Chapter 33: "Cherry clafoutis, be it then?"

-AMANDA-

I'm standing infront of my wardrobe right now and yes, I can't choose any cute outfits. All I have are jogging pants, oversized pullovers and shirts. Somehow I regret not buying any dresses or cute clothes. The only decent outfits  I have are mom's plain black one and the one Raven bought for me. I guess, I'll go with the jeans.

After I've finished fishing out my outfit, which is just a basic blue jean, my red sneakers and a plain white shirt, I peek outside my window.

Just as he said, Charles is already standing outside my house. He's wearing a green bomber jacket, white shirt, red 'Chucks' and black jeans.

-I don't know why, but I like him this way more than his usual look. The jock and his jogging pants...Something looks odd. Now that I'm clearly looking at him, he's a bit taller than Raven and Blake. OH GOSH! WHY AM I THINKING ABOUT THOSE TWO RIGHT NOW?!-

I stop spacing out and stare at the man outside again. He's looks up to my window and flashes his colgate smile on me. I flush and instantly regret spying on him. -I'M SO SO SO STUPID!- I rush down to greet him.

"Good morning." Charles genuinely smiles at me and checks out my outfit. -I knew it! I should've worn the black dress!- I awkwardly look at myself, but out of no where he adds. "You look great today."

My face is heating up again and as I look at him, he shyly looks away and I think he's flushing a bit. -What is this? Why does my heart pound faster than usual? I'm pretty sure that I'm over him, so why?-

"T-thank you. You look great aswell." I managed to talk back.

-GOSH! "... You look great aswell." I'm such an idiot!!! Out of all compliments, this is what I said?! He must think I'm a freak!!!-

Luckily, he just smiles at me and asks "Are your parents home? "

"Yeah. Why?"

"I just want to greet them and tell them you're with me today."
-Charles and his manners, I swear.-

We're driving around New York, the most crowded and popular city I've ever been in -Jokes aside, probably the only city I've been in my entire life.-

Charles said, that he wants to show me a place and that I might like it, so I agreed to it. Shortly we arrive in our destination. Little did I know, we arrived in Wollman Rink. - 'Ice skating, how fun!' Gawd... sarcasm is real.-

"We're here!" He smiles at me and I force myself to retun it. -I don't wanna ruin his plans, so I guess I'll have to live with it.-  It seems like he noticed something, but still smiles brightly at me. "Are you alright? I don't want you to feel uncomfortable. If you like, we could go somewhere else."

-Yes, take me out of here.-

"N-no, it's alright. I've never tried it and I think it's great that you brought me here. Now I can try it." I laugh at myself and on how sweet he is for thinking about me first. He chuckles, gets out and opens the door for me.

He gives me a hand and gently squeeze mine. "Ready? I've got jogging pants and knee pads, incase you want to use them." -Wow, he must really think I'm that clumsy.-

I shake my head and get out of his car. "No, thank you."

______________________________________

As predicted, the Ice rink is crowded with children and elders. -I'm going to die.- First we went to borrow the skating shoes, since he didn't have any either. Then after we had our shoes on, we waited for some minutes, because there were too many people. -It's kinda sweet that he tied my shoes and even gave me his bomber jacket, which is way too big for me.-
