After an hour, Gemma had successfully taught me how to use the phone. Now she was quizzing me on remembering my own number.

Once I had that memorized, I scrolled through the contacts that she had programmed for me.

My scrolling froze when I came across a certain name.

Niall.

I don't know what came over me, but I used my newfound knowledge of texting to send him a message.

*Hey...its Blair. Mrs. Twist got me a phone. Gemma gave me your number.*

I hit send and immediately felt stupid. But then my phone rang and I looked down.

From Niall:

*Blair! I'm so glad you texted me! Would you like to go for dinner tonight?*

Blushing, I told him I would ask Anne and Robin.

I went inside and did just that.

"Um, Robin? Anne?" I asked.

"Yes Blair?" they replied.

"I was...i was just wondering if I could go out tonight." I said.

Anne smiled. "Do you and Gemma have plans dear?" she asked.

I shook my head. "N-Niall." I stammered. I had a nasty sutured when I was nervous. Which was all the time.

"Oh! Well of course you can sweetheart!" Robin exclaimed.

"Yes, of course. I'm so glad Niall has taken a liking to you. He's so sweet. I only ask you're home by eleven tonight, okay?" Anne asked.

I nodded and told Niall the good news.

*great! I'll be there at seven to pick you up!* he sent back.

I texted him okay and went back outside.

"Gemma?" I asked.

She looked up. "What's up?" she asked warmly.

"I have a date with Niall." I said.

Her jaw dropped and for a moment I thought she was jealous.

Then she squealed. "Oh my god! Yayyyy!" she screamed and hugged me.

I hugged her back awkwardly.

"Oh my gosh, do you need help getting ready?" she asked excitedly.

"I was hoping you wouldn't mind..." I admitted.

"Eeeek!" she squealed. She grabbed my hand. "Come on! I have a dress I am dying to see you in!" she cried.

***

Niall arrived at exactly seven. I was wearing a short dress that had a grey top and black shirt. The hem fell to my knees and the neckline felt like it dropped way too low, but Gemma swore it was classy. I wore a pair of black combat boots with it. My long hair was braided over my shoulder, and I was even wearing makeup.

When Robin opened the door for Niall he was dressed nicely. He wore a blue button down t shirt and black jeans. His hair was combed up in a quiff.

"Hey," I said shyly.

Niall's eyes lit up and he grinned.

"Blair, you look beautiful." He said.

I sheepishly looked down, blushing.

"It's Gemma's." I said.

"I wasn't talking about the dress. I was talking about you." He told me.
