Desi and Chelsea walked to Desi's house after school. Desi knew why Gordie was hung up on Chelsea. She was way shorter than him, after his growth spurt to surpass all growth spurts. Chelsea had medium length auburn hair with these big sparkly brown eyes and a smile like no other. This is why Gordie wanted to be with Chelsea.
They went to Desi's house, of course, Chelsea had to bring make up and clothing that was decent looking if they wanted either of them to look good for the dates.
"Desi, I'm nervous, what does he like to talk about? I mean, you went out with him for a while, didn't you?" Chelsea asked in her false-leading innocent voice.
"Yes, I did, those were interesting days, very interesting," Memories, memories, "Talk to him about purple cats, or small peanuts, at least that's what I talk about on my dates."
"Note to self: don't take dating advice from Desi. No matter how desperate." Chelsea giggled.
They got to Desi's house, Steve had left for college this morning, and so his car was missing. Her parents don't come home until late, so their car wasn't there. But there was a car Desi didn't recognize parked in her driveway.
Desi opened the door, "Hello? Kelsey? You didn't get a car while I was at school? Did you?"
Desi heard a small set of feet scampering towards the stairs, then another set of larger feet that followed.
"Desi! Desi!" Kelsey screamed as she jumped into Desi's arms.
"Hey Kelso, what's going on, who's that?" Desi said as she noticed a girl coming down the stairs.
"That's Krista, she's gunna baby sit me after school. She let me play with my hamster on the floor!"
"Woah! That's awesome Kelso. Hi, I'm Desi," Desi looked up at the babysitter, "And I know you… you're Eyeball's friend right."
"Yea, you're mom hired me this morning." The blonde said.
Desi looked at Chelsea, "Since when did my mom care?" They both laughed and went up the stairs, on the way up Desi said, "Krista, I'm going out tonight, you are going to be here, right?"
"Yes I am."
Desi and Chelsea set to work on looking good for their dates tonight. Desi coated her lips with a small amount of colorless lip gloss and put a little bit of black eye shadow in the corner of her eyes. While Chelsea started from the top and worked her way down, putting makeup on every place possible.
As Desi was putting on her clothes, she couldn't help but think about Chris. It seemed to her that she was always thinking about Chris and didn't know why. He was her best friend, and it was weird, but he was always on her mind. Then again, Desi's mind worked in a very strange way.
They got dressed, Desi in a pair of slimming black jeans and a red tee shirt. Chelsea elaborated, wearing a long colored skirt with a nice fitting black shirt.
The most likely reason for the difference in outfit was that Desi was going with Teddy and Chelsea was going with Gordie, different personalities, different outfits.
"Chels, you told Gordie to pick you up here right?"
"Yea, he's coming at eight."
"Teddy's supposed to be coming at seven thirty, but we can expect him to be late."
Teddy and Gordie managed to show up at the same time.
"Why are you here?" Teddy growled.
"I'm here to pick up MY date, Chelsea, she's friends with Desi. That reminds me, why Desi?"
"What do you mean 'why Desi' if you mean, why did I ask her on a date, well that's got an easy answer. Because I like her…" Teddy said, then he muttered, "moron." And walked to the door.
Desi and Chelsea were ahead of the boys; both of them stepped out of the house.
"C'mon Desi, my car is still running." Teddy said sweetly. Desi whispered her goodbye to Chelsea and told Chelsea if she got back before Desi to stay here until she did get back, because she was staying over that night. Desi walked over to Teddy.
Teddy grabbed her hand and they walked together to the car. Gordie did the same.
"You look real nice, Chelsea." Gordie smiled.
"Thanks, you do too."
"Damn, we sound so… proper, we're going to go to D'Salvos, that good?" Gordie asked, praying she'll say she likes that place.
"D'Salvos, that's the greatest place in existence, it's real nice there."
"Boss!" Gordie was beaming.
"Teddy, where are you taking me?" Desi laughed as Teddy drove straight out of Castle Rock.
"You really wanna know?"
"No, I'm just asking for my health." Desi said with utmost sarcasm.
"Well, I'm not going to tell you until we get there."
Desi sighed, thinking that maybe if she pouted long enough, he would give her an answer.
"No," he said.
"No… no what?"
"No, I'm not going to tell you no matter how many noises you make and how aggravated you make me. I know your devious ways, don't think I don't catch on." He smiled.
He did have a cute smile, Desi thought, but it wasn't Chris's. Damn! This is getting her nowhere. 'Stop thinking about him Desi' She commanded herself. 'He doesn't like you… get over it… have a good time with Teddy.'
"Damn you Teddy Duchamp."
After five minutes of driving, Teddy stopped at an unfamiliar place.
