Chapter 7: The Mitch Talk

Long Chapter

Song Of The Day: Nothing By The Script

Am I better off dead?

Am I better off a quitter?

They say I'm better off now

Than I ever was with her

As they take me to my local down the street

I'm smiling but I'm dying trying not to drag my feet

*Becky's POV*

Today was the day. Today I would go on a date with my crush. I can't even describe how I feel. Nervous? Excited? Scared? I haven't been on date since Ben. I pace backwards and forwards but that doesn't help. There is so much that could go wrong. A Fangirl? Jessica? I could even see one of my teachers! That's scary.

My Phone beeped meaning that I had a message. My Wallpaper was Chrissy hugging Mitch, Nicole kissing Connor, Courtney Flirting with Jerome and Gemma, Ryan were stood next to me. The Whole Group! I love them so much. I must have been so deep in thought that I didn't hear the door open as I saw Chrissy, Nicole, Gemma and Courtney Stood next to me.

Chrissy: Haven't You seen the time?

Becky: Nope, Why?

Chrissy: It's 12 pm!

What?! It's a hour before Ryan Picks me up.

Becky: I haven't sorted what I'm wearing, My Makeup, And my hair.

Nicole: You look Perfect Right now!

Courtney: Nicole, She Has Bed Hair...

Nicole: It's not as bad as my bed hair

Chrissy: Guys, Can We Focus! Becky has an important date with a YouTuber that has a very hot best friend! So Let's Focus.

Nicole & Courtney: Okay.

Gemma: I'm Curling

Nicole: I'm On Outfit!

Courtney: I'm On Make Up!

Chrissy: I'm On Bossing Everyone Around! Right Ready, Set, Go..

*Ryan's POV*

Mitch: Morning Buddy. You Feeling Okay?

Ryan: Nope, I'm Worried About Today.

Mitch: Listen Ryan, She's into you! Just Calm Down. Copy My Breaths

I did actually copy his breaths and then we burst out laughing. But I was seriously worried, So much could happen which could terminate my chances. I just hope that nothing doesn't happen.

Mitch: What are you going to wear?

Ryan: Probably My Suit

Mitch: Really? That's the effort you're going to be in. Grab a piece of paper and make notes

Great! A Mitch Talk!

Mitch: Girls are obsessed with shoes. Not just their own shoes or shoes on other women — your shoes. So wear nice ones, because her judging you on them is unavoidable. Pick an appropriate pair — lace-ups or loafers for the evening; driving shoes, moccasins, or simple sneakers for the afternoon; flip-flops for nothing, ever — and you’ve scored points before the handshake.

Ryan: Right Shoes.

Mitch: Going out with her, especially for the first time, is an occasion. Dress for it. Don't sweat the tie, but a jacket would be an excellent idea.

Ryan: Right, Wear a jacket

Jerome walked in and noticed that Mitch Was giving me a talk. He just rolled his eyes and started to dance behind Mitch. I was laughing my head off. Mitch turned around and started to laugh with me. Jerome then had the cheek to nick some of Mitch's Apples.

Mitch: Also, don't wear a suit. This might seem counter intuitive, but hear me out: If you are going to the opera, fine. The theater, maybe. Otherwise, you'll seem uptight. Sure, the nicest things you own are probably those suits of yours, but those suits are for work — leave them in the dry-cleaning bag 'til Monday. Your goal on date night is to be at leisure, or at least maintain the illusion of it. And separates, or a nice sweater, will convey just that.

Ryan: No Suit, That's what your telling me.

Mitch: Yep, It looks to dressy. Next Grooming. Clip your fingernails, wash your hair. Women check the details. They look at a man's hands more often than a man looks at his own. Make sure yours are presentable. They'll see those little flakes on your shoulder, too, so don't be too shy to break out the dandruff shampoo. If this is a problem for you, avoid wearing a dark shirt.

Ryan: She Checks the details?

Mitch: All The Time!

Jerome: How many dates have you been on biggums?

Mitch: 2.

Jerome: That makes you the expert?

Mitch: I have been on 2 more dates than you have! So Yes... Next Cologne.

Jerome: I can take charge of this one. Wear lots

Mitch: See that's why you never go on dates. Take it easy with Cologne . They like it when you smell nice, but there's no need to bludgeon the poor woman.

Jerome: I'm going before I get too offended!

Mitch: Don't wear anything to which the words "zany" or "interesting" might apply. T-shirts with sayings on them, your "Ryan for Mayor" pin, dad's old hunting cap — they're not going to show her how clever you are. Your words and actions will. New jokes help, too

Ryan: That's it?

Mitch: 2 Things. 1- Put your phone on silent and 2- Check your fly. Are you ready?

Ryan: Nope...
