Play the song before you read! DO IT! :D You'll get a joke later on.
Fun Fact: I chose the name Jonah because one of my favorite actors is Jonah Hill. Along with Dave Franco. I love them, omg.
Chapter 20
I’m glad that the football game is at the other school because they have an indoor field, unlike my school. I was currently dressed in the warmest yet ‘fashionable’ clothes that I could find. Meredith said something about looking cute but staying warm. I was wearing a blue sweater and an undershirt with the thickest pair of jeans in my closet. I was wearing my snow boots and I had my hair up in a messy bun.
Since tickets are available at the stand, Jonah and I are getting there early so we can make sure we actually get tickets. The game starts at 7 but Jonah’s already on his way and its only 5:30. My stomach felt like mush as I stood in front of the mirror and examined myself. I brushed my eyelashes with mascara and I put eyeliner on.
My door flew open to reveal my brother whose face was covered in brown stuff, which I’m hoping is chocolate, and he was grinning childishly. “Why aren’t you ready? You have a date in two hours!”
My brother stared at me for a minute before he frowned. “I know.”
“What’s wrong? Don’t tell me you’re going to cancel on Mere! She’s going to be crushed!” I exclaimed and he shook his head.
“I don’t know what to wear; I haven’t been on a date since junior year,” he told me as he kicked the carpet.
“Why don’t you take a shower and I’ll pick something out for you?” I told him and he nodded.
I walked into my brother’s room, heading towards his closet. I flipped through the various clothes before I grabbed a black t-shirt and black jeans. Deciding to go from emo to casual, I grabbed a red, black and gray button down shirt and tossed that beside it. I grabbed his red Converses and threw them beside the clothes before I went downstairs, waiting for Jonah to show up.
~~~
About 20 minutes after I set up my brother’s clothes, he came downstairs, dressed fully with a grin on his face. “You look nice…thanks to me.”
My brother rolled his eyes but didn’t bother wiping the grin off of his face. “You do, too, I guess. You look like a penguin.”
I looked down at my outfit. “How? I don’t resemble a penguin at all.”
“Yeah you do, you waddle because your clothes are too thick,” he told me while scarfing down a cookie.
I just scowled at him. “What are your plans for tonight?”
“I made reservations at this restaurant and after that, we’re going to go walking along the boardwalk," he told me with a shrug. I stared at my brother, who knew he was a closet romantic?
I nodded my head. “That actually sounds nice.” I smiled. He nodded his head enthusiastically. “Bring an extra sweater.”
“Why?” he asked me as he ate another cookie.
I grinned. “Mere isn’t going to wear a sweater and she will only break the rules of fashion if you give her your sweater.”
He nodded as soon as a car horn honked outside. He looked at me and grinned before wriggling his eyebrows. “Get that kiss.”
I escaped the house while he continuously made kissing noises. When I got into Jonah’s car, he smiled at me. “You look like a penguin.”
“Just drive, boy.”
