During lunch, Bloom asked me to go shopping with her. I tried to get out of it, but of course it didn't work. So here I am, in this stupid store with stupid clothes. I didn't even bother to remember the name of it. Bloom is trying every single piece on, and in the mean time drags me into it. I even tried on a shirt that reaches far above the bellybutton. Bloom wants me to get it, but I think I'll pass; it'll only be a waste of money.
We walked out of the store chatting, it seemed there was more about Bloom than what meets the eye. True, she stays a shopping, gossiping maniac, but I even laughed a couple of times, too bad she isn't this nice at school. I guess everyone here has a reputation to uphold.
"Oh my GOD!" Bloom squealed.
"What is it?" I asked
"I just spotted the most perfect, divine human being!" She said while waving her hands frantically above her head.
"Really, where?" I asked a bit sceptic. Probably just another normal teenage boy.
"There! Isn't he perfect?!" She said and pointed somewhere to our right.
I followed her finger and looked into the distance. At first I just saw a lot of people.
But that was when I saw him.
There was no mistake.
His long, flowing, blue/blackish hair.
His gentle look.
His hot body.
It was Helia.
Before I could stop her, Bloom started walking towards him. Oh no. What do I do?
My brain left me in those few seconds. So I did the first thing I could think of.
I ran away.
I ran all the way to my house. I opened the door, went upstairs and collapsed on my bed.
I'm dead tired, but that's not one of my biggest problems. Let's make a list
I saw Helia again
I ran away without saying goodbye. What will they think of me at school?
Since when do I care about that?
What will happen when Bloom invites Helia to anything?
I sighed. I'm so screwed.
BEEP. BEEP.
Oh no, it's my cell phone.
"Hello?" I answer, still a bit out of breath because of the long run.
"Flora? It's me, Bloom, where are you?" I heard Bloom say on the other side of the line.
"I'm at my home. I just remembered I had to be home before 6 and I was already late, so I ran all the way back. I'm sorry for not mentioning it, but my parents are very old fashioned when it comes to this, so I guess I panicked a little." I answered, amazed at my own skills of lying. I was getting very good at it lately.
"Oh, that sucks. Hey, remember that guy I met?" She said excited
"Y-yeah, why?" I asked, very nervous.
"Well, his name is Helia and he's so cool! We're going on a date this Saturday!" She squealed, as usual
"Really? Great for you!" I said, but inwardly I cursed. If they hang out together a lot, there's bound to be a time for me to 'meet' him.
"I know! It's so totally awesome! But the weird thing is, that when I figured out you were gone, he seemed really interested in you." She said
"Oh really? I wonder why." I said. Yeah right, like I don't know
"Yeah, so anyway, I figured we could schedule a double date! I already asked Riven to come too." She said
"Why Riven?" I asked confused
"Oh come on, do you actually think I haven't seen the two of you looking at each other?" She said.
Okay, I'm really confused now. Me and Riven? No way.
"Well then, you've seen more than I have." I said
"You think? Because Riven really jumped on the chance to go out on a date with you." She said
I blushed. I didn't see that one coming. What would Riven want with me?
"Flora? You still there?" She asked
"Uh, yeah, sorry." I said
"So it's a date?" She asked
"I guess so." I answered
"Great! I'll see you next Saturday, 8 pm in front of the Bake & Grill restaurant. See ya girl! Toodles!" And with that, she hung up.
