Why me? Why with her?

Chapter 8

I woke up and jumped out of bed. It was finally Friday. I ran to the bathroom and did my hair, then ran downstairs to eat breakfast.

"Why are you so jumpy today?"

"It's Friday!"

"Is that supposed to mean something?"

"Yes! It's the senior dance toady!"

"Oh, I forgot."

"HOW?!"

"I didn't get asked to go."

"Oh, sorry."

"No big deal. Seems like you got asked."

"Yep!"

"By who?"

"Jess."

"Ooo!"

"SHUT UP! We're going as friends."

"If you say so."

I finished my breakfast nd ran out the door down the street.

"Hey"

"Hey"

"Are you excited for tonight?"

"Of course."

I saw a faint smile on Jess's face and it made me smile.

We got to school and sat outside talking for a few minutes, before the bell rang.

*RING*

"Well, see you later."

"See you later."

We went to our first period and it felt agonizingly slow.

*Time skip*

I walked into 3rd period with a huge smile on my face, because I could see Jess.

"Hey"

She looked up at me and smiled too, making me blush.

"Hey"

I sat down and got out my stuff for class when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and looked at Jess.

"I was thinking I could pick you up at 8?"

"Of course, that's perfect."

The teacher then walked in and told us to be quiet.

*Time skip*

I practically ran to the lunch room and flopped down beside Jess.

"Hey!"

"Hey, giddy pants."

The nickname made me blush.

"Let's go get our food?"

I got up and followed Jess into the line. We sat at the table and I gulped my food down but Jess ate at her usual rate. I started to get annoyed.

"Maybe you shouldn't have inhaled your food."

I glared at her and huffed. She finally finished and we threw our plates away.

"So, you excited about to night?"

"Yes, and I can tell you are too."

"Yep, I can't wait!"

"Aw, I didn't know you wanted to go on a date with me so bad." Jess then threw her arm around me, making me blush redder than a tomato.

The bell rang and i jumpped up and ran out, trying no to let her see my face.

*Time skip*

Me and Jess were walking back and mostly in silence, because we were both thinking about    tonight.
