"No I don't want to Amber" I said turning down her invitation. "Please just one date, he's new here and doesn't know much people" she begged. I sighed. "What's he like?" I asked. "Well, he likes punk like you, he's in a band, he actually is taking a break from touring right now that's why I want you to go on a date" she explained. "Tell me more about him" I said sitting down on her sofa. She paced around her small apartment. "Well, he's a really funny guy, kinda shy at times but warms up to people quick, he has three piercings and some tattoos-oh and his name is Tom DeLonge" she said as I laughed. "DeLonge? What kind of name is that?" I asked.
"He's got black hair and here's the best part-He's 6'4" she smirked. "Oh wow...that's tall" I said rethinking my answer. "What color are his eyes?" I asked. "I'll let you find out yourself " she says with a smile. "Okay,Okay fine I'll go out on a date with him-but only one date!" I said as she jumped up and down. "Yes! Thank you! Oh look this is what he looks like" she said holding up her phone with a picture of a boy that looked like he fit her description well. "He's cute" I shrugged. "Okay I'm gonna call him" she chirped sitting down next to me. She dialed a number and pressed call.
After about three rings he picked up."Hey Amber how's it going?" He asked. "It's going good how About you?" She asked tapping her fingers on her knees. "Kinda lonely no one to hang out with" he sighed. Then I felt a little bad for him. I hated being alone. It was one of the things I couldn't stand.
"Well, what if I told you I got you a date?" She said. "Really who?" He asked excitedly. "My amazingly good friend Jackie" she said looking at me. "What's she like?" He asked. "Well she has the same personality as you-" he cut her off. "She fucks dogs too?" He asked. I stared at the phone horrified. "No dummy she's not that crazy" she said. "He fucks dogs??" I mouthed. She laughed and shook her head no. "He jokes around a lot" she explained. I sighed with relief.
"She's really pretty Tom, she has long brown hair, light brown eyes, amazing smile-she's gorgeous -what do you say?" She asked crossing her fingers. "Okay I'll do it" he said. I smiled a little. "Great! What time did you want to do it?" She asked." I don't really care whatever's good for her" he said. "Okay well, seven thirty?" She said. "Great" he replied. "So like where did she want to go or do?" He asked. "Maybe get a coffee or ice cream I don't know" she said. "You know what Tom, we'll leave that to you" she smiled. "Damn I'm not good at this kind of stuff" he said. "Alright what's her address?" He asked. "2306 Laurence drive, by the Tastee freeze " she answered. "Okay I'll be there at seven thirty tonight" he confirmed. "Oh and Tom?" She asked before he hung up. "Yea?" He answered. "She's not a whore so don't try anything on her" she warned. "Me? I would never" he said innocently. "Yea right anyways bye"
"Bye". The call ended and I had butterflies flying through out my stomach.
"What do I wear?" I asked nervous.
"What you always wear band tees and converse" she shrugged putting her phone away. "On a first date?" I asked. "Yea why not?" She shrugged. "Trust me, the most he'll do is like take you to the movies, he really isn't good at this stuff-but he is a great guy and I think you'll like him a lot" she said as we got up.
"I hope so" I replied nervously. "Okay now get out of my house, you have two hours to get ready" she ordered. "Jeez" I responded walking out the door. "Good luck" she smiled giving me a thumbs up. "Thanks" I sighed and walked to my car.
Seven-fifteen. He's almost here. I couldn't even express how nervous I was. Pacing around my house, tapping nervously on table tops. I kept on adjusting my beanie on my head and constantly checking my appearance in the mirror. I wore a dark blue faded band tee, black ripped skinny jeans,
A black and white flannel tied around my waist, with my all black high top converse. I had switched out my piercings from its usual white to black. Should I change?
I look terrible, Jesus fuck...
