Long Road Ahead [Completed]

Chapter 17- Clarity

Tonight Edd and I are going on a date.

I'm nervous if I am being honest.

I'm not nervous about giving him another shot.

When Edd asked for a second chance, I had no doubt about giving it to him.

The thing I am worried about is him doing all the organizing for this date.

I used to be the one who would organize and take Edd on the dates, but this date it is the other way around.

I'm just so nervous!!

Is this what fangirls feel when they get noticed by senpai?!

Sorry, I've been binge watching anime shows.

"Focus Kevin!" I mentally yell at myself.

I snap back into reality and grab my jacket.

Putting it on I look in the mirror.

I remember doing this before Edd's and my first date.

I was nervous I looked sloppy, I guess somethings never change.

I straighten my jacket.

I hear a knock on my bedroom door.
My heart jumps into my chest.

I turn as it opens and it reveals Nat.

Only Nat.

I relax.

"Nervous?" He asks laughing.

I nod, "Could you tell?"

"Yeah, don't sweat it though," he says sitting on my bed facing me. "It is just Edd."

"That's why I am nervous!" I yell frustrated.

Nat laughed clearly amused by this.

"Are you going to keep mocking me or offer me some help?"

"I'd love to just poke fun at you, but I guess I could help."

"Thank you."

Nat gets up and walks over to me inspecting me, "honestly, in my gay man opinion, I think you look amazing."

I lightly laugh and roll my eyes.

"It's true! You don't have anything to stress about, Kev."

"Then why am I?"

"You're in love."

I look down at my shoes trying to lead the conversation in a different path.
