Chapter 14: Date Night
For the first time put of the entire school year I sat attentively in Professor Roland's class and scribbled down all the notes that he had been writing out on the chalkboard. It was extremely excited because it was Friday once again, this week had just flown by and in a couple of hours Pogue and I would be going to on our first official date.
"Someones giddy," Remedy spoke tapping her pen on the cover of her Spongebob Squarepants notebook. "Wanna share?"
"Well, I'm just really excited since tonight is my first date with Pouge," then suddenly my stomach started to rumble, oh no. Butterflies. "Okay, now I nervous." I said losing my confident posture and now slouching over.
"Don't worry," Remedy patted my shoulder, "everything will go great. So, you talked to your mom yet?"
"Nope. Shes called, let a truck-load of texts, and Rick even sent me that large stuffed teddy bear."
"Wow.... I wish my dad would send me a stuffed teddy bear, bastard."
"HES NOT MY DAD!" I suddenly found myself screaming and all heads in the class including the Professors, were now turned directly to me. I glanced up to Reid and Tyler a row above who both were giving me blank stares.
"Oops.... um, sorry." I spoke softly as thankfully at that moment the bell to end this class rang and I quickly scrambled my things together and dashed down the stairs and towards the door.
"Whoa! Whoa! What the hell was that?!" Remedy asked as she quickly caught up with me in the halls.
"What was what?" I replied trying to act like I had know clue that she was referring to how I just made a complete ass out of myself.
"Um, you totally freaking out in class, that's what."
"Sorry, my dad is kinda a sensitive topic for me..... I just don't really like to talk about him." I replied softly as I made my way from the building and towards the building C where the pool room and gym where located.
"Well.... I gotta get to class but we'll talk later." I nodded and watched as Remedy walked off before taking a deep breath and continuing towards my next class.
Once classes were finally over for the week, I stood in my dorm room mirror applying a little make-up to my face as I got ready for my date with Pogue. Remedy and I hadn't really spoken, she was just sitting on her bed giving me weird looks.
"What?" I finally spoke as I applied a little black eye-liner.
"Why don't you like talking about your dad?" She spoke firmly as more of a demand then a question.
"When the people you love die it isn't really a great subject to discuss Rem." I replied calmly as I adjusted the straps on my shirt.
"Well, your gonna have to talk about it sometime sweetie," she then got up and stood beside me. "You really miss him don't you?"
"Well of course I do, he was my dad." I replied, my voice breaking from the tears forming in my eyes from thinking about my father.
"It's okay Summer, just as long as you don't forget him, he'll always be with you." I smiled as she wiped a tear away from my cheek.
"Thank Rem, your the best,"
"It's a gift," she was then interrupted by the sound of a knock at the door. "And that'll be your date."
I giggled as she walked over to the door and let Pogue inside. I quickly checked the mirror to make sure that my make-up hadn't smudged from crying, after I cleared myself I stood back up straight as Pogue walked into the room smiling.
"What's up Remedy?" Remedy gave him a greeting nod before he turned and looked to me, "wow, you look great. You ready to go?"
"Why thank you, and yes I am."
I grabbed my jacket, this time I was distressed skinny jeans, I didn't want a repeat of the mini skirt fiasco. Pogue gently wrapped his arm around my waist as we headed for the door. I waved to Remedy who was once again sitting on her bed as I walked out of the room and closed the door.
No matter how many times I rode on Pogue's bike I still wouldn't be able to get the hang of it. I thought that I would fall off like three times over the entire ride, but somehow I always kept a firm grip even though it felt like I should have been slipping, oh well. At least I'm still alive.
Pogue had taken me to this little cafe somewhere out in the town. I hadn't really went all around the city, I only knew the mall and a few other places so I had never been to this place before. He opened the door as we walked inside and I took a seat at a table by the window. He took his jacket off and placed it on the back of the chair in front of me, his ripped arms now in full view from his sleeveless white shirt.
"So, what'll it be?" I placed my finger on my chin as I pondered over what I wanted.
"Um, chocolate milk, iced. And a doughnut please?" He smiled and nodded before quickly walking away to the front counter to get our orders.
"Ha-ha! So you expect me to believe that you got your first kiss at fifteen?" I said in between giggles as I sipped my milk.
"It's true! I was a shy kid, and we were playing spin the bottle so those were the rules!" Pogue countered laughing as well.
"I find it hard to believe that youhad any trouble getting girls Pogue Parry," I glanced over his body. "Your like a modern day Greek Adonis."
