The date was in thirty minutes and Cara was about to have a panic attack . I sat on my bed watching her pace around my room. "What if he really doesn't like me? What if he's an asshole?" She asked. "Cara chill out bro it's okay" I repeated for the fifth time trying to calm her down. "Easy for you to say you're already dating Tom you don't have to be nervous" she whined.
"I'm always nervous when I'm around him that'll never change" said as she slowed down. "Really?" She asked. I nodded. "He always gets me nervous just the little things he does like when he'll call me pretty out of nowhere or I'll catch him smiling at me and it'll bring butterflies to my stomach". "Awe!" Cara gushed holding her hands to her chest. "I hope one day I'll have what you and Tom have" she smiled. "Trust me, you will" I reply.
"You think Mark will like it?" She asked gesturing to her outfit. She wore black ripped skinny jeans and an over sized PennyWise T shirt held together by safety pins . He hair was curled at the ends and I did her makeup for her. "honestly since this is Mark We're talking about ,he would prefer if you're naked" I laughed. She laughed lightly.
Thirty minutes pass and Tom and Mark are here. "You look nice Cara" Mark said as I hugged Tom. "Thanks you don't look to bad yourself" she replied.

"Four tickets to Finding Dory" Tom said as we stood at the ticket booth. "Here you go that'll be 37.44" The ticket guy said. Tom gaped at the price but gave the guy forty dollars anyways. "Thank you baby" I said kissing his cheek. "Yea yea" he replied. "Okay popcorn, drinks?" Mark asked. "You guys go do that and Cara and I will go get seats" I said pulling her with me.
"You look cute by the way" she said as we walked to theater four. "Thanks so do you hun" I replied with a smile. I was wearing my acid wash high waist pants and a 1975 T shirt. "Let's sit at the top so we can throw popcorn at people". Cara laughed. "Let's hope they don't kick us out" I say following her up the steps that were lined with green lights.
"I'm so damn excited for this movie" I say bouncing up and down. The lights hadn't gone down yet. People just started coming in the theatre. Mostly little kids. Some teens our age came in and sat at the bottom. "look there they are" Cara said pointing at two boys. Tom had red vines falling from his mouth. He looked cute in his blue sweater. "Guys!" Cara yelled waving at them. They saw us and walked up. "Okay Cara I got you some nachos is that cool?" Mark asked sitting next to her.
"That's good thanks Mark" she smiled. For being so nervous she seemed to be calm down and normal. "I'm so fucking ready for this movie" Tom said eating some popcorn out of the large bowl he got for the both of us to share. A mother a couple rows in front of us turned around and glared at Tom for cursing. He scowled at the woman until she turned around. "Bitch" he muttered. I laughed. "Look" I whispered pointing at Mark and Cara. They were sitting very close to each other and whispering and laughing. Which was weird because earlier today they were screaming curses and unable to stand the sight of each other.
"My best friend is dating your best friend" I said to Tom. "Holy shit I didn't even think of it like that" he said. I smiled and leaned my head on his shoulder as the lights began to dim in the theater. I turned my phone off thanks to the friendly reminder on the gigantic screen in front of us that said it was rude.

After the date Mark and Cara already scheduled for another date next Friday. I was satisfied with myself for bringing them together. They looked so cute together. Better than She had been with Dylan. Mark was a giant compared to her she was only 5'0. I had to come up with a ship name for them. I couldn't choose between Mara or Cark. I'll decide later.
"Where to next?" Tom said as we all got in his car. "Home!" I shouted. Everybody groaned. "You're such a fucking mom!" Cara yelled at me. "No let's do something else" Mark said. "Like what?" I asked as Tom began to drive. "Let's go Target and fuck shit up" Tom suggested. I shrugged and we made our way to Target.
