What to do, what to do, what to do, I thought as I rummaged through my closet. What to do, what to do? Most importantly, what to wear?

I was going on my first date. With my friend, Synthia, already going to have her own, I didn't want to bother her. She did set me up with a blind date after all. What could possibly go wrong?

"Oh, honey," she crooned. "Let's get you a sexy outfit for your first night out. I'll even do your hair and makeup."

"But-"

"Nope! Let Dr. Synthia do her work!"

I groaned, but when she goes into her love doctor business, I didn't mind. She has a big heart and a great eye for guys. The one she is currently dating has been with her for five years. I wouldn't be surprised if he popped the question tonight. Synthia is the total opposite of me.

She has blonde, curly, like beach curls, hair, blue as the sea eyes, and a figure guys die for. I can't even believe that the guy she was with was able to have her for as long as he does. The down side, Synthia is extremely nerdy. That I find to be the best part. We would watch Lord of the Rings, or Star Wars for hours on end. Then have debates on the book versus movie. Those are the nights that I cherish.

After a long day at work, my straight as a bone, black hair, chocolate brown eyes, and a little unhealthy body, I'm worn out.  We just pop pop corn, grab some root beers from the glass bottles, and spend the night in. The two of us are hard to separate as my boss found out. So, we became partners.

Today, though, I was able to finally go on that blind date that Synthia told me all about. She claims that the guy is smart and cute with a big heart and is an athlete. I had to see this. Not many guys claim to be that way and turn out to show it. I got a hold of his number and started texting a few months ago. Overdue, we finally decided to meet. Now, I am nervous as all get out.

"Just one more touuch," Synthia claimed.

"You said that thirty minutes ago!" I cried.

"Ash, honey, beauty takes pain and you needed a bit of grooming to show that beautiful face of yours."

"You keep saying that."

All of a sudden, I see headlights. Who could this mystery man be? What would he be like? what would he look like? Synthia got up and opened the door.

"Hi, she's in the room back there."

"Okay, thanks." a familiar rumble says.
