At lunchtime, Ellie came out of her class and went to her locker. As she was putting her books away, a pair of warm hands slipped over her eyes.
"Guess
who?" Craig asked from behind her.
"Uh, I don't know? I
big green monster"
"Come on!" he laughed. She took
his hands off her eyes.
"Craig." She said with a smile on her face He smiled and shrugged.
"The laugh gave it away?" She laughed, "Totally!! So, um hey." She was nervous and began to bite her lip.
"so
what about that date thing?"
"Oh, right. Well, I talked to
Emma. She said we could double with her and Jay tonight, I mean, if
that's okay with you."
"Jay?"
he looked apprehensive.
"Yea? I mean, we don't have to. I was
just.." She stopped and looked at Craig. She looks
unhappy... Craig thought, worried.
"Whatever is fine with you is fine with me."
"Good. Well Emma said they are going to a restaurant tonight at 8. So what don't you pick me up at Emma's?" Ellie said with the huge smile on her face. He smiled and kissed her cheek again, just before the jaw line.
"Sure." As Craig walked away from her, Ellie did a little dance where she was standing. She had a smile on her face as she walked away from the area.
