I sit on my bed thinking about tomorrow. I'm so nervous... I don't exactly know why though. All my life I've told myself to stay away from popular guys; they're bad news. The relationships never last. They suck you into their trap. Acting like the perfect guy, the dream guy. Or is he really just interested in me? I decided not to dwell on it and just be excited.

I snap myself out of day dreaming.

I fall to sleep with empty thoughts.

A text awakens me.

Jessica: WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?

Oh boy.

Me: umm... Taylor. Yeah, that's who I am.

Jessica:I'm not kidding

Me: haha me neither

Jessica: you know what I'm talking about. Your date tomorrow with Riley.

Me: it's for studying and are you stalking us?

Jessica: whatever. I have my connections.

See? This is why you don't mess with popular guys. Girls attack you.

Me: well what about me seeing him? What's wrong with that? We're not even dating and neither are you and Riley

Jessica: We used to and I'm trying to get him back, so you better stay away if you know what's good for yourself.

Me: he told me you guys never did. I'm not stupid.You aren't the boss of me lol

Jessica: I can ruin you! I'll make you miserable

Me: the only thing making me miserable is talking to you

I can't believe I'm actually talking like this to Jessica. Im pretty sure at school this would be considered as a death sentence.

Jessica: likewise.

I don't even answer. I turn on some peaceful acoustic songs and drift to sleep.

I wake up with empty thoughts before Last night comes to find. I forget about Jessica and take a shower. I actually put effort into getting ready. I blow dry my hair and curl it in soft waves. I apply a little foundation and natural eye look. I put on a rock band tee and ripped shorts. I might be going on a date but I'm not wearing anything extravagant . No sandals, just some scuffed up sneakers. Last, a spritz of perfume that smells like candy.

A text from Riley: hey Taylor :) can't wait to see you later

I get instant butterflies.

Me: me too! See ya soon

As I go downstairs my mom talks to me. "Hey you're studying with that guy today right?"

"Yeah"

"Oh...is he cute?"

"Mom. Really?"

"Come on! You gotta talk to me girl"

"Fine. Yes, very. Okay got to go!"

"Well have fun sweetie" She said raising her eyebrows.

I turn and look at her. She's giving me the stupidest smirk.

Walking to the park takes about 30 minutes. I want to stop by jewels house for...advice.

Once I'm there she looks out the window and jumps up and down just like when we were little. "OMG GURL you look amazing!"
