Bye I waved for the last time till we were out of sight.
CONTINUATION
As we walked home, I couldn't help but think about Alex and his girlfriend. I wondered who she was and what she looked like. Was she pretty? Was she smart? Did Alex love her?
I shook my head, trying to clear my thoughts. I didn't need to be thinking about Alex and his girlfriend. I needed to focus on myself and my own life.
When we got home, my mom was in the kitchen, making breakfast. "Hey, sweetie! How was your night at Caroline's?" she asked, giving me a warm smile.
"It was fine, Mom," I replied, trying to sound casual. "We just hung out and watched a movie."
My mom raised an eyebrow. "Just a movie, huh? You're not going to tell me what really happened?" she asked, a hint of amusement in her voice.
I sighed, knowing that my mom could see right through me. "Mom, I don't want to talk about it, okay?" I said, trying to sound firm.
My mom nodded, but I could tell she was curious. "Okay, sweetie. But if you ever want to talk about it, I'm here for you."
I smiled, feeling grateful for my mom's understanding. "Thanks, Mom."
The rest of the day was pretty uneventful. I spent most of it lounging around the house, watching TV and browsing my phone.
But as the day drew to a close, I started to feel restless. I didn't want to just sit around and do nothing. I wanted to do something fun, something exciting.
And then, suddenly, I had an idea.
I grabbed my phone and dialed Caroline's number. "Hey, Caro! What's up?" I asked, trying to sound casual.
"Not much, Tiff," Caroline replied. "Just hanging out at home. What about you?"
"I was thinking of going to the mall tonight," I said, trying to sound nonchalant. "Want to come with me?"
There was a pause on the other end of the line. "Tiff, I don't know...I was really looking forward to just relaxing at home tonight."
I sighed, feeling a little disappointed. "Okay, no big deal. I'll just go by myself then."
But then Caroline spoke up again. "Wait, Tiff. I'll come with you. But only if we can meet up with Tyler and Alex."
My heart skipped a beat at the mention of Alex's name. But I tried to play it cool. "Sure, that sounds like fun. I'll pick you up at 7?"
"Sounds good to me," Caroline replied. "See you then."
I hung up the phone, feeling a mix of emotions. I was excited to go to the mall and hang out with my friends. But at the same time, I was nervous about seeing Alex again.
What would happen when we see each other? Would things be awkward between us?
I didn't know, but I was determined to find out.
I spent the rest of the day getting ready for our night out. I took a long shower, did my hair and makeup, and picked out a cute outfit.
When Caroline arrived at my house, she looked stunning in a black dress and heels. "Wow, Caro, you look amazing!" I exclaimed.
Caroline smiled, looking pleased with herself. "Thanks, Tiff. You look pretty great yourself."
We drove to the mall, chatting and laughing along the way. When we arrived, we met up with Tyler and Alex.
Alex looked even more handsome than usual, with his hair messy and his eyes sparkling. I felt my heart skip a beat as he smiled at me.
But I tried to play it cool, not wanting to give away my true feelings. "Hey, Alex," I said, trying to sound casual.
"Hey, Tiffany," Alex replied, his eyes locked on mine.
I felt a shiver run down my spine as our eyes met. But then Caroline interrupted, breaking the spell.
"Okay, guys, let's go get some food! I'm starving!" she exclaimed.
We all laughed and followed Caroline to the food court. As we walked, I couldn't help but steal glances at Alex.
I wondered what the night had in store for us. Would things be awkward between us, or would we be able to put our feelings aside and just have fun?
Only time would tell.
