She took a pair of uniques headphones to pull it all together and just in time Eric texted her. She sat on her bed and read it "txt me yo adress will pick you up frm there" She sighed and texted it. "he wnna be black so bad" she laughed to herself. opening spotify putting on a random playlist. Sza started playing she danced around her room for a few minutes untill hearing a honk from downstairs. She instanly ran downstairs running past her mom and dad "where you goin Tanya!!?" Her mom yelled confused. "with friends mom! remember!!? gotta go love u bye!!" she locked the door and slammed it. before taking a deep breath and walking to Erics car. She obviously lied. her mom would freak out if she knew she had a date with a boy. (date??) and she cant decide if shed freak out in joy or anger.
She walked to the car and Eric unlocked the door for her. She got in "Hey??" She said quite nervous. her first real date. Eric smiled "Hey Tanya ,, you look good.. i like yo hair." Tanya flushed a bit smiling nervously.. "Thanks, So where are we going?" She attempted to get comfy in her seat. "Bowling , hope that's ight. i invited one of my friends." Invited one of his friends? call that cockblocking... "Oh ,, cool.." Tanya played it off.
