it's 5:30, you have an hour until jack
comes to pick you up.
after school your brother picks you up so you can
avoid the bus, so that's a plus.
jack gets picked up by jarvis anyway so
you wouldn't have anyone to sit with
even if you did ride the bus.

you look through your closet to pick out an outfit for tonight, for once you can't seem to find
anything you like-
it's unusual, you often can pick out your outfit
in less than 2 minutes.

you decide on a black overall dress with
a striped long sleeved top,

not something you would usually wear butyou thought it made you look pretty

you do subtle makeup just like everyday but adding
a pop of color to your lips.
you paint your nails red.
and curl your hair.

45 minutes has passed and jack should
be here in 15
you sit outside on the pavement in the bright sun
waiting for him, even though you could practically
walk down the street to his house
he's always been a gentlemen and prefers
to pick you up.

you get a text

jack-olyn:
"might be slightly earlier
if that's okay?"

you:
"yup, i'm ready when u are"

his car turns around the corner and drives
up to your house parking in the driveway.
he leans over the passenger seat
to open the door.
"well you sure are dressed up just to
be hanging out with me... is somebody else
meeting us there?" he asks

"nope, just thought I'd put a little more effort into
myself tonight."

"well you don't need to do that, you
already look... good... i think"

"thanks jack" you giggle

•••

you arrive at the theatre and walk up to the concession stand
"uh two tickets for mid90s please"
jack says and then turns to you
"want popcorn or anything? skittles? m&ms?"

"jack what are you doing?"

"i'm getting food... what else would I be doing?"

"you don't have to pay for me,
I brought my own money-"

"I want to"
he smiles
