A DARE'S FAULT

WILSON LIKES ME.

It is three days ever since Wilson's party and the dare took place and a Friday it is. The French class is taking place, when Milly gets note from Fred saying; ' can we have a talk after this class?'

       "Nous pouvons nous arrêster ici pour l'instant" Lauren speaks in French.

    All the students get up and start getting out.

    "Are you coming Milly?" Molly asks

     "You guys can go. I shall meet you there"

     "Fine, but hurry" Milly walks along with Lillie and get out. Milly remains with Fred;

    "Now what?" She says.

     "I just want to say something to you. My friend Mark seems to be in love with you but he is really scared of you" Fred says and Milly laughs "what is really funny there?"

    "What are you, the messanger boy. Anyway, if he is not man enough to come and tell me himself then I really doubt all of that"

     "Most of the students in school really think that guy is dating that French teacher, but it is not true. Not true at all. That woman is married and has two kids. Do you think Wilson is that dump"

      "Then what is really true. What should I believe"

     "Wilson had one girl friend, am all aware that you know of her but unfortunately, she broke up with him last summer, even before we came back to school. Trust me, that guy is single and he likes you. Please at least have a word with him after classes. You may get to know all you want" Milly is a little bit speechless.

    "Ok, but expect less, I don't like him. Am just going to talk to him"

     "Thank you"

   They walk together but part after they reach the hallway. Milly walks to Molly and Lillie, Fred walks to Mark and Wilson.

       "Guys, I really want to tell you something" Milly says.

     "What's that?" Molly asks.

    "Remember when I told you guys to go without me?"

    "Yeah!" The two rhyme.

    "Fred sent me a note to talk to him after the French class. And when I talked to him, he told me that Wilson likes me. He also said that he is not dating Lauren and his girlfriend broke up with him last summer"

    "You mean that guy is single?"Lillie asks.

      "Yeah!"

    "What about that girl from the other school he's said to be dating?" Molly asks.

    "Fred didn't say a word about her,and am meeting with Wilson after classes"

     "You said yes?"Lillie asks

     "What am I? A whore?
Milly says. "Am just gonna listen to what he is saying, that's all".

     "Ok! Then you will tell us all about it tomorrow" Molly says.

     "Such an awesome guy's single. So  unbelievable" Lillie says as they walk away.

   Wilson is in the history class but very anxious to get out. He looks at the clock each time and then;

    "Dude, calm down. It's remaining a few minutes" Mark whispers to him.

     "I just can't wait to sit next to her. Man I like that girl" he whispers back.

    "Guys, we a in class, so shhhh..." Before he gets to finish up, the bell rings.

     "Fred, were you saying something" Wilson asks him. The three get up and get out of class.

     "Are you gonna drive her home?" Mark asks.

    "I don't know what to do" Wilson replies.

    "Man my car got a flat tire, it's Fred who drove me here".

      "Then he will drive you back home".

    " Yeah, I will,but you ask her if she needs a drive back home" Fred says as the three walk out.

       "Yeah! I will"

     The girls are in the parking lot leaning towards Lillie's car.

     "Where is the dude?" Molly asks.

    "There they are. I think they are walking towards us" Lillie says.

     "Oh my God, I feel guilty about all I thought about him" Milly says.

     "Yeah! Me too..." Lillie says. Before she could add anything, the boys are just inches from them.

     "Hi everyone"

    "Hi there" Wilson says. "That was a scene you made at the party"

    Mark looks at Lillie and sees all the shyness she has in her eyes. She was not looking at him, she was dodging his eyes.

     "Tomorrow is a saturday and we would like to invite you all at my place" Mark speaks while looking at Lillie. Fred pulls him aside and whispers;

      "What the fuck dude"

    "Chill, am not saying that they don't go together, am trying to talk to Lillie. You know she is scared to look at my face. And Wilson can also spend some time with Milly while we are at my place"

      "Oh! I see what you are trying to do. Fine"
    They walk back to the rest.
      "Now, will you come over?" Mark continues with his speech.

     "Yeah, sure" Milly says.
"Actually you may pardon the two us. Wilson, can we leave now?" Wilson looks at Fred and lipses;

    "I never asked"

The two walk away, leaving the four behind.

       "You really have nice hair. I love it's color" Mark speaks to Lillie.

    "Thanks. I also love yours, blonde" she replies." I love it"

     "Actually, we are leaving" Fred says.

    "You and who?" Mark asks.

    "Me and Molly"

    "You and me?"Molly asks.

    "Can I drive you home today?".

     "Lillie will drive me?"

    "No she's not. She is actually going to drive Mark"

     "No am not" Lillie says,but Fred winks at her.

       "You told me you were going to" Fred says.

      "Yeah! Am actually going to be driving Mark home today. I had promised him"

    "Mark has his car" Molly says.

     "It has a flat tire" Mark replies. "Fred is the one who drove me to school today"

     "Fine, only for today" Molly finally accepts. "I guess we shall meet tomorrow sweetie" she hugs Lillie.

    Fred and Molly walk to his car as Mark enters Lillie's car.

      "What are you doing? She asks.

     "You are taking me home"

     "You have your own car. So please get out"

     "Didn't you hear? It got a flat tire. You thought we were joking"

     "You are lying to me"

     "Please take me home. Please" he pleads

    "Fine, but I don't know where you live."

      "Then I'll drive. If you don't mind"

              "Fine"

         "Then get in" she enters and Mark drives off.
