I pushed the key into the lock and turned the knob of my apartment door.
No surprise. There sat my cat, Soy, on top of my kitchen table sleeping. I couldnt help but smile. She is the cutest thing and im so happy I have her. I set down my bag and walked into my room. I had a stressful day at class today and all i wanted to do was sleep.
My phone buzzed.
iMessage: Steve
"wanna go out for drinks tonight?"
I sighed. I didnt want to leave my cozy bed but i mean, i do need a break.
iMessage to: Steve
"what time"

I looked at the clock on my wall.

iMessage to: Steve
"sounds great"

I rolled out of my slumber and flopped to my bathroom. I grabbed my crunchy washcloth and washed my face with a fresh foaming cleanser to wake me up.
I lazily tied my hair in a half bun up-do that looked presentable. After touching up my skin with some foundation i cat-flicked some eyeliner and applied mascara. I exited my bathroom and put on some black ripped skinny jeans, my oversized red flannel and black boots.
I had a weird feeling in my stomach and i didnt know why. I felt nervous but i was just going out for drinks with my best friend, whats up with that?
Walking down the hall to the kitchen made me realize i should probably eat a snack before i leave so im not starving when i get there. I warmed left over soup and ate some crackers. Soy meowed at me and jumped from the kitchen table to my lounge chair and onto my lap. "Get off!" i said to her.
"I dont want your nasty cat hair in my food." She looked up at me innocently. I patted her head and brought my dishes to the sink.
I checked my phone.
6:43
I grabbed my keys, wallet and phone and left the apartment.

I pushed opened the doors to the bar and saw steve waiting for me ahead. I ran up and grabbed his arm.
"Hey!" he said happily.
"Hi! I missed you!" i responded.
"I missed you too its great to see you." He hugged me tightly.
As my head was on his shoulder i looked ahead of me. A group of guys sat in the back laughing. One of them was quite attractive. He stood out to me. His dirty blonde-gelled hair. The way he smiled. Steve pulled away and escorted me to sit down. His phone rang.
"Ugh im so sorry i have to take this ill be like 2 minutes."
"Go ahead" I smiled.
l sat there sipping my drink and looked over at the blondie i was examining earlier. Except this time he was looking too.
