| Today just went too slow I think as I chuck myself on my bed as soon as I get home. I spent most of the day avoiding Michael and everyone so that they didn�t know that I had a date with Kyle. All I really want to do is climb and under my covers and watch a good chick flick but a girl has got to do what a girl as got to do if she wants to go out with Michael Guerin. Oh god I can�t believe I want to go out with Michael maybe I should see a doctor. I could have bumped my head without knowing it and that could have caused me some kind of brain sickness thing, but then again Michael is one fine example of male specimen. Those lips those eyes those hands and all my god I am smiling like Liz when she goes into her �Max trance� speaking of Max. �Hey Maria you will never guess what I heard at school today� he says as he sits down on the bed beside me. �What?� I ask avoiding eye contact at all costs �That you and get this Kyle Valenti are going on a date tonight� I look guilty to the floor as my brother starts laughing �Oh my god its true� Max exclaims I continue to stare at the floor not knowing how can explain to my brother that I am going out with his worst enemy so that I can make his best friend jealous. �Whats true?� Isabel asks as she enters my room. Have they never heard of the word knocking? �Maria is going on a date with Kyle Valenti� Max tells Isabel �I thought you hated Kyle. Don�t you call him stalker boy?� Isabel points out. �Well�yeah�but�� I stutter over the words not knowing what to say or do. �Wait does this have anything to do with Michael?� Isabel asks. �No� I deny a bit too quickly judging by the look Max and Isabel just shot each other. �Why would it have anything to do with Michael?� I ask trying to stay calm. �No reason maybe just the fact that since that road trip you have both been acting strange� Isabel tells me and both me and Max look clueless. �How have we been strange?� I ask folding my arms across my chest. �Well there is the whole kissing in dreams, then the whole Michael watching videos in your room� �Wait how do you know about that?� I ask my sister wondering how on earth she knew about it since I hadn�t told anyone�wait� god damn Liz and her big mouth �wait Michael was in your room what the hell was he doing in your room� Max asks. �Nothing they were just watching a video� Isabel tells him before I could get a word in. �And how do you know that?� Max asks her. . �Liz told me,� Isabel states �Liz as in Liz Parker my girlfriend told you and she didn�t tell me?� Max asks in disbelief. �The one and only� Isabel tells him with a smile. Maybe I should just leave the room I bet they wouldn�t even notice that I was gone. �If you two don�t mind I have a date to get ready for,� I tell them pointing them to the door only Isabel makes a move. �No you don't because you�re not going� Max states folding his arms across his chest. �Excuse me. I am going and I don�t care what you say or do,� I tell him stubbornly. �Isabel will you back me up please� Max throws a pleading look in her direction. �Max she right she can do what she wants� Isabel says as she leaves the room giving us a fleeting look. �Fine but I want you home by ten not one second later and if you are I will be coming to get you. If Kyle tries anything on you kick him in the nuts or if worst comes to worst use your power and�� �Max I really have to get ready now� I cut into Max�s mother goose act. �Okay I be just down stairs� Max casts a worrying look in my direction before going. I use my powers to close the door that he had left open. First he doesn�t knock then he leaves my door open. Brothers who would willingly want one. Now what to wear, Oh my god I don�t even know where we are going. Ok calm down Evans. Black jeans good idea smart yet but not dressy now what top should I wear. I start to go through my wardrobe chucking things into three piles the maybes, the not sure and the I would rather die then wear that out. �Isabel� I shout loud enough for the neighbours to hear me �What?� Isabel asks as she enters my room �I don�t know what top to wear� I whine giving my sister puppy dog eyes that always got me my own way with every one in the house �What do you want me to do about it?� she asks raising an eyebrow clearly showing that she was not impressed with my attempts �Help me please this date is really important to me?� I tell her pointing her towards the maybe pile �You really want to go out with Kyle?� Isabel questions as she starting to sort through the piles. I bite my lip. Should I tell her about the plan or leave it. �No� I tell her the truth �Then why are you�?� Isabel starts but does finish because she soon realise �Michael?� she asks softly. I simply nod not bothering to lie to the one person who knows me best in the whole world. �Then why are you going out with Kyle?� she asks sounding confused �Because Michael said he just wanted to be friends!� �So you told him how you feel?� �No, but the other night when you had left he kissed me and then pretended it never happened and early that day he had said that he only wanted to be friends and then after the�� �Maria slow down� Isabel laughs �Okay he is meant to be coming around in like a hour and so is Kyle and I am hoping to make Michael jealous so that he will realise that he wants to be more then friends� �Why don�t you just tell him how you feel?� �Because he might reject me� �So you reject him first,� Isabel states �I don�t understand what you mean� I tell her giving her a puzzled look �Well you�re going on a date with some else,� She points out. Would that be how Michael would see this date as a rejection? I push the thought out of my head �Its too late. I have to go through with this now. I can�t turn back.� I say more to myself then to Isabel hoping that it would push all doubt from my head by saying it out loud. �Need some help getting ready then?� Isabel asks �That would be great� In about 45 minutes I will be putting my plan will be heading into the last stage. If there is a god I just hope that he will answer my pray and make it work. TBC |
