ANOTHER UPDATE YAY!
DON'T FORGET TO VOTE AND COMMENT TEEHEE!
Dear Diary,
Yesterday I couldn't sleep all night.
I kept thinking about Cole and how I made him look like an idiot.
HE FREAKING ASKED ME ON A DATE!
And I told him I was dating that jackass, arrogant basketball player/asshole who has a crush on my best friend and also probably has a small peepee.
"So, is Hero good in bed?" I almost spit my water out when I heard Megan asking me that question at lunch.
How am I supposed to answer that?
"How are you suddenly so invested in my sex life?" I fired back. "You never asked me about any of this before"
"Well, because you've never had a boyfriend before"
"Well, maybe you should have asked if I had"
My words made a confused look appear on her face. She looked like she was thinking about it. "I've never had, huh?"
I shrugged.
"I'm sorry. I should have showed more interest. You are always there for me"
I raised my eyebrows in surprise.
Was that an apology?
I smiled. "Thank you"
And suddenly I could see why I was friends with Megan. She had something in her that she knew how to hide well. She didn't let any other people see it. Some time she wasn't even letting herself see it.
But it was there. She just needed some pushing.
"So, Cole..." she smirked and I could immediately feel myself blushing at his name.
"What about him?" I tried to play it cool.
"You guys look like you have history. Is there something I should know about?"
"Nahh..." I lowered my head. "He is just a good friend"
"He asked you on a date"
"Who asked her on a date?" that annoying voice of this idiot I was calling my fake boyfriend said.
I seriously wanted to punch him lately. I wanted to kick him in the nuts for getting me into this.
But when I turned around to look at Hero, I stayed there in awe.
He was looking at me with a smile while holding a blue rose.
"Do I need to beat up someone?" he said.
Megan laughed. "Sit down pretty boy. She turned him down"
"Good" he said and then sat down next to me. But I was still sitting there looking at the flower.
"Where did you get this?" I whispered.
"I found a small flower shop outside of town that sells them. I would have gotten you a whole bouquet but it was the last one" he pressed his lips together. "Here" he offered it to me.
I slowly took it, still looking at the beautiful flower.
"It's your favorite, right? Did I get it wrong?" he asked because I wasn't saying anything.
"How did you know it was my favorite?" I finally looked at him.
"Remember when we used to walk together at your brother's house after school? And then we would just sit in the porch and talk? I remember you telling me this was your favorite flower but you couldn't find blue roses anywhere" my lips parted at his confession.
"Well..." he bit his lip. "I found one" he whispered.
"Hero..." I chocked. I didn't know what to say.
How did he remember that?
"You said your brother kept bringing you one of those every week when you were little. But when he moved out he wasn't doing that anymore" he explained.
I haven't seen my brother in so long, I actually wanted to tear up.
"How about I bring you one every week instead?" he asked with a smile. "Would you like that?"
At this I let out a tear and nodded.
"Hey, you are crying" he asked concerned. Next thing I knew he was lifting my chin with his fingers. He looked straight into my eyes and he whispered "the rose matches your eyes"
I let out a sob. "My brother used to say that" I whispered back.
His hands moved to either side of my face so I could look at him. "How are you so beautiful even when you cry?"
Well, there goes my heart.
I couldn't look at him anymore or I might have done something stupid like lean in, close my eyes, and brush my lips against his or something.
So I put my hands around his neck and pulled him for a hug.
"Thank you" I whispered.
Instead of answering he pulled me closer to him and I felt him smiling against my neck.
"Ugh, you guys are making me sick" Megan said suddenly. I didn't even realize she was still sitting there. "I need to leave before you start making out or something. Oh is that Cole over there? He looks uneasy. I'll go see if he needs a new friend" she stood up.
"Aren't you and Nate getting back together?" I fired not even caring if Hero, the guy who had a crush on her, was listening.
"I'm just looking for a friend, Jo. Don't let it get into your head" she said. "Anyway, toodles!" she said and skipped happily to Cole's direction.
She went to him and waved at him as she started playing with her hair and talking.
She was definitely flirting with him.
I felt my heart burn.
Cole looked uncomfortable as he tried to look around and not at Megan. He was probably the only guy who would toss an opportunity to talk to her.
Poor Cole.
His eyes finally landed on me and I immediately shivered. He smiled shyly waving a hand and I did the same. Megan didn't look very happy with that.
"Hey, I'm talking to you" Hero clapped his hands in front of me and I finally took my eyes away from Cole. "You are being pretty obvious, Jo. Can you at least look at me while I'm talking to you? We're supposed to be dating. You didn't see me staring at Megan's boobs while I was giving you that rose, did you?"
I sighed. "Sorry" I only said.
What if Cole falls for Megan too? I won't take it.
"By the way, did you notice if she was jealous or not? I tried to look at you with heart eyes as much as I could, but it's not that easy to look at you like that, Langford. I deserve a medal" he laughed.
And at this, the moment was gone.
He was indeed an asshole.
I slapped his arm and I was about to leave but he caught mine and made me sit down again.
"Chill, I'm joking, jeez"
I looked back at Cole and Megan. Cole was talking now and Megan was pretending to listen to him while touching his arm. I gritted my teeth just as Cole's head turned to my direction again.
Again, he smiled and waved at me and I did the same.
"Can you stop?" Hero slapped my hand down angrily, so I wouldn't wave at him. "When you are with me, you won't be looking at another guy"
"You need to chill" I told him, smelling the blue rose in my hands once again.
He pressed his lips together. "Okay, they are both looking now, let's kiss"
And then he came closer, grabbing my face.
Okay, what the fuck? At this point I was questioning if my life was real or if I was actually in the Matrix.
"Excuse me, no" I said while putting my fingers on his lips so I could push him away.
He looked at me confused, while he removed my hand from his lips. "Why? Couples kiss all the time! And we need to make it believable. She is looking. Right now is the best opportunity"
"I agreed to fake date you, not to kiss you"
"Kissing is part of the dating"
"Yeah, but I don't want my first time kissing someone to be fake, okay?" I said before I could even control it.
He let out a breath. "Oh" he only said.
I lowered my head.
"You haven't kissed anyone?"
"It's not that big of a deal"
He gulped. "Yeah, of course it isn't" he stuttered. "I should have know. I'm sorry for even asking you"
I actually didn't expect that reaction off him.
He suddenly groaned. "Aiden's here. I gotta go" he stood up.
"Wait, you guys aren't talking?" I asked.
"If he wants to go behind my back and make out with the girl I like, then he doesn't deserve me to be his friend. He's lucky I haven't beaten his ass yet"
Aiden passed by our table and looked like he wanted to say something but he didn't. Regret was covering his face.
"Are you actually that mad about it?"
He shrugged. "I don't really know" he admitted. "Oh fuck he's looking. Okay, I'm leaving" he said but before he did he leaned in, grabbed my chin and kissed me in the corner of my lips, mostly my cheek but it still made me blush. He had his back on Cole and Megan so I know to them it looked like we were actually kissing.
"Still gotta put on a show, babe" he whispered and winked at me before he turned around to leave.
"Oh, wait" he turned back to me. "Two shows" he corrected.
Which reminded me.
We have our first rehearsals for the play on Friday.
Which means Cole and I doing our scenes together and having to talk to each other.
Oh boy.
