Robbyn didn't call, she didn't know what to say she was sure she would make
a fool of herself. When Holly called she droned on about how stupid Robbyn
was and how if it was her, at that point Robbyn warned Holly if she didn't
change the subject she was going to hang up. But she kept dropping it into
the conversation and she eventually did hang up. The phone rang again two
minutes later while Robbyn was reading. Once more it was Holly.
"Call him, call him, call him, call him! Go on Rob! Do it for me!"
She hung up and started the page again. The phone rang again thirty seconds later.
"Come on" Be brave! Take the first step, I know you want to."
When it rang again, Robbyn growled and threw her book across the room .
"Get lost! I swear if you call one more time I'm going to stick my foot so far up your ass it'll come out your throat!" She barked.
"Have I done something to upset you that I don't even know about?"
The comeback threw Robbyn off track. "What? Zach?"
"Yeah, it's me. What have I done?"
"No, not you. I thought it was my friend."
"Do you always talk to her like that?" he asked with a laugh.
Robbyn smiled and crossed her legs. "She's been pestering me about something. So, what's up?"
"I was wondering if you want to go out again, on Thursday?"
She wasn't sure if it was her imagination or not, but she could of sworn he sounded nervous.
"If you've got another plans....."
"No," Robbyn said quickly. "No. I'm free."
"Ok, well I'll see you on Thursday, about one?"
"Sure."
They said goodbye and Robbyn retrieved her book from behind the open door. She couldn't concentrate on the plot and ended up throwing it again. Her mind was too full and she was grateful when Holly called again.
"Why was the line busy?" she demanded. "Did you call him?"
"Your phone bill is going to be sky high at the end of the month, and no, he phoned me."
"And?"
"And we had a conversation."
"Damn it Robbyn! I need details!"
"Why do you care so much?" Robbyn asked checking her reflection in the mirror on the wall.
"Because my life is boring." Holly told her. "That's why I feed off yours. So, tell me."
Robbyn sighed. "We're going out on Thursday at one, I don't know where."
"Ah, he wants to surprise you."
"Shut up. Look, I have to go, my arm hurts and I need a bath."
"Alright, well I shall see you on Thursday at quarter to one. Bye!"
"Holly no!" But she'd already hung up. Sometimes Robbyn could kill her.
Holly turned up just after 11.30 on Thursday with a thick rucksack over her shoulder. She'd brought along several outfits, all of which she made Robbyn try on and tried in vain to disguise her cast. She tried different ways of doing her hair and talked happily while Robbyn grew more and more nervous. It wouldn't be like last time, this would be different. Before last time she wasn't worried too much about making a fool of herself, she didn't think she'd see Zach again. Now she wished she'd acted differently last time and prayed she wouldn't do something stupid like trip over and break her other arm. She didn't remember ever being this nervous about going out without anyone, then again the last time she went out with anyone she'd still been in high school and it had been a double date. When the doorbell rang it was a race between Robbyn and Holly to see who'd get there first. Holly won.
"Hi." she greeted breathlessly and with her usual wide smile. "You must be Zach. I'm Holly. Robbyn!"
Robbyn, who'd been halfway down the stairs saw Zach wince when she shouted. Holly turned back to Zach.
"So....., where are you going? And what intentions."
Robbyn clamped her hand over Holly's mouth and pulled her out of the way.
"Sorry, she didn't take her medication this morning. Shall we go?"
Zach nodded and Robbyn hastily grabbed her coat and left while Holly gave her the thumbs up.
