Sorry It took so long to post this you guys. This chapter picks up with Dave telling Alli how he really feels. Keep reading the story is going to get even better.
Alli had just told Dave how she felt about him, now she was waiting in anticipation for his response.
Dave: "Alli I...I like you too. Actually, I've liked you for a while now. I was just too chicken to admit it." he said.
Alli: "I'm so glad that you feel the same way. So where do we go from here?" she exclaimed.
Dave: "Maybe we should go out on a date." he says as he starts fidgeting with his clothes.
Alli: "Maybe we should. Let's go see a movie on Friday." she says as she plays with her hair.
Dave: "Cool. I'm down with that. It's getting late, so I'll just see you at school tomorrow. We can talk at lunch about our date." he says.
All: "Okay, goodnight Dave." she says with a huge smile on her face.
Dave: "Goodnight Alli." he says as he hangs up the phone.
Dave's POV: Hell yeah, I got a date with the cutest girl in grade nine.
It's Thursday morning, Alli woke up extra early today so that she could make sure she was on her a game. She wanted to look extra cute when she saw Dave at school. She searched the back of her closet until she found the perfect outfit. She pulled out a cute mini skirt, spaghetti strap shirt and wedge heels. She then put them into her backpack because there was no way that her parents would let her leave the house like that. He parents were very strict when it came to her clothes. They wanted her in long sleeve shirts and foot length skirts. But, she knew how to get around her parents rules. That's why she changed her clothes everyday when she got to school.
I walked into Degrassi and immediately ran to the nearest restroom to change my clothes. I had to make sure that I was looking hot when I saw Dave. She finished putting on her makeup, walked out of the restroom and headed towards her locker, where Claire was anxiously waiting for her.
Claire: "Hey Alli, so what happened last night? she said eagerly waiting for Alli's response.
Alli: "I told Dave that I liked him and then he said that he liked me too! Actually he told me that he has liked me for a long time." she said.
Claire: "Well duh, I knew he liked you because he was always staring at you in class when you weren't looking." she says as she took her chemistry book out of her locker.
Alli: "Really I never noticed, probably because I was too hung up on Johnny." she said as her and Claire began to walk to class.
Claire: "Yeah you were pretty hooked on him. Has he said anything else to you lately?" she said with a worried look on her face.
Alli: "No, but every now and then I catch him staring at me. It's no big deal thou. I'm not going to worry about it anymore. Eventually he'll get over me. Guess what?" she says hoping to change the mood.
Claire: "What!" she says before Mrs. Kwan tells her and Alli to be quiet.
Alli: "Dave and I are going on a date!" she says in a quiet voice.
Claire: "That's great. I'm so happy for you Alli." she says quickly so Mrs. Kwan doesn't notice her.
Alli: "You should come over after school and help me pick out an outfit!" she says.
Mrs. Kwan: "Alli since you can't be quiet in my class, maybe you would rather spend some extra time in school." she said as she slipped a detention notice on Alli's desk.
Alli's POV: My parents are going to kill me if they find out that I got another detention. This is the forth detention that I've gotten this year. If they find out, they'll never let me out of the house again. Luckily I have a plan. I've lied to my parents so many times, that this time shouldn't be any different and if I can't tell them, then I'll just forge my father's signature. I really don't like keeping things from my parents, but they just don't understand what it's like to be a teenager.
The bell rung and Claire and Alli got up and walked to the lunchroom.
Alli: "Can you believe it? I got another detention." she said while looking at her friend.
Claire: "Your parents are not going to be pleased, Alli." she said with a serious look on her face.
Alli: "Yeah I know that's why I'm not going to tell them." she said.
Claire: "How could they not find out? Wait, you're not going to forge their signatures are you?" she said with a smirk on her face.
Alli: "You know me so well, Claire. I promise this will be the only time that I forge their signatures. They can't find out about this or I'll be grounded forever." she exclaimed.
Claire and Alli walked into the cafeteria to find Dave waiting for them.
Dave: "Hello Claire, Hey Alli." he said while focusing on Alli.
Alli: "Hey Dave." she said with a sad look on her face.
Dave: "What's wrong?" he said hoping it had nothing to do with Johnny.
Alli: "It's nothing; I just got another detention from Mrs. Kwan. But, let's not talk about that. Instead, let's talk about our date." she said with a smirk on her face.
Dave: "How about we go see "Iron Man", I heard it's funny and packed with action." he said hoping she would agree.
Alli: "Sounds like a plan. Let's meet at the theater at 6:30." she said looking deeply into Dave's eyes.
Dave: "I can't wait. Any time spent with you is time well spent." he said while giving Alli a killer smile.
Lunch was over and Claire, Alli, Conner and Dave went to their next class.
Alli and Claire began walking to their Media Immersion class.
Claire: "So you excited about your date with Dave?" she says while looking at Alli.
Alli: "Of course, I'm excited. Since I have detention today, can you come to my house after school tomorrow to help me pick out the perfect outfit?" she exclaims.
Claire: "Sure, Alli." she says while walking into the Media Immersion room.
While in class, Alli is trying to focus on the teacher, but she finds herself thinking about what could happen on her date with Dave. She wonders if he would try to make a move on her. She wouldn't mind because she knew he was a gentleman and he wouldn't do anything that she wasn't ready for.
Class came to an end and it was time for Alli to go to detention yet again. She walks into the room and is shocked to see none other than Johnny Dimarco.
Alli's POV: I don't know why I was so shocked to see him because after we broke up, he started getting into trouble again. I hope I can get through these two hours without having to speak to him.
I look for a seat that is far away from Johnny, but there are so many people there that I only have two choices. I could either sit in front of him or beside him. I decide to take the seat in front of him, so I wouldn't have to look at him.
Johnny: "Alli, Alli." he whispers trying to get her attention.
Alli: "I told you to leave me alone, Johnny." she said quickly so that the teacher wouldn't catch her talking.
Johnny: "I miss you, a lot." he said.
Alli: "Well, you should have thought about that before you lied to me and betrayed me." she said as she turned around to face him.
Johnny: "Your right, I'm sorry. How many times do I have to apologize before you take me back? I need you in my life." he said desperately.
Alli: "We can't be together. It won't work out. And besides I like...never mind." she said as she turned back around.
Johnny: "Like I said before Alli, if I can't have you...then no one can even Dave Turner." he said.
Alli: "How did you know that I liked Dave?" she said with a curious look on her face.
Johnny: "Well I didn't actually, you just told me. Alli, he'll never love you like I love you. I tried to forget about you, but I couldn't. I'm not going to give up on you just yet. I know you still love me." he said.
Alli was speechless. She could tell him that they would never be together again, but he wouldn't care. He would just keep trying until he got her back.
Alli: "You'll find another girl, someone closer to your age." she said with a reassuring look.
Johnny: "I don't want another girl, I want you and I'm going to get you." he said so she couldn't hear him.
Detention was finally over and Alli walked out of the classroom, she didn't go to her locker or anywhere else. She wanted to get home quickly before Johnny could even exit the doors of Degrassi. She didn't want to give him a chance of following her home, so she took off running. She ran so fast that she surprised herself with her speed. She got to her doorstep, pulled on her long skirt and sweatshirt and entered her house. Her parents immediately questioned her about her whereabouts, but she simply told them that she stayed at school to finish a school project with Claire. And like usual, they believed anything that she told them.
