"Wanna Hold Hands?"

"i love you :) bye" I read the text from Taylor and shut my phone. I hadnt actually met him yet but my friend, Chrisa, texted him off your phone once, pretending to be me. My softball game was at Central tonight and it was freezing. I shoved my phone into my back pocket and walked into the duggout. I sat on the bench beside my friend Kristen, who was also on the team. This is probably where we would both continue to be the whole game. We never played even though we're both pretty good. But thats ok..the assistant coach was hot.
We lost. No shocker there. I walked out of the duggout and dropped everything when I saw Keisha and Chrisa. They go to Central so i dont see them very often.. I ran over to them and hugged them both. "Hey!" Keisha yelled. Shes really pretty but not very popular..probably cause shes in band. Shes part indian so she has pretty skin and dark brown eyes and hair that came to her shoulders. Chrisa was beautiful. Half mexican so she has a good tan and shiny long black hair. And here I am with long, curly dirty..blonde hair, brown eyes, and kind of pale. People tell me I'm pretty but i just cant see it. "Hope will you please stay?" Chrisa asked you, "theres someone i want you to meet." You looked over at your mom and she mouthed "hurry up" to you. "I cant" I said. "Ugh ok" she said. I started walking away and Keisha screamed, "i love you!" I threw up the 'deuces' sign and yelled 'i love you' back. On the way home I got a text from a weird number that said, "Hey :)" "Who is this?" I replied. "Adam. Chrisa's friend." "Ok cool" I replied. I lost count of how many guys Chrisa has tried to set me up with. I just broke up with Damien about 3 months ago. I thought he was the greatest guy ever. Boy, i was wrong. He was a pervert. Not even that cute either. Really pale with black hair that was way too long. The only thing that great about him was his eyes, blue. They werent that pretty of a blue though so it didnt make much of a difference. Maybe this Adam guy would be cute. He seemed pretty cool so far. I found out he plays guitar, baseball, and football. He thought it was hot that I play sports. Once I got home i looked him up on facebook. Dang..he's pretty hot. He looked kinda tan and had bright blue eyes and light brown hair. He looks like a better looking version of Chip in the movie "Jennifer's Body". And definately way out of my league. I bet he didnt even know what i look like so i texted him, "So your havin this long conversation with me and you dont even know what i look like lol." I tried not to make it too obvious. I layed back on my bed and my phone buzzed, "No Chrisa showed me you on facebook :) your really pretty :)" I smiled, "So your textin me cause you think im pretty?(: haha" "Actually Chrisa sent you the first two texts :)" he replied. "Oh so she's makin you text me(:" "No when i saw your picture i was like damn shes hot give me her number :) and they were talkin about you and you sounded cool :)" I continued texting Adam for a couple weeks then one morning he sent me, "do you want to go to the movies at 7?" God, I was so nervous already. I thought for a minute. "Um sure but can I ask Chrisa to come? I doubt my mom would let me go with just you..since she doesn't know you." There was no way in hell that I was gonna meet him without someone to make it less awkward. My phone buzzed, "Sure that's fine" he said. "So..what movie?" "Battle L.A.?" he asked. I had never even heard of that movie but anyway i replied, "sounds good." After I begged my mom to let me go, I called Chrisa:
me: you have to come! Chrisa pleeeaasssee!
Chrisa: but Hope i dont wanna be the 3rd wheel
me: you wont be i swear. honestly, i'll probably talk to you even more than I'll talk to him
Chrisa: fine. but only because i set yall up.
When I hung up, i immediately ran to my room and stood in front of my closet. What the hell am I supposed to wear? I pulled out a nice top.Too dressy. Then I pulled out a tshirt. Ew, too lazy.After my floor was covered in clothes, I finally decided on a long sleeve hollister shirt and jeans. I had to wear my hair curly, because it was pouring down rain outside. I look so much better with my hair straight but if it got wet..you dont even wanna know how it wouldnt look. I finished up my makeup and my mom drove me to meet Chrisa. Once me and Chrisa got to the movie, we ran inside, tryin not to get soaked, and got our tickets. I could feel butterflies in my stomach fluttering. "He's here" Chrisa said, in a high song-singy voice. I turned toward the door and saw him walking toward us. He's cute, dang. I started freaking out, "Oh my god, what do I do?" Chrisa ignored me and said hey when Adam got close to us. I looked at him and he smiled. "hey.." I said. I could hear the nervousness in my own voice. "Well I'm gonna go talk to Debbie" Chrisa said, "Adam's mom." I glared at her, and she laughed and she walked away. Me and Adam were just standing there in silence. Neither one of us knew what to say..so we didnt say anything except when he asked how I was. I kept looking over at Chrisa, giving her the eye. "Can you two not talk to each other?" Debbie asked and laughed. I shook my head and nervously chuckled. Chrisa skipped back to us, "Well it's about time for the movie." We walked into the theater room. Chrisa sat down, then me, then Adam. Adam started playing the games on Chrisa's phone. Me and Chrisa talked while the previews were on. I could hear a couple people talking real loud, walking in. A weird guy voice said, "is anyone in here?" In a joking, girly voice. It was my good friend Rachel, her bf, and two of his friends. "HEY HOPE!" She yelled when she saw me. I half waved because I was embarrassed.
