As Chloe, Zoey and I waited for "Bill" I texted Brandon where he's meeting us, and when. I don't really expect him to pull this whole "Bill" thing off. I'm actually really curious to see how it goes. Part of me wants to keep this whole thing secret so it will be special between the both of us and I can keep being his secret girlfriend and we can keep sneaking around, because it really is fun. But another part of me, wants to do what's right - to put the fire out on this whole drama and spill the secret, because Chloe and Zoey truly are my BFFs and they really deserve to know.

Just as my mind was racing over a million things, Brandon strode into the shop. I could tell it was him from the shape of his face and body, and how his clothes fitted him perfectly. Even though Brandon was wearing a totally geeky outfit, he still looked hot. Nonetheless, I had to hold back a mountain of laughter as I looked at him. He was wearing a White T-shirt, patterned overalls, a pair of home slippers and sunglasses tinted at the top so they wouldn't recognise him. He wore a flower napkin that he had tied around his head to make himself look hippie. His whole look was "geek hippie."

"There he is!" I said, smiling and waving at Brandon. "THAT'S HIM?!" they both asked in total surprise. "A big fan of the sixties, so you'll kind of have to roll with it." Brandon gave me a cheesy, flashy smile, while snapping his fingers and pointing at me. "Nikki!" he said. "Oh, love ya for doing this." I smiled, "Hey Bill. Actually, it wasn't me. It was my friends, who I'm going to introduce you to now," I said, "Bill. THIS is Chloe and Zoey."

"Hello Zoe and Chlo! Go with the flow," he said. "Wow," Chloe said, a little dazed by his weirdness. "You have some interesting...um, other friends, Nikki," she managed. "Yeah, totally, uh - he's a real laugh!" Zoey tried. "Oh, you haven't seen the humorous side of me yet," he said mysteriously. "Uh, so let's get this thing over with. I mean, Bill probably has a lot of errands to run!" Chloe was trying to escape the situation. "Oh, yes, that's right Chlo, I'm a, very BUSY man, busy with a lot of...things," he said even more weirdly.

"Okay, then, Bill!" Zoey burst, breaking the tension. "We'll pay for your ring! Cuz that's how nice people we are!" she said, scared enough to not use her grammar properly. "Oh, well, THEN. I must repay your favor," Brandon said, wiggling his eyebrows. They stuffed a bunch of cash in Brandon's hand and ran out, dragging me with him. "So, isn't he great?" I said, trying not to laugh at their priceless reactions. "Yeahhh, he's wonderrrfulll," said Zoey, her teeth chattering in fright. "Nikki, please oh please make completely exactly 100% sure that we never ever cross paths again with this awful, weird, socially-awkward friend of yours!" Chloe blurted and begged.

I laughed, "Okay, guys. I get it. Bill isn't exactly your slice of cake. That's why I tried to him from you, because I knew if you knew about him, you'd want to meet him and then you would get your heads all twisted. Mind me for being so clumsy and late," I said. "Nikki, we're so sorry! You were trying to do what's best for us, and we totally looked you down and got up in your personal business! We're so sorry!" Zoey cried.

I felt a vibration in my pocket, and I took out my phone. There was a text from Brandon.

Meet me tonight at the apartment.

"Yeah, that's me. Trying to do what's best," I said, smiling guiltily at my two best friends.

...
