I wake up Friday morning and decide to wear something sort of nice. I choose a floral high waisted skirt and a black long sleeve shirt. I pair it with black pumps.
I go downstairs and I'm surprised to see Cameron. I thought he had football.
"What are you doing here?" I ask.
"I decided to stay with you today." He smiles. He hands me a plate off eggs and bacon.
"I made it myself" He smiles.
I nod and laugh a bit.
"And I hate cooking, I'm horrible" He adds.
"So, should I eat this?" I laugh.
"It should be fine." He laughs along. He takes a bite out of bacon and nods. "I think it's fine"
I giggle and take a forkful of eggs. It actually is really good.
When we're done eating, we get in his car and head to school.
We separate and I go to my first class. To my surprise, Claire sits next to me.
"I'll explain later" She whispers before class starts.
I swear that at that moment, nothing can wipe the smile off of my face. I don't feel alone anymore.
We sit together during all our classes, hardly talking, but I don't mind. I know she's not mad at me anymore and I'm so happy.
We go to lunch and sit together. "Okay now let me explain" she says after swallowing a huge bite of her hamburger.
I nod waiting anxiously as she slowly takes another bite.
"Well, I thought about everything that happened, and I realize I have no right to be mad at you. If anyone should be mad, you should. I completely over reacted. I imagined if I had a secret like that and realized that I wouldn't really... well want to tell anyone either. Even if it was my best friend."
I smile and hug her. I'm glad we can be friends again.
I begin eating my hamburger while Claire almost finishes hers.
When Claire goes to throw her plate away, Lucas comes behind me.
"You haven't been on the bus in a while" He smiles at me.
"I uh, I, Cameron's been home." I stutter because of how attractive he is.
"Oh, well are we still on for our date tonight?"
I completely forgot about that. I thought he wouldn't even want to go after what I said, I thought he's judge me like everyone else.
"Um, Yeah sure." I smile nervously.
"You don't sound so sure" He winks.
"I-" I start but I'm cut off by a giggly voice.
"Lukie!" Taylor yells to Lucas.
"Tay, uh, this is-"
"Maddie" She says in a harsh tone rolling her eyes.
"I forgot you knew each other..." He says
"I wish I didn't" She smirks at me.
I roll my eyes at her. "I'm sure" I change my expression to a smile towards Lucas. He smiles back while Taylor glares at us.
"Well, see you tonight?" Lucas asks.
I nod. "See you tonight"
He walks away smiling with Taylor who still has a dirty look plastered on her face.
I decide to ignore it. Claire comes back and we decide to go to our lockers.
"What was that about?" She asks as were on our way.
"Uh, well I have a date with him tonight." I say quietly.
"A date!?" She exclaims.
"Shh!" I scold her.
"Sorry." She giggles.
"Well yeah, I do, but I think Taylor has a thing for him now."
"Oh." She says quietly.
We arrive at our next class and the conversation is over. The rest of the school day flies by, and before I know it, I'm being driven home by Cameron.
"So, what do you plan on doing tonight?" Cameron asks as we near the house.
"Well, I have a date."
"A date?" He asks, his eyes widening.
I nod.
"With who?" He asks.
"Lucas."
"That guy from the bus?"
"Yeah" I respond. I'm wondering why he's acting so weird.
"Where is it?"
"Not sure"
"Your going on a date with some guy and you don't even know where your going?!" He asks.
"Why are you acting so weird?"
"I'm not!" He yells.
"What's wrong with me going on a date?"
"I just don't like that guy." He sighs.
He pulls up into the driveway.
"Well you better go get ready."
I get out of the car and slam the door.
