Chapter 3: Well Ok

`Gary where are you? Brian are you out there?'

*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*

"Oh God it was only a dream. I gotta think about this hard I like `em both."

"Misty get going!"

"K Mom!"

"Hey Misty how's it going?" Kayla asked sitting on a table.

"Ok I guess."

"Why do you always say `guess so'?" Kayla asked.

"I'm not sure."

After a moment of thought Kayla almost yelled, "I know you like Brian and Gary but they hate each other and are trying to choose which one to be friends with!" Kayla said standing up.

"How the hell do you people keep doing this to me!" Misty complained.

"What?" Kayla asked confused.

"Gary seems nicer than Brian," Misty changed the subject.

"You've never actually like meet him out of school. He actually is really shy and nice."

"I'll give him a chance sometime. For now I'll go undecided."

"Cya later Misty."

"Hey," Brian greeted.

"Hey."

"You sound down, what's bugging you?" Brian asked with a concerned voice.

"Nothing Brian."

"Ok if you find out different you can tell me." He said as he stood up and walked out of the room to first hour.

"Guys are so confusing."

"Why do you say that Misty?"

"Because Brian acting all nice now."

"That's no different than what I told you he was like."

"Yeah I know but he seemed to act differently around me."

"Think about it Misty a guy acting really weird around you even thought you don't know what he's really like."

"What?"

"I think he likes you."

"Ha that's a laugh."

"Just watch. You'll see."

Misty snickered as she picked up her bag and walked into the crowded hall.

"Uh Misty," Gary spoke with a shaky voice.

"Yeah Gary?" Misty asked watching Gary fidget with his hands.

"I've been thinking about it and would you," a pause, "go out with me?"

Silence between the two. A few students in a close area around the two went silent as well, to listen in on her choice.

`It came before I was ready! I don't know what to say. Well maybe I do I do like Ash better than Brian.' "Yes," she answered quietly.

"Awesome, tonight? I thought go eat out, then the pool." Gary planned.

"Yeah sure," she replied trying to add a bit of pep to her voice.

"See you at your house around 6:30."

"See you then," Misty answered shyly.

Gary walked to the other end of the room passing by the door as Brian walked in. Gary sent a fist out and landed it in Brian's chest sending him back into the hall. When Brian got back in Gary had turned and gave him the finger with both hands. "What the hell was that?" Brian asked hysterical.

"Brian I really don't know," Kayla answered walking from the corner and helped Brian up, "but I think it has to do with him asking Misty out."

"And what does that have to do with me?" Brian shook his head.

"Maybe he thought you wanted to go out with her," Kayla suggested shrugging.

"Let him think that," he said as he walked to a place by the chalkboard.

`I can't get my mind off tonight I am excited but also I know now I have made my choice and I can't go back on it.'

Misty stood examining herself in front of the mirror. She had put her bathing suit under her blue jeans shorts and spaghetti strap top. Knocking at the door brought Misty out of her examination.

"Wow looking good there Misty," Gary complimented

"Thanks Gary now lets get this date started," she said taking his hand in hers walking out the door and towards town.
