Pressure
A couple days pass…
It’s finally Friday, which also means; DATE NIGHT. Ariana ended up finding me a possible “date.” Apparently it’s a boy, but I told her I’m not ready for that yet. AND I still haven’t told Logan about my “new” self yet. I just need to find a good time to tell him…but I don’t think there’s anyway to segue gracefully into that topic of conversation.
At school, Arianna & I are standing by my locker watching Logan talk to Smiley Mandy from my first period. Logan sees us staring, and he waves at us, then walks over with her.
Ariana: Looks someone has a date for tonight
Log: You’d be correct, my friend
Me: Looks like it * I try to say excitedly for him*
Mandy: *giggles & turns to me* Hi Kendall!
Me: Sup Smiley—Mandy, hi *I wave at her*
L: You two know each other?
Me: Yeah we—
Mandy: We’re in first period English together, its suuuuper great, right Ken?
Me: *I cringe at her overly peppiness* Oh yeah, IT’S SUPER
A: *covers her mouth & hides her laugh*
L: So did youuu guys find dates?
A: I have an idea of who I want
L: Cool. And you man?
Me: UH, yeah, same here *I slap his chest playfully with the back of my hand* No worries AT ALL
L: *raises his eyebrows & gives me a smile* Sweet. Hey um, I was going to escort Mandy to her first period
Mandy: Wanna come, Ken?
Me: Uh, I’ll be there in a sec
L: Kay see yaaa
Me: Okay bye-bye *I say quickly*
A: *gives them a big smile* Bye guuuys *slaps my arm when they disappear around the corner*
Me: Stop thaaat
A: You liiiiie
Me: Hey. I’ll tell him when I’m ready, okay?
A: *gives me a pouty look*
Me: You thought THAT was a good time?!
A: Ugh. Fine. Whatever
Me: Jeeze *I rub my arm* And you hurt my arm, woman
A: *snorts out a little laugh* Sorry *tries to pat my arm*
Me: No touch-y *I start to walk away from her & she follows me*
A: No let me make it better *laughs*
Me: Stop iiiit *I paw her away*
A: *chuckles* Quit your whining, boy
Me: *I stick my tongue out at her*
A: *sticks her tongue back out at me*
*The bell rings for class*
Me: I’ll see ya later girlie
A: Byyyye *turns around & jogs to her classroom*
* I turn around to rush to my class, but instead, I run into Alex.
Alex: Watch it ya pansy!
I shake my head at him & see his girlfriend, Angela behind him—the one I went out with, which totally pissed him off—she waves at me while giving me a sad look.
Angela: Hi Kendall
I wave back with a really confused expression & then dash to my first period.
Today in English class, Mr. Hayes caught me and Drew doing our different accents game during our Shakespeare reading. He told us both to stop doing the class activity and to write a page on why Shakespeare’s so “great.” Mr. Hayes takes everything way too seriously, and obviously likes to make my classroom time with him purposely torture. But as long as Drew’s here, next to me, and our elbows are touching every few minutes, the torture lessens. As Drew and I write our “amazing” pages on Shakespeare, we keep looking at each other holding in our laughter over the whole situation.
After class, Drew & I walk out together, talking about how bad the pages we wrote are.
Drew: Dude, I swear he’s out to get us; cause that “punishment” he gave us was so ridiculous
Me: I just think he needs to get laid
Drew: My thoughts exactly! *laughs & gently punches my arm*
Me: *I slow my laughter down & stare at him* Hey, um, so…are you going to the Carnival, tonight?
Drew: Totes man
Me: *I try not to look the least awkward while speaking* Got a hot date?
Drew: Ohhh yes; you?
Me: *I try not to look as upset as I feel* Haven’t really found one yet
Drew: So you’re out on the search still?
Me: Yup. All this week *I shake my head sadly*
Drew: Bro, I could hook you up…if you’d like…?
Me: *I give him a slow look* Sooounds good to me
Drew: *grins* Cool man. I think I know who… *looks around & makes eye-contact with a girl. He calls her over to us* Hey Alison!
Alison: *she stops talking to her friends & walks over to us* Hey Drew *gives him a flirty smile then looks over at me*
Me: *I wave while clenching my jaw*
Ali: Who’s your cute friend?
Drew: Glad you like him. Wanna be his date for the Carnival?
Ali: *flips her hair* Sure *brushes her bangs away from her face*
Me: Sure?
Ali: Mmm hm *nods her head*
Drew: Well that settles that! I’ll see YOU two at the Carnival
Ali: *caressing my arm*
Me: *I raise an eyebrow at her then look at Drew* Youuu betcha
Drew: *smiles* Well, catch ya lata’!
Ali: Bye Drew
Me: *I frown watching him leave*
Ali: *makes me face her by grabbing my chin* YOU are too cute *growls playfully* Don’t let this face fool ya. I’m not- that- innocent *blows me a kiss then walks away*
Me: *I put my hand over my face* Why meee?
*I wipe my forehead from sweating & head to my second period class; dreading until tonight comes*
