Another chapter! Yay, so let's continue! Onward towards victory with chapter 26 of my series!
Eli's helpfulness:
The weekend finally came and they couldn't be happier. Kick's stunt was huge and went off without a hit. Everyone loved it. It was now later in the evening that Saturday, and two people were walking.
"So Nicolette how'd you like Kick's stunt?" Eli asked.
"Oh it was great." She answered, somewhat paying attention.
"Hey you okay?" He glanced at her.
"Not really... I just have a lot on my mind." She replied.
"Like what?" He was a bit concerned.
"Mainly homecoming. I found a dress, shoes, and everything I need, except an escort." She explained. "And the thing is Friday, and I'm pretty much positive I'm not going to find a date." They were walking through the park, heading to their homes.
"Have you really thought of every guy you know and counted them out?" he asked, an eyebrow raised.
"Yes. Everyone I know, or was in class with has a girlfriend, or is friends with that jackass Ronaldo." She explained. "It really sucks."
"So you have no guy friends who are single and don't hang out with that blonde jerk?" Eli questioned, somewhat amused.
"No... And why is it I feel you're about to laugh at me?" she eyed him.
"Well maybe cause you haven't thought of all your friends." He poked her head.
"You want me to name them all just so I can prove I have gone through all the names?" she folded her arms, and stopped walking.
"Sure, maybe I can enlighten the ones you are missing." He smiled.
"Right..." She rolled her eyes. "I'm going to guess that's your ability..."
"What it is?"
"Being annoying and apparently 'enlightening" She used air quotes.
"No actually, it has to deal with emotions, but nice try on the sarcasm sweetheart." She blushed, but didn't let him notice.
"Oh whatever. Let me just go over the list." She began, continuing to walk, "There's Jake, which is a no..."
"Uh huh."
"Luigi, girlfriend; Daniel, ex-boyfriend, definite no; Casey, friends with the jerk; Zack and Ian, also the jackass's friend. Then there's emo kid, but that is not happening because we don't mesh, though he is cute now, but still don't mesh..." she continued to explain. "And that's all of them... See no more boys, Mr. Enlightenment."
"That's not all the boys you know." Eli glanced with a smirk.
"Yes it is..." She argued.
"What about the group you hang out with?" He rolled his eyes, amused. She stopped again.
"Are you talking about Kick, Gunther, and all of you guys?" She folded her arms. "You all have girlfriends, or in Kick's case, is already an escort. Besides I'm not asking Loraina or Brianna to borrow your brother or Mouth."
"What makes you think we all have girlfriends?" He asked. She got a look.
"You're serious?" She was flat toned, "Your brother is dating Loraina, Gunther is with Jackie, Mouth is with Brianna, Ramia soon enough is going to have André, Kick is well... Kick, and you're with someone." She pointed out.
"I'm not with anyone." Eli looked at her weirdly.
"You're not?" She was shocked. "But the necklace you wear, isn't that your girlfriend's?" Eli looked down.
"This?" He held it. "This is my cousin's. She's in the military, and we were really close, that's why I wear it." He explained. "Currently I'm not with anyone."
"Oh... I... I didn't know..." Nicolette was a bit embarrassed. "Sorry."
"You know it's alright... but I might have a way for you to make it up to me." He smirked.
"How?" She glanced at him.
"I'll be your escort." He answered. She was shocked.
"What?"
"Yep. I'll be your escort and you can't stress about homecoming anymore." He pointed at her. "Got it?" he smiled. She rolled her eyes, laughing a bit.
"Fine. I'll allow you to be my escort." She began to walk again.
"Oh yeah allow, seeing as I'm the only one ya got." He smirked.
"Oh don't go there." She pushed him to the side laughing. They were laughing.
"Come on let's get out of here. I actually want to get some homework done." Eli laughed. They ran to their neighborhood to head to their houses.
