I knock on the door five to seven times before I found out that there's a door bell, what! I'm excited you know!
Lucy opens the door with a smile, she looks cuter now , she wears a cute little dress with flowers in it ,
I entered her house and closed the door I showed her the flowers I bought before going there
" why thank you... That's so sweet of you ... Pls wait for me there for a moment " she pointed the couch, I gently sat on her soft couch and looked around while she entered the kitchen,
Her house is well fixed, there's decorations everywhere, she pretty much like flowers, there's a painting hanging on the wall with her name on the side Lucy Caster , cute name... I thought.... She came back holding a vase with the flower I gave her, she placed the vase on the table in front of me
" so... Yeah umm... " I started but she cut me
" I've prepared the dinner already.... Come "
I followed her to the dining room
The table was well fixed, there's a flower in the middle , two plates are in the table there's chicken and beans with mashed potato and gravy, I sat down as well as she.

" so where do we start " she asked
" umm... How about ... Why do you want a date"
" cause living alone is sad you know " she grabbed her fork and started eating
" why do you live alone anyway, you're only 17"
I started playing with my beans
" well mom thinks I need to prove that I'm responsible enough, so I moved out and got here, living alone is fine but living with someone is better " she smiled as she ate her mashed potatoes
" wow that's... Well... Why online I mean you could just meet one, like you know, dating someone you met already "
" what's the purpose of date when you already know that someone "
I gave her a confused face
" the idea of date is to know someone "
" ohh..." I'm speech less, she started to laugh
" what? " I asked
" you've been setting dates of other people and you still don't know the true meaning of date?! "
I shook my head and started to laugh too
" I'm an idiot OK "
She took a deep breath but burst to laugh again when she looked at me
" you have a cute laugh " I said looking at her
She stopped laughing , looked at me for 4-5 seconds then continue eating, I continued as well.

I almost finished my food when I saw her looking at me with her hands supporting her face
" how about you... " she said I looked at her and swallowed my food
" what's your story? " I drank my water
" me umm... I live alone too "
" why? " she said leaning forward as if she's interested
" well my parents are always out of town so... Yeah... But they actually do go home sometimes "
" oh... So you know how it feels... To be alone "
I nodded
" but if you found your hobby it won't be that boring "
Then silence came...

After the dinner i said my thanks then lead me through the door
" umm so... Thank you again... For the dinner " I said nervously
" yeah thank you too for helping me find my date "
She almost close the door...
" wait!! " I said then she opened it again
" yes?" Crap now what
"I'm really bad at maths and... I think I should... Well... Could you tutor me till Exams?"
Of course she wouldn't you little!!!
"Sure!" I stopped thinking about horrible stuff
"Sure?" Is she for real?
"Yeah why not? I mean helping others doesn't hurt"
"Oh OK then umm so..."
"Maybe every after class?"
" yeah.. Great umm so... Bye? "
"Bye!" She smiled
"Yeah goodnight!"
"Goodnight!" She closed the door
" yeah!!! " I shouted then the door opened
"What?" She asked
"Oh it's ah it's nothing" I scratch the back of my neck
" oh OK bye " she said as she closed the door
I bit my lips and run back home

As I go to bed I texted her a goodnight
