8| Mission impossible

Today had to be one of the few days where I was positive from early in the morning. When I woke up I wasn't in the mood to get mad at anyone, not even my sister who jumped in bed at 7am because she wanted to say goodbye to me before going to school. After the talk with Angela and Kobi yesterday, I felt a strong motivation to get Lucas to ask me on a date. That's something I thought I would never hear myself mention but if this works out and it helps me not think of a certain someone then I'll gladly do it.

I sat in my bed trying to figure out how to go about this whole thing. I can't just go to him and say "Lucas let's go on a date." I need him to ask me out and not the other way around. Sounds easy enough... but how do I do that?

I pulled up my phone planning to text him but hesitated thinking that would make it even weirder. Even if I tried to text him then it wouldn't change the fact that I wouldn't know what to say. For some reason the last thing I want is for him to think I would wanna go on a date with him, even though the one thing I want right now is for him to go on a date with me. Why is my life so damn complicated?

Instead of being a normal person and just going with the flow I thought that maybe google could help me, since I can't even seem to help myself.

I searched up 'how to get someone to ask you on a date' and to my surprise there were so many articles about it. I clicked on the first one which had some weird wikihow tutorial about getting someone to ask you on a date. I knew this was kind of weird but I trust a wikihow tutorial more with my love life than I trust myself.

To no surprise the first step on the list was 'just be yourself.' What a load of bullshit. It sounds so corny. I could imagine Angela saying something like that on stage after downing 5 beers.. it has happened.

Next step told me to be straight forward and just ask the person if they could take me on a date but I already established that it wasn't going to happen. I started imagining myself going up to Lucas and asking him if we could go on a date. Already I could see his cocky face, ready to mock me with it for the rest of my life. Before getting too carried away with my own thoughts I decided to say fuck it and just go to the bakery and hope he's at work today, since google seemed to be no help.

No one was home since my mom had work Olivia was at school so I quickly took a shower then put on some clothes making myself look somewhat representable. There's no reason for me to go over the top. If he were to ask me on a date only because I looked nice then I wouldn't wanna go on a date with him anyways. I cringed at how much I was thinking so much about this and instead of just standing in the middle of my house overthinking the 'date', I went to get my shoes off and got out the door.

The bakery was looking nice as always. As I made my way inside I prepared myself to embark on this mission. I felt like the main character in an action movie, going undercover to spy on the enemy. I wish that was what was happening right now. Going on an undercover mission seems a lot less embarrassing than going on a date with Lucas.

I decided I'm just gonna order a normal black coffee like any other day so I won't cause any type of suspicion. Inside my head there was some epic action type music playing that really helped me get into the perfect mood for today.

Behind the counter was a lady I had never seen before and not Lucas, who I expected to be there. She had brown hair put up in the back, some type of messy bun and she had a very motherly feel to her. She smiled softly when I walked up to her.

"What can I get for you today." She asked still with the same wholesome smile on her face. It warmed my heart slightly feeding even more into my good mood today.

"Just a normal black coffee." I said, giving her a smile back in return. She nodded and told me to take a seat and so I did. I sat outside like the few other times I've been here.
