Beau raced down the hallway to her first bell class, without a care in the world. Her mind was racing with pure excitement and she almost crashed into the door. Class started and it wasn't until Mr. Daniel called on her that she snapped out of her fantasy.
Beau jerked herself awake to keep from falling asleep. She was sitting in a booth of Steak and Shake, listening to Adzy tell her how he built something over the past summer. Next to them was a table containing Derp, Scoot, Dex, and Guen, who were filming the whole thing in between a few giggles.
"Yeah, alright," she replied, covering a yawn with her arm. If anything, she was glad she was getting a free meal out of this, but even that may have not been worth it. Adzy continued on explaining how he was going to make another thing over the summer and while Beau sat there, ignoring him and sipping on her soda.
The door opened and Gally and some of his friends entered. 'Oh no,' Beau thought. She didn't want Gally to get the wrong impression that she was with someone else. Beau got up and pretended to go to the restroom. She made sure Adzy wasn't looking and then went over to Gally.
"Hey," Beau said casually. She didn't want to make a big deal out of something that may not be happening. "Why are you here?"
"Oh, you know, I just wanted to see what was going on between you and Adzy. 'Shoot,' Beau thought. Gally was here to witness the whole event going on between her and Adzy. Even worse, her idiot friends would see him and sent the tape of the evening.
"Okay, that's fine," Beau said casually. She walked back over to her table, gave Dex and Guen a hard kick in the shins, and returned to her seat. Gally and his friends sat in a booth across the room. "Hey Adzy," she said. "If you're so interested in building these things, why don't we end the meal here, and you can go home and start!"
"Great idea!" he exclaimed. Adzy called the watier, payed the bill, and raced out of the restauraunt. Beau threw her crumpled up napkin at her friends, and left.
The next evening, Beau took a shower, put on a nice dress, wore high heels, and made sure she looked presentable. She then walked downstairs and out the door. On her doorstep, Gally was waiting. He wore a black suit with a red tie. "Hello," he said, and held out his hand. Beau took it without hesitation and he led her down the street.
Fifteen minutes later, they reached the restaurant. It was a nice, newly constructed building with that new feel to it. Inside, Beau's mouth started to water. There were millions of different smells coming from everywhere. Gally escorted her to a table and they sat down.
"So," he said after looking at the menu for a minute. "What was all going on back at Steak and Shake?"
"Oh, that was nothing. My friends just wanted me to have a dinner with a friend. It doesn't have anything to do with us."
"With us?"
"Yeah, we are together, aren't we?"
"I thought this was just a normal friendship."
"That's all you thought this was? To me, it was something more."
"Yes! And you shouldn't be making our friendship bigger than that. There was nothing going on between us. I'm with your sister, so I can't really do anything with you in a romantic way."
Beau's eyes started to tear. Had everything between them really just been a lie, a fantasy inside of her head that she wished to believe? A dream that was never going to be a reality? "I need to go." Beau said softly. She got up from the table and left.
When she was back in her neighborhood, she cried. She sobbed until there was nothing left in her, and then she started kicking things. Eventually, she reached home, and went up to her room, undressed, and climbed into bed. 'Had everything that I thought was between Gally and I really a lie? Was there really nothing going on between us?' Beau pondered these things and slowly drifted off to a depressing sleep…
A/N: More of a depressing chapter this time. I'm sorry, it's just too cliché to have everything go happily ever after in the end. That, and I was in a crappy mood after exams. As for a fourth chapter, that's up in the air. It kind of depends on the time schedule I have and if I feel like it. Either way, look out for a continuation!
