I know my lines. My hair and makeup are done. My dress is on. I know all of the dances. My mic pack was fine. I have no reason to be nervous. I've never been nervous
( ... )
I have no idea why I brought Arianna. I mean, I have an idea, but that's a freakin' lame idea so it's not the real idea. The real idea is... I don't know what the real idea is.
The real idea is... That I came here to see Carly, and it has nothing to do with anything else. And Arianna's here because she's here.
... That is such crap.
Okay, you can handle this Howell. Just don't answer any of your little sister's questions, because if you do, there's going to be more questions. Let her meet Carly, and it'll... explain itself.
... That's crap too.
Damn it!
"Hey."
And she's here. What do I do? I stand up. That seemes to be working so far. And with the way Arianna's looking at me, I know for a fact this isn't going to go as well as I think it's going to. I can see the millions of questions on her face already.
Damn it. Damn damn damn damn damn.
"Hey." I smiled, trying to keep things casual. That works, doesn't it? It freakin' has to.
"My brother doesn't smile like that around other girls. Why does he do it with you?"
Nice to meet you too, thanks for asking me the most embarrassing question you possibly could. Really, it's nice to get it out of the way. All I have to do is give the blushing a few seconds to pass--because I can feel it happening and I don't know what else to do--while Sam answers her.
...He's not going to answer her, is he?
Why not?!
I have enough to worry about without having to explain to a nine, ten, possibly eleven year old that her brother likes me because I kiss him, and that no, we're not really a couple, we don't date.
We fight. And make up. And fight again. Then something else happens.
There's also that little thing how our friends hate each other, and how Madsen tried to get me to leave town. I bet he'll try harder now, after what he saw.
I know he was looking pretty damn determined to do somethingSo honestly, this isn't going to work out at all, but I have to act like it is to Arianna anyway, because she thinks he smiles at
( ... )
What does that mean? That's silly, that doesn't actually answer my question at all. And Sam's not saying anything, so that means he's not going to answer my question either.
Does this mean she's his girlfriend? Ooo...
"So...Have you ever seen the movie Footloose?"
"No..." I frowned at her, trying to figure out what was going on. I can't believe they want me to sit through the whole thing and not know. That's dumb. Very dumb. "What's it about?"
I guess I'm going to have to deal with it for now.

"Thanks for coming, Sam."
"No problem." I shrugged a little. "This is--"
"You must be Arianna. ( ... )
