The most popular guy at school is finally mine - for real, this time!
But he's making me keep it a secret. Hello! What's the point of dating SVU's quarterback, Tom Watts, if no one knows about it?
"Whay did we only go out that one time back in September?" Tom asked.
Duh! Chloe thought. Because you were seeing "someone else", Tom. And to add insult to injury, you thought my name was Cody! "Well, you-," she began, then stopped, feeling a sudden stab of fear. Was he about to remember that he had heard the Chloe had told everyone they were a hot and heavy couple?
"Oh, wait a minute - I know why," Tom said.
Chloe waited, poised in agony.
Tom looked up sheepishly. "Now I remember," he said, and Chloe's heart fell. Well, you had a nice date with him at least, She thought, already beginning to counsel herself. "It was because of Georgina, of course," Tom finished.
Oh. The girlfriend. Well, that was almost as bad. Now that he'd remembered what had kept them apart, was Tom going to say something like, "So that's why, even though this has been really fun, I guess we have to keep it friends for now"? Not like that would be the worst thing in the world, Chloe decided, but she'd be pretty bummed. And confused as to why Tom had asked her out in the first place.
He's got a girlfriend, right? It can't be "going too far" to ask why he's asked me out on a date too!
But what terrible thing was he going to say?
