14 : It's Wednesday My Dudes

AALIYAH

It's Wednesday.

Possibly one of the best days of the week.

Here's my rankings for the days of the week from worst to best:

1. Monday
2. Sunday
3. Tuesday
4. Thursday
5. Wednesday
6. Friday
7. Saturday

In my professional opinion. If Monday is anywhere other than 1st on your list then you need to go straight to the electric chair.

A little extensive but I have a point to prove.

"Aaliyah?"

"Aaliyah?"

"What?"

"Did you hear a word I said?"

Right now I honestly have no idea what's going on. Desirée and I were sitting outside in the courtyard waiting for school to start.

I have no idea what she just said considering I was too busy ranking the days of the week.

"Do you want me to lie?"

"I already knew you weren't listening I just wanted to see if you would tell the truth."

"I'm sorry I was distracted what were you saying?"

"Why are you distracted?"

I have 1 of 2 options here. I could either:

A. Tell her I was too busy ranking the days of the week.

Or

B. Tell her what happened yesterday between me and Lucas.

I'm pretty sure I have to go with B because I can't hide anything from Desirée even if I tried.

I let out a deep breath. "Lucas told me why he left yesterday."

"He did what?!" she whisper yelled.

"Okay, so he invited me over to his apartment yesterday. Yes, he has an apartment. And he gave me a little tour. When we were on the way to his apartment the elevator stopped for a while. I brought up the whole leaving me thing. Yes, I brought it up again. And he told me he owed me an explanation so that's why he told me."

Wow, that was a lot to get out.

"And when we're you planning on telling me this?"

"Right around the time I start caring about what other people think of me."

"So never?"

"Ding, ding, ding. We have a winner."

She rolled her eyes. "I'm tired of your sarcastic answers when I'm asking serious questions."

"Did you want me to go to the store?"

"For what?"

"To get you an energy drink."

"Why do I need one?"

"Because you said you were tired of my sarcasm."

She hit me on the shoulder. "Ow!" I said rubbing my shoulder.

"Aaliyah I'm serious!"

"Okay. Okay. Fine. I was planning on telling you I just didn't know when. I was still kind of processing things myself."

"You know you can tell me anything right."

"Yeah, why?"

"Because you're not telling me everything right now. You have that look on your face that tells me you're hiding something."

I stared at her for a second. "I think I might be crazy."

"What? How?"

"Because I-"

"BOO!"

I screamed and then turned around to find Lucas laughing at me.

I stood up and hit him on the back of his head. "What the hell!"

"Oh my gosh," he said walking around while still laughing, "you should've seen your face."

"Oh, so scaring people is your new method of torture huh?"

"You call it torture I call it fun. Guess we have a difference of opinion."

"Yeah, I guess we do."

"Well if you two are done," Desirée interrupted, "Aaliyah what were you about to tell me?"

"Oh, it's nothing I'll tell you later."

"Why are you two out here?" Lucas asked.

"Hiding from you," I said annoyed.

"You should really do a better job at it then."

"I didn't realize you felt the need to tell me your opinion."

"Because you were too busy thinking of more ways to insult me."

"I have plenty would you like to hear some?" I said and then smiled at him.

After a couple of minutes of going back and forth with Lucas Desirée said something. "Okay...I think we've had enough of you guys' banter now."

I was too busy talking (arguing and insulting) with Lucas that I didn't realize Xavier was standing beside Desirée.

"Hey, guys," Xavier said after we turned to look at him.

"Hey," Lucas and I said simultaneously

"So what are the plans for tomorrow or this weekend?" Xavier asked.

"I didn't think anyone had any." I replied, looking around.

Desirée slowly turned and looked at the rest of us with a slight grin on her face.

"What?" I asked looking at her confused.

"I just came up with a brilliant idea," Desirée said smiling at Xavier.

"What?" Lucas and I both said at the same time.

"A DOUBLE DATE!!"

2 words.

Hell and no.

"I'm in," Lucas said staring staring at me.

Why? Is the only question I have right now.

Why did she think to go on a double date?

Why would I go on a double date?

This isn't a why, but do I really have to go on this double date?

Short answer to all those questions: yes.

"Fine."

"Yes!" Desirée bouncing up and down excitedly.

"We're gonna have so much fun," Lucas whispered into my ear.

Now that I have an answer to most of my questions. The only one I have now is:

Where is Wednesday ranked on my list?
