I'm starting to wonder if you're capable of doing anything bad

what do you mean?

you're such a goody-goody

I think I've been through this

I didn't wash those grape before I eat it

that's gross, anything else?

I always put Follese in my paper instead of Alexander Follese

and the teacher will be so mad

Plus I'll just put 1/25

and she'll be like is it 2012? 2020? 2030?

I can't believe I like a nerd

You like me?

ROSE YOU REALLY LIKE ME?

WHY DON'T YOU JUST DATE ME THEN

pls stop

I meant it like a friend

that's not what Dan said

"his lips are so soft"

oh he even told me you like me since freshman year

why did I miss this, Skylar?

pink diary?

OMFG

I s2g

I'M SO GOING TO BURN HIM TO DEATH

I WAS IN SHOCKED WHEN YOU KISSED BOMBED ME

I WAS CHEEK MOLESTED

FUDGE, WHAT?? NOT THAT DIARY THING

I CAN SHOW YOU HOW SOFT MY LIPS ARE BABE...

he didn't told me what's the content are

but he said you wrote something about me

aww how sweet

you fangirl over me since forever

what did you wrote?

I didn't fangirl over you

and it's more likely a burn book instead of a diary

so stop expecting the unexpected

oh really

****

Thank god that asshole isn't at school yet. Everytime I try to get alone with Sky she shows up. He's really starting to piss me off, honestly. Obviously I didn't punch him hard enough that day, because he's still alive. At least if I get to first period before him, I get to talk with Sky. This time without him interrupting like always.

Alex thinks he has the upper-hand right now, but I'm fairly sure I can change that. Sky would still rather believe me than him. Besides, Alex is basically burying himself by being so damn clingy. That boy never good at getting the girl. Even when he got the girl, I had my time with her. And you know what? Taylor still comes running to me when she's craving something better than him.

In fact, I think Taylor will be the excuse this time. I'm not sure Sky understands – Alex is still with Taylor. Or at least that's what I'll make her think after all. She'll be so pissed at Alex for screwing around with her and Taylor. Because Alex is nothing but a player.

I set my backpack down on the ground and take a seat beside Sky.

"Hey," I smile. She just nods, but continues texting. I shift my body slightly towards her. She's texting Alex. Maybe he should shut the fuck up, because I'm trying to have a conversation with her. Keep your cool Kyle.

"So I was thinking," I turn to look at her. " Maybe we could go on a date this Friday."

"Sorry, Alex and I are hanging out this Friday." Perfect. I can ruin that.

"Really?" I snort. "Because just yesterday he was making plans for a date with Taylor on Friday."

"Excuse me?"

"After school. He was asking Taylor if she would go on a date with him," he shrugs.

"Let me ask Alex then," I shrug in return

"Why? You don't believe me?"

"Not at all."

Alex

baeeeeeee

babeeeee

where are you bish

class start in like five minutes

I have something to ask you

hurry up

BEFORE THE LAST TWO SEATS ARE TAKEN

BC I DON'T WANNA SIT BY KYLE

SAVE ME ASSHOLE

hold your boy tits

I'm rounding a corner

I walked in to a wall

I'm two steps from the door

I'm here

I grab my backpack and make my way to seat beside Alex. Thankfully it's plenty far from Kyle and his eavesdropping.

"I have a question," I whisper.

"Hm?"

"I heard that you-"

"Hi Alex," Kyle smiles, taking the open seat in front of me.

"Go away, Kyle."

"I'm free to sit anywhere, am I not?" He doesn't say anything else, just turns around. I huff and sink into my seat. I won't be able to ask Alex until lunch, if Kyle doesn't get in the way. Maybe I'll ask him in sixth period. Kyle doesn't have that class with us.

"What was it you wanted to ask, Sky?"

"I'll ask you during lunch." I huff.

****

"Alex," I poke him a bunch of times.

"Skylar," he mocks.

"You seem tired," I take a seat beside him.

"I am tired," he lays his head down on the table.

"That's gross. This is a lunch table, lift your head child."

"Don't mother me."

"Don't lay your pretty face on a germ-ridden table then," I smack his arm.

"What is it you wanted to ask me?"

