-In the morning-

I wake up to the sound of an alarm, getting me to groan in response. I throw my arm around, hitting at the clock on the side table. My hand coming back with a piece of paper on it.

"Mm.. The fuck.?" I asked tiredly, trying my best to open the letter.

I rubbed at my eyes, trying to get a better look at the letter.

I saw some pretty sloppy, but also some pretty nice looking curse in front of me.

-The letter-

Dear Toby.

By the time you're reading this, I'm guessing the alarm had woken you up. I would've done it myself, but you needed the rest.

I wanted so you something with you, show you how I care. I'll be waiting for you on the porch whenever you're ready.

-Jack

-End of Letter-

I blushed as I finished reading the paper. "He wants to show me that he cares..?" I mumbled to myself, sitting up as I did.

I shoot out of bed.

WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR!? I DONT HAVE NICE CLOTHES! THERE ALL WORK CLOTHES!

I panicked looking through my closet for anything that could 'do' as 'nice' clothing. I did have one dress shirt.. The red one..

I really don't like how red looks on me.. I feel like it washes me out.. But all proxies had to have at least one red dress shirt according to Tim.

I grabbed a pair of blue jeans, the only ones without a hole in the knees in fact. And went to get changed. I looked at myself in the mirror, staring at the faded ends of my hair-

"I really wish I redid them.." I mumbled to myself, going on and getting dressed.

-10 minutes later-

I sat on my bed, tying up the laces of my converse- I would wear better shoes, but I literally don't own any other kind of shoe.

I jumped up once done, quickly heading out the door. Not really wanting to have to make Jack wait anymore.. Well till Jeff had to let his presents known.

"Oooh~ What's Mr. Rogers going looking all nice~?" He teased at me, standing in my way of the front door.

"You don't need to know, now move before I make you." I threaten, glaring at him a bit. "And if you call me that again I swear to god.." I added on, referring to the awful name he used.

"Come on- Why wouldn't you tell me-?" I snickered at me. "Is it a girl!? OOOH! Are you going on a date with a girlll!?" He laughed, leaning forward as he laughed at me.

"That's so pathetic! Wait till the other hear!" He gasped between laughs.

"I don't really care Jeff.." I said, crossing my arms. Trying not to give him the satisfaction of my panic. "Now move."

He stopped laughing, now just glaring at me. "You're such a buzz kill. Wouldn't hurt to laugh-" He snarled, as he walked away. Pushing me as he walked past.

I glared as he walked past, but quickly stopped once he left. Rushing out the front door.
