Tom's view;
I felt out of place. He told me we were going for a double date, but no where in that conversation did he say that we were going to a posh place. Red cloth draped over all the windows & chairs, candles lit every table, white cloth covering the table & big chandeliers coming down from the ceiling. I walked in & everyone's eyes are on me & Joey. Here we go, this shall be one long night.

17 minutes later, not that I was counting, the girls come in. I was just drinking a glass of water, to help my skin. But, as they walked in, the water came out, all over the table & myself. Embarrassment count has now started. Demi's long brown hair in curls, her blue eyes, her beautiful dress, she looked hot. As I looked down to see the damaged done to my outfit I cursed.
"Fuckkkk. This is bullshit. Fucking bullshit you know."
With that a choir of 'shhhh' came my way. With Joey going off on one
"Tom, shut up. You can't swear like that bro, chill"
As he was talking I decided to look up at the girls as I heard a few giggles, turns out they were laughing at me. I give them a cheeky smile & turn to Joey.
"I just did, so shut it.. I'm going to the toilet to try sort this mess out" & move my hands around my shirt. As I get up to leave, the girls head over. I hear them all exchanging "hello's" & "hi's".

How, how did I mange to fall over in the toilets. It took me twice as long to get ready, again. I came out of toilet & sat at the table with everyone, when I came over they were all talking about the clubs they were going to join. Lexi was going to join cheer leading & gymnastics. Demi was going to try out for dancing, Joey was going to go for a football club & no one knew what I was going to try out for. I had come up with a plan not to tell anyone, including my room mate & best mate. If anyone was to asked, I was going to join rugby & hockey. Even though I can't stand either, I'd be lucky if I was to hit the ball or even score a goal.
"Oi, Tom, are you there?"
"Wait, what?" I questioned.
"Demi was talking to you? Are you alright?"
"Yea, I'm fine I must have been day dreaming. Fuck knows what about though.."
I turned to Demi to ask what she was talking to me about, she replied with
"I was asking which club you were going to join since we all have to join at least one?"
"Erm, Well, I was thinking about cheer leading, gymnastics & ballet, hopefully I will get in" in my best girlie voice I have. They both laughed & I started to tell them my back up.
"I was joking, most probably rugby & hockey" I told them.
"So you're a sporty boy then?" Lexi asked
"I guess you could say that, ha"
"He's the guy that fits in the 'I'm a dickhead & loves to play sport' category" Joey jokes.
So I get the spare fork & jab him in his leg.

After 20 minutes or so we all order & eat, for a posh place my dinner was disgusting. No way was that a burger. That was more a salad in bun & even then the salad was disgusting. I feel like I should complain.
"So who wants pudding?" Joey asks
"No, no one is having pudding. It's disgusting in here, lets go" I said a bit too quickly. I drank my water & got up to leave. We all leave & we walk past a little cafe with a brilliant name "little café".
"Wow, such a unique name" I say rather sarcastically.
"Why are we going in?" Demi asks on the other side of Joey.
"We're going in to get pudding? Durh?"
"Can we not go somewhere else?" She asks.
"Why? What's wrong with this place?" I ask her, waiting for a reply.
"Erm, nothing, it's fine"
I must have said something wrong, Lexi goes to her side & whispers in her ear, I didn't get what she said. I held the door open for them all & we all took a seat.
