A/N: Hello! I'm back! Here's the chapter. Oh and I'm updating every Friday every week for this story from now on. Sorry this is late.
Chapter 4
Rudy POV
Dear Diary,
I finally kissed her!
Yes!
This just made my one-year plan-to-woo-Liesel skip two months!
Woohoo!
So, fine. I made out with her. Still, it's progress.
And her lips is so soft and gentle and fine and tasted of honeydew melon. Damn, it was awesome!
I wish I wanted some more...
Anyway, let me tell you what happened this last week.
OK, so maybe asking her if we can kiss again was a bad idea. And the silent treatment is getting on my nerves. Really getting on my nerves.
The next day after the incident, she acted as if nothing happened yesterday. It was so normal it was so creepy. My life with Liesel isn't tha normal.
Biology went just fine. We dissected earthworms. Not a very pleasant assignment.
Pre-Cal was hard. Damn teacher. Why does she have to make Math so hard? And complicated!
Government was boring. I think I slept throughout the class. I just wish he didn't caught me sleeping.
English was pretty interesting. Pride and Prejudice. I got Mr. Darcy's part. Liesel got Elizabeth Bennet. I grinned while I was reading.
French and Spanish was... I'd rather not say. It includes love, kiss, hugs, crushes, and stones. I think you know what it is.
Finally, PE came! That's probably the only class I have with Liesel, add English. At PE, we did hockey. Not with the skates or stuff. Just sticks and pucks. Boys against girls.
Boys totally beat the girls! Losers! It's like 7 to 1. Woo!
Liesel became totally competitive at around the second game because I was totally owning the game. She was center, I was center too. I just grinned the whole entire hour. And every time the guys get a point, I would always punch the air and give Liesel a look. She was practically glaring for the whole entire time.
I like it when she's angry. Especially at me.
Oh, the joys of love.
Truth be told, I winked at Liesel when it was time to change. It was more like a teasing wink. And she just glared. And glared. And glared until the bell rang.
Sigh.
Study hall. The last class of the day. I just sat there on my seat, looking out the window, watching a bird perched on a branch chirping. I didn't even realize that Leo was talking to me.
"Dude. Are you even listening to me?" Leo asked me.
"Wait. You were talking to me? I thought you were talking to Matt. Sorry. You were saying?" I turned to look at him.
He scratched his head. "Um. I was, um, thinking of asking, um, Liesel to go to the, um, Spring Dance with, um, me. What do you think?"
Him? Liesel? Dance? Are you kidding me? "Sure. Liesel would probably say yes to you," I nudged him with my elbow. "Besides, I don't think anyone has asked her yet. I believe in you, bro."
WHY IN THE NAME OF GOD DID YOU SAY THAT?!!? You might be wondering why.
I have a plan.
A plan to make Liesel fall in love with me this Saturday.
This Saturday, which is today.
And the dance is tonight.
Wish me luck.
Only an hour left for me to get ready for the dance.
As usual, I'm wearing a tux. Even though I don't approve and much prefer my torn jeans and button-down shirt, let me tell you. I look dashing. And handsome. Irresistible.
Since Liesel and I are neighbors, I could see her window covered with a dark curtain. Damn. I would like to see her dress. But, no need to ruin the surprise.
My used-to-be-sticking-out-in-every-direction blond hair is now well-combed and trimmed. Hate it. Though it's kind of like Logan Lerman's hair.
One more spray, and I'm done!
I didn't ask any girl to the dance. I'm coming to the dance single, and available. Actually, I'm going to the dance with my other best friend, Tommy Mueller. OK, so we are opposites. But I helped him through his chronic ear infection pains. He's my friend, even from the start.
Tommy is a handsome guy. Like me, except that he twitches. Yeah, twitches. It's due of his infection. I don't care, he's still my friend.
So when I heard the door bell rang, I opened it right away, Tommy was standing there, smiling.
There's only one thing I envy about Tommy: his car. He has a car and I don't!
"Ready to shock the world?" I grinned. I handed him a red rose without the stem. He pinned it to his left chest pocket.
"What herd?" He asked me. I forgot, he also have hearing problems.
"World."
"Ah. World. It's only a dance. You know what? You still owe me 20 bucks. I don't want to do this. I would have been watching CSI reruns tonight."
"Shut up. I'll pay you your 20 bucks tomorrow."
"25."
"25? What? I thought it was 20." I opened the passenger door and went in.
"Interest." He started the car and reversed out of the driveway.
"What? Interest? This isn't some kind of savings account stuff." He drove in silence for a few minutes.
"You still owe me from all those favors you made me do. Add all those up, I would already have $542 right now."
"I owe you that much?"
He nodded. He pointed to the auditorium. "Looks like the dance already started. Ready?"
"You're asking me if I'm ready? I was born to be ready!"
"You were born to be girly?" He shook his head.
"Never mind."
Tommy and I just hung out in the snack table. Though from a few feet away, a group of girls were checking Tommy out. I nudged him. He twitched. "What?"
"12 o'clock. Two blonds, one brunette, two redheads. Catch them, Casanova."
"Are you kidding me? They are not even my type. Catherine is my type. She's over there." He pointed to a girl with jet-black hair in a gray cocktail dress. She has a glass of punch with one hand and her heels on the other. She's actually barefooted.
Tommy walked to her, and she looked up in surprise. She was pretty. Tommy started talking to her and she was smiling at him. Now I have to catch my fish.
I saw Liesel all alone sitting in the bleachers in the corner. She was playing her glass. I stopped in my tracks a couple of feet away from her. "Looking good."
She looked up and her eyes widened. I ruffled my hair because the gel my dad put on was itchy. There, all better. "Where's Leo?" I asked her. She pointed toward the center of the floor.
"Oh. How's your date?" I sat beside her. She didn't bother moving away. Exactly as I suspected.
"Not good. Leo only wanted a ride because his parents won't let him borrow their Cadillac. So I'm here!"
I chuckled. "Not what you expected, right?" I took her the glass out of her hand. She put her head on my shoulder. Head on shoulder: check.
"What about your date?" I shook my head. "You don't have a date?" She smacked my shoulder. Smack shoulder: check.
"What was that slap for? I don't have a date, do you care?" She shook her head slowly. "Didn't think so."
"Why would you go to this dance without a date?"
"Not all dances need a date you know. You can go on your own, with a friend, or with a group."
"And you know this how?" She snuggled to me closer, her nose almost touching my neck. Damn. Snuggle: check.
"I read it on a magazine article. Don't even comment about it. I knew what you were going to say."
She pulled away. "What? And you know me that well?"
"Wanna dance?" Instead of answering, she stood up and smoothed her little black dress.
"What? You coming or not?" I took her hand. Then, a slow song started. Perfect timing. "A slow song? Dammit. Never mind." She pulled away. I took hold of her waist.
I whispered in her ear. "You wanted to dance." I led her to the center and didn't remove my hand out of her waist. I took her other hand and held it. Her left hand rested on my right shoulder. We moved slowly, in rhythm with the song. Slow dancing: check.
She took her hand away from my grasp and wrapped her arms around my neck. Her head rested again on my shoulder. "This is nice."
I kissed her hair. "It sure is."
The song ended, but we didn't broke apart. I kissed her softly on the lips and smiled. "Enjoy your Spring break." Kiss her on the lips: check. I left her standing there, and I motioned for Tommy.
"Got her number. Got a date tomorrow." He twitched.
"Good for you."
"Are we going home? Are you sure?" He studied me. "Yeah, you're sure."
We went home, me flying in heaven, and Tommy in cloud nine. I think.
I hope Liesel is falling in love with me now!
I wish.
