The rest of the week went by pretty well. I wasn't as sad as I usually am, and instead of crying to Sam while on the phone, we actually had a normal conversation. Well, as normal as we could. We're best friends.

It was Friday night. I've been giving Jack rides home for a few days, but he told me that he was picking up his car for our date tomorrow. Date? Probably the technical term for it, but for us it was just hanging out. I was on the phone with Sam, and I couldn't stop smiling.

"Sam, I'm so excited." I said smiling. That's all I've been doing every time I think about Jack. I don't know what it is, but he makes me feel something. Something strange. I do not understand.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Nothing. Well - I'm just worried about you."

"Why?"

I was utterly confused. Why was he worried? Didn't he like Jack? I hope so. I feel us going somewhere.

"Yeah, I understand. But Jack is sweet, he's not going to hurt me, okay?"

He laughed, "For his sake, I hope you're right."

After we hung up, I got a text from Jack.

Jack: Can't wait for tomorrow. See you at 12 (;

Me: See you then. (;

Jack: Goodnight Blake. Sweet dreams.
