Could not identify "Date"

It was already Friday that morning when she said sorry about the text she sent yesterday, ah it didn't feel like Friday, it only felt like Monday, but surely time flies, when she said sorry I just said that it was okay, and just tried smiling so that I don't worry her, but for me deep inside, deep inside my thoughts and mostly my heart, it hurts, I was sad, putting up a brave front, a brave face, hiding the hurt, that the text she sent wasn't really for me, I sighed when I faced the opposite direction of her so that she wouldn't see it, I sighed because I just really hate myself for not doing anything, well what else can I do this is me, this is myself, a coward

As I was about to go back to my seat she pulled me by my uniform at my back, and so I was put to a halt, then she started calling out my name softly "Lee, Lee, I want to tell you something", I faced her and asked "What is it?"

Ley: It's Friday right? And so tomorrow is the week end right

Me: yeah... what about it?

Ley: and what day is it after tomorrow?

Me: Uhm isn't it Sunday?

Ley: exactly Lee. It's Sunday after tomorrow

Then she smiled at me giggling, as I was left puzzled as to what she meant by that

Me: So what does that have to do with me?

Ley: well I was just thinking that...

Me: hhmm?

Ley: Maybe you and I could go to mass together

It may not be an invitation to a date, but me being asked to go to mass together is already something that I hoped and dreamed of to happen, and finally it happened, she asked me to go to mass with her this Sunday, oh my gosh, I was frozen I shook a little but I tried not showing it, I mean it was really a surprise for me, for her to ask me out, oh my gosh would this be considered as a date?????

Lee get a hold of yourself man, this is no way that this would be a date, you're just being asked to go to mass, chill myself and just reply with an answer, but... should I really go? Ugh this is so hard

Put in a bind of paranoia and hesitation, I was stuck in an endless loop of should I go with Ley to mass or no, I just stood there for the whole 3 minutes and just started thinking, to go or not to go, I left Ley hanging that's for sure, and finally when I was too indecisive, things got into place, my phenomenon occurred letting me to choose whether I go to the mass with her or not, but for me there wasn't really much of a choice, there was no need to think from the start, because I'll really go, to see her is enough reason for me to go, and so I took a deep breath and said "yeah sounds great"

And there Ley let go of my uniform smiled and waved at me goodbye, on the other hand I just walked towards my seat, slowly each step feels light, I feel light, but maybe because I just feel happy and good, because of Ley, I don't know but I really am in love with her no doubt about it, but... I hope that she really likes me as well, no... I hope that she really loves me as well; just what Nix told me the other day I'd be really happy, having her would make me the happiest man alive, no kidding.

I walked towards my seat and just sat there waiting the room to be filled, I just realized that we are the only ones in the room and it is yet to be filled with other people, and so just being wary of us being spotted so close together would cause an issue I just returned to my seat, then after a few minutes I heard some shoes coming our way, but this particular shoe had this kind of tap, tap sound, more like the sound of the heels hitting the cement on the ground, and to me this was a very familiar sound, and it was no other than Nix

Nix entered quietly, I just remained on my seat with me facing down while sub consciously I grin, Nix notices it and whispers "You must've been happy, being alone with Ley" the she giggles

Me: (still head down) pft stop we just happened to be early that's all

Nix: oh really? Then why are you grinning right now

Me: (raises head) I am not grinning Nix!

Nix: uh huh and you really are Lee, so tell me what happened

I feel defeated about the fact that Nix sees right through me, and so we spoke in soft voice, I told her about what had happened about the text and about the conversation that we had a while ago before Nix arrived and the highlight of the conversation was no other than me getting asked out

Nix: you answered what?

Me: Yes of course

Nix: Eiiiii you're being asked out Lee

Me: (slightly chokes) Nix seriously don't get my hopes up, she's just asking me to go to mass with her

Nix: and that is exactly the definition of being asked out or being asked to a date

Me: pfft it's not a date okay?

Nix: it is Lee, believe me it is

And so with Nix being persistent I just surrendered and agreed that it was a date, honestly at this point I couldn't wait any longer, I wished that Sunday would just come, but of course I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous, and so I opened up to Nix that I was nervous and asked about what I should do when I meet up with Ley this Sunday

Nix just tapped my shoulder, "just be you and you'll be fine" the room slowly started filling up with people and shortly while after, our adviser came in, and so we readied ourselves to take classes, and as I was about to get my notebook, I replied "That's what I'm worried about, me being myself"
