   Annie: 😆
   Asher: what's yours?
   Annie: next question

   Asher: you're too smart for me
   Annie: 😋
   Annie: what would you bring? and you can't pick what I said
   Asher: I'd bring you because you'd figure out some way to survive, otherwise I'd probably die.
   Annie: 😂 how do you know we'd get along, we haven't even met

   Annie: kinda like how I never have bad ideas.
   Asher: exactly

Incoming call from Emily Skinner

   "Hello, this is Asher." I said.
   "Hi Ash, it's Emily." She replied. "I sent you a picture of my prom dress so you can make your bow tie match."
   "Em, I'm pretty sure I've found a date." I smiled thinking about Annie.
   "Yeah, me." She said sounding annoyed.
   "No, you said I only had to go with you if I didn't already have a date, which I'm going to ask this girl." I said patiently.
   "Well who is it?" She said through gritted teeth.
   "Um, I don't think I can tell you, I fear for her safety." I said trying not to laugh at how angry she was.
   "Asher, I'm not going to do anything to her."
   "I'm not going to risk anything. I've gotta go Em," I said.
   "Asher. Tell. Me. Who. It. Is." She said in a quiet, irate voice.
   "Em, I seriously have to go to this meeting now. Bye." I hung up. I felt bad for cutting her off, but I had to get ready to meet Annie.

Monday-
   I'd spent an extra ten minutes trying to get my hair to look right. The frustrating thing was I couldn't get it to look different than any other day! And to day was special.
   "Honey! We need to leave in five minutes!" My mom called.
   "Okay!" I called back. I stared into the mirror. My hair looked fine I guess, but it wasn't anything new. I sighed in defeat and left. I went to my room and put my shoes on. I grabbed my phone and ran downstairs. I flopped onto the couch and tapped my foot anxiously. This was going to be the longest five minutes of my life!
"Wow Asher! I didn't know you could be ready on time!" My mom said starring at me in disbelief. "I thought you always ran late."
I shrugged not really knowing what to say.
"Maybe we should have Annie be at all of your meetings, that way you'll get ready on time."
I ignored her comment, I didn't want my happiness killed by my mom's sarcasm.
"Do you want to leave now? Cause I'm ready to go anytime." She ask.
"Yes!" I said. It came out way too forcefully.
"Goodness!" She said smiling, "Let me get my purse." She ran to the kitchen. I went and got into the car. I grabbed my phone and pulled up Instagram. Annie just posted a picture.
