Chapter 13

Authour's Note: Sorry for the wait, I've been at camp and other stuff happened that kept me from writing...sorry if this chapter's boring and short and not as well-written.

I couldn’t help smiling for the rest of the day. What were the chances that Johnny would like be back? Heading to Chem tutorial with him the next day, he gently took my hand and turned to smile at me. I blushed and smiled back, I had never held a boy’s hand before and my hand felt tingly and warm in his. “So…I wonder how Scott is gonna take this”, Johnny laughed as we were walking down the hall. “What do you mean?” I asked, confused. “You don’t see how he acts around you?” Johnny asked, still laughing. “Uh, no? What are you talking about?” I frowned. “Nothing, nothing, I can’t wait to see his face”, Johnny cackled evilly. Uh, ok?

Stepping into the room and taking our seats, Johnny was still laughing and I glared at him. “What?” he asked, innocently. “You’re not gonna tell me why you’re laughing, are you?” I asked. “Na, you’ll know sooner or later”, Johnny wiped tears of laughter from his face. Scott came into the room momentarily to and his face brightened when he saw us. Ok, when he saw me. “Hey Lina! How was your week?” he asked facing me. “It was awesome! How was yours?” I asked. “It was normal”, Scott answered. “But I think it’d be way better if I asked you to go dinner with me on Saturday night, you know, as a hanging out thing.” What did he say!? That’s a weird way of asking someone to dinner… I was about to open my mouth to answer when Johnny said, “Actually, she’s going to be watching a movie with me Saturday night, sorry.” Scott and I stared at him. Ok, he did NOT tell me about that. What’s he trying to do? “Oh, um, ok then, next time Lina?” he asked me, shooting a cold glare at Johnny who was trying not to laugh. “Uh, yeah sure!” I stammered. Awkwardness filled the air during the whole class. When tutorial was over, we stood up and got ready to leave and Johnny took my hand again. Scott was packing up and looked up at me to say bye when he noticed our hands, looked at Johnny, then at me, and walked quickly out of the room without a word.

“Uh what was THAT?” I demanded to Johnny when we walked out of class. “You know he has a thing for you right?” Johnny asked, taking my hand. “What? He does not!” I exclaimed. “He does! It’s like, written all over his face”, Johnny smirked. “Ok, well, what’s this about a movie on Saturday?” I asked, raising an eyebrow. “Oh yeah, about that, it’s gonna be our first date and I wanted it to be a typical first date event sorta thing. Is a movie ok?” he asked, smiling. “Um, it’s fine, what do you want to watch?” I asked. “Guys never choose you know,” Johnny chuckled. “Oh um, how about Dear John?” I suggested. “What’s with girls and chick flicks!” Johnny groaned. “Well, you told me to choose!” I smacked him. “Ok ok, if it’s for you, I’ll watch as many chick flicks as you want,” Johnny surrendered, pulling me close. “Alright then! You said it!” I smiled as I hugged him.
