Chapter 10

It was Wednesday night.....

and Hoagie still hasn't picked a song.

"Hurry up, Hoagie!" Rachel, Hoagie and I were at Jim's records where Hoagie was deciding a song to play for Fanny.

"Hold on, RACHEL!"

"Jesus fucking Christ can you just hurry the fuck up!"

"What? You gotta hott date with Mr. Uno? Too bad he's too busy for you!" Nigel was currently working on one his many AP course projects.

"At least I got the one I want!"

"May I remind you that Nigel asked you!"

"I don't see Fanny coming to you!"

"Fuck you, bitch!"

"Just pick a Goddamn song!"

"It's not that easy!"

"Yes it is! You're just indecisive!"

"No! I just can't chose while you're yelling at me!"

"Why can't we just do this at my house?! So I can close up the shop!"

"'Cause your mom hates me and Wally!"

"Maybe its because you eat all her food fat ass!"

"Me!? Check in the mirror Rachel!"

"FUCK YOU 2! Let's just go to my house and Hoagie can look at my music...or Rachel's zune! Kuki said she was coming over anyway!" I yelled.

They've been doing that for about 20 minutes now and I was officially tired of it. Some might call me tolerant.

"We're not going to your house to watch you 2 make out!" Rachel yelled back.

I groaned, "I promise to keep the PDA to a minimum, or if it gets you 2 to shut up, I won't even kiss her."

Rachel sighed, "I'm in. Hoagie?"

Hoagie began to close the program on the computer, "Fine. But just so you guys know. This song has to be perfect."

"We know," Rachel nodded her tone softened, "And I'm sorry for being such a bitch."

"I'm sorry too."

"Great," I rolled my eyes, "Now that we're all friends again, can we go to my home? My room. Where my girlfriend currently is."

"You're an idiot for inviting us instead of spending alone time with Kuki," Hoagie shook his head, "She's gonna kill you."

"Well you need a song by tomorrow," I explained, "And Kooks isn't like that."

He nodded and clapped his hands, "Well let's get a move on, Rachel!"

Rachel flipped him off as she began to close up.

"Why is this so difficult for you, Hoagie?"

Kuki sitting on the floor against the side of my bed playing with my fingers. She was pretty annoyed with the lack of alone time we were getting.

Rachel chuckled. She was laying on my bed playing with Paul.

Hoagie was on my computer looking through my music, "Because Kuki, not everyone can be as suave and silky and good with words as your boyfriend."

"Suave and silky?" Rachel began to laugh at Hoagie's word choices.

Hoagie turned the chair around, "Shut the fuck up Rachel."

"Sorry," She apologized, "How about you tell us why you love Fanny and we'll try to come up with a good song based on your emotions."

"Hoagie. She's gonna say yes even if you sing Rick Astley's 'Never Give You Up'," Kuki stated.

I looked at her questioningly, "What makes you say that?"

"In study hall she was listening to her I-pod," Kuki began to explain, "And she was listening to 'Adore'. That Paramore B-side. On repeat."

"Really?" Rachel sat up.

Kuki looked up at her and nodded.

"Shit Hoagie," Rachel smiled, "She's gonna say yes."

"I don't get it," Hoagie looked confused. And truth be told, I was too.

"Have you ever heard that song before?"

Hoagie shook his head.

Rachel pulled out her Zune and went to my computer to grab my speakers. She pulled out both of them from the back of my computer. She then plugged it in to the Zune. She was going through it when suddenly music began to play. The chick's voice began to sing.

I don't mean to run
But every time you come around
I feel more alive, than ever
And I guess it's too much
Maybe we're too young
And I don't even know whats real
But I know I've never

Wanted anything so bad
I've never wanted anyone so bad

If I let you love me
Be the one I adore
Would you go all the way?
Be the one I'm looking for
If i let you love me
Be the one I adore
Would you go all the way?
Be the One I'm looking for

Help me come back down
From high above the clouds
You know I'm suffocating, but I blame this town
Why do I deny?
The things that burn inside,
Down deep I'm barley breathing
But you just see a smile

And I don't wanna let this go
Really I just want to know

If I let you love me
Be the one I adore
Would you go all the way?
Be the one I'm looking for
If i let you love me
Be the one I adore?
Would you go all the way
Be the One I'm looking for

If I let you love me
Be the one I adore
Would you go all the way?
Be the one I'm looking for
If I let you love me
See the one I adore
Would you go all the way ?
Be the one I'm looking for

Rachel unplugged it when it was done. Hoagie just continued to stare at the speakers.

He smiled, "She's gonna say yes, huh?"

Rachel nodded, "So what song are you gonna do?"

Hoagie joked, "'Never Give You Up.'"

"Seriously."

Hoagie shrugged again, "I still have no clue."

"Then lets do Rachel's idea," I said, "Why do you love her Hoagie?"

"Because she's Fanny Fulbright," He answered, "Because she beat me up in 4th grade because I called her a disrespectful name for a girl. Because she hated boys and yet she now trusts them way too much. Because when my dad died she wasn't my friend yet, but she didn't treat me any differently. She gave a sympathetic smile and teased me about how I was too fat to not eat. Which made me laugh. Because when I was named student body president in 8th grade she told me my head was too big for my ass. It's how she knows exactly how to make me laugh. Because of how I saw her grow up and how I remember every single freckle that left her face. I remember the first time I let myself like her. Because she doesn't give a shit and can run circles around me with that smirk on her face. And because she knows one day, I'm gonna catch her. Because I want to be that guy she can use as a tissue, to carry her when she's drunk, to be the guy she wants and needs and loves. Because she's Fanny Fulbright and I wouldn't want her any other way."

I saw Kuki smile out of the corner of my eye. I saw Rachel too. She went through her Zune again and showed Hoagie. She said softly, "This is the song you're looking for."

Hoagie nodded, "Why didn't I think of it before? Thanks Rachel!"

Rachel nodded, "No. Thank yourself. Your words gave me the idea."

Hoagie stood up and hugged her.

She hugged back, "Just go and practice."

He let go and smiled in excitement, "See you guys later."

He then ran out the door. Rachel grabbed her sweater, "Thanks for letting us use your place, Wally."

"Anytime. Just get out," I smiled.

"I see," She raised her eyebrows. She pointed at Kuki, "Midnight. Curfew."

Kuki chuckled, "Alright."

Rachel left the room.

I raised my eyebrows at Kuki, "So Kooks.."

"Wally.."

I leaned in so we were only like 2 centimeters apart, "About that alone time I promised in 3rd period."

"What about it?" She smirked. Damn. Looking fine, Kuki.

"Well we're alone and there's the time," I smirked back.

She shook her head, "Just kiss me you idiot."

I smiled, "By God! I thought you'd never ask!"

And I'm pretty sure you can guess what we did. Ha.
