Take Me Out Tonight

Elle took a deep breath. She could do this. I mean, come on, it was obvious Emmett was into her. He seemed to stare at her, talk to her constantly, and always laughed at her jokes. Those were ways of hard core flirting, according to Seventeen Magazine's article on how to tell if your crush wants you. And Elle, unable to remember a time when Seventeen was wrong, decided to take the magazines advice and flirt back.

During class whenever Emmett would look at her, Elle would meet his gaze for a moment, bite her lip and then quickly glance down. She had hoped that he would take a hint and ask her out, but after a week Elle decided to take matters into her own hands. One Friday as soon as class was out Elle rushed out of the room and leaned against the wall. As usual Emmett was the last to emerge.

"Hey there stranger." Elle smirked and hugged her books tightly to her chest.

Emmett turned around in suprise but smiled none-the-less at his best friend."Whoa, hey Little Miss Woods Comma Elle, whatcha need?"

"I was just wondering if you'd like to go out tonight?" Elle asked with a bright smile, already hearing the yes in her mind. Emmett however didn't look so thrilled. His normal grin was replaced with an "Oh Shit" frown. "Omigod...I can't Elle I'm sorry."

"Well why not?" Elle asked raising an eyebrow.

Emmett shifted his weight to his other foot uneasily. "I...I have a date." He was trying not to stutter.

Elle tried to hide the hurt look on her face. She knew she should have made a move sooner. How dumb could she be? She blew her only chance with him. "Oh." She said softly. "What's her name?" Elle then asked, trying to sound interested.

"Kyle." He replied barely above a whisper.

Elle nodded and turn to leave with what was left of her dignity. "Okay...you two have-wait WHAT?" She asked twirling back around. "You're...you're..."

"Gay?" Emmett offered quietly, looking down and shoving his hands into the pockets of his cortaroy jacket. Elle blinked a few times, to make sure she wasn't hallucinating. Her best friend and crush was gay? Talk about akward! Elle tried to think back to an article in Seventeen about what to say when you learned your crush was gay. She couldn't think of one.

"Oh...well okay..." Elle said slowly, pushing some blonde hair out of her face.

Emmett looked up slightly. "You know, if you wanted you could tag along with us tonight. We're going to The Drunken Monkey in downtown Boston." He offered with a small smile.

Elle shook her head. "No, that's okay, I'd feel like a third wheel. I'll just talk to you on Monday, okay?" She told him, turning and starting for her dorm.

"Yeah okay, but if you change your mind we're under the name O'Boyle!" Emmett called after her. He stood there for a moment watching her walk away. He hoped he didn't hurt her feelings too bad.
