Carly's POV
"why is everyone here?" I asked them as I sat up
"The real question is, why on earth is Leo there?" Mom asked me, dad on the other hand gave Leo a high five
"Listen to me we didn't do anything" I tried to explain to them, but they wouldn't accept it
"oh come on Carly, two teenagers of the opposite gender in a room that spend the night together?" Brittney told me
"it will be hard to believe that there is nothing that happened between you two last night" Ross added to Brittney's sentence
"We really didn't do anything I gave her my gift and I was tired so I sleep beside her" Leo said as he stood up and showed them his gift to me
They opened it and all of them were excited that it was a photo album and all of their pictures are inside there too
"hey this is when we were at the lakehouse" Kevin said, everybody was so happy to look inside the album
"where would you like to go?"
I looked at Leo as he sat beside me, I was confused
"what?"
He smiled and said
"after you get discharged where would you like to go?"
I never thought of a place for us to date since I would never expect us to get this far, I always see many famous dating spots but I never really look into it
"I don't know, surprise me" I said
"even if it is simple as a picnic, it would still be nice" I added
"really? Then you better prepare yourself then" he said then gave me a side hug as we watched everyone squeeze themselves to see their photo
••••after a few days later••••
I was packing my stuff and my parents are helping me do it
"Carly Matt is picking you up, you should go downstairs and go home while your father and I will do the rest" Mom said to me
"Are you sure?" I asked since I feel like I have been a burden this past week
"of course, we are not that old yet" she grinned at me, I waved to my parents and went down to the grounds of the hospital
Matt hasn't arrived yet so I sat at a bench while waiting for him, a lady with droopy eyes sat beside me
"my what pretty hair you have young lady" she complimented me, I was flattered since usually there are people who don't like unusual coloured hair
"Thank you" I said to her, Looking at her style she looks like she was very pretty back when she was younger. The way she styles herself is quite sophisticated
She wore pearl earring that she paired it with a simple white coat that has a flower brooch, her hair is styled in a bun
"What is your name dear?" she asked me and gave me a sweet smile, anybody can be friends with this lady she is very sweet and kind looking
"My name is Carly miss" I replied, I was wearing my new jacket that dad gave me since I feel the temperature outside become cold
"really? But you look more like a Maria" she commented
A Maria? Why does that name sound so familiar, I keep hearing it on so many different occasions
"I do?"
"of course you are!!" she said with jolly in her voice, Matt finally arrived and stopped in front of us
Before I get in the car I asked the lady
"excuse me but I didn't catch your name" I said to her in a loud voice
She grinned at me "Call me Elizabeth dear, I go by that name" she said and waved goodbye to me, I waved back at her and got in the car
"who was that?" Matt asked me as he started the car
"she told me her name was Elizabeth" I said
He looked at her
"she could pass as a royal with the way she dresses herself" he remarked
Matt was right, the lady could pass as a royal or any rich family lady with the way she presents and dress herself, I could never be like that when I grow older because of the way I dress up I look like a slob
"Maybe you should ask her for some dressing tips, it looks like you could really need one since you are going on a date with Leo" Matt said to me, he was right so I went out of the car and ran to the lady
"um excuse me miss Elizabeth" I said and she looked at me
"oh my!, did you left something dear?" she asked me with a concerned face and I shake my head
"if it may not trouble you but I would like to ask how to dress up for a date" I said and she chuckled
"a date? Sure I can help you!!" she said excitedly
"I haven't helped a fellow woman in dressing up in a long time so this should be fun, where do we meet?" she asked me and she brought out her kitty notepad and a pen
"hmm how about we meet at the entrance of Sunset mall by tomorrow at 12 how does that sound?" I suggested to her
"12!? Dear, have you forgotten? It takes a woman a long time to prepare for herself for a date, let's make it 9 AM" she suggested, I agreed with her since I am the one asking her for help
She wrote it down on her kitty notepad and she nodded at me
"the man who will date you will be a very lucky guy once I dress you up" she smirked and crossed her hand in a very proud way
"thank you miss Elizabeth" I said to her
"dear let's not stick with the formalities, just call me Liz calling me by my full name can be quite a hassle" she said to me
We exchanged phone numbers and I finally said goodbye to her, me and Matt drove back to our home
