Just What I Needed

Just What I Needed (12)

Going out with Haley.

There are three sandwiches in the fridge, if you wake up and decide you are hungry.

Don't worry, I didn't cook them, Evelyn did.

Anyways, I'm going out with Hales, sandwiches in the fridge, put the sugar back and I love you.

Keely

"You look hot," Haley observed,making Keely giggle as she climbed into her parent's enormous SUV. "But why did you even ask me what to wear? I mean, you look amazing, and it's not as if you listened to me."

Smiling slightly, Keely patted her best friend's shoulder.

"Answer," Haley prompted at the silence.

"I decided if I'm going to be some famous rock star," Keely faked confidence, "I need to learn how to pick out my own clothes."

"First of all, of course you're going to be a famous rock star, you rock Keels," Haley laughed. "And secondly, there's no reason to pick out your own clothes. Just email me a picture of all that fancy amazing clothing you're going to get from that designer you're going to see in New York, and I'll send you an email telling you what to wear every morning."

"I like it," she giggled.

After about twenty minutes, Haley pulled onto the side of the road, finally finding a place to park between everyone else.

"This many people came?" Keely said in amazement, looking through the window.

"Of course," Haley was nonchalant. "Um... I threw the party, so everybody in our school, and others, are going to want to go. Plus, despite the jealousy, most of the people at are school like you, and wish you the best."

Smiling, Keely took a step towards where she could see a bonfire through the trees. "Well, I never expected that."

"And I have a feeling you never expected this either."

The voice was easy to identify as Sadie, but Keely couldn't see the soft brown eyes, brown hair.

"Seriously guys?" Keely complained flailing her arms as Sadie, or maybe Haley, slipped a blindfold over her eyes. "I've been here a million times, I know what I'm going to see. Plus, you know me, the clumsiest person in the Western Hemisphere. How do you expect me to walk through a forest littered with tree roots and things without falling on my face."

"We're going to lead you," Sadie said trying to sound comforting as she rubbed Keely's arm. But Keely could only roll her eyes even though the motion would have no effect on the people around her seeing she was blindfolded.

Snorting, Keely answered, "Yeah. Like that's going to help when I fall on my face."

"I recruited Tony to help," Haley put in. "He's going to carry you piggyback there." Maybe it was foolish and a bit sneaky, but Haley wanted to see a happy ending for all her friends tonight. Because, despite everything, Tony was her friend too, and she wanted him to either move on or show Keely that he really did love her.

"What are you up to Hales?" Keely asked suspiciously turning to the sound of Haley's voice.

"Nothing," said Haley sweetly from the other side.

"Sadie," Keely whined.

There was a sound in front of Keely, and she spun on her heel towards it. "C'mon Keels, you got to get to your party."
