Isadora looked up at the girl sitting next to her. She was looking  back at her which made her blush furiously before looking back down at her own lap.

a date.

They were on a date. The experience for Isadora was surreal. Ever so slowly breaking out of her shell was a task that would take time, but when she was with Riley it felt the process had been completed. She felt free in a way. It was new, and it felt good.

"So," Riley started "Where are we going?"

"You'll see." She grinned

Riley rolled her eyes as she smiled at her

"I was told that people liked being  surprised."

"Number one," Riley started as she grabbed Isadora's hands "I'm about 99% sure Zay told you that." She looked over at her "And number two, you hate surprises."

"Well if you're going to be like that, we are two different people." Isadora said "You like surprises."

Riley groaned in defeat which made Isadora Satisfied.

Riley tapped her foot against the train floor beneath her as she watched Isadora look around.

a date

They were going on a date, together. She thought back to earlier that day, it wasn't as worrying as Riley had suspected.

"Riley has a date." Maya sing-songed

She had been watching her as she got ready. And Riley wished she would go home but at the same time she wanted her there because she was nervous.

"Ugh, I'm worried." Riley said turning to her best friend

"Why are you worried Honey?"

"Because when I get around her it's like I turn into this happy-bubbly- giggly mess." She said putting her hands on her hips "It's just not fair."

Maya rolled her eyes "I'm sure Isadora feels the same way about you, so you guys can be happy- bubbly- giggly messes together."

And she hoped she felt the same way. So far they both couldn't do anything but smile.
