Chapter 12

The next day Gil was happy to go to school. He couldn't wait to rub it in Roderich's face that he was dating Liz. Finally everything was going well for him.

He drove himself and Ludwig over, and like every morning he met with Liz by his locker. However, this time he kissed her cheek, because he could now.

"You look pretty hot today." he said with his teasing tone.

It wasn't like being her boyfriend was suddenly going to make him a well-mannered guy. If anything he'd probably get worse. He'd find ways to make at least one, tact-less compliment a day.

"Hey Gil, your pants are unzipped."

He probably should have known better. She had pranked him so many times. But he looked down anyway, and like the other ten times before, she flicked his nose when he looked down.

He sighed and looked back up. "You'd think I'd have learned."

"Yeah, one would think."

Felica giggled. Gil had totally forgotten she and Ludwig were there too.

Ludwig grumbled "It's like they forgot we exist."

Liz pulled Gil's arm before he could reply to his brother. "Class."

He groaned and allowed her to lead him off to Chemistry.

It really wasn't too exciting of a day, besides for Gil being able to tell his friends the good news at lunch, in full detail.

Francis grinned "Now we all have dates! I was worried, I would have been hard pressed to find you a date."

Antonio laughed "Yes, we would have to get a girl from another school, all the ones here either knew you were Liz's or hated your guts~"

Gil glared at them both. Francis was taking Arthur, because somehow they actually stopped fighting long enough to talk about it. Antonio was taking Romano and Gil had a strange desire to see them attempt to take prom pictures. He didn't foresee that going well.

Gil went on with his day. The plan was to kiss at the end of the day when people were leaving. To leave through the main doors, people had to pass Gil's locker.

So when the final bell rang, he tosses his books in and waited for Liz. She was followed by more than Felica today, which probably meant they were going shopping. Or one of them was dress shopping and needed the group's approval.

Gil was real glad guys didn't do that. He wasn't sure what kind of suit he'd need to impress Francis with, but he was pretty sure it'd be something ghastly.

Liz was smirking in her confident (super sexy) way. Gil leaned against his locker, and she just kept walking until she stood in front of him. Then he leaned down and just kissed her.

Gil thought about this all day, but no amount of thinking would really prepare him for the girl's reaction. There was a collective gasp and even a few shrieks. Gil hadn't been the only one dying to kiss Liz, half the girls there seemed like they had wanted it for him.

They pulled away and Gil noticed a lot of people looked, mostly because the shrieks. Either way it was mission accomplished because Roderich had seen and he was a delightful shade of purple.

Liz smiled and backed away. "Felica needs a dress so we are going shopping."

Gil nodded "Cool. I'll see you around then. We have to plan out the night. And by we, I mean you and I'll listen."

Liz grinned wider and laughed, walking away with all her friends. Ludwig looked at Gil. "She better not pick a pink dress. I don't want to wear a pink tie."

Gil smirked "You'd look great with a hot pink tie." his eyes fell over to the practically empty hallways. Roderich was still standing there, watching Gil.

"I'll meet you in the car."

"Gil…" Ludwig said in a warning tone

"Go." he growled, walking over to the other side of the hallway to confront Roderich.

The boy was in a mood to fight, he yelled at Gil. "How dare you take advantage of her pain!"

"I didn't. I was her friend long before the likes of you showed up. She liked me for some time now. I didn't force it. It was her choice. She just took some time to see you weren't a dream, you were a nightmare."

"Don't try to sound smart, everyone knows how stupid you are. Stupid and poor, what a guy you are." He spat angrily

"Well I'd rather be an idiot and take Liz to prom than be a jealous over-dramatic sore loser like you." he smirked "And if you got so much extra cash, why don't you go buy yourself a better personality?"

There was a stiff silence while the two boys glared at each other. Roderich broke eye contact first and turned away.

Gil said one final thing. "You would have done alright, if you knew how to trust her. She's not your property Roderich. She's allowed to go out without you and have friends you don't know. You lost her. You pushed her away. Don't blame her, or me. It's entirely your fault."

Gil walked away and left the building, going to his car and getting in with Ludwig.

"Please tell me you didn't hit him."

