I'm begging for two reviews for this chapter-PLEASE-because then I shalt have 80 reviews! WOO HOO! And after that, my goal is a hundred...
Won't be able to update tomorrow, unfortunately. Sorry. very very very very very very very sorry.
Sighhh.
Love,
me
I waited for Lexi by her bed, and when she came in, she saw me waiting for her. "What?" she asked.
"Sit down," I said.
"What? Am I in trouble?" she asked, laughing. "Addie, you are so queer sometimes."
"No one's around," I said.
"Bite me," she said, rolling her eyes. "Really? The dorm's empty. What did you want to say?"
I leaned in close and said, "so how long have you liked Finnus?"
You really should have seen her face. It turned chalky white, which made her green eyes stand out even more. She started nervously playing with a strand of her hair. "What do you mean?" she asked in a carefully disguised voice.
"Lexi, Lexi, Lexi," I said in a disappointed tone. "How long do you think you could have hidden it from your best friend?"
She bit her lip. "Okay...how long have you known?"
"Just today," I said.
"Am I really that obvious?" she asked weakly.
"Only to me," I said, grinning. "So. Spill. How long have you liked him?"
"Ages," she said. "You cannot believe how relieved I am to say it. I've liked him since...fifth year?"
I shrieked and hit her.
"OUCH! What was that for?"
"Not telling me; your supposedly best friend! How could you?" I asked, but I was smiling.
"Well, it's just something that I'd want to hide," Lexi said, ducking her head and blushing. "I mean, I don't know if he likes me back, and I don't want to appear a silly, soppish girl, so I just settle for acting like I hate him."
"Well, that's the wrong choice," I said. "Flirt with him a bit; the way that you seem to get mad when he's around just seems unnatural. You're a naturally pretty girl; flaunt that."
She gave me a sidelong look. "Uh-huh. What's with you and Jamsie-poo?"
I flushed. "Nothing! Toby is my boyfriend and my dearly beloved. James is my unwilling snogger, because we just happened to be stuck in a stupid play together!" When did this conversation turn to me?
She gave me that look; you know, the one that makes you feel all awkward and uncomfortable, because it is apparent that your best friend does not believe you. "Right."
"Well, you and Finnus are meant to be," I said, knowing that I probably had a maniacal look on my face right now. "So we're going to make sure that you look like an absolute babe at the dance, so he knows what he's missing out on."
She squealed and hugged me.
But after all, what are best friends for?
Ahhhh, Lexi and Finnus were a good couple, I think. I mean, they're both play-people and are both cocky, and handsome/beautiful. Whilst Addie and James are the complete opposite...Addie's quieter and not so popular...and James is super mega popular. But as they say, opposites attract.
