I'M SO NERVOUS RIGHT NOW!
WHAT IF BRANDON DOESN'T LIKE ME?
AAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!
That was me screaming. I was hanging by my locker, when I was tapped on the shoulder, I turned around and smiled when I saw it was Brandon. "Hey, Brandon!" I said, slightly blushing. "Hi, Nikki! Um, I, wanted to give you this," he said, handing me a white envelope with my name on it. "What's this?" I opened it up. Inside was a picture of some beautiful fireworks. I flipped it to the other side, and read the information.
"I'd love to come to your party!" I said before he could ask. At first, he look kind of taken aback, but definitely grinned right after. "Glad to hear that! I'll look forward to seeing you there, then." I blushed and so did he, and I stared, and he stared back, and then I blushed and he blushed too.
It seemed as if all this blushing and staring would go on forever. Then he leaned in, and it seemed as if he was about to kiss me, right there, right then in the middle of the school hallway, but he quickly shifted his eyes over my shoulder, and waved, "Theo! Hey man!" he said, and walked away towards Theo, who was standing behind me. I sighed, and closed my locker.
I was shocked when I saw Chloe and Zoey standing behind it, with this totally annoyed look on their faces. "Whoa! What's up, guys?" I said. "We were just thinking that, your boyfriend is treating you like a total friendzoned loser," said Chloe, when Zoey elbowed her hard in the stomach. "What Chloe meant to say was that, we think Brandon isn't giving you enough time and attention. He's a total wimp when it comes to confessing his feelings."
I frowned, "Hey, guys, cut the guy some slack. 1st, he's NOT my boyfriend, just letting you know, 2nd, I'm not being treated like a friendzoned loser, I AM one, 3rd, Brandon's way too busy to be running around and basing his life on me, and finally, 4th, He's not a wimp. I am," I told them. "And that's what makes you such a good girlfriend! Standing up for the loser that makes you feel like a piece of dirt," Chloe said, getting another hard nudge from Zoey. "Hey, even though what Chloe said was totally RUDE -" Zoey shot a mean glance Chloe's way, then faced me again, "She's got a point. You guys do have some kind of thing going on. Did he NOT kiss you when we raised money for those kids?" she said.
I shrugged, "Yeah, but it was more like 'let's raise money and save kids!' kind of kiss, you know? More for the good of society than for me. I bet, like, 0.01% was for me. But, the good of humanity and children is totally a better reason to kiss me than to kiss me because he liked me, and that's why I like him," I lied. Almost every part of that sentence was a lie. Except for the part 'and that's why I like him.' Or so I hope. "And if you did have a thing, what would you call it?" Zoey asked. "Unofficial," I answered brushing past them and heading to English.
