"Halley! Halley! Halls! Halley!" Miguel ran towards the brunette, every single person in the hall turning to look briefly to the boy, than back to what they were doing
"Jesus Christ! What happened?" the girl asked when Miguel was in front of her
"I need your help, right now" and without waiting for an answer he dragged her inside of an empty classroom. She looked at him with a questioning look "I wanna ask Sam out"
"I don't see how can I help"
"I don't know how and she's your cousin. Besides you have a boyfriend you should know how this things work"
"Yeah..." she laughed airily "No. First of all, to make Eli realize that I actually like him I had to grab him by the cheeks and kiss him, which I don't think would work on Sam" Miguel nodded fastly, obviously not thinking about doing that....just yet
"Then what do I do?"
"Just be straightforward. Don't go around the bushes, just ask her out. Although I'm not sure she wants to date anyone after Kyler" that didn't discourage Miguel, who still had his sensei's words engraved in his mind
"I don't lose anything by trying, right?" Halley nodded doubtfully "Alright, thank you, Halls. See you later" and he practically ran out of the room, Halley was confused about what was going on with Miguel, she just guessed he was in love, and smiled to herself, Miguel was nice, if he and Sam dated she wouldn't mind at all, in fact, she was rooting for them, she thought they would look really cute together

"Hey, Eli" Halley sped her pace slightly to catch up with the blue haired boy. Eli had been making everyone call him Hawk since Johnny gave him the nickname, however he never corrected Halley when she called him by his name, he didn't mind it actually
"Hey" he smiled at the sight of her "What's up?"
"Soooo....Tonight it's the premiere of the new Jurassic World movie, you know that" of course he did, he was obsessed with the Jurassic World saga since he was a kid, he wanted to go to the premiere but didn't get tickets "Well, me, being the amazing person I am...." she stopped talking to look in her bag for something, and then resumed "I got us tickets" she showed them to him, and Eli felt on cloud nine, he wanted to jump and scream, but he stopped himself remembering they were still in the school halls
"There's no way" his smile grew by the second "How did you do it?" he grabbed her and brought her closer to him, arms around her tightly
"I have my tricks" she smiled, her face buried into his neck, due to him being slightly taller than her, not by much though, just a few inches "So, you're in or what?" she made eye contact, him looking at her as if she had asked the stupidest question in the world
"Is that even a question? I'm obviously in" he grabbed her by the neck and brought their lips together, she felt butterflies rise in her stomach, it was the first time that he initiated a kiss, it was always her who did
"Alright, I'll pick you up at 9:00" knowing he didn't have a car, nor a license
"That's great" he confirmed
"Perfect, it's a date then" she smiled brightly, pecking her lips onto his one more time before walking away and getting lost in the herd of students that wanted to get out of school as fast as possible. Eli stood there a couple of seconds until her words registered on his brain, and he suddenly felt anxious, but like, a good anxious, he was looking forward to that date, but felt like shitting his pants because it was his first date ever and on top of that it would be with the girl he's had a crush on since middle school, and he really didn't wanna mess it up, even after they had already kissed several times and cuddled the whole night
♢♢♢
Halley was freaking out, she had an hour and a half before her date with Eli and she had no idea what to wear, how much makeup to wear or how she was gonna do her hair. Her being worried about all of that was stupid because it wasn't the first time her and Eli would go to the movies together, but to her it just felt different and didn't know what to do with that, so she called the only person who knew her enough to give her a good advice but not enough to actually call her stupid to her face
"....That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard" scratch that, Robby had just called her stupid to her face, well not to her face, as her phone was in her bed and the only thing the boy could see was the white seeling of Halley's room
"Wow, Thank you, that's exactly what I needed to hear" she said rolling her eyes while struggling to put a pair of jeans on
"Listen- " he paused for a second trying to organize his words "It's just, the whole situation is stupid, you've known the guy since you can remember, you and him have been best friends for ages, you guys have held hands, sleep in each others bed, cuddled, and recently you've also been kissing, you being nervous about going to the movies with him is just illogical "
"I mean, yeah, but.... it's different" she sighed "You don't get it. That's not why I called you anyway, I wanted your opinion on my outfit" she grabbed her phone and placed it on her vanity and took a few steps back so he could see the whole thing. Robby examined it as if he was a professional stylist, if he was gonna give his opinion he was gonna do it right
"Okay, It's good, it looks nice..." he looked unsure
"But...?" she encouraged him to continue
"It just doesn't convince me"
"You hate it"
"I hate it" he confirmed nodding, he watched as the girl took her hands and put them through her hair, looking as if she was gonna rip it from one tug "I think it's the jeans, maybe change those" he kept going as if Halley wasn't having a literal mental breakdown on the other side of his screen
"Alright, I'll change them" she threw the phone on her bed again and went back to look at his closet that was half empty as half of her clothes were scattered everywhere, after a few seconds of silence and deep meditation on her life choices while looking around her messy room, her eyes caught the glimpse of a skirt that she had forgotten about, she wore it once, and it was to go have dinner with her and Eli's parents, the boy looked as red as if he had consumed 20 chiles habanero, he had even told her she looked pretty. She smiled at the memory and picked the skirt from the floor "What about a skirt?" she asked the boy who was patiently waiting
"That would look perfect" so she put on the skirt and showed the boy "Yes" he simply said "I got nothing else to add, It looks amazing"
"Alright" she smiled, finally relieved of not having to worry about her outfit anymore"I gotta go now, I have half an hour to do my hair and make up before picking up Eli"
"Okay, see you at practice tomorrow?"
"Of course" they said their goodbyes and Halley did her make up and her hair in record time, she took one last look in her mirror and sighed feeling satisfied with what she saw, specially the skirt, purple was her favorite color after all. She rushed out to be able to be right on time to pick up Eli, her hands were shaking and she prayed to all god's above to make her not crash the car, with how nervous she was she wouldn't be surprised if she crashed the car into a stop sign

Hello, hello
I don't have much to say, just that I imagine Halley wearing the same outfit as Lydia Martin in the first episode of teenwolf
