Ashland!

We just got back from the most AMAZING class trip to ASHLAND!!!!!

HEY, GUYS! GUESS WHICH TWO PEOPLE FROM OCEANCLAN FINALLY GOT THEMSELVES BOYFRIENDS!!!

LISA AND MOLLY!!!! OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOW I HAVE SOMEONE TO SHARE WITH MY NOT-SINGLENESS!

(By the way, don't tell Lisa I told you this...heh...)

Last night, we were all waiting in the meeting rooms to get onto the busses and go to a play. Brian whispers to me and Eliot, "Okay, don't tall anybody, but Eddie is planning on asking someone out tonight! I think I know who it is!"
"Who?" I asked, pretty sure myself. It was kinda obvious.
Lisa, of course, was the guess of both of us.

FLASHBACK:
Tuesday (last day at school for the week!) - in a math teacher's room, visiting Katy, at lunch. Eddie is taking a test.
He randomly goes, "Faye!"
I look up, surprised, as he's afraid of me (?). "What?"
"I...never mind. I'll tell you when you're older."
"WHAT???? NUUUU!!! TELL ME!!!" I get really paranoid when people do that. Haha.
He wouldn't. Finally, as he was about to leave, he comes up to me and says, "I think I love...we'll leave it at that."
-insertdeathofFaye-
END FLASHBACK.

I see Eddie motioning to Lisa, trying to get her to go somewhere with him. She refused in her awkward, lovable, Lisa-ish way. -sigh-
I'm over there at some point, and he pulls me and Eliot aside, and says, "I need help."
"Okay, what can we do?"
"I need to get Lisa away from Xiao."
I could feel an impish grin spreading across my face. "I can do that."
He starts freaking out. "But not right now! It has to be the right time, and..." (etc, etc...) Haha, Eddie.
Well, at some point, he said he wanted it to be "epic," which I can understand.
He didn't end up asking yesterday, but the play was amazing!

On the (six hour) drive home, we stop for lunch. Eddie and Lisa were on the other bus. Eddie has girls' stage makeup on, as he was a demo at a makeup workshop before we left. I just -must- take a picture, and we talk a bit about pointless stuff that has slipped my mind. As he was walking away, he turned, and said with his voice lowered, "I'm not single anymore!"
My jaw dropped in that oh-so attractive way I have, and I started jumping around (he dodged my hug), and screaming into my hands, like Lisa did when I got Eliot, only she was screaming into my arm. Actually, we had a very similar reaction, now that I think about it...

I attack Lisa when I see her, but she, being Lisa, wouldn't comment much.

OHOHOH! But when we had gotten home, and me, Lisa, Xiao, Brittany, and Eddie were hanging out in the school parking lot, Eddie's mom started driving up.
"My mom's here. Should we, like, hug, or something?" he asked Lisa.
She just kinda stood there, and said, "I don't know..."
He picked up his things (after goodbyes), and started to walk away.
"Wait, Eddie! Hug." Lisa said. It was perfect, as Lisa isn't a very openly affectionate person to most people, but she held her arms out to him.

He groaned, pretending to be annoyed (we all knew he wasn't), and put his suitcase down. He walked forward, into her waiting arms, and gave her a tight hug back. I held back a squeal.

Meanwhile, his mom had a very funny expression on her face. As they pulled away, we all started cracking up.

Oh, and, as Eddie walked away, Brittany said, "What? I don't get a hug, too? Why?" He laughed, and continued to his car.

"Because you're not dating him!" I said happily. It was satisfying to know something big to do with Lisa before Brittany. I know that's mean and selfish, but I'm human. I'm not proud of it, but at least I can admit it.

"Thanks for telling her like that," Lisa said sarcastically.

"Yup!" I answered cheerfully.

Oh, and the best part?

Eddie has an afro.
