Caution! Fragile

Chapter: 13 Predictions Scare Me.

"Eeeeeek! I knew it! I knew it! I knew it!" she clapped her hands with excitement.

"Jemma! nothing happened! he dragged me to dinner, and truthfully I had a good time, but that doesn't mean i'm falling for him." I told her.

She finally managed to calm down soon enough before I could strangle her. "I know, I know, but still, that's really exciting" she squealed once more.

"For you it is." I shot back.

"Okay, details how was your first date." Oh great here we go.

"For your information, it was not a date" I started. "Like I said, he dragged me to it. I didn't even want to go. Yet over all it was ok." Hopefully she'll shut up now. "I finally met someone who appreciates Harry Potter as much as I do" I finished. She just scoffed and rolled her eyes.

"You're so falling for him and you don't even know" she stated.

I scoffed "you're delusional, just like Bonnie" I said.

"Whatever, you will soon realize one day." She sounded like my mom at that last part.

We finally made it to Dawson's Auto. Finally! We pulled into a handicap parking space and I grabbed my handicap tag and placed it on the mirror. Jemma hopped out, grabbed my chair and put it up to the passengers seat. Then I hopped in my chair, closing the door behind me.  

"I can't wait to meet him!" She half whispered half shrieked. I just rolled my eyes.

I drove into the shop and low and behold there was Nate. Leaning against the van arms crossed staring strainght at me. Once he saw me he stood up, dug his hand into his pockets and pulled out my keys. He smiled at me and held out the keys. "All yours" he said as I grabbed them.

"Yay! Did you take good care of her?" I asked concerned.

He chuckled. "Of course, she's functioning perfectly." He replied.

"Good." At the corner of my eye Jemma was giving me her Jemma like! and you're crazy! look. I rolled my eyes. "Nate this is my best friend Jemma, Jemma this is Nate, a friend." Hopefully she'll get it one day.

"Hi" Nate said as he held out her hand.

"Hi" Jemma shook it. She was staring at him unable what to say. Almost as if she was observing him to see what he was fit for me. Typical Jemma I repeated.

"So this is the famous best friend that I have heard a lot about" said Nate, breaking the awkward silence.

Jemma smiled. "The one and only" she mocked.

I scoffed and rolled my eyes. I kept glancing at Jemma and Nate. She was staring intently at him. Observing every feature as if she was a detective in a murder case. He almost looked intimidated, but he remained his composure quite well. I almost said something to Jemma, but it would've been a really bad move. She woukd think of it the wrong way.

Once she finished analyzing him... Like I need her approval, she cleared her throat as if she was about to make a business proposal. "Well I need to get going, I have to pick out my costume for that Dress to Express ball. Jake is taking me, we're going as Bonnie and Clyde." she smiled excited.

"How Original." I said.

She then turned to Nate. "Well it was nice meeting you Nate." She smiled.

He smiled "It was nice meeting you too Jemma." He said. Nate turned to look at me. "Speaking of the ball..." Oh no, this is not happening. He is not about to ask me to the ball! I could feel Jemma tense behind me as he said the worst 10 words my ears could bear. "...I was wondering if you wanted to go with me... You know, as friends." He hinted on the last words. I didn't know what to say, honestly I didn't.

"I... Um, I-" I squeaked, then Jemma cut me off.

"She would love to!" she said. I would? "Right Kelly?" she asked cautiously. If I didn't say yes then I had to deal with Jemma's your an idiot! speech for the rest of the day, and still come home to the wrath of my Mother. If I do say yes i'd have to deal with Nate on Saturday all night long. It was a lose/lose situation. So I chose the most rationable side.

"Sure, why not, as friends." Wait? Did I just say that?

A cocky smile spread across his face. "Cool, i'll pick you up at 7 on Saturday." Jemma just about exploded.

"Okay, but! On one condition. I choose what we wear." I gave him a devilish smile.

He looked puzzled. "Okay, what do you have in mind?" He asked cautiously.

I thought about it for a moment. I realized I never really thought about it. I didn't think I would be put into a situation where I had to. Then it hit me, it was absolutely genius. "Ron and Hermione. The same outfits they wore at the Yule Ball." (Harry Potter fans would understand, if not look it up.)

He thought about for a moment, processing the idea. He nodded satisfied with it "I like it, they didn't even go with each other to the ball, it's a perfect plan, nice work Sweet cheeks." He really had to call me that with Jemma right behind me.

"Errr... Um, thanks." I said. I really didn't know what to say. "Well I better get going, I have a lot of stuff to do today, thanks for taking care of the van." I waved goodbye.j

"See you, Kelly" he smiled and went into his office.

"Holy cannoli! You just got asked out!" screached Jemma.

"Shhhh" I warned, that's all I need is the whole world to know Nate Dawson asked me out.

"Sweet Cheeks! Where did that come from? Oh my god he is so into you!" She squealed.

"Calm down, we are just friends." I said in a hushed tone.

"First friends, and then more then friends." She squealed.

"Dude shut up! Your predictions scare me!" I laughed, it was true.

She laughed. "You know you love me." She joked.

"Unfortunatly" I joked back. We both laughed.

We said our farewells goodbye and I drove home.

On the drive home I thought how I was going to get Hermione's dress. how am I going to get it into my size? Where would I find it? How am I going to do her hair? These questions floated in my mind. I had to get it done before Saturday. Somehow.
