I didn’t wait for him to pull away before I started back to the house, doing everything I could not to break out into a full run. It was rare for my confidence to waver, but Kye rejecting me was enough to make me want to puke.
Friday
Daisy
Are you still showing up tomorrow?
Kye
Yeah, I’ll be the super annoyed tattooed guy in a fast car, hoping that his fake girlfriend says I can go drive instead.
Daisy
Do you like doing anything other than driving?
Kye
Does riding bikes count?
Daisy
Like a bicycle?
Kye
Cute. I mean motorcycles.
Daisy
Yeah, that counts.
Kye
Then no.
Daisy
Weird.
Kye
I would guess that isn’t the first time you’ve called me weird, so what do I care?
Daisy
You would be correct.
Weirdo.
Kye
Prom queen.
Daisy
I’ll take that as a compliment.
Kye
What if it wasn’t one?
Daisy
I’ll still take it as a compliment.
Kye
See you tomorrow…Prom queen
Daisy
See you then…Weirdo

“I still can’t believe you agreed.”
