I sat on my desk chair spinning for the past ten minutes. Thinking about what Blake said.
It was right after school he came up to me, which is very unusual. You see Seige as I like to call him, and I use to be best friends, well at least that was before high schools happened. We have been neighbors from before we were born. Our mother was friends too. Funny enough we share the same birthday, June 7.
Growing up we did everything together.
Blake and I just drifted apart after entering high school. We were just drawn to the wrong group of people. He hung out with the jocks, while I.... basically hung out with myself. Occasionally Meghan or Haley would come over but we aren't half as close as me and Drake me.
I was putting my stuff in my locker after another dreadful day in school.
"Hey Gem"
I froze, like literally.
"What is it, Blake?" I answered closing my locker.
"I need a huge favor," he said with the cutest face he could muster.
I let out a sigh "I'm not up for anymore of your stunts Siege"
"This time I really need your help"
Even though we drifted apart there was still this part of me that wanted to help him.
"Fine, what is it?"
"I need you to be my girlfriend"
I stood there staring into his lightning blue eyes trying to comprehend what he just said.
I let off a slight chuckle. "You're joking right?"
The look on his face told me he definitely wasn't. The look of anxiety, nervousness, and desperation was written all over his face.
"Why would I do that?"
As much as I would jump on that opportunity I just couldn't. What if he was messing with me.
"Well, you know our birthday is next week?"
"Yeah, so?"
"Well as usual they will be throwing this huge party for us.... And you know dad always get back for my birthday."
I stood looking acknowledging for him to continue.
"I kinda told dad I had a girlfriend"
"You did What??!!" As far as anyone knows Blake is always single.
I was beyond speechless.
I know his father is always on his back about having a relationship like Drake his older brother, I just didn't know he would lie to please his father.
"Well am sorry Siege, there are plenty of girls in the school who be flattered to be your 'girlfriend'" I told him.
"Yeah, but dad gets back next week and there is no one who knows enough about me to impress my dad"
"Oh, so you chose me" I muttered.
"Exactly"
"What makes you think I'd do that for you?" I crossed my arms.
"I'll tell your father about two years ago"
My heart sunk and really really deep. How could he bring something like that up after two years?
"Siege we were sixteen"
"So, it gave you no right, I was also a part of that decision too you know"
"I can't believe you"
"Don't worry Gem, you can sleep on it" and with that, he left.
What was I going to do?
So now here I am sitting and wondering.
"Gemini dinner is ready" my stepmother yelled from outside my door.
"I'll be down in a minute" I replied.
I really wasn't in the mood to eat. Not after what I'm forced to go through.
I sighed and got off of my chair and head out of my room.
