Make it a sweet, sweet goodbye

Rebecca’s POV
I couldn’t believe that Alex had asked me on a date! Me? Oh all the people, it’s not like I’m anything special am I? I’m just a screw up really. I spend the rest of my night screaming down the phone to Kara over what just happened. She reassured me that she would find out from Alex what type of clothes I would need to wear on this date so I wouldn’t be under-prepared. I laughed at how Kara may have been more excited then I was…which was kind of a scary thought. I went to bed that night with anticipation for tomorrow…I just couldn’t wait.

I woke up suddenly refreshed and ready for the day, I was ready to go to school but most importantly I just wanted to see Alex. I rush to get ready putting on my favourite Nintendo shirt and grabbing a pair of white skinny jeans, before quickly slipping on my favourite superman converse, I run into the bathroom quickly giving my long fading red hair a quick brush through, leaving it slightly wavy, I then add eyeliner and mascara to my face, leaving out heavy make up as it is only school. I stare at my hair in the mirror, making a mental note to dye my hair a darker colour tonight.
By the time I finish getting ready I realise it is time to leave, I run downstairs grabbing my bag before running out to my car and setting off. I drive the short drive to school, happiness radiating from myself with the radio on full blast.
I walk into school and walk straight up to Alex. He smiles straight away when he sees me and pulls me into a hug.
“Hey you.” He mumbles into my hair giving me a big hug. I smile feeling completely safe in his arms.
“Hey Alex.” I mumble pulling out of the hug smiling. He smiles back at me before I join the conversation of the group. Before long the topic moves on to mine and Alex’s date to which Jack tries to invite himself along; we decline his offer causing him to pout like a wounded puppy. I pat his head jokingly before the bell rings for the next lesson, I lean up and boldly place a small kiss on Alex’s cheek before skipping off arm in arm with Jack to next lesson singing follow the yellow brick road…I can see why people think me and him are weird.

Alex’s POV
I laugh watching Jack and Rebecca skip away to their lesson singing at the top of their voices. I touch my cheek where Rebecca kissed me, I let the smile creep and stay on my face, the imprint of her lips still fresh on my face, for some reason even small contact like this sets my heart racing. The butterflies begin to swirl around in my stomach again, making me crave the attention of her soft sweet lips, wishing I could kiss her again like I did last night. All I wanted to do just then was wrap her in my arms and never let go, but instead I kept to myself; reminding myself that I can wrap her in my arms tonight. I walk on by myself to my lesson. I had everything for tonight planned, and thanks to Jack’s help, I knew Rebecca was going to enjoy herself.
I wanted tonight to be perfect, I needed tonight to be perfect. Rebecca is just different to the other girls in my school, she’s easy to talk to, she’s outgoing, and she’s beautiful and confident and doesn’t have to have a face full of make-up and her boobs hanging out to capture a guy’s attention. The first day I saw her, I knew there was something special about her, I just curse myself now for not making my move sooner, for leaving it too long. I just wish I also was there to help her through her pain, I hated the fact she had gone through everything on her own, and also the fact she thought these things about herself. It’s like she doesn’t realise how amazing she really is. How she’s able to look so beautiful and gorgeous yet still act like one of the guys, making sex jokes and joining in on burping competitions.
I walk into my lesson in a daydream about tonight, I have told Kara this morning what sort of clothing she should wear; I had arranged everything down to the last detail. I was so serious about this night, my plan wasn’t to get her in to bed like the other girls; my plan was to treat her like a princess and show her how much I care for her and want to be with her.
Halfway through the class I feel a ball of paper hit me when the teachers back is to the class, I look up to find the culprit, realising no one’s attention is on me, slowly I unravel the paper to find a message written on it…
Tonight 6pm. My place. If you don’t show up I tell. Don’t want everyone knowing that freaks little secret now do you ;)
Kendra.
I screw the paper back up and stuff it into my bag, at that moment Kendra looks up and smirks at me, I know now that I have no choice, I have to turn up to keep Rebecca’s secret safe. I give Kendra a quick nod before turning back to my work, the happiness from before now gone…instead filled with unease.
