You Don't Know Me
Chapter Six
Edited
~ Summer Preston's POV ~
So Anthony simply refused to tell me what happened to his face. He would just make dumb jokes about how I was taking our fake relationship too seriously. Which I would respond by telling him that I was taking our friendship seriously. But one thing I've learned from all the years of being friends with Anthony is if he doesn't want someone to know something, he won't tell them. So I dropped it.
But then I threatened to punch his other eye.
"What did I do?" He had exclaimed.
"You slept with Kali!" I had rolled my eyes.
"No I didn't!"
"Then how does she know what you like in bed?"
"You talk about me like that?"
That earned him a smack upside the head.
It had been 8 days since then but I still couldn't shake the feeling I got when he first opened his door. He looked so empty. I had never seen him like that. I completely dropped the confession thing because I didn't want to upset him.
Now it was Friday night and the entire house was in an uproar.
It was homecoming and everyone was at my house. And I mean everyone.
We lived in a small town meaning all of our parents were friends and our house was the biggest so we were hosting everyone.
My family, Marilyn & her mother, Kali and her parents (and their new baby), Tanner, his little brothers and parents, Anthony and his parents and his sister (and her date) and the girl Matt was taking to homecoming.
So there was a total of 28 people running around my home. There was also 8 of us rushing to get ready.
"Eric doesn't have a date?" Kali asked while we were doing our make up.
"Nope" I hum.
"I wonder why" Marilyn said to herself and I smirked at her. She knew why.
Eric tried to ask her at school during the week but panicked and made some excuse about asking her to help him study.
"I can't believe Tony is gonna have a black eye for the dance! You must be so upset that he's gonna ruin the photos" Kali said and I rolled my eyes.
So superficial...
"I'm more upset about the fact that my boyfriend has a black eye" I said and Marilyn smirked at me this time.
I've started referring to him as my boyfriend more to make it seem real.
"Thanks for letting me go with Tanner tonight Summer!" Kali squealed and I cringed.
"God Kali. Stop thanking her. She doesn't care about him anymore" Marilyn rolled her eyes.
"Who doesn't care about who anymore?" Eric asked while walking into my room with Tanner.
"Oh you know-"
"Where's Anthony?" I snapped. I didn't feel like being surrounded by them.
"Calm yourself. He's threatening Harper's date" Eric snorted.
"Poor kid" I hummed while pushing past Tanner and searching the house for my fake boyfriend.
"And if you hurt her-"
"I'll hurt you" I finished for Anthony.
"You don't want to get jumped by Eastview's hottest couple right?" Anthony smirked at the poor Freshman standing in front of him.
"Okay stop it guys" Harper rolled her eyes and dragged the kid away from us and into the kitchen.
"You look nice" Anthony smiled.
"And you look like a delinquent" I stared at him. He was wearing a tux. He would usually look like someone who should be wearing a tux but the black eye wasn't fitting.
Click
"Mom" I groaned. "Can't you wait?"
"No! You guys look so cute! Gemma! Come look at our children!" She called for Anthony's mom.
Click
"Mom" Anthony rolled his eyes.
"This one is going in the slide show!" His mom squealed.
"What slide show?" I furrowed my eyebrows.
"The slide show Anthony, Gemma and I are making for your wedding" Mom smiled at the camera.
"Wedding?" I all but yelled.
"Mhm" Anthony nodded while looking at the picture.
"What did I get myself into" I groaned and wondered back to my room.
Anthony was always like this. He had spent our childhood teasing me about my hair, crooked teeth, eyes etc. and then when we grew out of that phase he started teasing me by making romantic comments. Like calling me 'Sunshine.' It would make sense that he would step up the game now that we were fake dating.
Finally after an hour of taking photos of everyone, we finally left for homecoming.
"Wait I got you something" Anthony stopped me from walking inside the gymnasium.
"Huh?" I stopped and looked over at the corsage he was holding.
"I know you liked this sorta thing so I got you one" Anthony rubbed the back of his neck.
"It's so pretty" I smiled. "Why didn't you give it to me at the house?"
"Everyone was taking pictures and I didn't want to turn it into some joke about us getting married" Anthony smiled.
"Thanks Anthony"
Homecoming went on like it usually did. Dancing, underage drinking, stupid comments from Anthony, but before I knew it I was getting bored with it. I had that problem. Dances would be fun at first and then it would just get boring and I would just want to leave.
"You're bored aren't you?" Anthony laughed from next to me.
"I'm not" I lied.
"You're making your bored face" He laughed.
"I don't have a bored face" I laughed.
"Yeah you do, it looks like this" Anthony made an ugly frowning face and I smacked his shoulder.
"Come on" Anthony abruptly stood up and grabbed my hand.
"We can't leave!"
"We aren't. We just aren't staying in here" He pulled me out the doors that lead to the football field.
Only a few lights were on so we could see the stars perfectly.
"Wow" I breath.
"I like to come out here to think" Anthony laughed at me expression.
"Wanna dance?" He asked after a few minutes of silence.
"You wanna go back inside?" I look back at him.
"No. We can still hear the music out here" He smiled. "C'mon"
He pulled me off the bleachers and lead me into the field. And before I knew it, he was twirling me around to the muffled sounds of Perfect by Ed Sheeran.
"You know, Eric is gonna be searching for us" I laughed as he pulled me into his arms.
"You know, Eric is probably making out with Marilyn right about now" Anthony chuckled.
"Eric couldn't even ask her to the dance" I laughed.
"True" Anthony breathed a laugh.
"Wanna hear something weird?"
"Hm" He hummed his response.
"Tara was really nice to me at the football game. I thought she would have been more territorial since we're dating" I leaned back and looked up at him.
"Yeah that's weird" He whispered, staring down at me.
His eyes flicked down before they returned to my eyes.
"Summer" He breathed out.
"Yeah?" I whispered.
"I-"
"I found them!" I heard Kali yell and I jumped- hitting Anthony's mouth with my forehead.
"Ow" Anthony yelped. "What the hell do you want?" He snapped at Kali and Tanner who were standing by the doors.
"We're going to the party now" Tanner rolled his eyes.
He was going to kiss me. But that was only because he knew Kali and Tanner were there, right? Right?
