Chapter 4: First Attempt to Spy
I knew I had been a jerk to Lilly. I shouldn't have called her names. But she was being mean to me too. And it's not like I actually meant anything I said, unlike her. Honestly, I was just mad that she'd even think I'd lie to her after everything we've been through. Plus she told me to go to Hell, and didn't even care that I fell out of a tree. And to think I bruised my butt to try to help her!
I sat in a booth, hiding behind a menu, staring at the back of Lilly's head. She wasn't wearing a hat, and her hair was down and straight. From what I saw, she was beautiful. I noticed Amber sitting at a table with Ashley not too far from where I was. Johnny must have planned the whole thing.
"Is something wrong, Lilly?" Johnny asked her when the waitress left to go get their food.
"No, I'm fine." Lilly smiled.
Hah! He believed her when she said she was fine! What an idiot! She wasn't fine! A grilled-cheese sandwich could pick that one up! And yes, I did steal that quote from Lilly. But come on, anyone can see that something was wrong. Maybe she was regretting the way she treated her best friend, Oliver Oken? Maybe she realized that I, Oliver, was right all along? Maybe she finally realized her true feelings for me, and she had secretly always liked me? And maybe I was daydreaming of the day that would never come.
Why did I still like this girl? Why was she so irresistible? She was a jerk to me, but I couldn't take my mind off her. I was spying on her while she's on a date, for crying out loud! That's low, I know. But you gotta admit, I have good intentions. And yet, I have no idea why I had those intentions. I should hate Lilly for treating me the way she did, but I still liked her just as much as always. If not as much, more.
The date went on just like any other date. Talking about nothing interesting, eating expensive food. The usual. I watched Johnny like a hawk. Since Johnny's intentions were to make Amber jealous, he was talking kind of loud so she'd hear. I was thankful for this, 'cause it helped me to hear a lot better too. Lilly seemed kind of quiet from what I heard, but she might have just been tired. Or lost in Johnny's "amazingness". Gross.
But then, it happened. Johnny was leaning in for a kiss. I couldn't see Lilly's face, so I was leaning out of the booth to get a better look. But I leaned so far that I fell out of the booth and caused a whole big commotion. Both Lilly and Johnny looked in my direction and found me on the floor. A waiter tripped over me and spilled hot soup on Johnny, who stood up and yelled in disgust. At least I distracted them from the kiss.
"Johnny, I'm so sorry! Excuse me for one second!" Lilly gripped my arm tight and dragged me outside. "What the hell are you doing here?"
"Having dinner! Duh!" I lied.
"Why the heck were you spying on me!"
"Who said anything about spying? I just wanted some dinner!"
"Oh really?" she crossed her arms.
"Yes, really!" Score! One more lie for Oliver Oken.
"Oliver Oken, what is your problem?"
"You! You're my problem, Lilly!"
"What are you talking about?" Lilly asked. But I had turned my attention towards Johnny. He had moved to Amber's table while Lilly was with me and Ashley was in the bathroom. He had his arm around her and they were both leaning in for a kiss. "See, Oliver! You don't even listen to me!" I turned Lilly around to show her what I was looking at. She stood there staring, and didn't say a word.
"Lilly, I-" I was about to say something supportive, but she ran away before I could.
