Finally comes the date!

*Courtney's POV*

"Cyrene! Evans!" I exclaimed.

' I'll pick you up at 7 xx ' I reread the text from Derrick. Finally comes my date! I am so glad that he finally sets a date for the date! I couldn't be more happy! It's been six months since my last date and it went something like this...

"So..." he trailed on. His dangling chestnut hair is a perfect mess, his blue eyes linger awkwardly at the food present in front of him. Everything is fine...BUT he has this extremely bad dressing sense! He's wearing a neon bright pink shirt with yellow stockings. Yes, that is what he's wearing. I am purely disgusted by his fashion sense.

"Umm...I need to use the washroom." I said and excused myself. While making my way to the washroom, I shoot a 'please help me, I don't like him' look at the waitress who served us and she shoots me back an apologetic look.

I'm pretty sure no one in their sane mind would date him, let alone me. I enter the washroom and dial Cyrene's number. I can't believe Tralen (one of my friends) set me up with a douche. She told me he was hot and promised that I'm not gonna regret it and she was wrong.

Cyrene picks up the phone in the fourth ring, "What on earth were you thinking? I stalked this guy and gosh, I don't like him! He has this serious wardrobe malfunction going on!"

"Yeah...I know...I am in need of emergency G." I said. Emergency G is basically emergency guy, which is applicable for dates that don't go too well. Cyrene and I made this emergency G in seventh grade so that we can have each others back when in need of a guy emergency.

"Duh, you do! And guess what? Cyrene and I are already outside the restaurant, hide yourself and get out." I heard Evans shout.

That is how I made my first ever escape from a date. "Coming!" Cyrene shouts, I hear her loud thumps of footsteps on the ground outside my room.

Cyrene comes in my room, with some of her locks of hair in her mouth. "Date! Today! Derrick!" I exclaim and that's when Evans steps inside.

"Ugh, I'm going back to sleep." Evans says and goes back to her room, I'm guessing. Oh! Some friends I have! Don't even have time for me!

Right after approximately two seconds, Evans comes back in, " What!?"

I smile brightly at her and yell, " YES!" Cyrene, on the other hand hugs me and when she backs off, She asks with great enthusiasm, "When?"

"Seven!" I smile at her and she smile even more brightly with her teeth out. Evans scowls, and then sighs," Okay, just make sure to wear the lipstick Cyrene bought yesterday, it's a good colour."

Cyrene smiles brightly ather and then turns to me and says," Whatever you do, just make sure that you come home by one am, at least." And then continues, in a carefree manner and a less serious tone, "So....What are you wearing?"

Right, I completely forgot to ask that to Derrick, even though the last time he wanted to take me on a date, he wanted me to wear something comfortable but this time, he said that it's gonna be different from the one he planned earlier. I give Cyrene a nod, indicating that I'm asking him and then proceed to text Derrick.

What will I wear? 

He replies in a jiffy, Something extremely casual you could run with and comfortable, of course
