"Oh, what movie?"I asked.
"The settlers." he said.
"Oh, that's nice.. I'll see you tomorrow."I said.
"Alright bye."he said and hung up.
"Awwn, you're blushing."Grace squealed. I covered my face with my palms shyly.

I woke up late because it was Saturday. I remembered I had a date today and I was feeling so nervous. I got to the bathroom and had my bath. I wore the pink flare gown. I walked to the mirror and checked myself out. The gown was kinda short, exposing my lower thighs. Should I just change it? Grace would be mad at me if I do. I'll just have to manage it.
I brushed my hair backwards and wore my hairband. I wore my earrings, necklace and bracelets. I didn't use make up, just lip gloss. I wore my shoe and used my perfumes. I took my bag and phone.
I heard a car driving in. I walked to my window and saw that it was Jeremy's car.
"Oh my God, oh my God, oh my God."I panicked, pacing to and fro. I stood still. "Ok Kyla, you can do this. It isn't your first date after all. And besides it's just a friendly date, right? Right."I said and nodded. The door opened and Daisy ran in.
"Jeremy's here."she said and ran out. I heaved a sigh. I walked out of my room and walked downstairs. He stood up and was staring at me. I almost missed a step.
"Good morning mum."I said and pecked her.
"Good morning dear."she said.
"Hi."I whispered to Jeremy shyly.
"Jeremy, you have to bring her back on time ok?"mum said and he nodded.
"Yes ma'am."he said.
"Kyla and Jeremy sitting on a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G."Daisy sang.
"Daisy."I called with gritted teeth.
"Don't listen to her, you can go now."mum said laughing.
"Thank you ma'am."Jeremy said and we both walked outside. He acted like a gentleman by opening the car for me. I entered and he shut the door. He came in and looked at me with a smile.
"You look.."
"Ugly?"I interrupted him. "I know, I shouldn't have worn this dress."I said.
"No, that's not it. I was about to say you look beautiful."he said and I smiled.
"Thanks."I said and he nodded. He ignited the car engine and started driving. He played a rap song and would sometimes rap along while other times, he just nods to the beat.
"You love rap songs?"he asked and I glanced at him.
"I think so."I said and he smiled.
"I do love rap songs a lot."I said.
"I prefer romantic blues to it though."I said.
"Really? That's nice."he said and I smiled slightly.
"Where are we going?"I asked
"You'll see."he said. "We'll be visiting different places."he said.
We soon stopped at a mall, he got down and opened the door for me. I got down too.
"You've got to be kidding me. This mall?"I asked.
"Yeah, this was were we first met."he said.
"Yeah, a very crucial experience that I was almost maimed for."I said. He stood in front of me.
"I apologized already."he said with a playful pout.
"I know, and I've forgiven you already. This just brings back memories."I said.
"That is why.. We are gonna replace that old memory, with good ones."he said and held my hand. We both walked in and went to a restaurant first. He ordered for some food and it was brought to us.
We started eating in silence, but I could feel his occasional glances at me.
"So.."he broke the silence. "Have you ever been on a date?"he asked.
"Yeah, just once."I said.
"What kind of date? A group date, romantic date or friendly date."he said.
"Should I really be discussing this with you?"I asked.
"Of course, we're friends right?"he asked and I nodded and shrugged.
"Well, it was a romantic date, kinda."I said and he choked on his food. "Are you ok?"I asked and stood up. I pat his back and gave him water. "Have it."I said and he drank it.
JEREMY'S P.O.V
What? A romantic date? With who? She continued patting my back.
"I'm ok now. Thanks"I said and she went to her seat, opposite me.
"What happened? Are you sure you're ok?"she asked.
"It's nothing. I'm fine now."I said and she sighed. "Who did you had the date with?"I asked.
"My boyfriend."she said and I felt so bad. She already has a boyfriend?"
"Your boyfriend?"I asked.
"My ex-boyfriend actually."she said and I heaved a sigh of relief and drank some juice.
"So you two are not together, right?"I asked just to be certain.
"Yeah, that's what ex means right?"she said and drank some juice.
"Why did you guys..you know, break up?"I asked.
"He broke up with me for some obscure reasons and then went out with a girl I call my friend. Can you believe that?"she asked.
"Well, it was his loss, though."I said.
"Yeah, it is. I'm doing great without him."she said and went back to her food. I'm happy she's single. Why? Maybe because..oh damn it. Who am I kidding, I'm head over heels in love with her. For the first time, I really love a girl, not just her body but her person.
"How about you? Have you been in any relationship? Oh, wait a minute.. you're the coolest guy in school so you must have been in tons of relationships."she said and I laughed. "It's true right?"she asked.
"It's actually false."I said.
"You're kidding me right?"she said.
"No I'm not. I haven't been in a relationship, ever."I stated.
"Lies"she said.
"I don't lie. I'm actually telling you the truth."I said and she looked at me.
"So you want me to believe that JeREMY, the most popular guy in school, the guy every girl wants to be with, is still single and haven't dated before."she said in disbelief.
"As hilarious and doubtful as it might seem, it's the truth. I'm not a fan of keeping relationships with girls."I said.
"Violet and Crystal?"she asked.
"Just friends. It's been that way for a very long time..that is, before I met you."I said and she smiled slightly.
"Fine, I believe you."she said in a duh tune.
We finished eating and I payed for the meal. We walked to the wristwatch section, the exact place we first bumped into each other.
"What are we doing here?"she asked.
