"Cecilia my dear." Her mother begins.
"Yes, mama?"
"How was your night?" She asks looking her daughter in the eye.
"It was crazy, Brandon didn't show up..."
"Then who did I see you kiss?"
"His name is Sam." Cecilia sighs. "He joined me as my improvised date. My night was wonderful."
Her mother shakes her head.

Sam strolls along the sidewalk eventually, coming up on a familiar figure sitting on a park bench with their head down. Ben. He thinks to himself.
"Hey!" He calls.
The boy's head immediately snaps up. "Sammy?"
Sam rushes over to his best friend. "Where's the girl?"
"She ditched me. Apparently she isn't attracted to D&D playing, math loving, marching band member, nerd boys." Ben explains. "So what did you do without me?"
"I went to the diner and ran into a girl. Her name's Cecilia, she moved here from Italy. She was sitting alone, waiting for a date, he didn't show, so I did."
Ben scratches the back of his neck. "So let me get this straight? You went to the diner, ran into a hot girl, and stole some guy's date?"
Sam nods, grinning like a fool. "Yup."
