"Wh-what? I thought y-you did." Johnny was in utter shock. I just looked at our feet.
"I'm sorry Johnny. I didn't want you to get the wrong impression and I only went on a date with you so I can thank you properly for all the stuff you helped me with." I explained, then I lifted my head to see he was looking at our feet now.
"No, I'm sorry for taking in that impression. I knew you really didn't like me like I do. I'm sorry for this Emma." He said, then running upstairs.
"Johnny, wait-" I tried to call out but it was too late. I sighed and walked up to my room. It was past 1 in the morning, and everyone was asleep. I slipped in quietly, slide off my dress and climbed into my bed. I wasn't going to bother with taking off my make-up or brushing my teeth. I'll just scrub and brush really hard and long in the morning. I did one last sigh, and slipped into a sleep induced coma.
I woke up to a loud and annoying buzzing noise from Finn's alarm clock. I slammed the off button and sat up. What a horrible night, I thought. Lo was already gone, probably getting in some early surf session. And the boys were gone too, so only Finn and me.
"So girl, how'd the date go last night?" she asked as I entered the female staff bathroom with my toothbrush, toothpaste, and a rag. "Anything exciting happen?" She kept pouring out questions like a waterfall. I started washing whatever make-up left on my face off, "At first, everything was fine. But the movie took 4 hours and dinner almost 2. And at the end, he told me his true feelings. But I broke his heart by saying I didn't like him the same way. There goes our friendship, and here comes the awkward moments." I explained, scrubbing my face raw out of anger and annoyance.
"Wow, I told you yesterday not to let him think your giving him that kind of impression." Finn nagged.
"I know, I know. And I explained that I only did the date to thank him and that I didn't want to give him that impression. But he was still heartbroken." I sighed. I was done washing my face, leaving it a bit raw, and began brushing my teeth.
"Are you going to talk to him about it today? Maybe you should try to reexplain it to him." She said back. I spit out a wad of toothpaste, "No, it would be too awkward. I really want too though." I spat out another wad of toothpaste, grabbed a cup full of water and swished. Spat out the water and wiped the remaining toothpaste and water off my mouth. I walked out of the bathroom and back into my room. I put on some clothes and headed downstairs. As I got onto the front porch, I saw the guys walking up the steps, chattering about their session. I tried to avoid bumping into Johnny, but that was impossible.
"Hey." I said with a small smile. He nodded and then I speed-walked out of there to the staff lockers.
