The Awkward Dinner Date

I'm turning over a new leaf. I'm forgetting about Karma and "what's his face" and focusing all my energy on something positive... like Reagan. I like Reagan... I do! She's not just a distraction so you can stop thinking that! I snap out my thoughts to focus on what Karma is saying. She wants to hang... have a girls night out. Didn't we just have a girl's night??? I brush her off by saying I'm doing a thing with Reagan, which is true. We're going out to eat, a new restaurant called Communal. A sharing restaurant...

Karma scoffs, "But you hate sharing!"

"I know! And yet I'm weirdly looking forward to it."

"Cause you're going with Reagan, your new girlfriend!"

"She's not my girlfriend, jeez MOM!"

Then Karma says her and Liam should join me... like that's going to happen! I shut her down fast using a "we just started dating" excuse.

"You at least told her about me right?"

"Are you serious? I've told her tons about you! I'm all like Karma this and Karma that. She can't wait to meet you, and she will as soon as I decide if I really like her."

I lie... I lie through my teeth.


After me and Reagan came home from bowling, of course we skipped straight to making out.

"I really like you."

"I really like you too."

We say in between breathing breaks. We fell off the bed and started laughing.

I shushed her, "I don't think my mom heard us."

"Would it be so terrible is she did?"

"Umm, she would put bars on the windows, no more sneaking in."

We started kissing again until her phone started to buzz. She mention her friends who we went bowling with tonight. Then she mention meeting my friends and well I got silent... quick.

"You do have friends right? You haven't mentioned any? Did you kill them all?  You know I have to ask that up front right?"

"Of course I have friends. They're busy studying, midterms. Besides, I want you all to myself."

We kissed again as I slowly hid the picture of me and Karma on my nightstand.


Fast forward to Saturday and me and Reagan are at Communal. I honestly don't know why me and Reagan are at Communal... its weird. In walks Shane with a cute guy and I freak.

"Shane? What are you doing here?"

"Just a night out with Duke, my personal trainer."

Then bam in walks Karma and Liam and at that point I'm just ready to jump off a fucking bridge. Then if things weren't worse enough already Lauren and Theo show up! At least she didn't want sit with us and ruin my night. I stay quiet and repeatedly stuff my face. Anything to keep from having to talk.

"Amy? Can I see you in the bathroom?" Karma says glaring at me.

Oh shit.

"I don't really need to go-

She gets up and drags me with her.

"Amy she has no idea who I am, I feel like an idiot!"

"You weren't supposed to be here, you were supposed to give me space!"

"You lied to me, she has no clue I exist."

"I didn't know how to tell her! We're best friends, we're insanely close, and oh yeah oh I was in love with you."

"Was?" Karma says looking shocked.

"It's great we're getting past that."

Honestly she doesn't look so thrilled. I try not to think about it that much.

"I know, and it's because of Reagan. I really like her and I didn't want to scare her away. I was going to tell her eventually."

"We've always said our friendship comes first..."

Some nerve she has saying that to me.

I bury the hatch, "Can we start over? I think you two would really like each other."

Not really, but that's what I'm saying.

"If you really like her, I'm sure I'll like her too."


We head back to the table where I realized Reagan remembers Liam and if Reagan remembers Liam, shits going to blow up in our faces.

"Amy, remember the party?"

"What party?" Karma says interested.

"Umm, Reagan mentioned she's from San Antonio." Liam says changing the subject.

"Karma and I went on a field trip to San Antonio in fourth grade!" I said helping him out.

Karma and Reagan begin to banter back and forth and I want to hide under a bus... Our food is brought to us and we began to eat. The party is brought up again and I change the subject again. They began to banter yet again and I'm still looking for that bus! To shut them up I eat a piece or two of kale. It's gross but then there's another problem. My throat began to swell.

"This must have been cooked in peanut oil and Amy's allergic!" Karma said moving the dish away.

"OMG I had no idea!" Reagan says in a panic.

I stood practically choking on my swollen throat when Karma swooped in and saved the day with an epipen. Reagan gets upset about this, (sorry I almost died eating your peanut infested kale), but of course I know she's more upset about me not telling her about Karma. She runs out on us and I start to feel bad, but just a little. I run after her to explain and Karma runs after me. Why is she running after me? Where the hell is Liam?!? I turn her away and me and Reagan make up.


She drove me home where I tooka shower and dived for my bed. What a fucking disaster tonight was. A calmnight with someone who's not complicated turns into a complicated fiasco. I heardmy phone buzz as I got into bed.

"You said all the right things tonight.Goodnight GF. -Reagan."

I sighed as my phone buzzed again, "Please don't hateme, I'm sorry for butting into your relationship. - Karma."

I grunted and threwmy phone down. Not even a minute later, it buzzes again.

I looked at it thistime surprised, "Nice saves tonight. I'm sorry about Karma, I hope she didn'truin any chances of you being happy with Reagan. - Liam."

I chuckled, "She didact like a jealous ex-girlfriend, didn't she?"

"Maybe she wasn't the only onethat was jealous... goodnight Amy. - Liam."

My mouth dropped. What the hell do I say to that?!? He can't... does he like me???
