"I DON'T DO GOOD GIRLS" || CS

"A blind date? Have you completely lost your mind?!" I yell at Freddie. She has set up a secret blind date for me, claiming to be able to get me "laid" in less than two weeks.

"Yes, you really need to get out more. Since that Cole incident in the bar you haven't left the dorms except for classes. It's kinda sad, Ames." She says to me with a pitiful face.

"You are evil!" I groan in my pillow as she sits down on her bed opposite mine.

"I might be but this is not me being evil, Amy. Come on, just give it a go! What could possibly go wrong?" I eye her with one eye.

"Everything! He could be unattractive or he could be boring or I could be unattractive and boring and it is just scary! I've never met this boy and now he is buying me dinner?"

"You don't have anything to fear. You are amazing, he is amazing and you'll get along just fine! We will make sure you look amazing tomorrow night." She assures me but I just keep groaning in my pillow.

"Fine, but I need you to be available 24/7 during that date, if I need an escape plan."

"You won't need one."

"Just say you will!"

"Fine."

Freddie has picked out what I'm wearing: a black top with a sleek black skirt and black sandals with heels and my hair falls down naturally.

"You look amazing. Let me check your make up." She takes care of that as well: she applies peach tones on my eyelids and tops it off with mascara. On the lips she uses a sheer lip gloss also peachy.

"You look absolutely ravishing. I wish I could date you."

"I wish I know who I am dating." I retort and Freddie laughs.

"You're something Amy."

"When did you say he'll be here? Where are we going?" I interrogate her.

"8pm sharp. I think he said he was going to take you to a Brooklyn restaurant? I don't remember, frankly." She shrugs and trots of to the small bathroom in our dorm that consists of a sink and a toilet.

I sigh. I am so nervous. What if it gets totally awkward, and now I know we will not be close-by so I can't really run away or anything.

"Ames, he texted me. He's here. Black Range Rover in front of the building." Freddie yells from the bathroom.

I peek my head out of the window and see a black car parked downstairs indeed, motor roaring.

"Okay, I'll be going then." I mumble and leave.

I inhale and exhale when I close the dorm building door behind me. I feel like we've overdone my outfit. It's probably too much. Oh god, what if?

I open the car door after I have told myself I look great.

"Oh my god." I say when I see who is my date.

"Oh my god." Cole replies, his eyes filled with terror.

"I should go back, what was Freddie thinking?" I mumble to myself and get out of the car, but as I am about to shut the door and run back, I hear Cole saying my name.

"Amy, I know this isn't what you expected, neither was it what I expected, but can you get in? I need to ask you something." I frown but get in, since he has done the effort to remember my name.
