"Duck hockey, Connie." --Charlie—
~ A REAL DATE ~ (Julie)
"It's gone, all gone." Connie said, shaking her head sadly as she and Julie exited from the barber shop.
"Come on Connie, it looks good. A really refreshing change." Julie said earnestly. She thought Connie looked just as good with chin-length hair instead of waist-length hair. "You're lucky…you could've had to get a crew cut or something."
Connie grinned. "Good point."
They went back to Eden Hall, and had just closed their dorm door behind them when there was a knock on it. "I don't want anyone to see my hair!" Connie squeaked and jumped in the bathroom, slamming the door.
"Who is it?" Julie asked.
"It's Charlie and Banksie!"
"Relax Connie," Julie called to the bathroom door. "It's just Charlie and Adam."
"Oh." Connie came out of the bathroom. "I guess you can open the door then."
Julie pulled open the door. Charlie and Adam grinned. Adam was holding a batch of flowers in his hand. Julie felt her heart skip a beat. "Hi," she mumbled, feeling like an idiot.
"Hey Julie, hey Connie," Adam grinned. He held out the flowers to Connie. "Here you go." Julie felt her stomach drop like someone had filled it with stones.
"Oh…" Connie looked confused.
"It's to say sorry about your hair." Charlie explained. "I know you haven't cut it for a long time, and we weren't really nice about it last night, either. The new hair-cut looks nice, though."
"Well…thanks." Connie grinned.
"C'mon, we're also going for pizza." Adam said.
"All right, we haven't had dinner yet." Connie shrugged at Julie. The four of them walked to Adam's car. Julie and Connie climbed in the back. "Wait, is this like a date?" Connie asked. Julie raised her eyebrows at Connie. She had no idea where Connie was going with this.
"It was supposed to be." Charlie shrugged. "Only Guy um…well, he didn't want to go…so I had to take his place. It can still be a date, I guess, if you want."
"Of course. So that would be me and you, and Julie and Adam." Connie said.
"Yup." Adam nodded, and his eyes met Julie's in the rearview mirror. "I'll have to warn you, Julie, I haven't been on a real date in months."
"What a date, huh?" Connie said, and she nudged Julie.
They went to a pizza parlor for dinner, and Connie made a big show about Julie and Adam sitting next to each other. In the end, Julie found Charlie and Connie jabbering away, leaving her and Adam to make their own conversation.
"So…" Julie said, and before she could stop herself, blurted out, "Is this really the first date you've been on in months?"
Adam laughed and nodded. "Pathetic, isn't it?"
"Not really. The last time I went out was with Scooter." Julie offered.
"No kidding!" Adam glanced at her with an eyebrow raised. "Didn't you guys break up like, a year ago?" Julie nodded, feeling herself turn bright red. "Wow…that's worse than me…I meant that in a good way." Adam added hastily. Julie couldn't help but laugh.
After the pizza they went to a roller skating arena, where Connie forced Julie and Adam to go on during couple's skate. (Julie pretended to protest, but she really enjoyed it, since she got to hold Adam's hand during a dopey Celine Dion love song.) By the time Julie and Connie made their way back to their dorm, Julie was in a near-swoon.
"That was a good date, wasn't it?" Connie said as she flopped onto her bed.
"Mhmm…" Julie murmured dreamily.
"Finally you and Adam are getting together. I'm telling you, this is what's meant to happen all along." Connie said sleepily.
"Yeah, now you and Guy just need to get back together again." Julie replied.
"Nah…me and Guy are old news. Never gonna happen again." Connie turned over on her bed. "Me and Charlie are more likely than me and Guy."
"Charlie?" Julie sat up straight and gaped at Connie.
"Yup." Connie propped herself up on an elbow. "He's really cute, you know. Tall, too. Not like Guy."
For some reason, Julie found the last sentence, funny, and she began laughing. Connie joined in, and the two girls laughed for a long, long time.
