Timeless

I had this really grand idea at about three in the morning. I mean sure, it was a bit of a stretch, making friends was hard for me but I was sure that this would guarantee my first friend in almost forever. I was starting my senior year of high school within the next week, and I wanted to go out with a bang, not literal but enough that people would finally notice me. I bought a shit ton of new clothes with the money I got for my birthday over the summer and bought a whole bunch of makeup. I practiced applying it for hours every day and I finally had it down perfectly. I even got my braces off and finally conviced my mother to let me wear contacts. I was really ready for my senior year. Everything was coming up in my favor. It was just this plan. This plan was ingenuously genious and I was sure that it would work the way I wanted it to.

The only thing that stood in my way was the new boy across the street. It was funny actually, how much him and I were really alike. He just moved here over the summer with his mother and younger brother. My mother and father wanted me to show him around, make him feel as comfortable as possible in this new enviroment. New York was a big city, one that someone could surely get lost in if they did not know the area as well as I did. I knew this place like the back of my hand. My small private school was nestled just outside of the city, but within walking distance when the weather got nice in the summer like it was now.
His name was Gerard, the boy I mean, and he was well...socially awkward I guess you could say. On top of that, me being the weirdo I was, I found him incredibly attractive. Sure, he was kind of lanky and had that serious emo vibe to him, but I could dig that. I, myself, was considered to be "emo" or more accurately a "misfit" though those were just names used by some assholes at school. His brother seemed nice too, even thought I never really had a full conversation with him. I guess you can say that Gerard's brother was the real reason I ever had the chance to meet Gerard. His brother, Mikey, was some genious and was granted a giant ass scholarship to my school, but Mikey and Gerard were a package deal. In the light of making our tiny private hell seem like some magical wonderland filled with spoiled rich kids and prodigies of sorts, they accepted both the brothers, taking Gerard under their wings at a small price.

Anyways, back to my royal plan. I needed some cool friends, not someone like Gerard following me around all day like a lost puppy. I decided that if I went out to get some frozen yogurt today with my new sense of style I might score myself some friends. It was easy for me to throw on a short blue sundress and skin toned wedged sandals. I even curled my auburn hair back and applied a light amount of makeup. Enough to cover every blemish and flaw, but not enough for my to choke on my air with every damn breath. As I skipped my way downstairs my mother decides to stop me and even has the audacity to make me invite the 'nice neighbor boy' to get froyo with me. Our conversation went a little like this:

Mom: Where are you going all dressed up like that Dakota?
Me: I'm going out to get some froyo.
Mom: Oh, well, why don't you invite that nice neighbor boy to go with you?
Me: Ugh, why?
Mom: Dakota, I haven't seen him leave that house in days! Be a dear, please?
Me: MOM LET MY LIVE MY DAMN LIFE!
Mom: DON'T TALK TO ME LIKE THAT!
Me: Alright, alright. I'll invite him if you get off my case about it.
Mom: Yay!

I roll my eyes as I walked past her and across the street to Gerard's house. He opened the door before I even knocked.

"Can I help you?" he asks.

"Um, why were you waiting by the door?" I ask.

"You may not realize this, but you and your mother speak so loudly I am sure the whole neighborhood
could hear that conversation you just had." he answers smugly.

"You know what, I don't want you to get fro-"

"Froyo with you? I don't want to go with you anyways." he laughs and goes to close the door.

"That is so rude, you know." I press my palm firmly against the door, causing him to pause.

"This is my house, get off my property you dumb girl." he sighs.

"I am not a dumb girl, and now you have to come with me to get froyo." I smirk and he rolls his eyes.

"You can't make me."

"Gerard, what's your last name?"

"Um...Way, why?"

"Mrs. Way!" I shouts, "Can your son come with me to get some froyo?!"

Gerard's mouth falls open and I smile to myself, clearly pleased with my idea.

"Shut up!" he whisper screams, "I'll come with you, god damn, just leave my mother out of this!"

"That's what I thought." I beam and start walking away, and him following quietly behind me.
