Lesson 26: You Should Be Careful About What Ice-Cream Place You Go To
Soon the school day ended, and I was more than relived to go home. I couldn't stop thinking about the video and what Joe had said to me about it and Derek. Was he right? Was Derek just using me?
I was walking home, since getting a ride from Joe was out of the question, and Selena had to stay after school to do some homework in our school's library.
Nerd.
Anyway, I was a few houses away from my house when I saw a familiar motorbike with a familiar figure riding it. He slowed down next to me, and I stood still, watching it to make sure it was who I thought it was. Of course, I was right.
Derek. My 'boyfriend'.
"Hey Derek!" I greeted, walking towards him, but not too close so it wouldn't seem like I was desperate. He grinned at me, showing his perfect white pearls.
"What, no hello kiss?" He teased, and leaned in. I blushed a bit, and kissed him on his cheek. He looked at me, disappointed.
"Aww, that's it? I help you make that video and that's my thank you?" He joked, and I shrugged. He frowned.
"By the way," He whispered in a husky voice. "You look great today." I mumbled out a thank you. Derek frowned.
"Are you okay, Amber? You're acting a bit cold today. Want to go to an ice-cream place and talk about it?" Derek asked, and I grinned, nodding. I accepted the helmet he gave me, and with his help, climbed onto the motorbike, wrapping my arms around his waist.
"Ready?" He called.
"Yup, let's ride!!" I replied, and we sped off.

"So, what happened today?" Derek asked.
Derek and I were currently seated on a booth in an ice-cream place. I was eating my Ben and Jerry's cookie dough ice-cream, while Derek just had plain strawberry. I twirled my spoon in my ice-cream and pursed my lips, thinking of an answer.
"Well, all I can say is I deeply regret making that video," I started, and he raised an eyebrow.
"It turns out that Maria wasn't the one we needed to get revenge on, it was Alice. She actually really smart, smarter than me and Selena thought. So now, she's single-handily turned Maria against us, and I bet she has more up her sleeve." I explained, and Derek nodded.
"This Alice chick seems pretty interesting," I heard him mutter, and I felt a pang in my heart. Does that mean he's interested in Alice??
You can only find out one way- Make him jealous.
"So anyway, I walked out of the hall feeling really bad, then Joe came up to me, and started comforting me like the sweet guy he is . . ." I lied, putting a dreamy look on my face. I saw Derek's expression harden.
"What exactly did he do?" He muttered angrily, and I sighed happily.
"Well, I started crying and he hugged me to him and started stroking my hair, saying sweet things to me . . ." I trailed off, seeing Derek's furious expression.
"Is something wrong? You don't mind, do you, since we're not official or anything," I said, hinting at the boyfriend- girlfriend thing. I saw Derek's surprised expression.
"I mean, we've only kissed, and that doesn't make us in a relationship, right?" I asked, twirling my hair around my finger and looking innocently at him. He grabbed my hand, surprising me.
"But Amber, I want to be in a relationship with you!" He stated, and I grinned, feeling happiness swell up inside me.
"I don't think that's the way you ask . . ." I teased, grinning when Derek got down on one knee.
"Amber Woods, will you do me the honour of being my girlfriend?" He asked, getting attention from other customers in the cafe.
"Of course!" I exclaimed, and he stood up and kissed me. I felt millions of little butterflies in my tummy, and could hear the distant sound of cheering and clapping in the background.
Derek and I pulled away, and grinned at each other, sitting back down.
"So, girlfriend," Derek started, and I giggled, looking down shyly at my nearly finished ice-cream.
"Since we're official now, maybe on Saturday, we can go on our first date as a couple?" He asked, smiling slightly. I looked up in surprise.
"Already? I thought we could do something else . . ." I trailed off, and blushed when I realized how that sounded.
"Amber! I thought you were a good girl! I know I'm a good kisser and all, but . . ." Derek said teasingly, and I laughed, blushing harder.
"Stop! You're making me go red!!" I exclaimed, slapping his arm and keeping my hands on my cheeks while he grinned at me.
"Are you finished with you ice-cream?" He asked, and I nodded. He stood up and so did I.
"Let's take you back home then." He said, and we left.

(A Certain Someone's POV)
I sat down at an empty boot and brought my phone out, watching Amber and Derek, smirking. I brought out my phone and videoed everything, Derek asking Amber to be his girlfriend, them hugging and kissing then leaving, and even when they got on Derek's motorbike and drove off.
When I finished I kept my phone away and ordered chocolate with lots of caramel. I paid for it and walked out of the nearest Flower shop.
"Good afternoon." I said calmly, walking up to the counter and facing a man who was in his late 40's.
"Hello, what can I get ya today?" He asked, and I looked over the rows of beautiful, neatly arranged flowers.
"I'd like those." I stated, pointing at a bundle of pretty red roses. He raised an eyebrow.
"These are usually bought for loved ones of Valentines' day, and it's May. A special occasion, I presume?" He questioned, and I smirked.
"You could say that." I said and paid him, when I bundle of lilies caught my eye. I had memories of when Selena sniffed a lily a started violently sneezing and coughing, also swelling up and was taken to a hospital immediately.
"Oh, and those would be nice." I said, pointing at the lilies. The man handed them to me and I paid him, walking out of the shop and smirking.
I unlocked my car and kept the things I'd purchased at the back, and started driving to a certain place, ready to have my revenge,

HELLO AGAIN!
Who do you think 'That certain someone' is?? It's actually quite obvious, so I don't really know why I'm asking.
Also, what do you think TSC's (that certain someone) revenge is?
Will her/his ;) plan work? Or not?
