The next day...

It's Saturday; the day I go on my date with Billy. I've been really nervous since I woke up this morning. Right now it's 12pm and my date is at 8pm so I have plenty of time to get ready and calm my nerves.

I walk out of my room and go downstairs. I walk into the kitchen and grab a bag of chips. If I don't find some way to calm down I'll eat everything in the house and end up going on my date with Billy looking like a fat pig.

I sit at the counter and eat my chips. My mom walks into the kitchen and notices how quickly I'm eating.

She laughs. "Samantha, are you alright?"

I continue eating. "No. I'm really nervous about my date."

Her eyes pop. "DATE? YOU NEVER TOLD ME YOU HAD A DATE. I KNEW YOU AND JACE WOULD FALL IN LOVE!"

I laugh. "I'm not going on a date with Jace. I'm going on a date with Billy."

Her face falls. "Oh, have fun. Billy sounds nice but I'm a Jamantha shipper." She shrugs and grabs her keys.

"I'm going to work. Your dad will be home from his business trip tomorrow. Bye, love you." She quickly hugs me and leaves. I listen to her car drive away.

I look down and realize that I finished my bag of chips. I get up and open the cabinet to grab another bag but I'm interrupted by the door bell.

I roll my eyes. Only Satan would interrupt a girl trying to binge on food. I walk out of the kitchen and into the living room. I open the front door and a smile comes over my face. Jace stands there wearing a T-shirt and some basketball shorts.

Jace pulls me into a tight hug. I breathe in his welcoming scent. We let go and Jace walks into my house. I shut the door behind him and walk into the kitchen.

I reach out to grab a bag of chips but Jace snatches them away from me. I give him a look of disgust. "Not today Satan!" I yell. I try to grab the bag out of his hands but he puts his arm up so I can't reach the chips no matter how high I jump.

"You're not getting these Sam!" Jace yells. He rips open the bag of chips and dumps them on the floor.

"I can still eat those." I say grinning.

Jace stomps on the chips and looks at me with his arms crossed. "Now you can't."

I face palm. "Why can't you just let me eat. I have a date tonight and food would really calm my nerves."

Jace grins. "You don't need food to keep to calm, you have me instead, duhhh."

I roll my eyes. "What are you gonna do?" I cross my arms.

"I'm gonna spend the whole day with you and make sure it's calm so you'll be ready for your date with Billy tonight." Jace says.

I sigh in relief. "Thank you. I thought I was gonna have to eat the whole house just to stay calm."

Jace laughs. "Your welcome. I know I'm best friend of the year but you don't have to rub it in. It's whatever."

I laugh. "You're such a snob sometimes."

Jace grins. "Go get your phone and house keys so we can get this day of chill started."

I tilt my head and crack a smile. "Knowing you this day won't be as chill as you say it will."

I run up to my room and grab my phone and house keys. I quickly go into the bathroom and make sure I look fine. I'm wearing some light wash shorts and simple white T-shirt. I pull out my pony tail and leave my wavy hair down.
