Today, as usual, I got up, took a shower and went to school. Janie, my only and best friend, should be waiting for me at school. We agreed to meet at the front of the school and as soon as I got close to the school, I saw her. And she saw me, too, and she went to meet me.
-Hi, Lil! Well, you finally came, because I was waiting.
-Hi, I'm sorry, I didn't count in time.
-Come on, let's go, let's go to that shop and sit down. - And she pointed to an empty shop. - Look," she said as she sat down, "I saw such a great dress in one store, and you'll see it fall down!
- You haven't invited Mark yet, or he hasn't invited you. What are you so sure of?
-I'll have time to invite you in, but you just have to be fully armed. What are you going to do for the ball?" she asked and looked at me with curiosity, but when she noticed a note of sadness on my face, she understood. - Clearly, you're not going to the ball!...
-But...I don't even have a date!
-If I wanted to, I would have found it a long time ago! And I don't think I'll even have to look for it - every other guy will agree to go with you if you just want to!
-And not everyone. And what if I don't want to go to this ball?
-If you don't go, I won't go either! You know me and that's a fact, and the facts are stubborn... - and we laughed.
-You should go to that ball after all. Oh, and one more tip - ask Mark soon, or suddenly they'll take you away - you won't even notice... - and I laughed, and I knew she'd definitely go to this ball so that it wouldn't happen to me if Mark agreed.
-Well... let's say I invite him today, let's say after school..." she said thoughtfully, "but promise me you'll do something for me...
-"I'll do anything!" I said, and the bell rang.
-Are you sure?" she asked when we got up.
-Or rather, it doesn't happen! I promise.
-Then I'll tell you more about lunch.
As funny as it may sound, but for the first time in my life I was waiting for lunch, and not because it's so important to me, I'm just curious and I like to reveal some secrets, secrets, and in general I don't like any intrigue.
And finally, the next call rang, and I went to the dining room. And here comes Janie and I at the table, she's already here. I sat down.
-Okay, let's do it.
-So you promised me, and you'd do it?!
-Of course, I promised.
-So you...
-Я…
-You're... gonna have to invite the first guy to the ball who walks into the dining room when I count to three!
-Did you think long?
-Well, in general, no, but it doesn't matter.
-I can see that!
-Why?
-Yes, this is absurd!
-Well, if any scary, small and pimply comes in, you will invite someone who will be next.
-You are definitely not yourself!
-This is...
-No! -No!
-Two... and... three! - and she looked at the dining room entrance, and I looked too.
-I said it was absurd!
-And what, half of the guys are dying for you, and half of the girls' school are dying for you, and half of the girls' school for Ian. And then, you promised, I looked at Ian, who was the first to enter the dining room after Janie said three, Ian smiled as if he'd heard us talking, and I was humming.
-Okay, since I promised I'd have to keep my promise, but if I didn't make it, it wasn't my fault!
-You'll do it all, and whoever said you had to keep your promise today has a whole month before the ball! And by the way...
-What else? -What else?
-We'll have to buy a dress!
-This is for sure! - we laughed. - Okay, let's go to class, we have math together now, right?
-Yes, you're right, let's go. - and we went to class.
I couldn't think of anything else but my promise. After class, I said goodbye to Janie and went home. But even at home, I couldn't stop thinking about it. How was it? How? How? How? How? I didn't know. I'm not going to hide it, Ian, I've liked it for a long time, but before I tried not to think about it, but now... it's very difficult. The next day, as always, I went to school.
-He agreed! - Jenny threw herself at my neck with those words as soon as I got closer.
-Who agreed? And in general, what happened? Tell me everything okay!
-Mark and he said he would have invited me, but he was afraid I wouldn't!
-That's great!
-Really?
-Of course! Let's go to school - today it's cool.
-Yes, let's go. - At school, she talked about what she would wear to the ball, what kind of hair would do, etc., of course, half the words I did not listen to, but in general, I was able to present her image, of course, beautiful, but somehow too, definitely not for me.
-How do you think it will be beautiful?
-Of course!
-Do you think so?
-I know! -The bell rang. -Come on, let's go to class!
-Yes, let's go.
Janie wanted to spend lunch with Mark today, and of course, she was sorry for a long time and begged me not to be offended, even though I understood everything, but she didn't calm down until I was the tenth time she probably said everything was okay. So I had to do this lunch alone, but Ian came up to me.