I sigh and fold my arms. "Are you going on a date with Taylor this Friday?"

"What?" He yells.

"Kyle said it! I was trying to get your side first!" I raise my voice.

"Well I'm not going on a date with her. I haven't even talked to her since she blocked you."

"What?"

"Taylor," he points to behind him.

"She blocked your number. That was when you said I never replied to you."

"Oh," I mumble. "so, you're not going on a date with her?"

"No, In fact, I had a question for you."

"What is it?"

"Will you go on a date with me tonight?"

"A what?"

"A date?"

"I'm sorry," I shake my head, "define date."

"A date, like I buy you food and you laugh at my jokes," he shrugs. "A kiss at the end."

"A kiss?" I gasp.

"A kiss."

"Nah."

"Oh," his voice drops.

"I don't kiss until the tenth date, so..."

"Are you saying you'll go on the date?" He raises an eyebrow.

"I didn't say I wouldn't. I simply said no to the kiss."

"I'll pick you up at six, then?"

"If I answer the door..Maybe"

"You're so mean Thomson."

"You're so dead romantic, Follese." I roll my eyes.

"Only because I'm in love with you," he smiles.

"Save it to your mother."

****

Tonight is the night where I got a date with Sky. I don't even know what to wear. I don't even know where we're going for goodness sake. I was just so focused on asking her before I chickened out, that I didn't even plan where we'd go. I'm going to think of something romantic, so she'll drop the tenth date rule and she'll be in love, well isn't that what every girl want?, but I'm really suck at it.

****

I check my hair once more in rear view mirror before getting out of the car. I take a deep breath as I make my way up the driveway. Oh, her parents are home. I knock once on the door and put my hand in my pocket. I tap my foot as I wait.

Maybe they didn't hear me? Maybe Sky is begging them not to answer the door? Should I knock again? I don't want to seem anxious, even though I am. Screw it, I'm knocking ag-

"Son," Sky's mom smiles.

"Mom!" I hear Sky yell. I raise my eyebrow.

"Sky's coming." I nod and keep tapping my foot as I wait.

"Hi Alex," Sky raises her eyebrow.

"Don't be out too late, Sky."

"Okay dad," she groans.

"Nice to see you, son."

"Nice to see you, dad." I can feel Sky smack my side as she walks past me. I can't help but laugh as I turn around and follow behind her. Sky open the passenger door before I did to her.

"I was going to do that," I huff.

"Are you saying I'm incapable of opening a door? I am a woman, don't talk down to me."

"I didn't say anything!"

Once I got in and started the car, Sky changed the station.

"Where are we going anyways?" She mumbles, still searching for a station.

"You'll see."

****

"Taco Bell?" She yells.

"Well, you said Taco Bell was your favourite place, so.."

"I'm so prepared to make you broke with the amount of food I'm going to order," she smiles.

"Anything for princess, you're annoying af," I chuckle lightly at my own joke.

"Shut up, Alex."

****

Sky rest her arms on the counter as we wait for the cashier. There's not a ton of people here tonight. There's this old couple and couple with their own child, but other than that, just me and her.

"What would you like?" The cashier yawns. I tell Sky to go ahead and order.

"Hm," she stares at the menu.

"Beefy 5-Layer, Nacho Supreme, Baja Blast Freeze and a Brownie Sandwich." She smiles.

"Anything else?"

"I'll have a Crunchwrap Supreme and a large cup?" Sky giggles slightly and all I do is shake my head. After I pay, we take a seat in a booth by the back.

I finally break the silence, "I'm not sure what to say."

"Me either," she laughs, "I just want my food."

"Order 231 is ready," the cashier yells. I glance at the receipt, 231. The door dings as I walk up to the counter and I glance over at the door. Kyle? Taylor? What the hell are they doing here?

"Sky," I hear Kyle yell. Whoa, no. This is not happening. Not in my lifetime.

"Thank you," I mumble to the cashier. Kyle takes a seat in my seat and Taylor sits beside him.

"Kyle. Taylor. What are you guys doing here?" I set the food down the table.

"Taylor said you and her had a date today. So, Sky and I decided to meet up here. I thought double date was a good idea and Taylor agreed."