"I did a lot worse than hitting him Ludwig, I broke his ego." Gil shook his head and drove off.

Liz and Felica came over towards six o'clock. By came over, Felica drove up and beeped until Ludwig came out, and then had him drag Gil out of the house too. Ludwig and Gil both crunched into the back seat and grumbled. "You make the bigger people sit in the back?"

Liz laughed "Suck it up."

Gil grumbled as he tried to remove his knee from his spleen. "You know, normally people ring the doorbell, or text. Sometimes they even do this neat thing called a phone call!"

"Be happy we decided to invite you two dorks." Felica said.

Neither brother knew where they were going, nor why. But it didn't really matter to them.

Before Gil could ask what they were doing, Liz turned the radio higher and both girls began to sing along. Gil didn't mind singing. Liz had a pretty voice. But the fact she was singing 'I Knew You Were Trouble' was kind of concerning.

What was more concerning was that Ludwig began to sing along, and he knew every word.

Thankfully Felica turned into the parking lot of a restaurant and turned the car off, killing the radio.

"I think a part of my soul just died." he grumbled, yanking the door open and spilling out of the car.

Liz laughed and took his hand, looking up at him. "Come on, behave yourself. We are on our first date."

Gil's cheeks burned slightly but a dorky grin also spread on his face. Together they walked in and were seated in a booth with Ludwig and Felica.

"So how come we are eating out?" Ludwig asked

"We have to plan prom."

Ludwig gave such a valiant effort to smile but it failed miserably. He liked plans. He didn't like formal dances. He'd much rather prefer to be told: This is what's happening at prom now deal with it.

But they sat and a waiter took their drink orders.

Felica took out a bag from the nearby mall and gave it to Ludwig. "I grabbed you a tie to match my dress!"

Ludwig reached into the bag and pulled out a hot pink tie. Gil snorted pretty loud and someone kicked him, but he wasn't sure if it was Liz or Ludwig.

Ludwig smiled at Felica. "I'm sure you will look lovely in this color."

Now it was Liz's turn to snicker. Felica had a lovely black dress, short and flirty. She had just wanted to mess with Ludwig.

Ludwig stuck the tie in the bag and put it next to him, then he leaned over and kissed Felica sweetly.

From there the girls really began to plan everything out. Prom would be held in a very classy reception hall, where most people had their wedding receptions. It wasn't very far away so they ruled out the use of a limo or party bus. However they would not lack style, Felica was getting the keys to her father's Ferrari.

"Is that big enough?" Ludwig asked

"It seats four, so we will go together, after we take pictures! Ludwig I'll even let you drive."

Ludwig looked pretty pleased about that. Gil was excited to, he liked cars.

"So is it just us taking pictures?"

Liz shook her head. "You will come to my house and we will take pictures together, then we can drive to Felica's and take more pictures together! Francis and Antonio are coming with their dates."

Romano was Felica's brother of course, and Francis was friends with practically every girl in the school.

"What about all your friends?"

Liz stared at him. "Gil I want to spend more time getting ready than taking pictures. I give it an hour at Felica's, tops. I don't need a three hour photo shoot."

Gil was so thankful Liz held onto her tomboy roots. He didn't want to pose for a three hour photo shoot either. Ludwig also looked similarly thankful.

Drinks came and they ordered. None of them really needed a menu, the place was one of the few bar/grill places in town and many people from school came here on dates.

They continued to talk about prom.

"I'm all for dancing." Gil winked at Liz.

"You really didn't have a choice in the matter but I'm glad you're on board." she winked right back at him.

"What are we doing after?" Ludwig asked.

"Antonio offered up his house for the after party. We will drive over there, have a late night snack, and probably mess around until we all pass out from exhaustion." Felica answered

"Or alcohol consumption." Gil piped in

Felica glared "Or exhaustion."

Their food came and talking slowed. Gil had a real nice steak, the food was reasonably priced and really good.

So their prom night was set and Gil couldn't be any happier. He got to spend the night with his best friends, and his amazing girlfriend.

And beyond that, Liz was finally taking a boy home to her parents. She had finally found someone she really loved, and someone who she wanted to show to her family. Liz had found a guy she wanted to keep around for a long while.

And that was him.
