Ch.5

XxFinnsEggosxX this chapter is specially dedicated to you❤

After trying on about fifty outfits, I finally decide on a black t-shirt and green bomber jacket with the usual jeans. I convinced my mom to let me buy some new black sneakers since the old ones were so worn out. Pulling out my phone, I check the distance from my house to Connie's Cafe. It's only ten minutes, so I guess I’ll walk. With a quick goodbye to my mom, I exit promptly. A slight breeze plays with my hair as a leaf falls onto my shoulder, but I'm too nervous to notice. What if I'm not dressed good enough and she looks like a model? What am I saying, she always looks like a model. But what if she looks more spectacular than usual? What if I mess up a compliment and she gets offended? What if I ask too personal a question? I'm so deep in my thoughts that I run into a lady and her dog.

“Woah, kid, watch where you're going. Hey, you okay?" The tall blonde with sparkling hazel eyes asks. My cheeks flush.

"Y..yeah, just worried about my date."

Her expression softens.

"Awe, that's cute. I'm sure you'll be fine Kiddo. Don't stress it."

She pats my forearm tenderly and shoots me a reassuring smile.

"It'll be okay. My name's Cara by the way," She says while sticking out her free hand.

"Finn,"

her small dog trembles at my ankles and let's out a small bark.

"Oh, and this is Cookie. It was nice meeting you Finn! Good luck on your date!"

Cara waves politely and starts jogging in the opposite direction of my destination. Her words helped with my nerves a little. With a deep breath, I round the corner and find myself at the restaurant. Crossing my fingers, I head in.
