"No, okay. Okay. It's fine. It's just dinner, right?"
Izzy should've known that them posing as a couple would reach their families, because Miguel's mom was now wanting Izzy to come over for dinner. She was currently hovering over Nina's shoulder as the two girls wandered through the American Eagle store they were in at the mall. Izzy couldn't even imagine how Kayla was going to react to the news that Izzy has a boyfriend, especially after what happened with Ethan.
A little bit after Cobra Kai practice, Izzy was confused as to why Miguel was texting her, but when she opened her phone to see the reason — she didn't know what to do.
"Right. It's just dinner. What could go wrong? Miguel actually learns something about you? It won't interfere with anything." Nina spoke like she was trying her best to convince Izzy, because she was.
Izzy followed her best friend as Nina continued walking, watching her best friend pick items off of the racks. The Vera girl was trying her best to not come off as a nervous wreck, because having dinner with parents terrified her, especially when she has bad luck with them. Also the fact that she's not actually dating Miguel, so it was going to be awkward.
"Yeah, it'll be okay." Izzy sighed to herself, deciding to shrug the situation off.
Nina finally turned around to show Izzy the choices of wardrobe she had picked out. "Which ones do you think I should get?" Nina asked the other.
A huff breath came from Izzy as she looked at the shirts that she was holding up, pointing to every single one. "All of them." Izzy then told Nina who grew a smile on her face at what Izzy had said.
"I love your mind." Nina said in a happy sigh, turning to go towards the checkout lane.
Izzy strayed behind, pulling out her phone to unlock it and go to her messages where the unanswered text from Miguel was left.
Miguel Sooo Johnny told my mom I had a girlfriend after I told him not to and now she wants you to come over for dinner... what do we do?
A breath left Izzy's mouth as she looked at the screen of her phone. Fuck. She was really about to agree to have dinner with Miguel and his mom, and Johnny for all Izzy knows. If you asked Izzy, this was her personal hell. It must've been her karma for something, that's all she could tell herself. But, she's always been on the dramatic side.