"So, you think I'm hot?" I laughed as I reached across the table and playfully smacked his arm.
"You are so stuck on yourself."
"I am not!" He then folded his arms and put on a cocky smirk, "but if you don't think I'm hot then that's okay."
"I never said that!"
"So you do think I'm hot?!" I laughed
"Yes Pogue, I think your hot. Are you happy now?"
"Quite actually, and I think your pretty hot as well." He said now sporting a flirty smile. I put on my own flirty smile as I began twirling the spoon in my Chocolate milk without taking my eyes off Pogue.
"Thanks. But now I have a question--"
"Oh no. Is it drill time already?" I laughed.
"Just one! So your one of the famous Sons of Ipswich, the hottest guys at Spenser. Your funny, smart, and a great swimmer. So my question is, what's wrong with you?" Pogue then began choking on his coffee from laughing.
"What?"
"Come on. The way I see it your like the total package, and yet were single when I got here, so you must have a flaw. What, are you like into watching chicks go or something?" Pogue laughed once more before shaking his head.
"No, I'm not. I just.... haven't found the right one yet. Thought I was close a couple months ago but.... It didn't work out." I eyed him curiously as his smile suddenly faded.
"Oh, and who was this mystery woman that got away?"
"You don't really wanna talk about my ex's do you?"
"Well I'm interested, so come on, spill." I demanded with a pout. Pogue chuckled before nodding.
"Well, her name was Kate Tunney. We dated, and everything was going great until...." he then trailed off and looked away.
"Until, what?"
"It just, didn't work out. We were both headed in to... totally opposite directions. That's the whole story." I nodded before taking a sip of my milk.
"Hmm, well I'm sorry... about her." Pogue smiled and reached across the table taking my hand in his.
"Don't be, I think I may have just found something much better."
My cheeks flushed bright red, I tried to cover my face with my hair but Pogue then quickly brushed it back putting my glowing red cheeks in full view.
"Your cute when you blush," he then glanced down at his watch. It was now going on 9:30, we'd been here talking for over three hours. "Damn! I was supposed to be meeting up with the guys tonight!"
I laughed.
"It's okay, come on lets go." I got up from my seat and slipped my arms back through my jacket sleeves. Pogue gave me a questioning look as he got up as well.
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah. I had a great time, and i don't wanna have Caleb mad at me, so lets go."
"Alright, you ready?"
"Yep."
Once Pogue and I had gotten back to the dorms, he walked me all the way back to my room and we stopped in front of the door, Remedy was probably out with Harmony and Saddler at Nicky's so I'd probably just go inside and go to sleep.
"So I had a lot of fun tonight, you?" Pogue asked as he stuffed his hands into his jean pockets.
"I had a great time, and I'm sure we'll have an even better time when you take me to see Paramore at Nicky's tomorrow night."
"Nicky got Paramore, no shit?!"
"Yep, he said the jukebox it gonna be out for a little while and he called in a favor from one of his friends who happens to be Paramore's band manager," I was the surprised as Pogue stepped closer causing my back to hit the door. "So um... I--"
I was then cut off by Pogue's lips pressing firmly against mine. I suddenly began to swoon as I felt my knees give out and my body start to melt, I was kept upright by Pogue arms wrapping around my waist keeping our bodies pressed together tight.
"I'll see you tomorrow tonight." Pogue spoke as he finally broke the kiss leaving me, stunned.
"You sure will," I turned around only to run fast first into the door. "Ow! Ha-ha, okay goodnight." I waved to Pogue and watched as he walked off down the corridor before opening up the door only to have it hit something hard on the other side.
"OWW! Damnit Summer!" Harmony cursed as she and Remedy stepped away from the door holding their heads.
"Wha--where you two listening?"
Remedy and Harmony smirked before stepping really close to each other and pretending to kiss mocking me. I gasped as I quickly walked over to my bed and grabbed one of my pillows before tossing it at them smacking Harmony across the face.
"Ohh, you are so gonna pay for that," she then ran over to Remedy's bed and grabbed on of her pillows. "Take that!" She tossed the pillow and I ducked causing it to smack across Remedy's face causing Harmony and I to both burst into a fit of laughter.
"Oh, you two are going down!"
After that it turned into a all-out no rules pillow fight which lead to all of us falling out onto my bed causing it to fall in which only caused us to laugh harder.
"I love you guys." I said with a smile as I stared up to the ceiling. Remedy and Harmony then glanced to each other before giggling.
"Lesbian!" I gasped before nudging them with my elbows as they then both pulled me into a hug.
