You're still the one

Chapter 6: The Date (part 1)

A bit later, Asuna was getting ready. She put her hair up in a bun, she was wearing a sleeveless gray dress with frills on it, and she wore black army boots and a denim jacket. Brandon had texted her that they would be going to a bowling ally as their date. Asuna was excited, since it was going to be her first date with someone. She heard a knock at her door and she went running quickly to open it. (Her parents were still on their vacation so the house was still empty) When she opened the door she saw Brandon standing there with a small bouquet of flowers saying, "You look lovely tonight, but then again you look lovely all the time." Asuna smiled politely as she tried to hide the fact, she was cringing at the pick up line. "The flowers are truly lovely. Thank you so much." Asuna put the flowers in her kitchen and began to leave her home. Once at the bowling alley Asuna scanned her horizon. It was the bowling alley everyone from school went to but the person she saw there was unexpected. Standing taller than all the guys and also getting much more attention from girls. It was Rin. He must have been there for a while since his hair was messed up and he was a bit sweaty. Brandon noticed Asuna's gaze on Rin. He was getting ready to let the ball go and let it roll. Brandon tugged at Asuna's arm and said, "Maybe you want to go somewhere else?" Asuna kept her gaze on Rin. She noticed his laugh and smile while hanging out with friends. It was completely different to the way he acted just around girls. Seeing him like that intrigued her. Asuna shook her head and said, "No I think I'm fine here." Brandon pulled her by the arm and said, "I know a place a little bit more off to the corner away from all this noise." Asuna got a bit upset as she didn't want to go too far from where Rin and his friends were but, at the same time she knew this was a date with Brandon. And having such thoughts was not a good thing. Asuna was a bit annoyed with Brandon. He kept using cringy pick up lines, and the conversation he was trying to make with her was a bit boring. All she could think of was, how would Rin act if he was the one, she was on a date with. Asuna found an excuse to leave bowling with Brandon and sneak a glance at Rin. She told Brandon, "I'll be right back! I need to go to the restroom." Brandon looking at her questionably said, "I need to go as well so, let's go now." Asuna hated the fact the he could tell what her plan was. She found another excuse to make him stay, "No you have to stay here. I'm going to leave my purse and I don't want it to get taken or anything like that." Brandon annoyingly agreed and said, "I guess you're right. But please be quick. The alley will be closing soon." Asuna nodded and happily went walking her way. She noticed while taking her glance, that, Lily was with the group of teens. It annoyed her. She hadn't noticed Lily was there when they first walked in because, her gaze was focused on Rin. She noticed Rin was wearing a necklace around his neck. It was a small ring with a blue heart in the center. She also noticed Lily had the exact same necklace around her neck. Asuna bit her lip she noticed the marks she had left on Rin's neck, which made her touch her own. The necklace dangling from his neck, made her a bit jealous. She walked right passed Rin. They almost bumped shoulders, she was expecting Rin to at least say 'hi' but to her disappointment, Rin merely dodged the bump and said, "Hey Lily are we going to your place or mine?" Asuna was angry and frustrated and confused. Could he really be getting over her so quickly? Could he be doing this because of the note she disregarded? Asuna slightly turned her head to see, Lily hanging all over Rin and kissing him. Asuna rolled her eyes and made her way to the bathroom. Once she was getting out, to her surprise Rin was leaning against a wall waiting.
