"Fuck sake" Dan groaned, sat on a bench at an airport. He was trying to send a text to Jade asking her on a date but he couldn't think of the right words. If he typed out another message and deleted it, he would throw his phone across the room.
Joe sighed, noticing how frustrated the usually calm Australian was, and took it from his hand and typed out a message, and before Dan could stop him, Joe hit send, and passed his phone back.
Dan groaned, seeing the message Joe had sent. "Why would you do that?" he asked, staring at the message sent from his phone on the green background.
"Because you weren't going to send anything. were you?" Joe replied. "She's nice and you'd have fucked it up, if I left you to it." The Airport announcement called the boarding message for their flight, "Come on," Joe tapped Dan on the thigh, and they proceeded to the priority boarding sign, Dan desperately refreshing the messaging app, hoping that Jade would reply before he got on the plane and he couldn't get a reply for the next 3-ish hours.
The flight was relaxed, it was almost the start of the summer break, He just had a few simulator sessions at the factory, and then he was free to spend the next month however he wanted. While still working out almost everyday, and sticking to the strict meal plan that Joe had prepared for him. He was ready to relax, but also very ready to take Jade on a date. Providing she said yes. He really hoped shed say yes.
The second the Planes wheels hit the tarmac, and the plane slowed down enough that he wasn't being pressed back against his seat, Daniel turned his phone off aeroplane mode, and opened up whatsapp. Hoping Jade had replied.
She had. She had sent 3 laughing and crying emojis, and said 'yes!'. Dan almost punched the air, but settled for smiling at his phone screen to confirm when to pick her up that evening. The only thing now, was that he had to plan the bloody date.

"NOPE!!" She yelled, standing a little ways back from her laptop and spinning on her heels to show Amy in the laptop the outfit she was wearing. Daniel was picking Jade up in less than an hour, and she still hadn't decided on an outfit to wear. Amy was doing her best to reassure Jade that she looked beautiful, but the very stressed dark haired girl wasn't having any of it. She was very close to ripping out her immaculately curled hair. She looked at herself in the mirror on the wall, and deduced she looked nothing like herself in the blue sundress and silver sandals she paired with it.
"Ames man, I don't look like meee" She whined throwing herself on the floor in front of her laptop and resisting the urge to rub her eyes and undo her 2 hours of eyeshadow blending on her eyelid. "I just want to wear jeans and my jacket!" She threw herself back on the floor and looked at her beaten up Doc boots sitting beside her bed. You could almost hear the ding sign, and see the little lightbulb light up above her head. Jade bolted upright, much to Amy's amusement, and she darted around her room, grabbing bit and bobs. She assembled them all as she sat on her bed, away from Amy's viewpoint from the floor, and once she was ready, she debuted the outfit to her best friend.
"Now that's more you," Amy approved.
Jade was still wearing the sundress, but had a black leather jacket covering her shoulders and arms, and her legs were bare, showing off the black inky designs under her skin, and her feet were clad in her black Doc boots, with a pair of neon blue socks peaking out over the top. She spun on her heel and was finally pleased with the outfit.
The doorbell chimed and Jade whispered "Shit," diving for her laptop and ignoring Amy's plea's to not end the call, pressed the red button. she closed the lid, and tossed the laptop on the bed. She looked around her messy room, and decided she didn't have enough time to shove things out of sight and instead opted to close the door on the mess.
