice creams and flexed his hand and froze them perfectly. "Enjoy" said Wildfire and he left us alone to eat. Jay ate his salad and I ate my steak and we both ate our ice cream together. "How's your meal" said Jay "Wonderful thank you. Really" I said "Good" he claimed. "How long have you been planning this?" I asked "3 days" he said proudly. I felt my cheeks going warm and turning red and I saw that he was doing it too. "Do you think we could do this again? I said "Of course" he said
