chapter Seven

The door opened and Richard immediately pulled his face from Cassy, like nothing happened, shit bad timing.

Michael, Jonathan and Jacob came in, they said Lily told them where we were and Cassy was surprised they talked to her so quickly like that, she must have been shocked.

"You actually walked up to her and talked to her?" I was surprised, wondering how my best friend would have felt.

"What do you take me for, of course I did, we ate lunch together" Jonathan said.

"But you didn't even talk to her then"

"Still don't matter, I think she's quite cute even, I'm thinking maybe I should ask her for prom"

I gasped.

"Then what are you waiting for, hurry before she gets snatched" I was so happy.

"I will"

Jacob invited me out to come along with them and I didn't decline but instead asked if I could bring lily along to which they didn't reject, so we decided to meet at the nearest bus station to the school at 5 this evening, Cassandra immediately contacted lily and told her what happened and she was so thrilled to go but she made me come by her house, of course her plan for making me come over was so she could supervise my dressing.

"Oh please, you don't have the party clothes, all your clothes are just too modest or something, it's time to set the spirit of feminism free"

"Yeah but don't over do it too much, you know, so we won't make the wrong impression, you know how boys can be, it's useless to seduce them"

"Still you wouldn't want to wear a Mary sou dress now would you? Chop chop"

"Hey my dresses isn't like that, I dress pretty elegant and classy, just not slutty"

"Well you need to look extra slutty tonight, have you seen the way Richard looks at you now, almost like he's possessed, I'm so sure he's into you and is moments away from wanting to do anything to you"

"I told him not to try anything with me, he's so calculative "

"All the more reason, now go!" she threw me a dress and told me to try it on, I looked at it and sighed, once lily made up her mind there was no going back.

"Now sit down and let me fix you up"

The results? Well you should already guess.

"What's taking them so long?" Richard asked. He was wearing a blue shirt with white trousers and sneakers, his hair was still sleek and he brushed it back with a touch of recklessness.

And his friends too were no exceptions, tonight Richard really took the time to dress.

"You really put in extra work tonight, planning to woo someone tonight?" Michael teased.

"Stop talking rubbish, I normally dress like this"

"You don't have to hide it if you like her, you know, I think she's pretty cute and interesting," Jonathan said.

"And you guys definitely fit together trust me, it's so hilarious"

"So my relationship is for you to watch as comedy?"

"No, we didn't say anything" they held back their laughter and I just rolled my eyes.

"Calm down buddy" Jonathan patted his shoulder. "They're here" I raised my head to look and was stupefied.

Of course, just because she was shy and reserved didn't mean she didn't have all those killer stuff inside her which she always hide beneath those elegant and classy outfit she always wore, tonight she really dressed to impress, a red and black gorgeous long sleeved body hug gown that fell off her shoulder and exposed her cleavages and especially those amazing collarbone and she wore dark red ankle boots on her feets

Her hair was styled sophisticatedly and the actual length could be seen now.

Lily wore a black Mini skirt and a pink shirt with black boots. I stood up and walked straight to them or rather, her. The guys had an endless praise for them that they were already blushing, "you look absolutely stunning love"

"Wow thanks, you don't look so bad yourself"

"Really, I didn't know what to wear So I just casually picked anything"

That was a lie, I spent like two hours trying to pick out the best and I guess it paid off, Cassandra was really impressed with my dressing.

Of course we left, we went to a restaurant, to a bar and a karaoke bar.

"Cassy came and sing a song!" Jacob urged me on

"No, I don't really know how to sing," I insisted.

"Just one, simple one" Michael said

With all the egging on and everything I didn't have the heart to turn them down so I sang one, Rihanna- where have you been.

At 9pm, Lily told Cassandra to go home earlier and that she was leaving already. Jonathan accompanied her and left so I insisted on taking Cassy home, the other guys left too.

"I don't need you taking me home, I can walk by myself it's not that far, I should even be asking you to go, isn't your house far, hurry up and leave"

"I'm not going anywhere until I take you home, didn't you hear what lily said, I should escort you, so no"

"Since when did you start obeying people's request, you're just looking for excuses"

"Don't care, you coming"

"Go home Richard, seriously I'm fine"

"You're in such a hurry to get rid of me, why? Is it because…"

"No I'm not listening" I closed my ears, "I know what you're trying to say, and no, I don't feel awkward and I don't feel anything, so yeah, I'm just telling you to go home"

"Well your loss because we both aren't leaving here till you say I'm following you "

She checked her time . "Fine, let's go, but seriously this is the last time, there won't be any next times okay, you must listen to what I say, I'm your tutor "

"Let's just go first, " I grinned.

"Wipe that smile off your face "

"yes ma'am "
