8) Sorry, I Saw Food then Blanked Out

Fancy is a word that describes something that is elaborate or imaginative. Like a glittering ball gown, chicken bacon waffles, crystal chandeliers or pretty much anything written in calligraphy.

I wouldn't call myself a fancy type of person. Yes, I may like limited edition hardcover books with gold filter edges or extra bacon on my burgers. But I will always be the biggest cheapskate when it comes to things other than books and food.

You can look in my wardrobe and see that 3/4 is filled with clothes from Target or Kmart.

When I get a message from Aaron this morning, I would be lying if I say my heart didn't skip a beat.

Aaron: You want to go out for something to eat after skool or something like that?

Wait. Is he asking me out on a date or is it like more of a casual thing like grabbing a snack?

He also said 'or something like that'.

Which could be practically anything. Like anything.

It could mean going for a bush walk or even rock climbing up real rocks. I don't do rock climbing. I am not scared of heights; it's more of the thought of my harness snapping and me plummeting to my immediate death.

Also, 'Death by exercise' is not something I want to be written on my tombstone. I was hoping for something more along the lines of 'I wanted a pyramid, not this piece of rock' or 'It's kind of dark down here'.

I know I know. I have such a happy and positive imagination.

Maybe I'm overthinking this too much.

Me: Food sounds great :)

If I state the word food in the text maybe he'll get the hint that taking me to eat somewhere is the easiest and safest option for the both of us.

A smiley face seems like the better option, rather than leaving a couple x's or nothing. It sets a friendly and neutral tone.

Aaron😉💚: Kool. I'll meet you at my car

I silently ignore that he spelt cool with a 'k' and think of all his good traits. Like them gorgeous blonde locks, amazing eyes, he has abs no question about that and he's probably adopted cute kittens because he has such a big heart.

School seems to pass really quickly as all I can think about is my 'outing' with Aaron.

I tune out of a lot of my lessons as I have much more important things to focus on.

Such as how not to make a complete fool out of myself while dining with the opposite sex.

I have made a mental list of all the more crucial ones like:

- Don't eat garlic or onion as it will lead to bad breath (we don't want him to pass out as soon as you start talking).

- If at a fancy restaurant use the utensils on the outside first. (If you make a mistake you have a range of knives forks and spoons to throw at someone so they're distracted from your mishap).

- Don't lean over the table (you will knock something over).

- Don't ask for their food unless they're completely finished with it.

-Don't be too much of a cheapskate and buy the least expensive thing on the menu. Also, don't buy the family deals as you cannot finish all that food no matter how big you think your stomach is.
