Why is Love So Blind?

You Look Good!

“Hey Em! Where’d you go? Lyssa and I were planning a double date!” Cameron said as he grabbed my hand.

"This is going to be so much fun!" Lyssa exclaimed as we were getting ready for our date.

"Why'd you have to invite Zander and Stella?" I said not listening to her comment.

"It'll be so much more fun! The more the merrier! Plus, you can have fun with Cam and realize that you don't like Zander!" Lyssa said smartly.

"Oh." That was all I had to say to that. She obviously knew I still liked Zander. Lyssa and Kayla always knew. There was no keeping secrets from them. Ever.

"To bad Kayla doesn't have a boyfriend. It would be way more fun with her!" Yelled Lyssa as she came out of the bathroom looking super stylish.

She was wearing purple jeans with a cute white flowy top. She also had light makeup and a cute necklace on. "You look great Lyssa. And, maybe Kayla does like someone, but just doesn't want to tell us yet." I said while putting on a bracelet Zander got me for Christmas when I was 11. It was the best Christmas I ever had. It was the first time I realized my life would be a whole lot different.

Anyway, I was just going to go grab a little snack when I heard a knock on the door. So I went to the door. I opened the door, and Zander was standing there looking amazing! "Uh... Zander? What are you doing here?" I asked

"Well... I just told the guys and Stell that I'd just meet them here... So. You look great by the way." Zander said shyly.

I wasn't sure if I looked great it not. I was just wearing white jeans with a blue shirt and a gray and white cardigan. And... I was wearing my special bracelet. "Oh... Thanks Zander. I'm glad I actually look good." I said embarrassed. "You don't look to bad yourself!" I said smiling.

"Well, what do you except? I mean it is me..." Zander said in his "seductive" voice.

"Haha. Same old Zander." I said laughing. "You never change, do you?" I said smiling.

"So... Do you like the old Zander?" Zander said smiling back at me.

"Oh... Look at the time! We should go get Lyssa!" I said nervously just as Lyssa walked down front the stairs.

"Oh, hey Zander! Glad you’re here!" Lyssa said obviously not surprised that he was already here.

I looked at Lyssa trying to see what she knew and heard. But she looked at me with the face that said: I'll tell you later. So I just went with it.

"Oh ya... We decided to all meet here... Um. Can I talk to Em alone Lyssa?" Zander asked hopefully.

"We actually need to go now. Everyone is waiting outside. Sorry, but you might be able to later!" Lyssa said thoughtfully.

She knew me so well! She could even tell by the way I was talking that I didn't want to talk to Zander right now. "Sorry Zander! But we need to go or we're going to be late! Lets all try to enjoy our night, okay?!" I exclaimed as I  walked out the door.

"Wait!" Zander said.

"Let's go Zander. We can talk later." I said while pulling him out of the house.
