Score My Heart // Chapter 6

We got back to our dorm, and Callie still hadn’t said anything. We brushed our teeth and took showers in silence, then finally while we were in bed, trying to sleep she spoke;
“So, are you going out with Sidney tomorrow?” she asked quietly.
“Yeah,” I murmured back “Are you OK with that?”
“No, not really” She said coldly. “I like him y’know”
“I know, I’m sorry, but you haven’t even spoken to him, it’s just a date,” I whispered back.
And with that she turned her back to me, and shut off the lights.

The next day I spent most of my time helping Tyler pick out a wardrobe, because his taste in clothes was repelling all female life forms, and he was desperate. We shopped around for a bit, picking up things from Hollister and American Eagle, then stopped for ice cream.

“So,” he said taking a lick out of his Pistachio cone “I hear you’ve got a date with Sidney Crosby tonight”
“How’d you know that?” I asked
“Callie told me,” he stated. “Is it true?”
I felt my cheeks flush, “Yeah, it is.”
“Just tell me if he tries to grab-ass you, I think I can take him,” Tyler said.
I laughed, it was true, Tyler was a giant, at 6’7” he’d take Sidney down in no time.
“She seemed pretty pissed when she told me, is everything alright with you guys?” He asked with an eyebrow raised.
“Um, no, not really, she’s pretty angry, she likes him and all” I said taking a jab at my lemon sorbet. “It’s awkward.”
Tyler just shrugged his shoulders and continued stuffing his face with his ice cream, which was his way of saying he’s going to stay out of it.

I got back to my dorm to find Callie gone, but her signature scent of Vera Wang Princess was still lingering in the room. I sighed and plopped down on the bed. I looked at my clock then jumped up and headed for the washroom. It was 7:30, and Sidney would be here any minute. I took a rapid speed shower, washing my hair as quickly as possible. I wrapped a towel around myself, brushed my hair and teeth then started to apply my makeup. I had just finished my eyeliner when I heard a knock on my door. I ran over and opened it, to find Sidney, dressed in a blue striped collared shirt and jeans; his curls gelled back, looking utterly shocked. Shit. I’m still in my towel, I realized.
“I love your outfit for tonight, really I do, but I’m not sure the restaurant will let you in like that.” Sidney noted, laughing.
“Uh, yeah, sorry, I’m running late. Give me a minute while I change ok?” I felt myself blush.
“Yeah sure.”

I grabbed my outfit out of the top of my dresses then ran into the bathroom to change. Ten minutes later I bolted out of the door wearing a red strapless dress with black skinny jeans and a black wrap sweater. I walked over to Sidney, to see him looking almost as shocked as he did when I first opened the door.
“Wow,” he said, “You look beautiful”
“Thanks,” I said with a smile on my face, “Let’s go.”
He grabbed my arm and we walked down the hall, passing by Chanelle who shot me a glare that said that Callie had definitely talked to her. I just shrugged it off, I felt so comfortable in Sidney’s grasp that whatever Callie and Chanelle were planning didn’t matter. I’d deal with that later, right now, I was on Cloud Nine. And the date hadn’t even started yet.
