"Don't kill me" was the first thing I heard emerging from my mouth.
Connie just stared at me dumbfounded.
"Why would I kill you" she asked innocently.
Ï find myself unable to answer her question.
"Averman?" she prompts.
"Huh?" I momentarily forget what it was that I was meant to say.
Oh yeah, right.
Üm" seems to be the only thing coming out.
"Averman is everything alright? You kinda seem stranger than usual" Connie tried joking with me.
"Um Cons, we've been friends for a while right?" I decide to use the but I'm your friend approach.
"Yeah" Connie agrees.
"Well if I told someone something that wasn't quite true you'd still be my friend right?" I know I'm stalling but I honestly can't help it.
"Yeah of course, does this have a point?" Connie asks me and now I can see this is starting to get her frustrated.
"Well Amber Foster kinda asked me out" I began
"Aves that's great! Julie said she had a crush on you" Connie smiled.
"Yeah but I said no cos I don't wanna go out with her and I kinda told her that you were my girlfriend, I'm sorry please don't kill me"
There, I've said it.
I subconsciously squint my eyes shut.
Now waiting for the pain to come in.
Connie didn't answer straight away. I cautiously open one eye and am surprised to see her with her 'thinking face' on.
"WHAT!" she screeched after what seemed like an eternity of silence.
"I'm sorry!" I blurted out praying her fist wasn't going to fly out at my face.
"Why?" Connie just asked me the million dollar question.
"Well you were the first person I thought of" I replied in my defence.
Connie was looking at something just past my shoulder and amazed the both of us when she said.
"Älright, I'll agree to it, but you have to take me somewhere nice" she replied.
"Ërrr okay" I replied stunned.
CONNIE'S POVOh my god did I just agree to pretend to be Averman's girlfriend?
Okay so I'll admit it, I only agreed to do it because I spied Guy and his precious Karen sucking face at his locker and I was jealous.
I finally meet Averman's eyes and he seems shocked. Can't say I blame him, I've just shocked myself too.
So the next thing I know I'm telling him he has to take me somewhere nice.
Wow! Did I just organize a date with him too?
Oh man, what am I getting myself into?
