Chapter 7

Squib thought of what Cody said. "You don't know the first thing of being someone's friend". That's what kept running through his mind that night. The next morning, since it was a Saturday, he decided to go to the mall, not that he usually doesn't go to the mall, but to him, that mall date was special.

Once he arrived at the mall the next morning, he decided to go into Artizia. Why Artizia? Who knows yet. He was flipping through the dresses, and found one perfect. Perfect for Cody Myers. He bought it for her, with a matching bag. Why was he doing all this for a girl? It's not like he haven't had a girlfriend before. "Buying a dress for Cody? Squib are you sure?" Squib said in his mind. He didn't really have the mood of shopping for some reason.

Once he got home, he had to wrap it again. He just hated the hideous wrapping from the store. After he was finished wrapping. He was ready. He could drive to her house with his eyes closed. No one knew, but he secretly took the long cut around her house to get to his.

He arrived at her house. His heart was pacing. He could see her reading her book on the porch. He finally got out of the car. bic back Door opened. Thump thump thump thump He was walking up the stairs now. "Shit she's looking at me" "Hi Cody, I got you something." He handed her the present, his hands are shaking.

"It's you." She said in surprise.

"It's me." He was confused.

"What's this?" She looked at the present.

"It's for you, I really I think I should go now."

"Alright then, thank you. See you at school then."

With that Squib started walking down the stairs slowly. Cody slowly opened the present. She saw a beautiful dress and bag. A small smile formed on her face. Suddenly Cody's father came out. "Cody, Boys like that are bad."

"Dad, Squib's different, I swear."

"He better be."

"Even Doctor Phil says, Best things in life come from things you want." (No it's not really from Dr. Phil. Cody kissed him on the cheek. She went in and decided to make a decent cup of cup noodles. 

"Cody Myers, Oh me oh my, look at Cody Myers!" Cameron, Tanis and Eric were walking down the halls. They are looking at the pictures of the play that Tanis took.

"You know what we could do?" Tanis asked. She had that evil face on. This wasn't going to be a pretty site. The boys gave her the "suspicion" glance. "Well boys, we could use a little program I like to call Photoshop." She really looked scary now. Then they ran to the computer room, started scanning pictures and editing them.

Tanis wanted to embarrass Cody so much. Then again, it was just a play. Squib and Tanis already split at that time. After a few hours, and the sound of the printer printing, the embarrassment can start. First thing, Tanis had to find Cody.

Cody was walking down the hall to lunch until she was stopped by Tanis. "Hey." Tanis said. She never really knew who Cody was, but all she knew was that she was the nerd. Except, not those rabbit teeth, big glasses, tight pulled up pants geek.

"Hey." Cody replied. She really didn't know what was going on.

"So I was wondering if you wanted to have lunch with me." Tanis was hoping for a yes.

"Um, Sure." Cody was scared. What could this girl do to her, besides, she was apart of the popular group right?

"Want a tic-tac?" Tanis offering a tic-tac. Gees, what was she doing. Then again, she was trying to start a conversation. Cody just shook her head in a way of saying "no".

As they entered the cafeteria, Cody stood near the lunch line. She was watching Tanis walk over to a near-by table that seemed to have a flyer or poster. Cody decided to walk over and check it out.

"Oh my gosh, Cody is that you? Nice bod." She said it like she didn't care. She had no feelings. Cody just stood silent. There are freaking porno flyers going around the school with her face on it. Not only that, at the bottom it says, you have a problem. You know that doctor Phil catch phrase. She looked around but all she saw was laughing and people looking at the flyer. She just couldn't help it, she ran to the door hoping to make her way to her car. No, instead Squib was at the door at the time and he stopped her. She was in his arms for a few minutes.

"Are you ok?" Squib asked. She nodded. "This is about me, not about you, alright?" She nodded again. He let go of her so Squib could do a little beef. P.

He went up to Cameron. "Wtf is this man?" Cameron kept laughing. Squib couldn't help it he punched him with all his might. Bam, Cameron was on the floor being helped by Adena.

"This isn't over yet you little piece of chicken shit!" Cameron shouted. It was too late, Squib and Cody were out the door, together.

Cody and Squib got out of the school and went into Squib's car. They didn't speak until they arrived at Cody's house. They sat for a while, until Squib broke the silence. "Are you ok?" he asked. She just nodded. "Um, I was hoping I could ask you something." Cody sat up and paid attention.

"I was wondering if you could go out with me Saturday night…"
