Chapter 21-The 'Date'
Demi P.O.V
"Riley, you gotta help me!"
I had been trying on skirts and dresses for more than an hour, and Benny was gunna be here in about 45 minutes. Riley looked around franticly, before she spotted something. "Try this!" she tossed some white skinnyish jeans to me, and I ran to the bathroom to try them on. I already got my hair done, but I didn't have an outfit. The jeans fit, and looked good, so I ran back out and looked for a shirt. What matches with these jeans? "Catch!" Riley threw me a light blue crop top, I put it on over my tank top.
"Look in the mirror."
I did as she said, fixing my hair a little. Riley started putting lip gloss on my lips, but she accidently got it on my tongue somehow. "Yuck!" I tried to wipe it off, but Riley grabbed my hand. "Sorry…now look." I stared in the mirror, looking myself over. I looked pretty good in my opinon. "You look hot!" Riley said, making a face, I just smiled at her. "Thanks Ri, I owe ya one." I said, walking out of her room and into the hallway. Riley just smiled, "You can help me with my date after the tournament." I looked at her wide eyed, "Smalls asked you?!" I asked excitedly, and she nodded. "Sure did." I hugged her quickly, "That's awesome!"
"I know, but we can talk later."
She nodded to the street and I saw Benny coming down the road. I got really nervous all of a sudden. "Have fun!" Riley pushed me out the door, running me right into Benny. "Well hello." Benny said smiling at me. "H-Hi." I was already struggling to say anything, but he kept smiling. "Lets go." I nodded and we walked down the stairs, heading down the street. "So where are we going tonight?" I asked, starting to shake a little. "Movie theater." He answered, shaking his head at himself. So he was nervous too. "Are you nervous too?" I asked, looking at him. Benny nodded, "Very." We both laughed nervously, and he scanned my outfit.
"You look nice."
"I better, it took like 2 hours to find it."
Benny laughed and looked down at his nice shirt he was wearing. "This took me like 2 minutes." I laughed and blushed a little bit. "Soo…how was your day?" I asked, trying to make conversation. Benny shrugged, "Alright, but everyone is freaking out over this tournament thing." He said, and I nodded. "I see…you shouldn't be worried, you'll do great." I said, getting over my nervousness slowly. Benny nodded, "I know..im just worried we'll play like crap and the college guys wont look at m-us." He corrected himself, and I smiled at him.
"Don't worry, just play the game and I guarantee they'll be talking to you."
He smiled at me, putting his hands in his pockets. "You should be our coach." He joked, and I laughed. "I'd be great at it." I said, and we both laughed. "You could just sit on the bench if ya want. You Riley and Sky." Benny suggested, and I thought for a second. "Yeah, that'll work." I replied, wishing I could play with them. He smiled as we walked up to the movie theater, a weird looking guy with long hair taking tickets.
"Welcome to The Golden Aurora, movies with a smile."
The guy said it In such a bored and distant voice, it was hard not to laugh. "Hi." Benny said, also trying not to laugh. After we struggled through that, we bought some popcorn and went to a chickflick/action movie. It was surprisingly really good, Benny's comments through it all made it funnier. By the time it was done, we were laughing our heads off, and people were looking at us weird.
Oh well, at least I had a good time with Benny.
"That was a good movie."
We were trying not to laugh at everything we said, but for some reason it was difficult. Benny grinned, "Oh yeah, it was great." I smiled at him, and I saw a swing set across the street. "SWIngs!" I yelled, running over to them and jumping on. Benny laughed and went behind me, pushing me higher. "Do you think we'll win the tournament?" he asked me randomly after a few minutes.
"Yeah."
"Really?"
I stopped swinging to see him looking around, deep in thought. "Benny, stop worrying about this. You guys will do great." I said, sitting down by hi on the grass. He sighed and looked at me, "I hope your right." I smiled, and looked up at the sky. "I am." He laughed lightly and looked at me for a moment. I wonder what he will do. Benny suddenly leaned closer to me, getting closer and closer to my lips…
