room. “ So what girly clothes do you own?” I walked over to my closet, and opened it up, and went to the back of it, and pulled out a load of clothes and threw them on my bed. Zoe stood their gawking over the clothing.
“ My mom bought me loads and loads of girly crap a long time ago, but I don’t really wear them,” I said looking at the clothes. Zoe stood next to the bed, and looked through the clothes.
“ What are you doing tonight?” She asked.
“ I don’t know. he said it was a surprise, and told me just to dress nice,” I shrugged. Zoe started to sort through the clothes, and I sat down on my computer chair, and watched her. I leaned back, and took a deep breath. God kill me know. Zoe cleared her throat and I looked up, and she told me to come next to her. I stood up and she threw me a pair of clothes at me. I held them in my hands, and she told me to get dressed. I walked into the bathroom, and put on the leggings, and then a white shirt that fell off the shoulders.
“ I look too girly!” I yelled through the door.
“ open the door Mayella!” Zoe screamed at me. I slowly opened the door, and she gasped when she saw me. “ Mayella…” she whispered. I felt my face go red. “ You look great in like girly clothes!” She laughed. I rolled my eyes at her, and threw a pillow at her, and then she threw a pair of shoes at me and I looked down, and saw they were white boots. I slipped them on and looked at myself in the mirror.
“ Time for the hair!!!” She sung.
“ Hair…?” I groaned.
“ yep!” She said popping the p. She had me sit down and she stared to straighten my hair. I sat there for an hour, and I was bored out of my mind. Then she sat in front of me, and went to put something on my face but I pulled back.
“ What are you doing?” I asked.
“ makeup..”
“ No,” I said sternly.
“ Yes!” She growled. I sighed, and leaned back in my seat, and she started to put the makeup on. After another half an hour she pulled back and I looked in the mirror.
“ Who is that?” I asked pointing at the girl in the mirror.
“ that’s you stupid,” she smiled.
“ Wow..” My hair was straightened, and pulled into a side bun, and my makeup was a Smokey eye, and I had red lipstick on. “ Thanks Zoe,” I smiled standing up. “ im not too dressed up am i?” I asked.
“ if you go to a nice restaurant it will be great, and if you go to lets same somewhere more chill and sporty the outfit will still be great,” she smiled. I nodded my head, and turned around and sighed. I looked at the clock and it was six thirty.
“ he’s going to be here in thirty minutes,” I mumbled.
“ Don’t worry you look great,” she smiled.
“ I could care more or less about that… How do I put this… This is my first date…” I said.
“ Wow… How?” Zoe asked.
“ What do you mean how?”
“ like yeah you’re a tomb boy, and all but you’re really pretty Mayella,” She smiled. I smiled at her and wrapped my arms around her.
“ Thanks Zoe,” I whispered.
“ Hm no prob,” she replied. “ Well im gonna get going. I’ll see you later,” She smiled. I nodded my head, and we walked out of my room, and walked into the front room, and noticed that no one was in the front room.
“ I wonder where the guys are?” I mumbled. We walked up the stairs, and Zoë walked out of the house, and I turned around and saw everyone was staring at me. Jeremy, Ti, Rain, and Tristan where all gawking at me. “ What?!” I hissed.
“ Wow…” Rain said. I rolled my eyes, and sat down on the edge of the couch.
“ Your hot,” Ti laughed. I looked at him, and glared.
“ Ti… your one of my best friends, so don’t change that,” I growled. He threw his hands up in the air and nodded his head.
“ Well im not going to say anything, because I already like another girl,” Jeremy said.
“ Yeah I know,” I said.
“ Yeah you know… Wha? Wait what?!” Jeremy coughed looking at me.
“ I know who you like,” I grinned. We were staring at one another, and he looked away and mumbled something underneath his breath that I couldn’t catch. I looked up and saw Tristan looking at me. I smiled and he blushed! Oh my god! He looked away, and I walked into the kitchen to get something to drink and I heard someone trailing behind me. I sat on the counter, and Tristan walked in. he stopped and leaned against the fridge and looked at me.
“ You look really nice,” he said quietly.
“ Gee… I decided to wear something besides guy clothes, and I get so much attention,” I laughed.
“ You’ve always had attention, but no one really exasperated it,” he said.
“ No I didn’t,” I laughed.
“ Mayella, your one of the most beautiful girls I have ever seen. Of course you do,” he said looking at me.
“ Tristan..” I whispered. then the doorbell rang and I jumped off the counter, and walked towards the door, and opened it and saw Ryder standing there. He looked down at me and smiled.
