Chapter Nine
" So how was it?" Savannah asks me flinging herself on my basment couch.
" Good" I say laying out the duvet.
" That's it? That's all I get?" Savannah says while she is stuffing her face with popcorn and I try and pick out a movie.
" I'm thinking Rom Com what about you?"
" I'm thinking you sit your butt down and tell me every detail about what happened com" Savannah says taking another handful of popcorn. I sit down and cover myself with the blanket.
" I don't know what to say" I admit, I really don't.
" Where did he take you?" She asks me. Her voice muffled with the sound of chewing popcorn.
" To a movie"
" Did he pick you up?"
" Yes"
" Oooo did he like go up to your door with flowers!?"
" Erm- no"
" Well he atleast when up to your door didn't he?" I stay silent. " Okay then, did he kiss you?" I shrug." He did didn't he!" " Was it like full sexy make out or like granny kiss?"
" SAVANNAH!" I throw my pillow at her and we both laugh. " It was your average kiss" I mutter.
" Only average? Not like oh my god I might as well be kissing Katy Perry there were so many fireworks"
" No, it was- it was good" Savannah just looks at me. " I mean i'm not in love. It was only one date, one kiss. But I enjoyed it" Savannah remains silent so I decied to change the subject. " What about you how's your love life?" I ask.
Savannah rolls her eyes. " I still don't think i'm ever going to get over Elliot"
Elliot was Savannah's summer fling last year. Every July Savannah and I go to her beach house in the U.K. for a month, Brighton to be speacific. That's where her family is from and they've been going since Savannah was born, and eversince we were eleven, i've been going with her.
Last year we were at the pier and I went to the bathroom and when I came back, Savannah and this guy were flirting. This guy being Elliot. He was the bad boy type. You know the ass hole who you know has a long list of girls he's slept with, but managed to make you feel like you were special, diffrent from all those other girls. Well Savannah fell hard for him, and then by the end of the month he took her virginity and then we found out he had a girlfriend spending the summer in france and Savannah was just the rebound.
She was heartbroken, and then he didn't even apologize. We had to go back home and she hasn't heard from him since.
" You'll get over him, these things take time" I say to try to comfort her. I've said this for the past six months. I guess the harder you fall the longer it takes you to get back up.
" Can we not talk about this and watch a movie? It's making me depressed"
We put on She's The Man, a classic. Then we laugh all night, eat popcorn and ben and jerrys ice cream.

" Your Mum and I are out tonight so we can probably pick you up" My dad says wiping the countertops as I finish my dinner.
" What are Jesse and Luce doing tonight?" I ask him.
" Jesse is going to a party and Lucie is staying in I think, unless she made other plans-" I finish up and put my plate on the counter.
