Newly titled: Love Bites. (Of course it's a rip off from the show!)
Robbie's Point of View
Lily and Ray going on a date is in the back of my mind. I have a date myself for tonight; I just have to keep it a secret. Which is going to be harder then I thought, because Ray and I talk about everything. But he shouldn't care. He was the one who said if I have a chance with Judy I should take it. And now I have a chance. I have a chance, and I didn't even have to reveal myself. Why should anyone be angry? This is just one step up for me on the popularity chain.
"Robbie, Yo, Robbie?" Ray was calling me.
"Yeah what?" I turn away from the text message on my phone.
"Oh, well, if you think it's normal to stare at your phone for hours at a time, then go ahead and do it." He says, as Lily laughs and Travis smirks.
"C'mon guys." I say and Ray backs off a little.
"Dude, what's your deal?" Ray asks again.
"Nothing. It's nothing. Sorry." I say and turn around, running into someone. I recognize the hair in an instant. "Judy! I'm sorry!" I bend over to pick up her books and she smiles graciously.
"No problem. Hey, Robbie? About tonight, you don't wanna go to Mickey's right?" I look back at her, confused.
"Um, I thought about it."
"Oh, well, I have a much better place in mind. It's a lot cleaner…"
"Cleaner?" Did she just insult Mickey's?
"Well if you want to go to Mickey's we can, but this place is more romantic…" I know in girl speak that means 'if you want to have a good time, we're not going to Mickey's, end of story.'
"Oh, uh, sure, Judy. Whatever you want." She smiles back up at me.
"Thanks. And I'm sorry about not accepting yesterday. I guess I was a little put down. Anyway, my friend's were right. RFR is a little too weird. Well, see ya!" She walked away. That hair, those eyes - that voice! It almost made me forget that she just called RFR weird. I guess not everyone's going to like it…right?
LATER*THAT*DAYIt was four forty five and my date with Judy started at five o'clock sharp in the Toolsa - a restaurant I've never heard of. I have to bring a wad of cash because knowing Judy, it'll cost alot of money. But it's worth it.
"Hey guys - I have to get going so could you cover these last few minutes?" I ask everyone. Lily and Ray both look up and in the back Travis raises an eyebrow.
"Um, sure, Robbie. Why?" Lily asked, looking up at Robbie. He was shoving stuff in his bag.
"I have alot of homework. Tons." He said hurridly and pulled his bag over his head.
"Hey Question Mark, can't you do it this weekend?" Ray yelled to his back. Robbie shrugged a shoulder and proceeded to leave.
"Okay, what's Robbie up to?" Lily asked to no one imparticular. She turned around to see Travis' response - who only shrugged with a puzzled look on his face. Sure, Robbie felt bad about lying to his friends - but he couldn't tell Lily. He already knew she devoutly hated girls like Judy. He quickly followed the directions to the restaurant and was suddenly thankful that he brought that wad of cash. The Toolsa was a very charming, small, candle lit place at the end of Roscoe. He brushed off his clothes, hoping that his button down and kaki's would look presentable. After standing awkwardly in the lobby for a few minutes, Judy arrived, looking brillant as usual.
"Hey Robbie." She said and smiled.
"Hey Judy. You look...great" She smiled at the compliment.
"Thank you." He took her coat with true Robbie charm and the waiter motioned them to their corner seat.
"Thanks man." Robbie said to the waiter, but Judy motioned to him. It took Robbie a few seconds to realize that Judy wanted him to tip the waiter. He hastily stuck a five the guy's hand. Smiling agian, Judy looked over at Robbie. The waiter smiled as well, in a bit of snobbish manner, and passed them their menus. The couple small talked for awhile and when the food came Judy asked Robbie what he was going to be doing this Friday after school.
"I have some plans with friends at four." He told her, wiping his mouth on the napkin.
"Really?" She sounded disappointed. He raised an eyebrow. "Well, its just, there's this party...it's Jenna Phillips' and it's really exclusive...and I'm supposed to bring a date?"
"You want me to go with you to Jenna Phillips party?" Robbie and his friends heard all about Jenna's exclusive party this friday. It were all the jocks and cheerleaders were meeting.
"You don't want to go?" Judy asked him, setting down her fork.
"No, it's just..." Robbie was starting to get flustered. "It's really not my style."
"C'mon, Robbie, please. You'll like it. It'll be alot different from the Mickey's parties you go to."
"Mickey's parties are really-" Robbie protested.
"Please?" Judy begged sweetly. 'Not the puppy dog eyes! Not the puppy dog eyes!' Robbie was thinking to himself. But it was too late. Those big brown eyes were staring up at him - he couldn't say no. He sighed.
"Oh, alright. I'll be there"
