A.N. It's getting harder and harder to write this, but I'm determined to stay with it.
Shout out goes to:
Divergent-Chameleon-Wise Girl
Thank you to those who did take the time to review. Your feedback is much appreciated ;-)
Alright, I have a few questions for you guys, and I'd really like your feedback. You can review or PM me.
1. What restaurant should they go to?
2. WHEN should Josh and/or the COC show up? At what point during the date?
3. What should happed when Josh and/or the COC shows up
4. Season/weather
5. Proposal? I'm toying with it, but unless I get strong feedback it's probably going in the discard pile.
6. What do YOU think the infamous part of the date should be!
ETC.
You can also give me any more suggestions you have.
I also want to get a feel for my readers. I would love to hear about what's going on in your guys' lives. See my A.N at the bottom, because I have some more questions about you guys.
Thanks for reading.
Enjoy Chap 4!
The rest of our group quickly followed Preston and Macey out. Zach and I were at the end, separating ourselves as the others meandered along the streets talking and laughing.
Not that we were asocial or anything. We just wanted some time to ourselves, you know, before the chaos really set in.
"So Zach..." I started
"Mhmm..." he turned to look at me.
"…You haven't told me what the plans are for tonight. Where are we going? What are we doing? These are things that I kinda need to know."
"No you don't" he replied, stubborn and annoying as always.
"But I think I do."
"I'm preeeeetty sure you don't. From here on out everything is on a need-to-know basis. And I have decided you certainly do not need to know."
"But…" I started trying to think of a good retort.
He interrupted me.
"No buts. Sorry Gallagher Girl." he said smirking. "It's CLASSIFIED!"
"Urgh!" I said, making an almost strangled noise. "You are an exasperating scoundrel!"
"Yes I am," he coolly stated. "It's part of my charm."
Not able to make a good enough comeback, I stormed off, muttering not so nice words under my breath.
In Farsi, of course. Everyone knows that that's the best language to curse in.
Of course, being Zach, he heard it all.
I heard his chuckling behind me as we both approached the rest of the group.
Persistent as I am, I decided to try a new tactic in gaining my information.
"Soooo… where are we all headed"
"Did you ask Zach?" Liz inquired.
"Well yeah, but…"
"And he didn't tell you?" Bex asked me.
"Well, no, not exactly, but you see I…"
"Nope, too bad. You're not getting an answer than!" Macey interjected.
You guys all suck! I thought to myself. And thanks a lot ZACHARY. I was so close! Well okay, not really, but still…
I wasn't about to give up, but we were going to get their sooner or later, so I decided to attempt another approach.
Patience.
Easier said than done.
The entire walk (and yes, we were walking the entire way) I was bursting with curiosity. Now, 25 minutes later, I wasn't sure how much longer I could hold on!
Jonas suddenly stopped and announced, "We're here!"
"Finally!" I yelled out.
Everyone turned to look at me.
"What? I really wanted to know where we were going. It's not like any of you would tell me. I was about to die of curiosity"
"Curiosity killed the…" Zach started in a sing-song voice
"Oh SHUT UP, I stopped pestering you all but that didn't mean I wasn't entertaining thoughts of strangulation."
With that lovely thought, I turned to the building before us. There was murmuring throughout our group as everyone became informed of our chosen activity, some in happiness, some…not so much (me- I didn't really care now that I at least knew what was happening)
"Bowling? I hate bowling," exclaimed Macey, who I was surprised to learn hadn't actually known about said date activity either.
"Why?" asked Grant. "I love bowling. Who doesn't love bowling?"
Uh oh I thought. She's going to go into rant mode.
"Me, that's who. Sitting around in an old stinky area with disgusting food, wearing ratty old shoes that have been worn by a thousand other people and probably reek is NOT my idea of a good time. Not to mention I can't even get the ball to hit the pins without going in the gutter. And you all know how competitive I get!"
"We could get the bumpers…" Grant murmured.
"BUT THAT"S CHEATING! I am NOT a cheater Grant!"
"We could go eat somewhere else. And then come back to bowl," suggested Zach.
"Good idea." I said, grabbing onto his suggestion as a temporary diffuser of the situation.
"But where else could we go?" asked Bex
"Wait a second…" Preston said whipping out his phone. "Almost done… and… AHA! Got it." He exclaimed. "I've got just the place. Let's a-go-a!"
"Mario. Really?" said Macey. "Why am I with you again?"
With that, we were whisked away by Preston, who was turning out to be the least predictable in the entire group.
And no one had the faintest idea where we were going.
At least I didn't have to suffer alone this time.
Like it? I feel like I'm prolonging the actual date from ever occurring lol.
SO if any of you read the A.N at the top (I hope some of you are reading THIS one) you'll know that I'm trying curious about you guys. Therefore, I have a few questions for you. You can answer all, some, or none at all if you aren't comfortable with that, though most of these are really general. I totally respect your privacy and try to steer clear of personal info. Some questions may seem random (and are) but oh well. J I'm putting my answers in parenthesis.
Favorite book series (I can never answer this one, I have like 10 million ;-) So you can put a couple if you want)
Favorite ship (Percabeth is a favorite, and of course Zammie!)
Favorite season (Winter. I love to ski, and I like big sweaters. I'm also super pale so the sun doesn't take too kindly to my skin.)
Favorite holiday (Halloween or Christmas. Even though I'm older I still love Halloween and can't decide)
Favorite color (Turquoise)
Favorite subject (History)
Favorite character/s in THIS series (Zammie allllll the way. I'm trash, I know)
Lots of Zammie fluff, or short and sweet (I don't like it too mushy)
DO you like OOC, or would you rather stick to original characters (I personally don't care, as long as its good)
Thanks for reading this far! Love ya