“ you look nice,” he said and lent down and kissed my cheek. I smiled.
“ Should we get going?” I asked. He nodded his head, and I stepped out of the house.
“ Bye guys I’ll be back later!” I called out while closing the door. I walked down the stairs, and Ryder was looking down at me smiling like a fool. “ hey smiley,” I laughed. he let out a laugh, and opened the car door for me, and closed it when I got in. he went around and got in the car, and started it. “ So where we going?” I asked looking at him. He looked at me from the corner of his eyes and smirked.
“ You don’t know the meaning of surprise do you?” he asked.
“ Nope,” I said popping the P.
“ Go find a dictionary,” he said looking at the road once again.
“ Hm ha so funny,” I said rolling my eyes.
“ Completely,” he smiled. I looked at him again and laughed and then looked out the window. He was not going to tell me where we were going. I hate surprises! I groaned and he laughed at me and shook his head. after about twenty minutes of driving we pulled up to a restaurant that said Larona’s? I have never seen this place for that matter heard about it. he stopped the car, and I sat their gazing out the window, and I went to go open my door, but he opened it and held a hand out for me.
“ I can open doors myself,” I smirked. He shrugged his shoulders, and I let out a laugh getting out of the car. He held my hand, and we walked into the restaurant, and I must say it was beautiful. The lighting was a bit dim, and they had glass chandeliers everywhere. When you first walk in your walking on a red carpet, and you go down this hall, and walk up dozens of stairs… Ugh stairs. Ryder looked at me weirdly.
“ What’s wrong?” He laughed.
“ It’s my worst enemy… Stairs!” I groaned. He started to laugh, and when we finally got to the end of the infinite stair case their where double doors, and they opened and we walked out onto this balcony, and it had a gorgeous view. Cheesy right? But still breath taking, and I am a sight for this kind of stuff. We sat down at the table and I gazed out into the sky. “ Its beautiful Ryder,” I whispered.
“ Im happy you like it… it was hard trying to find something that you might like,” He laughed.
“ Whatdya mean?” I laughed.
“ Well you’re not like all those other girls you know? You got this… how do I put it… not so feminine side of you, and I wasn’t sure if you would like stuff like this,” he said waving his hand around.
“ it is true that I am a tomboy, but man… this is real nice and I actually really do love it. thank yuh for bringing me here,” I smiled. He broke out into a full blown grin, and I let out a laugh. We ordered our food, and talked about everything you could talk about and some extra. Knowing me I brought up some stupid subjects, but let’s just skip over that and save myself from the embarrassment huh? We walked out of the restaurant, and Ryder drove me home. I sat in his car looking out the window at my house, and I turned back to him and smiled. “ I had fun,” I smiled.
“ I did too. Hey may?” he asked.
“ Hm?”
“ Will you be my girlfriend?” He asked. My mouth went into a O and I sat their shocked. I have never had a boyfriend, nor ever been asked before. I swallowed the lump in my throat and nodded my head. he smiled and jumped out of the car, and walked over to my side and opened the door, and we walked to my front porch, and he stopped and looked down at me. “ Do I get a kiss goodnight?” he laughed.
“ You a kiss goodnight huh?” I laughed. I got on my tippy toes, and went to go kiss his cheek, but he turned his head, and pulled me towards him, and landed his lips onto mine. At first I stood their stunned, because this was my first kiss, and then he pulled away and smiled.
“ Goodnight girlfriend,” he smiled and walked away. I stood there, and watched his car drive away.
“ Goodnight boyfriend,” I whispered quietly, but I didn’t feel like it was true. When I said he was my boyfriend I didn’t feel happy, or butterflies fill my stomach. I just felt blah, and the kiss wasn’t like bam like how everyone says it is. It was just a kiss. Just a kiss with a guy.
Chapter ten PART ONE-
I stood in the fridge debating if I should warm up pizza, or hamburger… I got back from my date like an hour again, and I have just been walking around the house for the past hour. No one is home, nor answering their phones. I closed the fridge with a sigh, and plopped myself down onto the counter. I heard the front door opening, and my head snapped up and I watched the door way waiting to see who had come home. My mother’s figure appeared, and when she saw me she ran over to me, and tugged me off the counter bringing my into a tight embrace.
“ ma?” I choked. She tightened her arms around me and pulled back, and pulled the hair away from my face, and kissed my forehead.
“ im so sorry Mayella,” she whispered. it looked like she was on the verge on crying.
“ ma what’s wrong?” I whispered. as soon as I said that tears fell down
