A Girl and a Whiteboard

Chapter Eight

I was hard core freaking out. Don't people usually freak out when they meet their friends parents? And this is why I hadn't slept at all last night since I got home. Not only did I have to freak out over whether or not I just went on a date with Bash but also I was meeting Andrew's family and I would have to explain myself to them.

I finished season ten of Grey's Anatomy so at least something good came out of it. I waited until six in the morning until I started getting ready. Andy said he would walk over around noon and I needed time to get ready and then pull myself together.

I made sure to get out of my bed without waking up Alec and then I went to take a shower. I took my sweet time and I even shaved, good job Emory!

What do I wear? We were just going to watch movies. Do I wear something comfy? No because then I'm going to look like a slob and I have to make a good first impression.

I decided on some flowy light grey shorts that look like a skirt but it's actually a skort, they were so comfortable. And then I wore a maroon loose t shirt with a pocket and then my maroon converse. Yes I'm a converse type of girl, I started off with vans and then converse won me over.

Now it was eight in the morning, only four more hours. The excitement and fear were really kicking in. I wasn't scared of meeting of meeting them, I was just afraid that they wouldn't approve of me. I know I'm making it sound like I'm dating Andy, but I desperately need their approval to be Andy's friend.

It's not easy. After what happened, I just haven't found anything worth saying. I'll talk when I'm ready but I'm just not ready now. I am selfish for shutting myself off from the world but sometimes you need to be selfish.

I was texting Andy last night until he fell asleep on me and he was laughing at me and making fun of me for being scared. I'm not a calm person whatsoever. I asked if I needed to bring something over but he said that he would provide the snacks and food, and that I just needed to get myself to come. I was left with the biggest part of all.

I hoped Mary Ann was up because I sort of forgot to ask for her permission to go. Luckily, she was in the kitchen sipping on some coffee. I sat down and I guess she was surprised I was even up this early, I was too because on weekends I usually hibernate.

'I was wondering if I could go over to Andy's house today? His mom is going to be there and so is his sister. We are just going to watch some movies and since Al wants to meet him, we can come back here for dinner, is that okay with you?'

I was a fast writer before, now I was lightning fast. She really liked Andy, and I know Al really liked Bash.

"You can go as long as you tell me how your date with Sebastian went!"

I told her everything and she was both happy and sad, "I thought Andy would've been the one to win your heart."

'I like them both as friends.'

"For now."

And then she left to go start off her day. I chose to make myself a smoothie to calm down my nerves. I made a smoothie Sydney used to make for me whenever I spent the night at her house. I made a plan to text her today, hopefully when I was with Andy so that he would keep me distracted. Now it was nine, and my hair was almost dry. Yes it takes years for my long hair to dry.

I decided that I was in a Rapunzel mood and put on my headphones and listened to Tangled's soundtrack on YouTube. I guess I really should've gotten some sleep because when I woke up it was twelve.

If that wasn't a sign then I don't know what was? I checked my phone as it buzzed, "I just left my house, be there in five." And then I turned into Dash from The Incredibles.
