Songs for the chapter: Maniac~Conan GrayI check the mirror to make sure I look okay. My forest green jumpsuit hangs loose on top of a plain white t-shirt. I swipe on some lip gloss and mascara, putting on final touches for my date with Jason. I'm taking him to my favorite lookout spot and we're gonna star-gaze. I really need this date. I love Jase but he's just been really distant lately. I drive over to his house and pull up. There's no lights on, that's odd. I pick up my phone calling him.
"Jason?"
"Yeah babe what's up?"
"Are you home right now?"
"Should i be?"
"Jase!"
"What?"
"Our date??"
"Shit sorry babygirl"
*again literal gag*
"Whatever it's fine"
I hang up on him. Totally NOT fine. I roll my eyes and pull up to 7-eleven. As Bailey says 'nothing a good slushie can't fix'. I walk through the isles and grab various snacks. As I make my way over to the slushie machine, familiar blue eyes catch mine. No it couldn't be.
"Lina?"
Apparently it can.
"Edi!" I offer her a warm smile.
"What are you doing here?"
"I could ask you the same."
"I live down the street." Oh my glory gracious I'm soooo dumb, I literally have been to her house.
"Oh! Right! I totally forgot."
Her eyes shift to the floor. Cute. Wait WHAT? Cute?
"You wanna hang out?" I ask her.
"Sure. where are we going?"
"My house?"
"Ok."
-
"Fuzzy socks."
"Really?" I raise my eyebrow at the girl in front of me and let out a light laugh, "Your favorite thing you've ever owned are fuzzy socks?"
"Well not just any fuzzy socks." she says fiddling with her sweatshirt sleeve. "They're light pink with little cat ears at the top"
We had decided to play 21 questions and ours were... different. Not that kind of different. Get your mind out of the gutter John B. They were just questions I had literally never heard anyone ask someone.
"Okay, ummmm..." she taps her chin thinking up a question, "What is the worst snapchat you've received from someone?"
"Oh! I know!" I shake my head at the stupidity of the boy, "I had been snapping this guy for a while and he asked me, and I quote, 'Do abs turn you on?'"
"Wait really?"
"Yes it was so odd like who the fuck like asks that?"
"Wait what happened after? Like where is this kid now?"
"Um idk where he IS but, I kinda, am dating him?"
"So in the end, his line did work?"
"Not that one specifically, but after I replied mocking him, he laughed it off and started to go in a tinsie bit of a different direction."
"Tell me about him."
"I'd really prefer not to tonight." I mumble as all my anger towards Jason puddles up.
"Reason for the slushie?"
I nod.
"Reason for the slushie."
We talk a bit more before lying on my bed and watching Good Luck Charlie. I post on instagram before we both begin to drift off.
