~*~Chapter 8~*~
"Go away, Brian!" Ali yelled as she heard a knock at the door of her apartment.
Brian opened the door. It was locked, but it opened so that there was just a big enough crack for him to be heard clearly.
"I'm so sorry, Ali! I really am! I just couldn't hold it in anymore, Ali. I've liked you ever since I met you that day backstage, but Nick had his eyes on you and you had your eyes on him. Plus he's my best bud - I wasn't about to go after the girl he was eyeing. Well now things took a turn for the worse in your relationship with him and I'm not trying to take advantage of the whole situation, but I really like you. Will you be my girlfriend?"
The apartment door creaked open.
"How could you do this to me Brian?! I have SO MUCH to deal with right now, and you throw THIS at me?!" Ali whined.
Brian left the apartment and shut the door behind him.
Oh no, Ali thought to herself. What have I done?
----------------------------------------------------
"Hello?"
"Hi, Ali. Have you cooled down yet?"
"Hey Bri. I thought you were mad at me," Ali said.
"No. I just realized how dumb it was to tell you that I was practically in love with you while you're going through this whole Nick thing, and I didn't want you to get too steamed, so I just left as soon as I could."
Ali paused for a while. "How about we just keep it that we're good frineds, ok?" she suggested.
"Ok. Sounds good to me. So what are you doing later?"
"I was supposed to go over to Lisa's apartment to meet her, AJ, Kev, Fiona, Loraina, Howie, and Lianne for dinner. You wanna join us?"
"Sure, sounds like fun," Brian said.
"Ok, so I'll meet you at Lisa's apartment at around 6:30 then?" Ali asked.
"Sure, see ya then! Bye Al."
"Bye."
Ali took a shower and changed into some black capri pants and a baby blue gypsy style shirt. She styled her hair and put on some flavored lip gloss. When she was finally done, it was 6:15, so she started heading over to Lisa's apartment.
