Wren squirted the last of the blue and white toothpaste out of the tube right after Courtney had hogged most of it.
"Why do you need so much toothpaste?" Wren could've sworn there was at least half the stuff left yesterday.
Courtney spatted some incoherent words before she spit out the paste into the sink.
"Well." She slurped sticking her tongue on the right side of her mouth to get the access paste.
"If you must know... I have someone to impress." Her as a matter a fact tone only made wren roll her eyes
"Who?" She asked before popping her toothbrush into her mouth.
" I've been meaning to tell you. It uh..."
"Good morning girls! Off to work now. I'll see you at around 6 pumpkin." Courtney's dad kissed her on the cheek. And before he could reach wren she had spit into the sink.
He left the bathroom right after.
"Doesn't he know how to knock? I could've been naked." Wren rinsed her mouth.
Courtney just sighed.
"Want eggs?" Wren asked.
"Yup." Courtney said as she hopped into the counter to apply mascara.
----------------------
"This is super good!" Courtney said as she closed her eyes savoring each bite.
"Oh yeah what were you saying earlier? About the guy you're impressing?" Wren asked putting her dish into the sink.
"Mmm..." Courtney hummed as she finished chewing.
"I've been trying to tell you. Now don't get all butt hurt or anything he came to me. Vincent asked if we could have a date today." She brought another spoon full of scrambled egg into her mouth as she finished her sentence.
"Oh... You mean..."
"Yeah, listen I know it's weird or whatever but you were the one who broke up with him and it's been like what, 6 months?" She was trying to justify it but Wren felt a little hurt. Doesn't girl code mean anything?
"No, yeah it's cool I'm just surprised I didn't think you were his type is all." Wren placed the dish into the dish washer to dry.
"Well he thinks I'm cute, so I'm going to Rita's Cafe later do you think you can drive me?" Courtney asked. She's failed her driving test twice now.
"Yeah yeah. I have to do a couple things around there anyway."
-------------------------
"See you later" Courtney said slamming the car door to see Wrens ex.
"Well since you're breaking girl code, I think it's ok I bend some rules too." Wren took out her phone and took out her sketch book where she'd written Rykers number.
She took a deep breath.

Wren drove into the donut shops parking lot before she heard a three note ringtone.
Who is this?
Oh, you gave me your number yesterday?

Wren felt her heart in her throat as she awaited the response.

...
Yeah sure sounds fun. Actually I think I see you.
Wren looked around with wide eyes. She didn't even do her hair! What was she doing? She still had her glasses on and she was wearing leggings! Leggings!!
Nvm just some look alike
Wren let out some air as she pressed her head against the steering wheel
When do you want to hang out?
She texted.
Later today? Are you free around 5?
Yeah I'll see you at Killian's ink?
Yeah see you then.
Wren had a date. I should go home Wren thought good thing she only lived 15 minutes from there. She went home and threw her hair into a less chaotic bun with a dutch braid on one side. She looked through her closet. Everything that was actually date acceptable was Courtney's. Well it's just coffee she thought. She threw on a dark blue green flannel with some black jeans and a pair of convers.
This outfit screams
Comfortable
Wren thought as she looked in the mirror. She switched out her flannel with an over sized maroon knit pull over. Still comfortable. Good enough.
Bzzzzz
Wren ran to her phone to realize it was just Courtney. Am I actually excited about this? She thought.
I'm right outside Rita's pick me up please
Be there in 10
-----------------
"Hey!" Courtney cupped her hands to warm them up with her breath.
"How was it?" Wren asked as she pulled out of the parking lot.
"Great! He was... Well we are official. Now..." Courtney hesitated. Trying to choose her words wisely.
"Nice." Wren said in a sing song voice.
"You look nice, what are you up to?" Courtney noticed
"Just meeting up with a friend."
