Journal Entry # 4 Friday (past 6pm ) 2019
I asked Orion out on a date to Main Event. I'd only been there once; on a Girl-scout event. When my parents and I came in, Orion wasn't there.

Orion walked in and I smiled. My heart fluttered a bit upon seeing him. "Hey." He said. I smiled, suddenly nervous. "Hi."Dad said. "Name's Lucas." He shook Orion's hand. "Orion." He said. "Sorry I'm late, my dad turned on the wrong street, and went to the wrong place." He laughed a little. Dad smiled. His expression became serious. "Anything you do to my daughter, I'll do to you." Orion smiled nervously. "Yes sir." Dad nodded, and my parents turned to leave. "We'll be back around 10pm." He said. They left, and Orion and I were now practically alone, standing awkwardly together in the lobby.
Orion tapped his pockets, rocking back and forth on his heels. "So.." He said. "What do you want to do first?" I looked around in awe. "Ooh!" I said. "Lazertag!"
Orion and I stood in line to lazertag, talking. Minutes slowly dragged by as the group before us took forever.

We sat on the bench waiting for my parents to pick me up. I felt very awkward, and my arms were out stiff by my sides. Orion noticed and asked if I was okay. "Y-yeah."I said. "I'm fine." He stared at me weirdly. "Okay.." I thought of kissing him, but I didn't.. I can do this,.. I thought of moving to kiss him. No I can't, no I can't.. My heart beat in my chest. I want to kiss him.. I frowned. But why am I so nervous?
