Chapter 14: Good Times

"I…" We stopped walking and she looked directly into my eyes. "I think you have a black eye!"

"Are you serious? Now my mom's gonna know I got into another fight!" I said and we began walking again.

"I'm sorry, just tell her it's my fault."

"No, you didn't do anything. I'll just tell her that Chad was being mean to you so I punched him."

"But she said no more fights. I don't want you to get in trouble."

I shrugged. "Don't worry about it. She'll probably think it's sweet that I'm protecting the girl I've l-" I stopped myself before I spilled out 'liked forever'. "Been best friends with forever." I finished.

"Well, it was a very sweet thing to do."

I grinned, proud of myself. "So is that all you wanted to tell me; that I have a black eye?"

"Uh…no…but I forgot what it was." she replied.

"Oh, Ok. Well when it comes back to you, I'll be waiting."

Lilly just nodded. "Hey, who are they?" she asked, nodding her head over to two twin boys fighting at a corner. They were blonde, and held skateboards in their hands. They looked to be about our age.

"I don't know. I've never seen them before."

"Let's go introduce ourselves," she suggested, grabbing my arm and bringing my towards them. "Hey," Lilly greeted, smiling flirtatiously.

"Hey," one of them said happily, stopping the argument with his twin.

"Are you guys new here?" Lilly asked. I was already jealous.

"Yeah, we're only in town for a week. Our mom just had to do a small concert here. I'm Zack, and this is Cody."

"I'm Lilly," she shook Zack's hand. I didn't say anything, just glared. Lilly jabbed her elbow into me, wanting me to introduce myself but I didn't. So she jabbed me harder.

"I'm Oliver." I said through gritted teeth.

"So you guys skate?" Lilly asked.

"Yeah," they said at the same time, which made Lilly giggle.

"I skate too." she bragged and twirled her hair.

"Well, it was nice meeting you guys, but we should really get going." I lied and grabbed Lilly's arm to try to get her to come with me.

"No we don't, Oliver," she argued.

"Yeah, Lil, we do."

"Oh, are you guys together?" Zack asked, sounding disappointed.

"No, no, no," Lilly said instantly. Ouch. "But apparently, we have to go."

"Alright, well, can we have your number?" Cody asked.

"Yeah, maybe we can hang out sometime." Zack agreed, and I happily gave them my cell phone number.

"Where are you staying?" I asked, as Oliver began to pull me away.

"The Best Western hotel." they answered in unison once again.

"Call me!" I called out.

"What the hell was that!" I asked once we were on our block.

"What do you mean?" Lilly played dumb.

"You were just! I thought maybe! But we!" I kept starting different sentences, but never finished them.

"Spit it out, Oliver!"

I took a deep breath. "Never mind," I said flatly.

"Fine," she said.

"Fine," I replied.

"Are…are you mad at me?" she asked once we were both at our own doorsteps. I gave her a look that said 'ya think?' "Well…what did I do?"

"Nothing, I just thought that we could…"

"That we could what?"

"Nothing, never mind, good-bye." I said and shut the door. Then I noticed her backpack was still here, so I picked it up and opened the door. Lilly was there, with her hand in a knocking position.

"I forgot my backpack." she said quietly.

I handed it to her and she left. Perfect. I had a black eye, got mad at Lilly, wanted to kill Zack, had homework and class work still left to do, and detentions the rest of the week. Good times.
