Sorry for the delay, I went on a trip for half my spring break and the other half was helping with renovations and dealing with personal drama. I hope this chapter makes up for the wait~
Well here's the next chapter, enjoy~ 3 3 3
Dear Diary,
LATER
It was Gilbert at the door. He came over to apologize about the crap I was being put through. Then he was all glad that it happened so I could give "the awesome Gilbert" a chance. I slammed the door in his face. It was very satisfying. He then knocked again; he wouldn't give up. I finally gave in and opened the door for him. He was standing there like a deflated balloon. I felt bad for him so I invited him in and we sat and talked a bit. I don't know how this happened, but we are meeting for breakfast tomorrow, and apparently he's paying. Would this count for a date? When he left he kissed my cheek again. I think I was blushing. What the hell has come over me?...
Dear Diary,
AFTER SCHOOL
I couldn't write before now. I woke up a little later than I had planned so I had to run to the meeting place, the same where I met Roddy just yesterday where things ended badly. Gilbert was sitting at a back table, waiting for me to arrive. I stood at the end of the table panting and he looked up at me with a grin. I sat down with a quick "hey" just as the waitress too our orders. After she left there was an awkward silence. Then he started rambling about school, the weather, and friends. He stopped and blushed red when I giggled. I told him I thought he was cute. Then he was like, "I'm not cute, I'm manly" but it just made me laugh even more. Our food was delivered and I was surprised that he had manners. I mean, I guess everyone does, but with Gil I was just surprised. I hate to admit it, but my rival was easy to talk to. We had animated talks and when I looked at my phone I was surprised our hour for breakfast was over, and then some. He quickly paid the bill and we ran to school. We got to homeroom just as the bell rang.
Roderich saw us enter together, and in the same state of breathlessness. He glared snobbishly and went back to his practicing. I bet his parents were happy I was out of the picture. To them I was a "distraction" and one Roderich could apparently do without. Gil and I sat next to each other normally, but our chairs were closer and we were talking. I think our class was in shock. Throughout the day we talked and he asked if he could walk me home. When we got to my house he leaned down and picked a flower and then gently put it behind my ear in my hair. My hair flowed through his fingers as he turned away saying he'll see me tomorrow. I stood there for a few moments till I shook myself back into the real world and out of my day dreams. Today has been a day from a dream.
….
I did NOT just say that! I'm going to go do that homework I have been putting off for ages.
Dear Diary,
AT THE END OF THE WEEK, FRIDAY NIGHT
This week has been a blur. Homework, projects, a test, and then there's Gil. I keep telling myself to stop blushing when I write or say his name; it never works. Today Gil finally stayed after he walked me home. I made snacks and when I walked into the room with the TV I had to bop him upside the head for making sexist comments; everything was in jest though. We sat and watched a movie both of us would enjoy, Friday the 13th. Ok, so maybe I'm not much of a horror movie person, but I know Gil enjoys that kind of stuff. Ten minutes into the movie I started moving closer to him in fear. After about thirty minutes I was trembling against him. He sighed and pulled me close asking why I put it in if I was going to be terrified. I just looked at him and he rolled his eyes and pulled me into his lap rubbing my back. Without realizing it I snuggled close and started dozing. He woke me up at the end of the movie with a smile. He said he had to go. I walked him to the door and he thanked me for the food. Then he kissed me; not on the cheek, but on my lips. I was too surprised to react. He smirked, said goodbye and walked home. I stood there, knees weak and my heart racing. I was falling for the "awesome" Gilbert.
Crap, my friends will be here soon for the sleepover. One of the perks of my parents traveling a lot is the freedom that comes with it. I'll write tomorrow to describe what crazy things we get up to tonight.
Dear Diary,
IN THE AFTERNOON THE NEXT DAY
Last night was a blast! Everyone arrived around seven and we ordered pizza. We danced around to loud music until the pizza arrived. Then we popped in a chick flick, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days. We laughed, we cried, we screamed at the drama. After that was done, Elisa suggested truth or dare. Of course everyone was a little hesitant; especially since the last time it resulted in Elise kissing a fish, Seychelles eating super-hot peppers, and Meimei eating strawberries covered in chocolate off of…well, let's just say our dares get interesting. This time they are rounded on me and asked truth or dare. I always start out with truth and I never break a tradition. They asked about me and Gil. I guess my reddening face told them all they wanted to know. They squealed and glomped me. The next round I went with truth again to be on the safe side. They asked how far Gil and I have gone. They squealed even louder when I told them that he kissed me; now they won't let me live it down. The dares started after that. I ended up in Lingerie, so did Lili. Elise was wearing a short skirt and very revealing shirt, and Seychelles a bikini…why does it always end up like this?
Then there was a crash and a loud curse. Everyone jumped up and ran to the window. I threw it open, and there were all the guys, they had sheepish grins and blushes. I was glaring at all of them. Then I saw Gil at the back, face blood red as he looked at me. All of the girls looked like they could kill. We grabbed the nearest hard object and launched ourselves at them. It must have looked interesting to the neighbors. Scantily clad girls on top of embarrassed and probably turned on boys. I laugh at the thought of it. I ironically was on top of Gilbert, and I think he couldn't have turned any redder. I think I was smirking. Then we beat the shit out of the boys and went back to our party. Maybe THAT will teach them a lesson. After that we settled down and watched another movie. Everyone fell asleep during the movie and we woke up in the morning to the DVD menu theme music. Everyone trooped to the kitchen and, being too tired and sore, had simple cereal. After that everyone helped me clean up and they all left at the same time. Waves, grins, cat calls, and the like we vocalized between us jokingly until they got to the end of my yard. I went back inside and went to take a shower and get comfortable.
Oh, a text from Gil….apologizing. Well, he has to do that in person…Won't that be interesting?~
