Three days later :

"So Billie, tell me about you and Brandon?" Zoe asked, smiling.

Billie, Zoe and Drew were in history class, and since the lesson was extremely boring, they had decided not to listen. Drew appreciated Brandon, and Zoe had lowered her guard slightly, and was even starting to sympathize, she was still doubtful. But above all, they had noticed that they had gotten closer.

Billie let a small smile appear on the corner of her lips.

"Well, sorry girls, tonight it won't be possible for the netflix party, Brandon asked me for a date !!"

The girls' reaction was exactly what she had expected. They gave a sort of scream of excitement and took Billie in their arms.

"I'm too happy for you!"

"I was sure it was going to happen, he seemed pretty anxious today..."

Then the professor cut them off from their discussion;

"Hey you three, that's enough, we're not in a tea room, if you keep talking, it will be in the principal's office."

Billie rolled her eyes, and sent a sorry smile to her friends, who winked at her.

It wasn't really a date she planned to have that night, but her second test. He had given her absolutely no information except that she will do it with him. The date was the best cover, to have the excuse to cancel an evening with friends. Anyway, she had to tell them she was in a relationship with Brandon. She'll say that it was on the date that he made his request.

Her next class was with Brandon, and Billie had to seem close to him. He was , there was not the problem, but her goal was that it made other students understand that something was happening between the two.

She sat down next to him, and brought her table as close as possible to hers without being noticed.

"What are you doing ?" Brandon asked her.

"I told the girls we have a date scheduled for tonight." she didn't answer his question.

The few students who could hear from where they were turned to try to listen the conversation. Billie imagined the rumors that were going to break out after class; "The new guy is already fucking Billie O'Connell", but for once it didn't bother her.

Brandon frowned, but understood why she had said date, and not currently what they really planned.

"I would pick you up at your house at 5. "

"No, I'm working tonight, so come to the sandwich shop at 6 instead."

"Ight"

Then he leaned toward her ear.

"Take a comfortable outfit ..."

Billie nodded, and she took advantage of his proximity to kiss him on the cheek ; It had to be believable, but at the same time, a real kiss would be too much for her for the moment. He smiled at her, understanding her maneuver.

"Next time, make a real one." he whispered to her, and winked at her.

Billie raised her eyebrows, and let out a little sneer.

"You are really lovely, good evening."

"Thanks, have a good evening as well. " Billie replied, a polite smile on her lips.

It was the third person who complimented her today. She watched the client go out, then let out a long sigh. It was finally time for her to leave.

"She's not wrong." Brandon pointed out to her. He had arrived there exactly five minutes earlier, waiting for her to finish, as he had planned. "Especially in your uniform."
