Okay, I have a few questions and I'm asking everyone to answer. Who should
Darien be with? Who should Emma be with? Who should Legolas be with? Who
should Talim be with? I'm want lots of random suggestions!! I like crazy,
wild, surprising things, and I want to know who you want everyone to be
with though. At least answer one question and leave the rest to me. Thanks.
But I'm pretty sure I know who Darien's gonna be with.
A Mistake of a Date
Darien POV
The next day, Sunday, I woke up late. Ah, waking up late is the best thing ever. I called Arleen, because I had nothing else to do.
"Hello," Arleen sounded very awake.
"Hi," I say. "It's Darien. You want to go hang out today? I have nothing planned..."
"Sure, what were you thinking?"
"I don't know...we could go to the Wizard's cup and then maybe walk in that big park by the school...just get to know each other and stuff."
"Sounds good," she says.
Emma POV
That morning, I woke up with a knock at my door. Talim had already gone when I was still asleep, so it was just me. "Ugh...come in."
Legolas walks in slowly and shuts the door. I'm still curled up under my blankets. "Hi," he says. "I wanted to talk. Or, more like I want to hear you talk. I want to know everything that happened."
I sigh and sit up. "I went to the movies with Darien and his friends and we were all laughing when we came out. Darien and his friend Blake were real close to me, so we just put our arms around each other and just kept on laughing about the movie...that's all. Then Darien let go. He realized the awkwardness or whatever. Then you saw Blake and me..."
Legolas rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Do you still have feelings for Darien?"
I was taken back by that. "What? Why would you say that?"
"Because, you both are just so flirty with one another still. I can just tell. And he looks at you that way and you act like it's normal..."
"Legolas, I think you're acting crazy. That's the strangest thing I've ever heard. Darien and I both agreed that it's over between us!"
"Maybe that's what you SAID, but is it what you FEEL? I want the full truth, Em."
Now I was starting to get confused and angry. I could never stop hanging out with Darien, but that didn't mean I liked him...surely it didn't. Why was Legolas getting all paranoid about this? It was ridiculous.
"It's all right, Em. You left with him without asking if I was okay with you hanging out with him. Hanging out with your ex? Doesn't that sound a little weird to you? Do I go off with Talim still?"
I wanted to blow up at him. My own boyfriend was calmly accusing me of having crush on an ex as if it were no big deal! How could he even THINK a tiny bit that I still liked Darien? Why was he so CERTAIN I was when really he had only seen my arm around BLAKE. I was confused. It was so ridiculous. Legolas was just acting irrational.
"I can't believe this, Darien..."
"See, see!!!" Legolas exclaimed. "You just CALLED me DARIEN!!"
My mouth dropped open a little. "Well, uh, that has nothing to do with it!!! You're just being irrational!!"
"Me, being irrational? Seriously, just notice how you act around him once in awhile!"
"You don't have to get mad! I didn't do anything! I love YOU!"
"I'm not mad," he says, trying to be calm again. "I'm just...i don't know. Maybe I'm just jealous and scared..."
"You are scared. And you don't need to be. Darien and I are FRIENDS and I love you so much differently than I love him."
He sighed. "Yea, I guess you're right. I'm sorry we got into this fight at all. It was all a stupid misunderstanding."
"Wanna hug?" I ask.
"Please," he says, like a sad, adorable kid. We hugged and he left to go hand out with his friends. What a day. Already, I had tons of things to think about.
When I picked Arleen up, we had hardly anything to say. We had hardly spoken a few words until we got to the wizard's cup.
"So..." she says slowly. "What to we have in common besides getting over depression?"
I paused. "Um, we like the same kind of music," I say. I know, I know, REALLY dumb.
She seems unimpressed. "Um, true...we, um, both like hanging around the studio."
I was probably less impressed than she had been. For one, I didn't like being in the studio all too much. I liked being with my friends and I liked playing my guitar, but it was a real small, closed in, stuffy place.
"Yea," I lie. "The studio is...cool."
"You don't like it very much, do you?"
"Um, no, actually...not really."
"Oh," she says. We order our coffees and don't say anything for a while. "So," she says again. "What are turn-on's for you? Just wondering."
"I like girls that skateboard. I've always thought that would be cool to have a girlfriend that would skateboard and maybe play guitar with me. I like blond hair a lot..." I paused. "Um, and brunettes too." This was not going too well. There was NOTHING going on too well except my coffee was extremely good. "Um, good coffee, huh?"
"Yea," she says halfheartedly, taking a sip. "My turn ons are talkative guys that make me feel comfortable," she says. 'I'm not very talkative,' I think to myself.
"And I like guys willing to do about anything for me." 'Dream on, girl,' I think. "And I like guys with tattoos and piercings. Like, just a few," she continues.
"Um...I got an earring" I say stupidly.
She shrugs. "I like eyebrow rings," she says.
I wince. I wasn't going to get an eyebrow ring...not even for her, even if she was pretty. And she wants a guy who'd do ANYTHING for her? I coughed just thinking about that.
This wasn't going all that great. I had never thought this date could be so bad. I thought everything was going to be perfect. That's why I had even bought a new shirt last night to wear today, hoping she'd like it.
'Perfect,' I thought sarcastically. 'Just PERFECT!' I wasn't looking forward to taking her to the park after this. I had a feeling we were both gonna want to cut this date short.
Okay, time to give me lots of random suggestions. Thanks 3
