The Date: Connor Franta

O7: Whoopsie

"Oh my god Connor I'm so so sorry!" I quickly grab all my napkins and give it to him. He snatches it from my hands I immediately know I fucked up and he hates me and I actually was starting to like him. Now he knows I'm a kluts and unlady-like and he's gonna put me on the name of lists of "Worst Dates Ever" and I'm probably going to be top 5 on the list.

"You know what." I grabbed the money out of my purse and set it on the table. I put 40 bucks on the table so I knew it would be more than enough. I grabbed Connor's wrist, dragging him to my car.

"Where are we going?" He asked.

"Dropping you off home." I said. I put my purse in the passenger seat in the back and sighed. Starting the car and putting the AC on, I reversed and drove him home.

"Anna, what are you thinking about right now?"

"About how stupid I am for spilling water on you and fucking up a dinner that I-" I'm talking too much. "Never mind." I sighed.

"Anna it's okay. There wasn't many people eatting there anyways, it's fine."

"Connor it is not okay. No matter what you're not supposed to fuck up on a date and that's what I did. I'm a girl and that was not supposed to happen. I was nervous and it-"

"Pull over and we can talk." He interrupted.

"What?"

"Pull over, and we can talk." He said again. I did what he said and pulled up to an open parking spot. I turned down the radio and turned the car key.

"Tell me again, why did you spill water on me?" What is he on to?

I gulped. "I was nervous."

"You were nervous. You sure didn't seem nervous on the first date."

"Can we not point out the obvious right now?! I know I fucked up and shit but I am not going to keep admitting to you that I spilled water on your shorts!"

"Why are you being so different?! You're not even acting like yourself!" He said. "Or whoever you acted on the first date."

"Okay look. I never went on second dates because they don't like me. They expect me to be a normal person that has a job, is independent and quiet. I promise you I'm not like this. I am who I was when we ate dinner last time. Andrea gave me advice because I just felt like you wouldn't like me and I wouldn't know what I would do to make things un-awkward."

"So why would you say yes to going out for dinner with me?"

"Because I didn't want to be mean and it was in the moment Connor."

"Well you were teasing me when we went out last time so..."

"I wasn't in the mood for anything so I just said yes to get it over with. Are we fucking done or do you want me to feel more guilty?"

"Yeah." He said. I started the car and drove. It was silent and all I wanted to do is pour more water on him.

As I pulled up to his apartment there was more tension then there was just being in the car with him.

"Now I know why guys don't like going on dates with you." He says before leaving. I close my eyes and mentally calm myself down.

"He's just another one of those douche bags. He's nothing." I tell myself. I don't need him. He's not important to me. He will never be important to me. I hit my face with the steering wheel and I accidentally honk my horn.

Fuck guys. I'm done.

Coming back home and feeling like utter shit, I stomp upstairs and plop onto my bed. I wasted 3 days of drama on this guy that I barely know but means probably a lot to me but I can't admit it.

"Hey, how was the date?" Andrea asked.

"It was good. I guess." I told her the story and she apologized for making me feel nervous. I just hope that this dating thing stops right here because it has left a big problem that is most likely not going to be solved for many reasons.

"I was going to ask you something but I guess your answer is going to be a no since this situation happened."

"What?" I asked.

"Well, Kian invited us to go to Sam's house for a party tomorrow. You can come if you want."

"Connor's going to be there?"

"Most likely." She shrugged. I groaned.

"Sure." I haven't seen Sam in so long and it's my only chance to get to see him again, right?

"Great! I'll tell Kian." She walks out my room.

I should have said no. If I see Connor I swear my cheeks will blow up and I will go crazy. I don't think I'd be in the mood to party if I see him because all I think about is when he says "Now I know why guys don't like going on dates with you." I'm probably even going to be in his new stupid video on his stupid channel with his stupid face and his stupid voice with a stupid rant because he's an asshole.

Just thinking of myself saying "Oh my god oh my god oh my god" so many fucking times makes me embarassed.

"ANDREA ARE YOU READY?!" I yell from downstairs. My hand was on the doorknob and I twisting the doorknob many times.

"Hold on! I'm looking for my flip flops!" She said. I groaned loud enough for the neighbors to hear. I wanted to get over it and see Sam because I miss him.

"Okay!" She ran down the stairs with a big smile on her face.

I rang the doorbell to Sam's house as Andrea was getting her shit from the car. I looked at the ground to see a rug with a "Welcome" sign on it. As the door opens, I look up to see the tall teenager, Sam.

"Sam!" I hugged him tightly as he did the same. He welcomed me inside and all the guys were spreaded around the house.

"Make yourself at home, all of the guys are in the pool and stuff." He said.

"Okay cool." I walked out and walked towards Kian.

"Hi!" I said, hugging Kian. I hugged Ricky, then they introduced me to Jc, Ricardo, and Trevor. They were all so nice and welcoming and then there was Connor.

As they all talked and things, I was by myself. Andrea was swimming with Kian and I was sitting on the edge of the pool with my phone in my hands. I was bored and I should have stayed home.

"Anna come swim with us!" Kian said.

"I don't swim." I said.

"Connor can teach you!"

"Kian I don't think that's a good idea." Andrea said softly.

"No it's okay. I don't have a swimsuit anyways." I said.

"Oh you pussy." He said. I smiled and stuck my tongue out. I got out of the pool and went to the bathroom. Noticing it was locked, I waited right outside.

Waiting for minutes and minutes, I leaned on the wall and scrolled through Instagram.

Finally hearing the door open from the bathroom I look up to see the person I didn't want to run into.
