“How is it?”
I worked for hours and did what she told me to do. I’ve never written a paper this long, but I like the subject.
Once I finished, I handed her my laptop. Now I’m waiting on pins and needles to hear what she thinks.
“It’s good. I can go through it and correct grammar here and there if you’d like.”
“How about we go for ice cream first?”
She stares at me like I’ve lost my mind. I have no idea why, but I like being around her. I won’t say that because she won’t believe me. I wouldn’t blame her.
But it means I can try and be a friend. We were once.
“Um…” she ponders it over.
“Just ice cream. We can go in our sweats.” Since that’s what I wore over here. I don’t care what people see me in.
“Okay,” she says softly. She grabs her wallet and keys, following me out the door.
“I’ll drive,” I offer, and she smiles.
I never recognized how cute her smile was before.
She turns to a rock station, glancing at me to make sure it’s okay. I nod and smile. I love rock. My game day playlist is all old rock bands.
She dances along to the music, and I find myself joining in. Who is this person? She’s really come a long way from the shy girl she used to be.
“We’re here,” I say, snapping her out of her dance trance.
“Oh, sorry” She blushes.
“No need to be sorry. The dance-off was fun.” I grin at her. I’m ever the gentleman, opening the door for her, paying for her ice cream.
For a second, she gives me a side eye, like I’m going to yell “April Fools” or something.
Again, I wouldn’t blame her.
We’re seated, eating our ice cream when one of my many fuck buddies comes in. One that Oakley doesn’t like.
“Hey, sexy,” the girl purrs.
“Hey Abbie. What’s going on?”
“Are you coming to the party tonight? It won’t be the same if you’re not there.”
“Sorry, I have other plans.” I gesture to Oakley who tenses.
“With her?” Abbie sneers.
“She’s just my tutor. You know I gotta study.”
“Oh. You sure? I’m wearing that black dress you like so much.”
“The one with the sparkles on it?” I ask. She bites her lower lip with a nod.
