It has been at least two and a half weeks since I have last seen Austin. Two and a half very long weeks. I feel really alone now. He was the only person that really actually attempted to hold a conversation with me since I have graduated. It really make me open up my eyes to how alone I really am.

"Maybe he just doesn't really want to talk to me," I tell myself.

But that can not be true, I mean he said I was pretty, and even walked me home from work when his car was back at the coffee shop. It makes me really wonder if he thinks we are friends or just if he was being nice to me.

I have been meaning to call him, but i really just can't bring myself to call him. I have called him once, but when he picked up I hung up right away. He doesn't have my number so its not ike he can just pick up the phone, and call me. 

"Come on, you can do this, what is the worst possible thing that could happen?" I tell myself.

I pick up my stupid old flip phone, and find his contact which doesn't take long because I only have five numbers in my phone. I press the call button, and put my phone on speaker, and wrapping myself up in my blanket. 

The phone rings four times, and just when I think he isn't going to pick up, I hear the end of the fourth ring cut off. 

"Hello?" Austin says somewhat tired on the other side.

"Hey... Uh Its me Lindsay, the girl from the coffee shop?" I say in a hushed voice.

"Oh, hey, Lindsay, whats up?"

"I just wanted to call to see if you wanted to uh... hang out?" I say unsurey

"Of course! Does this Saturday sound okay?" He asks happily 

"Yeah its perfect, where would you like to go?" I ask 

"Ill meet you at your apartment around 5:30, whats your apartment number?" 

"104," I reply unsure if I want him to see part of my apartment.

"Ill see you then," 

"I can't wait," He reply when I hear a chorus of oooos and ahhhs in the back round.

"Me either, I guess ill see you around," 

'Goodnight, Lindsay." 

"Goodnight, Austin," I say when the line clicked dead.

That wasn't so bad, i think. It looks like you have your first date In just three days. 

I am going to hang out with Austin Robert Carlie, I think to myself. 

I make my way into my bedroom, and lay myself down, my stomach growing from the lack of food I have been getting into me.

"Why me?" I ask myself.

Everything is so much harder now between all the bills I'm receiving. I already live in the least expensive apartment that is in Southern California.

With that said, I begin to fall asleep listening to Second &  Sebring.
